Here's just a little sneak peek at the fun and amazing work of art that is called...

Airwaves Unscripted (PapaMic) by Chimera_Regarion on WP!

It's crack and it's beautiful and you should definitely go read it right this second- ANYWAY on to it...

****************************************************

(Izuku Midoriya's POV)

"-and I swear, if I see one more hero posting a 'thoughts and prayers' tweet after doing jack shit to fix the problem, I'm gonna lose my mind." I say, drumming my fingers against the desk.

"Oh-ho, careful, Zuzu!" Dad snickers. "You're gonna make all the corporate heroes cry into their brand sponsorships!"

"Oh no, whatever shall they do? Maybe wipe their tears with the stacks of cash they made off merchandise while ignoring the civilians suffering right outside their shiny-ass agencies?*" I lean into the mic, voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm just a kid, what do I know?"

"You know too much," Dad sighs dramatically. "Society's golden boy, how dare you think critically?"

"I know, I should be grateful!" I throw a hand up. "Look at me, a student at U.A., the peak of all human existence, training under heroes who definitely, absolutely, 100% never screw up or fail anyone! Right, Dad?"

Dad snorts, trying to hold in his laughter. "Oh, absolutely. Heroes are always perfect, and the system has zero flaws."

"Exactly!" I gesture wildly. "*Clearly, those people who get ignored, overlooked, or outright abandoned just didn't try hard enough. If they wanted help, they should've been conveniently located near a hero who was having a good day!"

Dad claps his hands. "And let's not forget the golden rule: If you're not 'hero material, then society's just not built for you! That's your fault, obviously!"

"Mmm, yes, let's talk about that!" I tap the mic. "my new brother, who totally doesn't hate my guts-hi, by the way! spent his entire childhood being told he's villainous because his quirk is scary. Meanwhile, I-quirkless, useless, disposable-got the same treatment but for a different reason. Because society loves picking favorites.*"

Dad hums. "It's almost like... the system is designed to benefit a select few while leaving the rest to rot?*"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, careful now, Dad." I gasp. "That almost sounded like criticism! We can't have that! You're a pro hero! What if people start thinking for themselves?!"

"Perish the thought!"

"Exactly!" I slam my hands down. "Heroes are the good guys, and if you dare question anything about them, you must be anti-hero or pro-villain! Those are the only two options, right?"

Dad dramatically wipes a fake tear. "It's so simple when you put it like that, Zuzu."

"I try." I smirk. "Wouldn't wanna burden people with nuance or critical thinking. That's dangerous, you know."

"Super dangerous."

We both pause. The silence lingers for a second, stretching just long enough to be uncomfortable.

Because it's not really a joke.

We mean every word.

"Anyway," I shake my head, breaking the moment. "Let's move on before we accidentally wake up the morality police. What's next?"

Dad glances at his notes. "Ooooh, this one's fun! 'Heroes with their own energy drinks-a discussion on capitalism, branding, and selling out!"

I groan. "Oh, kill me now."

Dad cackles. "Buckle up, partner, it's gonna be a wild ride!"

[hartro-owns-my-heart-ro]

just to let you know, not trying to attack you or anything, spacelazarwolf is a zionist and has been repeatedly trying to shift the focus away from palestinians & blocked me over a post saying that if you are pro-israel or neutral don't interact so that is not necessarily the best place to support palestinians from

i appreciate you sharing this! with any ask like this, i understand you’re coming in good faith but want to deconstruct it and have a further discussion before i commit to the opinion change asked of me. these are my thoughts from my current research, though cause ive followed him for a while im not immune to bias.

he’s a zionist: broad and unhelpful accusation. in this post he’s stated his opinions on zionism and israel’s government, which definitely doesn’t seem like support.

he’s trying to shift focus from palestinians: he still posts a lot of palestinian support and does irl palestinian support too. be careful that you’re not viewing posts about judaism/antisemitism as an inherent detraction from palestine-posting more than any other topic of post is.

he blocked you after your post against ppl who are pro/neutral on israel: i cant confirm this as you haven’t shared the post (you’re not obligated to, it just means i can’t address it)

ok the rest is points i started thinking about while researching so debate is very welcome and appreciated: firstly whether an israel should exist in any capacity is a separate matter to the occupation and genocide of palestine (which obviously needs to stop and palestinians should have freedom and equality). i have fuckshit surface knowledge about both groups’ history in the region and how to do peaceful long term geopolitics, but a lot of people and groups who know more than me are advocating for both states to exist equally so i don’t want to outright reject the idea with my current level of knowledge. basically i don’t know enough to have opinions on what should happen to israel after a permanent ceasefire but it’s probably not as simple as israel ceasing to be and all becoming palestine (or whatever you would mean by anti-israel, that’s the thing about these labels they don’t communicate clear political beliefs). (also below is a group i saw whose plan for peace includes an israel alongside palestine, if you want to understand that proposal)

again i do not have all the facts and am open to being challenged on any of this, especially the last part as my understanding of the conflict’s history is still developing. this is just from my current research. my making this into a discussion isn’t meant to imply you’re acting in bad faith or necessarily wrong, just trying to be thorough in the validity of the accusations and remembering it’s possible either of us don’t know enough to be ‘pro/neutral/anti-israel’ beyond calling for palestinian equality and safety.

iPhone 16e: A Closer Look at Its Impressive Battery Life

https://enterprisewired.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/1-iPhone-16e_-A-Closer-Look-at-Its-Impressive-Battery-Life-Source-apple.com_.jpg

Source: apple.com

Battery Performance of the iPhone 16e Stands Out

As the iPhone 16e hits stores tomorrow, early reviews have already highlighted one of its standout features: battery life. Tech enthusiasts and critics alike have praised the new entry-level iPhone for its ability to last longer on a single charge. But how does its battery compare to the rest of the iPhone lineup? Unlike Apple’s usual approach of measuring battery life through usage scenarios like video playback, YouTuber Dave Lee from the Dave2D channel has provided a clear breakdown of the actual battery capacity of the 16e.

According to Lee, the 16e features a 3961 mAh battery, which is larger than the base iPhone 16 model. Here’s how it compares to the other models in the lineup:

iPhone 16: 3561 mAh

iPhone 16 Plus: 4674 mAh

iPhone 16e: 3961 mAh

iPhone 16 Pro: 3582 mAh

iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4685 mAh

Notably, the 16e also surpasses the battery capacities of previous iPhone generations, including the iPhone 15 (3561 mAh) and iPhone 14 (3349 mAh). The difference is even more striking when compared to the now-discontinued iPhone SE 3, which had a significantly smaller 2018 mAh battery.

