The data were collected through pre-test and post-test. The result of the data indicated that there was only little difference between students' post-test in experimental class and controlled class. The mean score of post-test (47.25) in experimental class was higher than the mean score of post-test (42.5) in controlled class and the standard deviation of post-test (9.93) in experimental class was higher than the standard deviation of post-test in controlled class (6.58). But, from t-test, the researcher found that the value of t-test (1.78) was lower than t-table (2.042) at the level of significance (α) = 0.05 with degree of freedom (df) = (N1 +N2)-2 = (20 + 20) – 2 = 38

Great experience! Josue was great in every way. We went over 3000 miles and RV ran great. I would recommend and rent from Josue again.
This RV was in great condition everything works and it drives beautifully. Owner is very responsive and easy to work with. Had a great time and look forward to doing it again.
This was the perfect accent to my family's first vacation. We started off in Tucson, Arizona drove to Albuquerque, New Mexico back through Tucson hit Las Vegas then California down the coastal Highway. My family was completely happy with the entire vacation. From the beginning all the way until we got home. The RV was super clean and easy to drive. The only issue was there was no leveling jacks so we were a little off balanced. Josue was very friendly, thorough with the RV tour and responded quickly to all my messages. Thanks again!
What a great experience! Josue was awesome to work with. The RV was perfect for our family and we didn't have a single issue with it. The RV was very clean and functioned as expected. We would totally recommend this RV and plan to use it again.
Great experience, very clean and well kept, Josue was very informative with the unit and precise. Will definitely be using his service soon.

Everyone who's read the classic children's story The Velveteen Rabbit or seen at least one Toy Story movie knows that toys are often a child's first friends and are often the first victims of age and shabbiness. No matter how excellently a child cares for their toys, they usually come through childhood minus a few pieces and looking less than like new.
Such a situation occurred with my mom's beloved doll Marialynda. Marialynda is a baby doll made by the Horseman company in the 1960s, who was loved by my mother for all her life. After our house fire in 2001, Marialynda was damaged by the smoke which destroyed her dress, socks and shoes, and made her hair dry. Marialynda was put away until we could afford to have her restored, but as time went on, it seemed less and less likely that we could ever afford to get her fixed.
I had always had an interest in toy restoration. I often fixed my own and brothers' toys and kept that interest alive, but was not able to act on it until recently. Recently, I started looking at various ways of restoring dolls. Some of them called for exotic materials like wig shampoo and fabric softener that I didn't have on hand, nor could get my hands on. I tried fabric softener, but that didn't work out at all. Then I tried a method that called for only three things: Johnson's baby shampoo, a plastic tub, and hot water. It worked wonders! The first doll I tried was my poor Disney's Hercules Megara doll, whose hair had been through the ringer. After a relaxing day at the spa, Meg's hair was restored to it's original shine and softness. I was amazed at the difference!
Now, how does a modern Barbie-style doll relate to Marialynda? Well I found Marialynda and I decided that I would try to fix her. I raided Ebay for new clothes, got advice from my doll contacts (affectionately called the "Doll Mafia") and was able to gently restore Marialynda to her former glory. After that, I bought several dolls from EBay who needed care, four 18 inch dolls and two fashion dolls and restored them too!
One of the best things about doll restoration is that an old toy can go to a new child. Not all families have the means to buy brand new toys for their children, but to most children a new toy is a new toy, it doesn't matter where it comes from. (More than one "used" toy became a favorite around my house!) But 9 times out of 10, old toys look… old. But with a little time, dolls and toys can be restored to use and love. Don't think that doll you picked up at that garage sale is a hopeless wreck! Call on me or another doll lover, we can help!

Being aware of everyone's social emotional state is extremely important right now. This video talks about how important it is to start the day off on a positive note, as how we start the day sets the tone for what our brain will be looking for the rest of the day, fear/anxiety or positivity. A morning "meeting," afternoon check-in, and night time debrief are amazing ways to have family members share their feelings, what they are struggling with, discuss how they can make the next day better, and help add structure and predictability to the day.
Daily Check Ins video
Main Points:
Prime for Positive
- When you start the brain on positivity, it makes you more open minded and better able to regulate your emotions during the day.
- If you look at the news, social media, or something that causes anxiety early in the morning, reboot and find something positive to start the day positive.
Emotional Check In
- Have a morning meeting with family members to see how everyone is feeling. This could be cuddled in bed, during breakfast, or however else works for your family.
- When everyone is sharing their feelings, it is important to validate them. Everyone, especially now, needs to have their feelings heard.
- Feelings check ins communicate that how everyone feels is important and normalizes feelings. Children can see that everyone is sad, mad, frustrated sometimes; share how you manage those feelings.
- Review what is going on that day. Review/adjust the structure you have for the day.
- If needed, have more emotional check ins during the day.
- Younger children may need pictures/guides to identify what they are feeling.
Evening Debrief
- At the end of the day and see how the day went. What does everyone need to change or keep the same for the next day? How can we make the next day better? What went well?
- It is ok if the day did not go as planned, but make sure to adjust for the next day, and learn from mistakes!

The Straits Times says
Ensure town councils are run properly
Even established organisations slip up occasionally, as is evident when issues are raised from time to time by consumers, investors, regulators or the Auditor-General. But when "systemic difficulties" are identified by independent auditors, as was the case when KPMG reviewed the books of the Workers' Party-run Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC), these call for an overhaul, not just targeted remedies. KPMG found "pervasive control failures" in the town council's accounts and work processes. The weaknesses it identified cover key areas of governance, financial control, financial reporting, procurement and records management. Despite the significance of these, the town council had in past years shrugged off similar criticism as "old issues" and made little progress in addressing the problems.
The question that arises is how far the law should go to compel town councils to implement a management regime that emphasises competence and accountability. A review of the Town Councils Act, which is now being undertaken, has to weigh this against the primary intent of granting elected Members of Parliament sufficient autonomy to work with residents to make a difference in HDB estates within their constituencies. Making a distinction between isolated lapses and systemic deficiencies might be useful in order to avoid tying up town councils with excessive red tape. Nor should the rules be so arduous that councils in effect become a division of a government agency and smaller parties that lack experience and support find they are doomed to fail.
Many would agree, however, that baseline standards are necessary to ensure citizens' needs are met and public funds are safeguarded, without having to hold councils to account in an agonising manner. Town councils should not be allowed to go entirely their own way with little regard for acceptable standards. After all, councils lie at the heart of a grassroots administrative process that feeds into the larger national objective of clean and efficient governance. Whichever the political party running a council, functional capability must constitute the basis of legitimacy in Singapore.
Amendments to the Town Councils Act should focus on shortcomings in existing legislation that permit a council to drag its feet despite forthright comments from independent sources, including the courts. If key requirements are spelt out, town councils of all political stripes will have less scope to turn issues of competence, governance and effectiveness into political disputes, with residents' interests caught up in seemingly interminable partisan wrangling.
While granting town councils sufficient leeway, it must be made clear they are ultimately subordinate to the authority of public law, like companies and charities operating in different contexts.

I work with a guy that every time he talks all I can do is think of Squidward cause he sounds just like him
I've watched it many times with the kids. Not one of my favorites, though.
Out of all the great post today, I had to come to this one first....
OMG....I love Spongebob
My favorite is Patrick Star (I think cause I act like him sometimes, no joke)
We actually use a lot of Spongebob quotes in my house.

How to Choose a Painters and Decorators for Your Next Project
Picking a painter for your paint job can be a very overwhelming job – trust us, we know. There are a lot of aspects to consider when vetting prospective painting contractors; your schedule, safety, and spending plan are only three of the numerous information you'll want to keep in mind.
To help with your selection process, we've gathered a guide to choosing the ideal painter for your task.
Do Your Research
Prior to you start looking, know exactly what you are trying to find. Examine if your state requires a license for painting, and if you reside in an apartment building, see what additional insurance paperwork is needed. At the very least, you'll want to guarantee your painter or painting company has:
General Liability Insurance
Worker's Comp Insurance
Without correct insurance coverage, you could be held responsible for accidents or injuries that may happen on your task.
Other things you need to be looking for consist of: the painters' experience and how trust-worthy they are (PremierPainting needs a minimum of 5 years expert painting experience, a background check, and evidence of a strong portfolio of work).
Reference Check
Spend a long time discovering reviews of your possible paint contractor's work. Websites like Yelp and Angie's List permit users to leave feedback on companies they have actually dealt with. Lots of organisations, also use third-party platforms to get client feedback from past clients, so that they are totally non-biased.