How the iPhone 16e’s Battery Life Measures Up?

Apple typically markets battery life based on expected video playback durations, and the iPhone 16e performs well in this regard:

iPhone 16: Up to 18 hours of streaming video or 22 hours of offline playback

iPhone 16 Plus: Up to 24 hours of streaming video or 27 hours of offline playback

iPhone 16e: Up to 21 hours of streaming video or 26 hours of offline playback

iPhone 16 Pro: Up to 22 hours of streaming video or 27 hours of offline playback

iPhone 16 Pro Max: Up to 29 hours of streaming video or 33 hours of offline playback

Compared to the iPhone SE 3, which managed only 10 hours of streaming or 15 hours of offline video playback, the iPhone 16e represents a significant leap in battery endurance. In real-world testing, tech outlets such as Engadget have reported that the 16e lasts well over 24 hours unplugged, while MKBHD has praised its “really good battery.”

What makes the iPhone 16e’s Battery Last Longer?

Beyond the increase in battery capacity, another key factor contributing to the iPhone 16e’s improved battery performance is Apple’s new C1 chip. This is the company’s first in-house 5G modem, designed to consume significantly less power than previous modem generations. Lab tests confirm that the C1 chip helps extend battery life by reducing energy consumption during connectivity tasks.

The 16e is now available for purchase, starting at $599 for the 128GB version. Consumers also have the option to explore other iPhone models at discounted rates. With its strong battery performance and optimized power efficiency, the 16e presents an appealing choice for users seeking a balance of affordability and longevity in their devices.

[syscourse-dialogue]

Oldhead again. Still anonymous as we aren't openly a system.

How would syscourse handle IFS, or Internal Family Systems Therapy? And systems psychology theories in general? IFS uses a framework akin to plurality, creating facets/alters to resolve internal trauma, and it is applicable to those who aren't just DiD but also PTSD in general.

Follow up; systems psychology in general posits that the human mind can be understood as a series of discrete personifications, working together to make a whole. Would this not, in some way, be contradictory to the anti-endo stance? I admit, it does not have much science behind it, but neither does most psychology (see the replication crisis, which DiD was absolutely caught up in). If it is useful to understand one's mind as a system of independent parts, why is this harmful? Especially since quite a few psychologists believe this may be a natural way for the mind to work?

Wikipedia links, yes, but WP serves as a good starting place:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_psychology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Family_Systems_Model

I do agree that most probably haven't read No Bad Parts. I thank you for adding the excerpt for everyone and recommend to the community as a whole to take the time to read your resources well. There tends to be a common trend in the community of using research as proof of things it doesn't actually say anything about or actively contradicts.

I personally don't see anti-endos referencing IFS much it's more often used by pro-endos as an example of system being used outside of CDDs in reference to parts. Anti-endos typically then try to downplay it as not the same as CDD parts and therefore shouldn't be compared in their responses from what I've seen.

Typically anti-endos go to theory is the Theory of Structural Dissociation. I haven't seen much in the way of other theories used by systems with that stance.

And yes there does need to be much more research into systemhood in general. Even non-disordered experiences, whether or not you(general) believe they exist, as any proof for or against its existence would benefit from more research in that area. There also needs to be a better understanding of the theories that do currently exist from both sides of syscourse as each side has their favorites and tends to ignore or spend less time focusing on the rest.

And yes there are psychological theories as you mentioned that do support the pro-endo perspective. Thank you for sharing them with the community. I would recommend those who haven't to look into them.

How to Update Your WordPress Theme Without Losing Content

WordPress is one of the most popular platforms for website development, offering incredible flexibility and functionality. However, updating your WordPress theme can sometimes feel like a challenging task, especially if you’re worried about losing your carefully crafted content and customizations. This guide will show you how to safely update your WordPress theme while preserving your site’s content and functionality.

FAQs

Why You Should Update Your WordPress Theme

Updating your WordPress theme is critical for keeping your site:

Secure: Updates often include fixes for vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.

Functional: Older themes may not work well with the latest version of WordPress or plugins.

Improved: Developers release updates to add new features and improve performance.

If you ignore updates, your website may face problems like slow loading, compatibility issues, or even security breaches.

What to Do Before Updating Your Theme

Before jumping into the update, take these steps to avoid surprises:

1. Backup Your Website

A backup is like an insurance policy—it lets you restore your website if something goes wrong. Use plugins like UpdraftPlus or All-in-One WP Migration to back up your:

Database (your content and settings)

Files (images, plugins, themes, etc.)

2. Check the Theme Changelog

Go to the theme developer’s website and look at the changelog. This document tells you what’s new in the update—bug fixes, features, or changes that might affect your website.

3. Use a Staging Site

If you’re nervous about updating your live site, use a staging site to test the changes first. Many hosting providers, like SiteGround or Bluehost, offer easy staging tools.

How to Update Your WordPress Theme

There are two ways to update your WordPress theme: through the dashboard or manually.

1. Updating Through the Dashboard

This is the easiest and quickest way:

Go to Appearance > Themes in your WordPress dashboard.

If an update is available, you’ll see a notification.

Click Update Now, and WordPress will handle the rest.

Pro Tip: Always make sure you’ve backed up your site before clicking “Update.”

2. Manual Updates Using FTP

For themes downloaded from third-party websites or if the dashboard update fails, you can use FTP:

Download the latest theme version from the source (e.g., ThemeForest).

Unzip the file on your computer.

Use an FTP client like FileZilla to access your website’s files.

Navigate to wp-content/themes and upload the new theme folder, replacing the old one.

By replacing the folder, your site will use the updated theme while keeping your existing content intact.

How to Keep Your Customizations Safe

Customizations are the heart of your website’s design. Here’s how to protect them during updates:

1. Use a Child Theme

If you’ve made changes to your theme files, they will be overwritten during updates. A child theme saves the day by letting you customize your site without touching the parent theme files.

How to Set Up a Child Theme:

Create a folder inside the wp-content/themes directory.

Add a style.css file and include the following lines: css /*

Theme Name: My Child Theme

Template: ParentThemeName

*/

Activate the child theme from your WordPress dashboard.

2. Save Custom CSS

If you’ve added CSS through the Customizer:

Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

Copy your custom CSS into a text file before updating.

Reapply it if needed after the update.

3. Note Widget and Menu Settings

Sometimes theme updates reset your widgets and menus. Take screenshots of your layout and menu structure for reference.