If you can't find these, you can also ask your painter for a couple of referrals to call and inquire about the service. It's essential you hire someone that is knowledgable about the painting market and the very best products to use, carries out great quality work that will last, and is personable and reliable sufficient to have in your home. Do not be nervous to ask about this, or to look for evidence of it, you should have the best in your home!
Understand Your Quote
Budget is among the most significant concerns when it pertains to employing contractors. That's why it is so essential that you identify estimates from quotes. Numerous painters will offer unclear price quotes that are "subject to alter;" these numbers are too versatile to be counted on. Ask instead for a tough quote: a priced based entirely on the details of your particular job, not affected by outside aspects like the season, your timeline, or 'the car in your driveway'.
Likewise make certain to inspect exactly what is included in your quote. Does the cost consist of the paint? Have tax and idea been added? Do you have to pay extra for prep work or clean up? To help you with these, we've developed a checklist that you can use to compare paint quotes from each of the painting specialists your are considering for your task.
Planning and Scheduling
After your spending plan, your timeline is likely the next vital detail of your paint project. Regrettably, locking down painters during your specific favored timeframe is not constantly possible. Be sure to be upfront about your favored start date and any scheduling requirements. Especially during hectic seasons, like the spring and summer season, paint crews can book up early, and it can be hard to turn around projects rapidly. Ask simply how on-demand painters can be.
An extra suggestion – speak to the specialist about how your schedule affects the rate (at PremierPainting, it never does. But we can't speak for other organisations!). Verify that your rate will remain as-quoted even if it requires additional days on-site. Be clear about your deadline for conclusion, particularly if you are moving or having actually other vendors come in after painters too. An excellent professional will wish to follow your timeline demands, and won't change your price based on your schedule.
Exists Any Guarantee on the Work?
Paint teams that are positive in their ability and proficiency ought to – and typically do – offer money-back guarantees on their work. Here at Paintzen, we provide consumers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you're not pleased, we'll return free of charge and repair any locations of concern. Although the hope is that everything is painted to perfection the first time, we understand it feels good knowing that there is built-in protection.

3 1/2 stars
As part of Pride Films & Plays' exploration of all things gender related, we travel back to the Chevalier d'Eon Resort in the Catskill Mountains. It's 1962, and a secret world is revealed to 21st century audiences that actually existed during those more innocent, post-war years.
For at least one weekend during the late Spring, a group of happily married men with families, highly-respected in their chosen, white-collar professions, gather in this secluded Garden of Eden to express their alter-egos.
These men are not homosexuals, nor do they harbor a hidden desire to undergo surgery in order to become full-time women. They're cross-dressers who, in private, simply enjoy (sometimes) being a girl.
In this remote setting, several longtime friends and a couple of new acquaintances, are provided the freedom to express themselves as feminine, girly girls in their own private, woman's world.

Yes I still have Android on the devices (I've booted on LibreELEC with one SD card). I've installed AIDA64 but it displayed me also 3 GB.
But I've also installed a memory filler/pumper and results are consistent with the RAM displayed on LibreELEC because on the one displayed 800 MB the app stops fill memory at about 2100-2200 MB, and on the one displayed 1700 MB the app stops at 1000-1100 MB.
So I think that these 2 box are not really 3GB like kszaq suggests me since the beginning (but I would like to be sure and the memory tests confirm this suggestion).
I think to install directly LE on the NAND because 1 GB RAM could be just with Android + Kodi and I bought these box for multimedia function.
Anyway, thanks for your help to both of you.
Bummer, can you return the boxes?
I am a lowly beginner on LibreELEC, my understanding is that LibreELEC will run well on 1GB RAM and performance on a good quality SDCard performance should also be good, maybe no need to burn to Nand and lose Android.
This post indicates that you may notice little or no performance difference between quality SDCard and Nand [8.1.8] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X
Also there is a post on this forum showing how you can run LibreELEC from SDCard but store your runtime files in RAM
Good luck whatever happens

Alabama Lawmakers Vote to Effectively Ban Abortion in the State
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Senate approved a measure on Tuesday that would outlaw almost all abortions in the state, setting up a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, the case that recognized a woman's constitutional right to end a pregnancy. The legislation bans abortions at every stage of pregnancy and criminalizes the procedure for doctors, who could be charged with felonies and face up to 99 years in prison. It includes an exception for cases when the mother's life is at serious risk, but not for cases of rape or incest — a subject of fierce debate among lawmakers in recent days.
The House approved the measure — the most far-reaching effort in the nation this year to curb abortion rights — last month. It now moves to the desk of Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican. Although the governor has not publicly committed to signing the legislation, many Republican lawmakers expect her support. In an email on Tuesday night, a spokeswoman for the governor, Lori Davis Jhons, said Ms. Ivey would "withhold comment until she has had a chance to thoroughly review the final version of the bill that passed."
Opponents have vowed to challenge the measure in federal court if it becomes law. Even the legislation's supporters expect that a lower court will block the measure. But it was drafted with exactly that in mind. The ban's architects, reflecting the rising confidence of abortion critics nationwide after the appointment of Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, hope that the justices will use the case to reconsider the central holding in Roe and allow the Alabama measure to take effect. "Until now, there was no prospect of reversing Roe," said Eric Johnston, who founded the Alabama Pro-Life Coalition and serves as its president, and has spent more than 30 years trying to ban abortion.
Mr. Johnston, who drafted the Alabama bill and sees himself as a purist on the abortion issue, said he did not support the spate of restrictive legislation that other states have enacted in recent months, including so-called fetal heartbeat bills. These bills essentially ban abortions starting at six weeks after conception, a time when many women do not yet know they are pregnant.
Given the current leanings of the Supreme Court, Mr. Johnston said, making such a measure, which does not directly challenge Roe, the subject of the court's next major abortion case would be a wasted opportunity. "Why not go all the way?" he asked.
The Senate gallery was full before the debate started on Tuesday afternoon. A long line of people waited to take seats when people left. Many in the audience were abortion rights activists, and at times they laughed when male lawmakers spoke about pregnancy and other female health issues. Senator Rodger Smitherman, a Democrat, told colleagues that during his wife's pregnancy with their son, doctors had told him it was unlikely that the child would be born alive. Mr. Smitherman said that he and his wife had decided to have the child anyway, and that his son had been born with significant health problems. "The significance," he said, "is I had the choice."
Democrats and abortion-rights advocates say that the Alabama measure would drive the procedure underground, endangering the lives of women and girls and disproportionately affecting poor and minority Alabamians. "We want abortions to be safe, and we want them to be few, but it should be legal, because there will be abortions," said Senator Linda Coleman-Madison, a Democrat and one of the four women in the 35-member Senate. "The people who have the wherewithal will fly out of state," she added. "Not everyone can afford to do that." The Senate took the bill up again on Tuesday after an earlier attempt to debate the measure last week descended into shouting and chaos. Tensions erupted, including some within the dominant Republican Party, over whether to include exceptions to the ban in cases of rape or incest. A Senate committee had amended the bill to include those exceptions, prompting a bitter dispute that postponed consideration of the bill for days.
Even so, the fate of the bill was never in much doubt, and it did not take long for the proposal to return to the Senate floor. It passed after lawmakers rejected the amendment adding rape and incest exceptions. Senator Clyde Chambliss, a Republican and sponsor of the bill in the Senate, defended the omission of those exceptions. "When God creates the miracle of life inside a woman's womb," he said, "it is not our place as human beings to extinguish that life." Other state measures to restrict abortion rights have advanced in the South and the Midwest this year and invited legal fights. Already, the governors of Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Ohio have signed fetal heartbeat bills. And Arkansas moved up the cutoff point for legal abortions to 18 weeks of pregnancy, from 20 weeks.
The Alabama measure, though, goes farther. In addition to the potential 99-year sentence for performing abortions, doctors face the threat of a 10-year term for attempting to perform one. Women who receive abortions would not be prosecuted.
The timing of any litigation over the bill is uncertain. Opponents of the measure intend to argue that Alabama will have unlawfully restricted a right that the courts have repeatedly reaffirmed since Roe. Alabama, a conservative state where Republicans control the Legislature, has repeatedly sought to enact limits on abortion. In 2018, voters overwhelmingly endorsed an amendment to the
Alabama Constitution declaring that the "public policy of this state is to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children, including the right to life." In the past, state lawmakers imposed a 48-hour waiting period for abortions; mandated that women receive counseling before undergoing the procedure; and required minors to receive consent from a parent or legal guardian to have an abortion. Emboldened by the passage of the state constitutional amendment, lawmakers set out this year with a far more aggressive strategy in mind. Senator Greg Reed, a Republican who is the State Senate majority leader, said in a statement after Tuesday night's vote that the measure "simply recognizes that an unborn baby is a child who deserves protection — and despite the best efforts of abortion proponents, this bill will become law because Alabamians stand firmly on the side of life."