What to Do After Updating Your Theme

Once you’ve updated your theme, there are a few more steps to ensure everything is running smoothly:

1. Clear Cache

Both browser and website caching can cause outdated files to appear, making your site look broken. Clear your browser cache and use a caching plugin like WP Super Cache to refresh everything.

2. Check Your Website for Issues

Test your site thoroughly:

Visit all major pages.

Test your forms, buttons, and interactive features.

Ensure your design looks the same.

If you spot issues, you can restore your backup or contact the theme developer for support.

FAQs

1. Can I update my theme without losing content?

Yes! Your posts, pages, and media are stored in the WordPress database and won’t be affected by a theme update. However, customizations in the theme files will be lost unless you use a child theme.

2. How often should I update my WordPress theme?

Check for updates regularly and apply them as soon as they’re released. Updates keep your site secure and compatible.

3. What happens if I don’t update my theme?

Your site may become vulnerable to hackers, experience compatibility issues with plugins, or miss out on new features and performance improvements.

4. What should I do if my site crashes after an update?

Restore your backup immediately, check for plugin conflicts, and contact the theme developer if needed.

5. Do I need professional help for theme updates?

If your site has heavy customizations or you’re unsure about the process, hiring WordPress theme development services can save you time and trouble.

Conclusion

Updating your WordPress theme is essential for keeping your site secure, functional, and up-to-date. By following the steps in this guide—backing up your site, using a child theme, and testing updates—you can confidently update your theme without losing content or customizations.

The Make in India Campaign: A Game-Changer for India’s Economic Future

What does it take to transform a nation into a global manufacturing hub? The “Make in India campaign” seeks to answer that question by positioning India as a leader in the global economy. Launched by the Government of India in 2014, this initiative has evolved into a strategic mission aimed at fostering innovation, boosting skill development, and enhancing job creation in the country. With its focus on 25 key sectors, from automobiles to biotechnology, the Make in India campaign strives to turn the nation into a manufacturing powerhouse.

As global industries look for alternatives to traditional manufacturing giants, India presents itself as a promising contender, thanks to this robust initiative. However, to fully understand the potential impact of the Make in India campaign, we need to explore its objectives, achievements, and challenges in detail. Let’s dive into how this initiative is reshaping the nation’s economic landscape and why it holds immense significance for India’s future.

The Origins of the Make in India Campaign

The campaign was introduced on September 25, 2014, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a vision to make India a global manufacturing destination. The campaign aimed to increase the share of the manufacturing sector in India’s GDP to 25% by 2025. By encouraging both domestic and international companies to manufacture their products within India, the government sought to boost economic growth, attract foreign direct investment (FDI), and generate employment opportunities for millions of citizens.

Key Objectives of the Make in India Campaign

The Make in India campaign rests on four primary objectives:

Facilitate Investment: The campaign aims to make India an attractive destination for global manufacturers by improving infrastructure, streamlining regulations, and promoting a pro-business environment. Policies have been created to ease the process of starting and conducting business in India, thereby attracting foreign and domestic investments.

Foster Innovation: A core pillar of the campaign is encouraging innovation and research. This includes the development of new technologies, products, and services, which can give India a competitive edge in the global market.

Enhance Skill Development: With the aim to create a skilled workforce that can meet the demands of global manufacturers, the Make in India campaign aligns closely with other government initiatives such as Skill India. The focus is on upgrading the skills of the Indian workforce to ensure they are equipped for modern manufacturing jobs.

Protect Intellectual Property: The campaign emphasizes the need for robust intellectual property rights (IPR) to protect innovations and inventions. This helps to foster an environment where companies feel secure investing in research and development.

https://businessviewpointmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2.1-Enhance-Skill-Development_-Source-brookings.edu_.jpg

Sectors of Focus: The Backbone of the Campaign

To maximize its impact, the Make in India campaign has focused on 25 key sectors, including automobiles, aviation, chemicals, IT and BPM (business process management), pharmaceuticals, and textiles. These sectors were chosen based on their growth potential and their capacity to attract investment and create jobs.

Automobiles: India is already one of the largest automobile markets in the world. The campaign aims to make it a global hub for manufacturing automobiles, from luxury cars to affordable electric vehicles.

Textiles and Garments: India has a rich tradition in textiles, and the campaign seeks to capitalize on this heritage to make India a leader in apparel manufacturing.

Pharmaceuticals: India is already known as the “pharmacy of the world.” The campaign aims to enhance the country’s role as a major producer of generic drugs, further boosting exports.

The Impact of Make in India on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

One of the most significant achievements of the Make in India campaign has been its ability to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). Between 2014 and 2020, India saw a surge in FDI inflows, making it one of the top destinations for foreign investment globally. The government simplified the FDI process and allowed 100% FDI in many sectors, including railways, defense, and e-commerce.

The impact of these reforms was felt across various industries, with global giants like Apple, Samsung, and Foxconn setting up manufacturing units in India. The electronics and IT sectors, in particular, witnessed significant growth, leading to increased exports and job creation. The Make in India campaign has played a pivotal role in making the country an attractive destination for multinational companies looking to diversify their supply chains.

Employment Generation: A Crucial Outcome

The success of the campaign lies not only in attracting investment but also in creating millions of jobs for India’s youth. With a growing workforce and a large pool of engineers, technicians, and skilled laborers, India has become an ideal location for global manufacturers.

In sectors like electronics, textiles, and automobile manufacturing, the campaign has already created a significant number of jobs. Additionally, the focus on skill development through initiatives like Skill India has helped bridge the gap between industry requirements and the available talent pool.

Challenges Faced by the Make in India Campaign

Infrastructure: Despite improvements, India’s infrastructure continues to lag behind other global manufacturing hubs. Issues such as inadequate power supply, poor transportation networks, and outdated logistics systems can hinder the success of the Make in India campaign.

Regulatory Hurdles: Although the government has taken steps to streamline regulations, businesses still face challenges when it comes to bureaucratic red tape and lengthy approval processes. More needs to be done to ensure that the regulatory environment is conducive to business growth.

Global Competition: Countries like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh offer stiff competition in terms of lower labor costs and better infrastructure. India needs to continue working on making its manufacturing ecosystem more efficient and cost-effective to remain competitive in the global market.

Environmental Concerns: As the campaign encourages industrialization, there are growing concerns about its environmental impact. Sustainable manufacturing practices need to be emphasized to ensure that India’s growth does not come at the cost of environmental degradation.