Supporters of abortion rights took a grimmer view. "Today is a dark day for women in Alabama and across this country," said Staci Fox, the president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood Southeast Advocates. "Banning abortion is bad enough. Imprisoning doctors for providing care goes beyond the brink. Alabama politicians will forever live in infamy for this vote and we will make sure that every woman knows who to hold accountable." Even as some states have moved to limit abortions, other states with Democratic-leaning governments have rushed this year to fortify legal protections for the procedure. Vermont recently took steps toward a state constitutional amendment enshrining a "right to personal reproductive autonomy." And in January, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York signed a measure that guaranteed a "fundamental right" to abortion in the state.

What does that say about those that voted them in office? Or continue to support them?
Exactly what I was saying the other day, it's all about control. If these useless bastards really did care about the life of a child, they wouldn't constantly vote against funding for anything and everything that a child needs to grow into a healthy functioning and productive member of society.

I'm sure that's part of it.

I'm reminded of a George Carlin segment:
Transcript of George Carlin....
Why, why, why, why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't wanna fuck in the first place? Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you're just fine. Just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life... pro-life... These people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it? They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.
Transcript of George Carlin..
I found that clip here:
Why, why, why, why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't wanna fuck in the first place?
I remember it well, probably one of the funniest lines in history and oh so true.
I know this article states that women wouldn't be persecuted for getting an abortion, but I think there was a provision that would punish the woman with potential time in prison time? Gordy?
Pardon my language but, that's fucking sick.
I don't get the impression that this "legislation" was meant to be taken seriously, (hear me out), it's so outlandish that it will undoubtedly head for the SCOTUS, which exactly what they want. Do I think Roe V. Wade will be over turned? Possible, but unlikely. It's fairly rare, (almost unheard of), that the SCOTUS will over turn one of their own decisions.
If Roe V Wade is over turned? Republicans will take an epic beating in 2020 for their support of this whack job law.
Pardon my language but, that's fucking sick
Nothing to pardon. you are spot on!
I don't get the impression that this "legislation" was meant to be taken seriously,
I'm not so sure. This is Alabama after all.
it's so outlandish that it will undoubtedly head for the SCOTUS, which exactly what they want.
They even said they wanted abortion to go before the SCOTUS.
Do I think Roe V. Wade will be over turned? Possible, but unlikely. It's fairly rare, (almost unheard of), that the SCOTUS will over turn one of their own decisions.
I highly doubt it's likely. But consider: overturning Roe would mean the court has withdrawn a right that has previously been recognized. Never in the entire history of the court has a right been withdrawn once recognized. To do so would set a very dangerous precedent.
If Roe V Wade is over turned? Republicans will take an epic beating in 2020 for their support of this whack job law.
Not before they and their supporters give thunderous applause for the revocation of individual rights.
I'm not so sure. This is Alabama after all.
True. Some of my distant relatives are from Alabama... Promise you won't tell anyone, some of us did escape the shallow end of the gene pool.
They even said they wanted abortion to go before the SCOTUS.
It's a big issue, there are damn few, "on the fence" with regards to abortion and now that the Orange Menace has stacked the courts? Yep. I am firmly in the pro-choice crowd, (obviously).
To do so would set a very dangerous precedent.
Also true, and to a lesser degree, it would discredit the SCOTUS as a whole since over turning Roe V. Wade would be an obvious political decision.
Not before they and their supporters give thunderous applause for the revocation of individual rights.
Sadly, yes, and I REALLY hesitate to stray from the topic but we need to remember that these are the same people who cheered trump welcoming Oban into the WH, (and praising him).
Thanks for the article Gordy.
And you know damn well that these 25 asswipes would tell their mistresses to abort if they became pregnant
Not before they and their supporters give thunderous applause for the revocation of individual rights.
It has happened far more than you or I realize.