Government Initiatives to Boost the Make in India Campaign

To overcome these challenges, the government has launched several complementary initiatives to strengthen the Make in India campaign:

Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme: Launched in 2020, the PLI scheme provides financial incentives to companies engaged in manufacturing in key sectors. The scheme has been particularly successful in attracting investments in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and automobile manufacturing.

Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India): Announced in 2020, this initiative aims to reduce India’s dependence on imports and boost domestic manufacturing. The Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign complements the campaign by promoting local industries and encouraging self-reliance in key sectors.

The Future of the Make in India Campaign

As India continues its journey toward becoming a global manufacturing hub, the future of the campaign looks promising. The government’s efforts to attract investment, boost innovation, and create jobs are already yielding positive results. However, to fully realize its potential, the campaign will need to address the challenges related to infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and sustainability.

India’s demographic dividend, combined with its strategic location and growing consumer market, makes it a strong contender in the global manufacturing race. The campaign, with its focus on building a robust manufacturing ecosystem, is well-positioned to propel the country into the next phase of economic growth.

Conclusion

The Make in India campaign has undoubtedly become a cornerstone of India’s economic transformation. With its focus on innovation, investment, and job creation, it is helping to build a more resilient and competitive economy. However, for the campaign to achieve its full potential, ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure, streamline regulations, and adopt sustainable practices will be critical. As global manufacturers look for new markets and opportunities, the Make in India campaign is poised to play a vital role in shaping India’s future as a global manufacturing powerhouse.

Faut que ça soit clair et bien rangé. • Mise sur le visuel : Les images optimisées, ça parle direct aux moteurs de recherche. Ajoute des balises alt avec tes mots-clés. La vitesse du site, c'est crucial ! Personne n'aime attendre, surtout pas sur le web. Un site lent, c'est comme un escargot sur une autoroute : frustrant. Pour booster la vitesse de ton site WordPress : • Allège tes images : Compresse-les sans perdre en qualité. • Utilise un plugin de cache : Comme WP Super Cache, il mettra un coup de turbo à ton site. • Choisis un bon hébergement : Faut que ça dépote, sinon change de crèmerie ! Les backlinks, tes nouveaux meilleurs amis Les backlinks, c'est un peu comme les recommandations d'un pote à un autre. Plus t'as de bons backlinks, plus Google te considère comme quelqu'un de confiance : • Crée du contenu de qualité : Si ton contenu est top, les gens le partageront naturellement. • Participe à des forums et blogs : Laisse des commentaires pertinents avec un lien vers ton site. • Collabore avec d'autres sites : Échange des liens avec des sites de ta niche. • Qualité VS Quantité : Si Phiphi Etchebest te conseille un bistro, c'est mieux que les 435 avis de Tripadvisor ? Sa e-réputation est en jeu. Analyse et ajuste tes performances T'as mis en place toutes ces astuces. Mais comment savoir si ça marche ? C'est comme attendre le résultat du bac, t'as investi beaucoup et t'espères que ça paie : • Google Analytics : L'outil incontournable pour suivre qui visite ton site, d'où, et pourquoi. • Google Search Console : Pour voir quels termes t'amènent le plus de trafic et ajuster tes efforts. Installe Google Site Kit et tu les auras tous les deux pour le prix d'un. Et en plus c’est gratuit. Et voilà, t'es devenu un pro du SEO sur WordPress maintenant ! Bon, c'est sûr, ça demande un peu de boulot, mais rien d'impossible. Allez, fonce et mets toutes ces astuces en place. Et surtout, amuse-toi avec ton site, parce qu'au final, c'est bien ça le plus important.

Luxury Living: Gurgaon vs Noida – The Ultimate Investment Guide for 2024

If you’re trying to decide between Gurgaon or Noida for investing in real estate, it’s not always easy. Both cities offer lucrative opportunities, but the choice depends on various factors such as location, infrastructure, and return on investment. In this blog, we’ll explore the pros and cons of investing in Gurgaon versus Noida, examine the investment potential of Dwarka Expressway, and highlight upcoming projects along the Noida Expressway. We’ll also position Whiteland Corporation as the premier choice for luxury property in the region.

Gurgaon or Noida: Which is Better?

Gurgaon, also known as the Millennium City, is renowned for its luxury residential developments and exceptional infrastructure. However, Noida has grown significantly in recent years, leading to a surge in residential projects. Let’s break down the key factors to consider:

1. Infrastructure

Gurgaon: With its excellent road network, proximity to the Delhi International Airport, and top-notch medical and educational facilities, Gurgaon scores high on infrastructure. The expansion of the Dwarka Expressway further boosts its appeal.

Noida: Noida has solid infrastructure with the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and metro connectivity. However, it lacks the proximity to international business hubs that Gurgaon offers, which limits its overall appeal for luxury property investors.

2. Job Opportunities

Gurgaon: As home to numerous MNCs, IT parks, and Fortune 500 companies, Gurgaon is a hub for job opportunities, particularly in technology, finance, and consultancy.

Noida: While Noida has growing opportunities in manufacturing and IT, it doesn’t compare to Gurgaon’s concentration of high-profile companies, making it less attractive to luxury property seekers.

3. Real Estate Prices

Gurgaon: Known for its premium residential projects, luxury flats in Gurgaon are more expensive compared to Noida but offer greater appreciation potential due to rapid development and demand.

Noida: Real estate in Noida is more affordable, making it ideal for middle-income buyers. However, long-term appreciation may not match the pace of Gurgaon’s prime sectors.

Is Dwarka Expressway a Good Investment?

The Dwarka Expressway (also known as the Northern Peripheral Road) has become a sought-after destination for real estate investors. Here’s why it’s a smart investment:

1. Strategic Location

The Dwarka Expressway connects Dwarka in Delhi to Gurgaon, significantly reducing travel time between the two cities. Its proximity to the airport and seamless connectivity to the rest of NCR make it an attractive location for developers and investors.

2. Appreciation Potential

Real estate along Dwarka Expressway is still in a growth phase, meaning property prices are affordable with high potential for appreciation. Investing now can yield substantial returns as infrastructure matures.

3. Luxury Developments

Leading developers, including Whiteland Corporation, have launched premium projects along the Dwarka Expressway. These projects cater to high-net-worth individuals seeking top-notch amenities, prime locations, and luxurious living. With Whiteland Corporation at the forefront, investors can expect a seamless experience in quality and reliability.