Obviously it will end up in federal court. I see no reason why district and circuit judges would do anything other than follow well-established Supreme Court precedent. There is no split of authority on this issue and it's not a new issue. So, assuming they take this to the Supreme Court, I kind of doubt the Court - even as it is currently populated - would grant certiorari unless Alabama has a novel argument they haven't considered before. Being conservative, I think most of the justices have more respect for precedent than the legislators of Alabama realize.
The tactic that is more likely to succeed are the various laws we see that aim to control or restrict abortion instead of banning it outright with no exceptions. Even then, they have to overcome the burden of not unduly burdening the person seeking an abortion.
Even Pat Robertson is like wtf.

Refining the Mountains and Rivers
Refining the Mountains and Rivers
Vast tracts of the mountain forest began to collapse inwards. The buildings on the ground were all destroyed as a terrifying energy wreaked havoc like a demonic dragon.
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
A black figure and a blood red figure shot out from the shattered earth, facing each other in the void. The air was so thick that it seemed solid.
The Demon Monarch's dreadful aura was like a great stone falling into a lake, stirring up endless heaven and earth spiritual energy that roared amidst howling winds.
All living beings within a thousand miles could feel this annihilating strength and revealed looks of panic.
Across from him, Qin Yu's complexion was pale white but his back remained tall and straight. The Five Element Swords hummed around him, their auras so sharp it seemed they could tear open the world.
At this time, the destruction below was still continuing. Looking from above, it was a massive pit that was widening without end, like a giant monster opening its gaping maw and swallowing up everything in the surroundings.
This was the result of their collision down below. It surpassed the limits of strength, causing the underground space to break down and resulting in this sight.
The Demon Monarch lifted his hand. Blood red light condensed in his palm and then a dazzling light erupted, like a blood sun had descended upon the world.
With a forward thrust, the blood sun arrived. It was an incomparably terrifying strength that was enough to destroy everything.
Qin Yu frowned. He stepped back and his figure instantly vanished.
At this time, the blood sun exploded. That rich blood red light pierced through the world in an instant.
"My eyes!"
Through Mulberry Sky Mountain, the small number of surviving demonic cultivators all fell to the ground. They cried in pain as they covered their eyes, blood flowing out between the seams of their fingers.
Space was pierced through. Black hole after black hole appeared and Qin Yu was forced out. He had no choice but to directly face this blood red light. His figure flew back, his face several degrees paler than before.
The Demon Monarch roared, "Qin Yu, you will die today!" He strode forwards like a human-shaped beast. Spiritual strength surged around him, seething like boiling water. He lifted a hand and pressed down, "Blood Demon Descent!"
The blood demon phantom appeared once more. Compared to before it was far more realistic, as if it were formed from true flesh and blood. It opened its mouth and cruelly roared. A rich pitch black light started to gather in its eyes. Then, at a mind-boggling speed, it finished.
Hu –
The beam of light shot out!
Qin Yu's heart raced. He looked up at the pitch black beam of light shooting towards him and his divine sense was pushed to the extreme. Then, that lightning fast strike became incomparably slow in his vision.
He lifted a hand and pointed a finger!
Winds and clouds were whipped into existence. They swept up the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy, rapidly fusing into the finger as it collided with the black beam.
In terms of power, this finger was far from being able to compare with the Demon Monarch's Blood Demon Descent in his current state. The moment they touched, the finger fiercely trembled and cracks covered its surface.
As Qin Yu pushed his divine sense to its limits, everything seemed to have slowed to an agonizing crawl. In addition, in the eyes of a bystander, the process of this collision occurred almost instantly as the finger directly collapsed.
But even though this finger collapsed at first strike, when it did break down, it dragged that pitch black beam down with it, both of them vanishing from sight.
Because this was the first of the Blue Fingers, Boundless Blue Finger.
A finger that perished with its enemy!
Unless the level of strength surpassed the limits of the Boundless Blue Finger and destroyed the will contained within it, then it was impossible to escape 'perishing together'.
The Demon Monarch revealed a flustered look. He didn't have any time left remaining. The only reason he didn't hesitate to step beyond redemption was all in order to ensure he killed Qin Yu today and vent the resentment in his heart. He raised both arms, his terrifying aura shooting up into the skies, straight to the heavens. Then, this clear and sunny day darkened and stars appeared up above.
Reverse yin and yang, stars appearing in the day!
When Qin Yu successfully cultivated his Demon Body, this scene had been witnessed once before. But today's reversal of yin and yang occurred because the Demon Monarch was using his transcendent cultivation to launch a sure-kill supernatural skill.
A demonic image appeared beneath the curtain of night. It was 1000 feet tall with a horn atop its head. Then, silvery light began to shine between those stars up above, as if a moon was sprinkling down its silvery brilliance. Like fluttering snow, that brilliance gathered downwards, condensing into a silver lance.
The lance was as thick as a tree. A distant perception locked onto Qin Yu, causing his heart to violently contract. A feeling of endless crisis rose within him. He was sure that the strength of this strike was enough to kill him!
Whoosh –
The demonic image shot out the lance. Wherever the lance passed, space disintegrated. Countless black cracks followed in its wake, like a giant mouth smiling wide without any scruples. It crossed through the horizon, carrying with it a destructive aura, as if nothing in this world could hope to compete with it.
Qin Yu didn't hesitate. He lifted a hand towards the silver lance and thrust a finger forward.
Within his dantian sea, the Five Element Nascent Souls that glowed with divine light suddenly darkened.
In his soul space, the light in his soul's eyes were nearly extinguished.
A transparent finger flew out to greet the lance. It was like water, the surface of it quietly trembling.
Even a gust of wind seemed to shake it, as if there wasn't anything formidable about it.
But this finger was the third of the Blue Fingers – Blue Sea!
In the blink of an eye, the Blue Sea Finger touched upon the silver lance. It fluctuated, and its main form that seemed as if it would break apart at any time suddenly emitted a rainbow-like brilliance.
Between the heavens and earth, wild winds whipped into existence. Some sort of invisible will descended upon the silver lance. The silver lance possessed an endlessly sharp strength and an impossibly prestigious energy, as if it could pierce through mountains and rivers. But beneath this will, it could only be melted away and extinguished.
Below the curtain of night, a severe light suddenly shined in the eyes of the demonic image, as if it were a puppet that had gained sentience. Then it lifted a hand. As its arm moved, inexhaustible waves rose up in the world. Immense spiritual strength from the surrounding hundred miles gathered along with this arm. The ancient forests around Mulberry Sky Mountain were all lifted up into the air where they were then crushed into powder.
Qin Yu's body was as stiff as iron. At this time, his body was suppressed by an invisible strength. Even with his current cultivation, he still wasn't able to move in the least. Within his dantian sea, the little blue lamp in his great dao base shined with a dim blue light, but he actually wasn't able to activate his space transmission.
It was like this entire world was locked down by that invisible strength!
However, before that demonic image could complete its arm movement, it froze in place. Then, as if it were formed from bubbles, it began to blow away.
The spiritual energy that was wildly gathered from the surrounding hundred miles was like a tsunami that had yet to take shape. That energy diverged, flooding outwards.
Even so, the impact strength of that collapsing spiritual strength could smash any Nascent Soul cultivator to bits!
Rumble rumble –
Half of the entire Mulberry Sky Mountain was destroyed by that collapsing spiritual strength. It was like a sword from the heavens had slashed down, eliminating half of the entire Demonic Path High Command.
The Demon Monarch's aura began to drop at a precipitous speed. That demonic image's final strike had exhausted the entirety of his strength; his life had reached its end. But, his eyes remained wide open, unwillingness flooding his dark eyes. Although he was destined to die here, he wanted to see Qin Yu's pitiful ending for himself.
If he faced the impact of this collapsing spiritual strength directly, then no matter how amazing his methods were, it would be difficult for him to escape this calamity unscathed.
Rumble rumble –
After demolishing the earth, the terrifying spiritual strength slowly scattered out and the land returned to serenity. The ancient trees were all turned dust that sprinkled downwards.
Then, a black armored figure gradually appeared.
The Demon Monarch's eyes popped open in surprise. The last rays of light in his eyes extinguished themselves.
The Demon Monarch had fallen!
Bang –
His body blew apart. Endless blood spewed out, turning into a 100 foot blood pond in the air. All of the blood that the Demon Monarch swallowed was released after his death.
Beneath his black armor, Qin Yu suddenly felt an extremely strong desire. After his body was severely wounded, it was simply impossible to resist that intense yearning.