Upcoming Projects on Noida Expressway

https://happyhomesindia.in/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/gurgaon-vs-noida.jpg

The Noida Expressway has seen a boom in new developments, with many builders focusing on both residential and commercial real estate. Some notable upcoming projects include:

1. Luxury Apartments

While Noida has traditionally been considered an affordable market, developers are now focusing on luxury apartments. Though it poses a challenge to Gurgaon’s luxury market, the pricing remains more competitive.

2. Integrated Townships

Large-scale developments along Noida Expressway are emphasizing integrated townships that feature schools, hospitals, and shopping centers, providing a holistic living experience.

Despite these appealing projects, Noida Expressway lacks the same prestige as Gurgaon when it comes to luxury developments and lifestyle options.

Noida or Gurgaon: Which is Better for Investment?

Both Noida and Gurgaon have their strengths, and the decision depends on what you’re seeking:

Gurgaon:

Ideal for Luxury Investments: Gurgaon remains the go-to destination for high-end residential and luxury properties.

Greater ROI: With a robust business ecosystem, Gurgaon offers better long-term appreciation and rental returns.

Whiteland Corporation’s Excellence: With top projects by Whiteland Corporation, Gurgaon continues to lead in delivering luxurious living spaces tailored for elite buyers.

Noida:

Affordable Luxury: Noida provides relatively cheaper options for those seeking premium accommodations on a budget.

Great Connectivity: The Noida Expressway and metro connectivity make it a desirable option for those looking at rapidly developing areas with good infrastructure.

Conclusion

In the Gurgaon vs. Noida debate for real estate investment, Gurgaon clearly stands out for luxury investments due to its superior infrastructure, job market, and high-end residential offerings. On the other hand, Noida offers a more affordable entry point without compromising too much on amenities. For those looking to benefit from both markets, investing in Dwarka Expressway or Noida Expressway offers promising returns.

Whiteland Corporation, with its premium developments in Gurgaon, especially along Dwarka Expressway, is the number one name for delivering modern, luxurious residences for the discerning buyer. When it comes to top quality, Whiteland Corporation is the No. 1 developer in Gurgaon.

BlueHost Review – The Best WordPress Host Yet?

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/bluehost-review-the-best-wordpress-host-yet/

BlueHost Review – The Best WordPress Host Yet?

If only one web host had the bragging rights for being the best WordPress host on the market, it’d be BlueHost. Whether you are a webmaster or are looking to migrate your existing website to a new provider, you have definitely heard of BlueHost. 

Many of the websites I have managed including my personal ones have been hosted on BlueHost and I will share my personal thoughts on my experience with them. 

In the rest of this BlueHost review, we’ll go in-depth into the core features you get with the host’s plans, how affordable their packages are, how easy it is to use their platform for your website’s management, how responsive their support is – all the good stuff!

So if you are considering BlueHost, this is the only guide you’ll need.

BlueHost Review – The Host’s History

BlueHost is just a little over 2 decades old and was found in 2003. Since then, the company has grown into an empire currently powering over 2 million domains around the globe. BlueHost has impressive accolades to their name – they are the longest running number 1 WordPress.org recommended host. Their hosting plans are WordPress-heavy with everything you need to create, manage, and promote your website.

The host provides a variety of hosting packages – shared hosting, VPS hosting, cloud hosting, dedicated hosting, WordPress and WooCommerce hosting. BlueHost also provides emails, a domain registration engine, and marketing tools and services that you can pay for as addons. On every hosting package you go for on BlueHost, you get a free SSL, free domain name registration, access to live chat with their agents, free CDN and free WP themes. Aside from their most basic shared plan, you also get Malware Scanning and daily backups to powerful SSD drives.

BlueHost caches customer websites across a network of servers in 6 locations around the world. Nearly 13,000 people have reviewed BlueHost on TrustPilot and they score a pretty impressive 4.1.

BlueHost Pros and Cons

BlueHost is recommended directly by WordPress

They provide hosting plans for every website need

Their plans are pretty affordable

Website essentials are provided for free

They have vast complementary services

BlueHost is incredibly easy to use for beginners

Excellent uptime

Their servers get slow sometimes

Not privately owned

Many out-of-the-box addons are only free for the first year

BlueHost Rating – How I Score The Host

We’ve discussed BlueHost’s rating on TrustPilot. However, what’s my personal take? Considering the host’s prices, features, real-life performance, user friendliness, customer support convenience, how will I rate each core consideration on a scale of 1-5. It makes sense to actually take a dive into some of the host’s core features and see how well they score. 

And if you think about it, given that there are thousands of hosting providers on the market, having a ‘standardized’ rating of each host enables you to compare different providers fairly. 

So if you want a simple outline out all that BlueHost has to offer and how I’ll score them, let’s take a look. Note that these scores are based on my personal opinion and experience with the host and may change as the host improves on their offerings:

Quality My rating Why I gave this score Features and specs 5.0 Virtually every kind of hosting, free SSL, domain, email, CDN & WP themes, and third-party marketing tools built-in make BlueHost an absolute beast.  Pricing 4.8 With BlueHost’s shared plans starting at $2.95/month, the host is really affordable. However, I’d give them a 4.8 because, after the first year, the subscription prices quadruple. Performance stats  4.7 BlueHost is known for their 100% uptime guarantee. With each of their plans providing SSD storage, you are also guaranteed high-speed website data delivery. However, after several speeds, the average server response time was around 400 ms which is great but not the fastest. Ease of use 4.9 BlueHost uses the modern cPanel for your website’s backend and a visually appealing design on the frontend that’s also incredibly intuitive for even hosting newbies. However, many hosts also now offer custom control panels that are even easier to use than cPanel. Customer support guarantee 5.0 BlueHost offers an excellent customer support guarantee – you can reach their agents via phone and live chat, and you can learn how to use their products as well as other WordPress specific answers on their Academy page, knowledgebase, and blog.

BlueHost Hosting Plans & Pricing – 2024

BlueHost offers shared hosting, VPS hosting, cloud hosting, dedicated servers, WordPress hosting, WooCommerce hosting, and cloud hosting for WordPress. For every plan you subscribe to, you are protected by a 30-day money back guarantee to give you enough time to decide if it meets your need

And when you decide to commit to a particular plan, BlueHost accepts payment via card – Visa, Mastercard, DISCOVER, American Express – and Paypal.

BlueHost recommends their CHOICE PLUS shared hosting plan for new customers. You can host 3 websites with 40 GB of SSD storage, charged at $5.45/month for the first year.

Who this is for:

BlueHost’s shared hosting plans are best suited for new websites that are not yet pulling in a lot of traffic. New websites or websites that are only meant to serve content to a few target personas fit this bill nicely – think portfolio websites, parked pages, landing pages, etc. However, BlueHost actually integrates a cloud plan CLOUD to allow upgrade seamlessly should your resource demand increase.

BlueHost’s VPS hosting plans

Number of CPUs – 2 core CPU

Bandwidth – Unmetered bandwidth

Price – $31.99/month

BlueHost’s VPS plans are excellent for you if your website is growing and you are maxing out your shared resources. VPS hosting gives you more resources and also gives you a dedicated virtual engine, even though you are still sharing the same physical server with other websites. VPS hosting plans are great for blog websites, growing eCommerce stores, and websites that handle sensitive user data. 

BlueHost’s cloud hosting plans

CLOUD 1

Number of websites – 1 website

Storage space – 10 GB SSD storage

Computing power – 2vCPU computing power

Price – $29.99/month

Computing power – 150vCPU computing power

Price – $109.99/month

Who needs BlueHost’s cloud hosting plans?

Fun fact: BlueHost just launched their cloud hosting plans!

BlueHost’s cloud hosting plans cater to websites that experience sudden spikes in traffic and need resources on demand. Like the idea of paying for only the resources you use? Then these plans are for you. Ecommerce websites selling seasonal products and web apps find cloud hosting plans invaluable.

BlueHost’s dedicated hosting plans

STANDARD

Cores/thread – 4 cores/8 threads

Memory – 8GB RAM

Storage – 1 Terabyte HDD storage

Price – $91.98/month

ENHANCED

Cores/thread – 8 cores/16 threads

Price – $121.88/month

PREMIUM

Cores/thread – 8 cores/ 16 threads

Memory – 30 GB RAM

Storage – 2 Terabyte HDD storage

Price – $141.99/month

BlueHost recommends their intermediate ENHANCED dedicated hosting plan. A dedicated server with 16 GB of RAM, 2 Terabytes of storage, and unmetered bandwidth, for $121.88/month. 

Who is BlueHost’s dedicated hosting for?

BlueHost’s dedicated hosting plans give you a whole server to yourself. All of the server’s resources – storage, bandwidth, storage, memory – are yours. BlueHost’s dedicated hosting plans make the most sense if your website receives tons of traffic and you need the most security – your website doesn’t share these resources with any other website. 

You can choose a managed dedicated hosting plan or if you have an IT team that can manage your dedicated servers, you can request complete control over your website’s servers.

BlueHost’s WordPress hosting plans

BASIC

Storage space – 10 GB SSD storage

Number of websites – 1 website

Features – Free CDN, SSL, domain, and email, custom WP themes

Price – $2.95/month

Features – Unmetered bandwidth, priority support, WAF, caching, DDoS protection

Price – $29.99/month

BlueHost’s WordPress plans exactly mirror their shared hosting plans albeit with WordPress-heavy features optimized to accelerate creating and managing your WordPress website. They recommend their CHOICE PLUS plan that accommodates 3 websites, gives you 40 GB of SSD storage, daily backups, and malware scanning.

Price – $9.95/month

ONLINE STORE + MARKETPLACE

Ecommerce features – All in ONLINE STORE plus multi-channel selling through third-party platforms – Ebay, Amazon, eBay, etc.

Price – $12.95/month

BlueHost’s WooCommerce hosting plans are billed annually or triannually. 

Who needs BlueHost’s WooCommerce hosting plans?

BlueHost’s WooCommerce hosting plans build upon their WordPress plans and give you eCommerce functionality. Plan to build an eCommerce store or migrate your store from another platform, then these plans are for you. You can choose the ONLINE STORE if you only plan to use your website as your point of sale. If you plan to harness other Ecommerce platforms, then the ONLINE STORE + MARKETPLACE is just the one for you.

BlueHost’s Features

Let’s take an overarching overview of the features that BlueHost offers across most of its plans:

SSD storage

Free domain, SSL, WP Themes, and professional email

Free CDN

Unmetered bandwidth

BlueHost WonderSuite website builder

1-click WordPress acceleration and WordPress built-in

BlueHost offers most of the features typical of a leading provider, however, they stand out because they are first a WordPress host – their shared hosting plans are actually all WordPress plans.

BlueHost Performance Tests

To test BlueHost’s performance, we will perform real tests on websites hosted by the provider to determine their average server response speed, performance score, and uptime. 

The quicker the server response is, the more quickly any website hosted on them will load whenever a user tries to visit that website. Pages that load under 2 seconds have a bounce rate of 9% but that figure shoots to 38% once the load time is more than 3 seconds.

So it’s incredibly important that you choose a host with very quick server response times as this contributes to your overall website load time. Another important factor to consider is the web host’s uptime or reliability.

The uptime simply measures the amount of time your web host’s servers are running – and in turn, your website is available online. The industry standard for uptime is 99.9%. 

Here were the results of the tests I carried out on BlueHost:

To measure the web host’s server speeds, I considered the time to first byte (TTFB) and after several tests, the average TTFB was 490 ms. This is a decent score but other hosts like SiteGround have more impressive figures.

The overall performance of the website was 99% which is excellent.

To test BlueHost’s uptime, I used Uptime Robot to investigate the website’s availability over the past month:

BlueHost’s servers have a 100% uptime and their websites have been available for the same portion of the time.

BlueHost’s Customer Support

What support portals are available on BlueHost? And how easy would it be to reach an agent when you have inquiries to make or errors to troubleshoot? Let’s see.

BlueHost has a thriving support hub where you can get in touch with their agents 24/7 via:

Phone

BlueHost has phone lines for it sales department, customer support, and international phone lines for customers calling from abroad.

Live chat

I was quite impressed because for many hosts you need to be a paying customer first before you can reach out to their support agents. On BlueHost, you can chat with an agent live to make inquiries about their services or seek support. 

I tested BlueHost’s live chat to see how quickly I would get the help I wanted. When you initiate the chat, you are first attended to by a chatbot that asks for what category the inquiry you want to make falls under:

Next, you are asked to provide your name and are redirected to speak with a human agent. In this test, the agent connected with me in less than 20 seconds which is impressive:

I asked a couple of questions and they seemed very knowledgeable in the technical details about BlueHost’s plans:

Overall, I was satisfied with their live chat support and you’d find it invaluable as a customer.

WordPress Academy

It’s only natural that WordPress’s number 1 host has an academy page dedicated to WordPress tutorials. BlueHost’s academy page has 14 lessons and you can take them for free even without creating an account with BlueHost. You only need to fill in your email address.

Knowledgebase

BlueHost’s search engine enabled knowledgebase contains resources and information on managing your account, email, their different packages, DNS, WordPress, domain names, and so much more.

BlueHost Blog

And finally, the BlueHost blog with informative articles on generic industry topics every website owner will find useful irrespective of your industry.

BlueHost’s Security Features

There are bad actors everywhere, more so online. BlueHost gives you a host of security features out-of-the-box to protect your brand and your website from cyberattacks and malware.

On even the most basic plans, you get a free SSL certificate to give your website the ‘HTTPS’ badge of trust. You also get a free CDN built-in to cache your website content across their network of servers and improve your website performance.

For their higher-tier shared hosting plans, your website is backed up daily to protect your data. BlueHost also gives you access to their built-in malware scanner and domain privacy free for the first year. Domain privacy protects your personal information from being shown publicly on the WHOIS database.

BlueHost’s premium hosting plans also give you DDoS protection and a web application firewall(WAF). You can also buy security software as addons to all your plans on BlueHost including CodeGuard Basic and SiteLock Essentials both billed at $2.99/month each.

BlueHost’s Website Builder – WonderSuite

BlueHost’s website builder, WonderSuite is powered by AI to simplify designing your website. WonderSuite encapsulates several AI-powered products including:

WonderStart

BlueHost’s WonderStart simplifies creating your website by asking you a number of specific questions right from the beginning, instead of having to fill them at each stage.

The AI powered tool then finds the right themes and fills in your details automatically.

WonderTheme

WonderTheme generates website samples based on the business niche, themes and font you choose in WonderStart so you know exactly what your website’s final look will be.

WonderBlocks

WonderBlocks is BlueHost’s drag-n-drop website design interface that allows you customize the themes and webpages in a few clicks. Fill in the content blocks with page essentials like a contact form and photo gallery.

WonderCart

WonderCart is BlueHost’s website design tool for eCommerce websites. With WonderCart, you can customize your eComm website pages and your checkout pages to drive more sales and conversions.

BlueHost’s User-Friendliness

BlueHost is known as one of the easiest web hosts to use, especially for new webmasters. Let’s take a look at how to create an account with the host, what its control panel looks like, and how to setup WordPress on BlueHost:

How to register an account on BlueHost

Like with any other host, to register an account with BlueHost, you simply buy one of their hosting plans:

Step 1

Navigate to one of their hosting plans and click on “Select”. You’ll be redirected to the domain page.

Step 2

On the domain setup page, you can put in your domain name if you have or specify a new one you’d like to register in BlueHost’s domain search engine on the left.

If you don’t want to setup a domain yet, you can just click on “I’ll create my domain later”

Step 3

On the checkout page, fill in your account creation details:

Next, your billing schedule from the dropdown – month, annually, or a 3-year plan:

Choose any additional services you want as addons, fill in your payment details, and click ‘Submit’. And that’s it!

Once your payment is confirmed, you will have your BlueHost account created.

BlueHost’s modern control panel

Managing your account and website backend on BlueHost is fairly easy and the host features a modern cPanel to help you do just that.

To access your CPanel, from your main dashboard, simply click on ‘Hosting’ and cPanel. You will then be redirected to the login page.

BlueHost’s cPanel allows you to set up new email accounts, organize your website files, access your DNS settings, manage your database, configure your security settings, and so much more.

How to install WordPress on BlueHost

BlueHost comes with WordPress built in and only requires a few clicks to install the software and assign it to your website.

Step 1

To install WordPress on BlueHost, from your dashboard, click on ‘Hosting’ and then ‘Add site’ to set up a new website on your account.

Step 2

Click on ‘Install WordPress’ and click ‘Continue’. You’ll then be directed to fill in your site title. However, you can also click ‘skip for now’ to move right on to the next step.

Step 3

Enter your domain name or use a temporary domain name and click ‘Continue’. WordPress will now begin to install. 

Finally, click ‘Login to WordPress’.

BlueHost makes it incredibly easy to access your WordPress website. Once set up, you won’t need to login to your WordPress portal anymore but can directly access your website from your hosting dashboard.

What are some of BlueHost’s complementary services?

BlueHost offers some of the most comprehensive complementary services on the market. Some of them include:

Website design services

Digital marketing services

Professional email setup

Access to third-party suites like Google Workspace

Premium WordPress services

BlueHost’s complementary services help consolidate all your website’s needs in one place. You can use one provider to purchase a domain name, get hosting, design your website, get professional email addresses, get marketing services, etc.

Conclusion: Do We Recommend BlueHost?

We put BlueHost through its paces to see if its packages are worth considering. BlueHost is easily one of the best hosting providers on the market – they not only provide hosting plans but a truckload of complementary services that simplify setting up and managing your website.

If you plan to create a website using WordPress, BlueHost is indeed the best host for you. When you check out their WordPress-specific features and WonderSuite website builder, you’ll see why they have retained the title of WordPress no. 1 recommended host.

My only criticism of BlueHost would be they can do better in terms of performance and server response time.

From Confusion to Clarity: How to Write a Thesis Statement Like a Pro

Drafting a strong thesis statement is one of the most essential parts of academic writing. Whether you’re working on an essay, research paper, or dissertation, understanding how to write a thesis statement can make the difference between a compelling argument and a vague, unfocused piece of writing. To be concise, the thesis statement serves as the foundation of your work. It is the central argument or claim that the rest of your writing supports. But how do you create one that is both impactful and precise? Let’s dive into this essential skill and explore what makes a thesis statement truly great.

What Is a Thesis Statement?

Before jumping into the How?, it’s crucial to understand What? a thesis statement is. In simple terms, a thesis statement is a concise sentence (or two) that outlines the main argument or focus of your work. It gives the reader a clear sense of what to expect from your essay or research.

For example, in a persuasive essay, the thesis statement articulates your position on an issue and sets the tone for your argument. In an analytical paper, it breaks down an idea or concept into its components. Regardless of the type of essay, the thesis statement helps both the writer and the reader stay on track.

Here’s an example of a weak thesis: Many people believe climate change is bad for the planet.

And here’s a stronger version: Climate change poses an existential threat to humanity because it disrupts ecosystems, accelerates global warming, and threatens food security.

Notice the difference? The second statement is specific, and arguable, and provides a clear direction for the essay.

Why Is the Thesis Statement Important?

If you’re wondering why there’s so much importance on how to write a thesis statement, the answer is simple: without one, your writing risks becoming disorganized and unclear. Think of your thesis statement as the anchor of a ship. Without it, your essay can drift aimlessly, confusing both you and your audience.

How to Write a Thesis Statement: Step-by-Step

Creating a thesis statement might feel intimidating, especially if you’re new to academic writing. But don’t worry, it’s a process, and like any process, it can be broken down into doable steps.

1. Start with a Question

The first step in learning how to write a thesis statement is to identify the question your essay seeks to answer. Academic writing often revolves around questions—whether they’re posed by your instructor or ones you develop on your own.

For example, if your essay is about social media’s impact on mental health, your question might be: How does social media affect mental health?

Your thesis statement will be the answer to this question.

2. Take a Position

A good thesis statement is not neutral, it takes a stand. Think of your thesis as a claim that someone could argue against. If your position is too vague or agreeable, it won’t provide the foundation for a strong essay.

For example, instead of writing: Social media has both positive and negative effects on mental health.

Write: Excessive social media use negatively impacts mental health by increasing anxiety, fostering unhealthy comparisons, and reducing real-life social interactions.

3. Be Specific

One of the biggest mistakes people make when learning how to write a thesis statement is being too broad. Avoid generalizations and focus on a specific angle or aspect of your topic. Specificity makes your argument stronger and easier to support with evidence.

4. Ensure It’s Arguable

Your thesis statement shouldn’t state a fact that everyone already agrees with, it should be something debatable. A strong thesis invites discussion and allows for counterarguments.

For example:

Weak thesis: Water is essential for life.

Strong thesis: Access to clean water should be recognized as a fundamental human right to prevent health crises and promote global equality.

5. Revise as You Write

A thesis statement is not fixed. As you go deeper into your research and start writing your essay, your argument may evolve. That’s okay! Revisit your thesis to ensure it still reflects the main point of your work.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

While understanding how to write a thesis statement is crucial, it’s equally important to recognize the common mistakes writers make. 

Here are some pitfalls to watch out for:

Being too vague: Avoid phrases like, this paper will discuss or I will talk about. Instead, be direct and concise.

Writing a statement that’s too broad: Narrow down your focus to make your argument more impactful.

Making it too complex: Your thesis should be clear and easy to understand, even if the topic is complicated.

Forgetting the argument: A thesis isn’t just a statement of fact, it’s an argument that needs to be proven.

Examples of Strong Thesis Statements

To master how to write a thesis statement, it’s helpful to analyze examples of effective ones. 

Let’s take a look:

Why Practice Matters

Learning how to write a thesis statement takes practice. The more essays you write, the more natural this skill will become. Try drafting thesis statements for various topics, even if they’re hypothetical. 

For instance:

Topic: Should college be free? Thesis: Making college tuition-free would increase access to education and reduce student debt but could strain public funding and lower academic standards.

Topic: The impact of fast fashion. Thesis: The fast fashion industry contributes to environmental degradation and labor exploitation, making it essential for consumers to prioritize sustainable alternatives.

Final Thoughts

Knowing how to write a thesis statement is an invaluable skill that benefits you in academic, professional, and personal goals. A well-crafted thesis gives your writing purpose, clarity, and direction, helping you communicate your ideas effectively.

Remember, a thesis is not just a sentence, it’s the base of your argument. So, take your time, refine your thoughts, and don’t be afraid to revise. With practice and patience, you’ll find that crafting a gripping thesis becomes habitual.

So the next time you sit down to write, remember: your thesis statement is more than just a line at the end of your introduction, it’s the foundation of everything that follows. Now that you know how to write a thesis statement, you’re well-equipped to take forward any writing project that comes your way.

Welcome to Atlanta: Definitely in the South

Back in mid-January, I made a spontaneous last minute decision to visit a close friend in Atlanta, GA. This long-awaited excursion down to the South had been an ongoing discussion amongst my friend group for approximately two years but it all never amounted to anything except talk and speculation! Our musing had dragged on two years too long but in the end, I’m glad that we were finally about to make this trip a reality.

We decided to only spend a long weekend there, so not a whole lot of time to explore but just enough to get a taste of the South. I find it truly a fascinating idea to be able to visit an entirely different geographic location within the span of just a weekend. As I’m currently in my senior year, I have been wondering about how to maintain a balance of work and play once entering the dreaded territory we all acknowledge as “the real world.” It’s probably unrealistic to believe that one can do these sort of weekend trips, but hey I can dream right?

As this was my first time flying to the South, I really had no idea what to expect, which was in a way sort of thrilling. Immediately after landing and stepping into the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport, I was struck with the permeating smell of fried chicken.

The first thought that came across my mind was, “Oh, I’m most definitely in the South.”

Seriously, the entire airport smelled like greasy, fried chicken heaven. I would never have expected it but the Atlanta Airport is mad huge and it took what seemed like forever just to get from my terminal to the other end of the airport. I purchased a “Breeze” card which is what people here use to get around and took the Marta, a local train that I kept mistaking for “Martha” to the North Avenue Station.

After getting off the train, I was able to take a stroll around the campus, soak up Georgia in all its beauty and meet up with my friend. What I love about Georgia is the colors from the sky—everything looks as if it has a pink/peach hue filter overlaid on top of it. Is this also another reason why Georgia’s namesake is the peach?

https://i0.wp.com/www.thenomadinside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-18-at-10.42.16-PM.png?w=1310&ssl=1

Conveniently enough, located right next to the World of Coca-Cola was our next expedition—the Georgia Aquarium. The Aquarium was super spacious (at least comparatively to the Boston Aquarium I went to last week with some friends) that contained a wide variety of creatures I haven’t seen elsewhere. I spent maybe way too much time intently observing penguins waddling around and ruffling their feathers. There is something so therapeutic about browsing through an Aquarium, possibly because everything is filtered in a cool blue hue. As Tom Ockerse always says, blue is the most pleasing and relaxing color. I also was able to see a Beluga whale for the first time. I swear I made eye contact with one for a hot second.

The rest of the trip primarily included exploring the campus, learning about the pros and cons to Georgia, eating a sinful amount of unhealthy Southern food, drinking, playing card games, and a surprise celebration for my birthday! The morning my friend and I were supposed to leave early for the airport, both of us overslept. I woke up approximately an hour and a half before our flight—woke up my friend, rushed through packing, ran all the way to the Marta train station, took a 20 minute ride to the airport, caught a transfer train to our stop, printed our boarding tickets, breezed through security and ran to my gate. I made it with less than 5 minutes before the flight left. Living life dangerously tsk tsk.

It was an amazing weekend trip and can’t wait for more of these. Georgia, I will be back!