Hu –
Black light flashed. Qin Yu submerged himself into that blood pond. The 100 foot blood pond immediately started to seethe in excitement!
You Qi flew in from the distance, a surprised expression on her face. "He actually managed to summon the will of a demonic path elder from the Land of Divinity and Demons. Luckily, the Demon Monarch had expended all of his strength already, otherwise even if Qin Yu had six arms and three legs, his soul and body would still have been erased beneath that attack."
As she rejoiced inwardly, there was still a bit of worry in her eyes. Qin Yu had managed to escape calamity today, but from that demonic image's final actions, it was clear that the demonic path elder had developed killing intent. It was hard to move such a character, but once they were moved, their thoughts wouldn't ever change.
Qin Yu hadn't even stepped into the Land of Divinity and Demons, but amongst the demonic path supreme elders, one of them had already decided to kill him. How could she not worry about this? Qin Yu was the one she had chosen after all…
You Qi sighed and suppressed these thoughts.
Qin Yu may have been born in this land of exiles, but he was the person with the greatest destiny she had ever seen in her entire life. In the Land of Sealed Demons, finding the bones of that earth demon beast was more than enough proof, and this blood pond only reinforced that. Although he didn't die today and although his Demon Body was strong, his injuries would be extremely heavy after being struck by that collapsing spiritual energy. But with the strength of this blood pond, recovering from his wound should be easy; his Demon Body would even profit from this. There was also a chance that he would obtain other harvests from the Demonic Path's inheritance demon blood.
If it weren't for this, how could she easily invest so much to refine the Demon God Armor for Qin Yu? He was the one she had chosen. Someone with such a great destiny had inherent good fortune and lucky chances. They wouldn't lose their life so easily!
Gurgle –
Gurgle –
The inheritance demon blood boiled up and giant bubbles formed. The rich smell of blood filled the air and wafted into the noses of demonic path cultivators. To them, this was the most mesmerizing scent in the world.
From the half of Mulberry Sky Mountain that was left intact, the surviving demonic cultivators all revealed burning hot gazes. In particular, the nine demonically transformed Nascent Souls. Indecision appeared on their faces, gradually followed by cruelty.
The demonic transformation had been interrupted, but their foundations had been injured; it was inevitable that their cultivations would drastically fall. What was even more terrifying was that there wouldn't be any chance of them ever advancing again in the future.
But now, right in front of them, was a chance for them to repair their foundation and even step beyond that.
Inheritance demon blood!
As Nascent Souls, they were all high level characters within the Demonic Path High Command, so they naturally knew of its effects. All previous Demon Monarchs died in meditation within, and their cultivation and supernatural skills all remained in that demon blood.
Qin Yu was extremely fierce, so strong that he outstripped all expectations. But, the last strike of the Demon Monarch's summoned demonic image was truly heaven-shaking. Qin Yu was absolutely severely wounded. The nine great demonic path Nascent Souls were absolutely sure of this.
Then…why not!
You Qi's eyes flashed. She swept her gaze around. "You should all consider this clearly. Qin Yu has agreed to spare you from death, but that opportunity only comes once."
The demonic path Nascent Souls hesitated.
"Humph! Qin Yu cannot even defend himself; how can he possibly deal with us?" A demonic path Nascent Soul coldly responded. "If we don't attack now, we will regret this for the rest of our lives!"
"That's right, this is a heaven-sent opportunity. It would be a sin to not take it!"
"Kill Qin Yu! Take revenge for the dead cultivators of my Demonic Path!"
Bang –
Bang –
Nine demonic path Nascent Souls flew into the air. They kept their eyes glued to the blood pond, greed in their faces.
You Qi's eyes flashed with mocking disdain. Since these people wanted to die, why stop them?
Just as this demonic path Nascent Soul spoke, he froze in place. In the next moment, awareness fled from his eyes.
Bang –
He crashed to the ground.
The other eight demonic path Nascent Souls all paled. Without any hesitation, they turned and fled.
"Since you have all decided to abandon my forgiveness, then you can join your companion in hell." An icy cold voice rose up from the blood bond.
Bang –
Bang –
Scream followed by scream. Then, the last person died in fear.
After today, there were no more Nascent Souls at the Demonic Path High Command, Mulberry Sky Mountain!

Dubbo's Air Link launches Bourke, Walgett, Lightning Ridge flights
Western NSW communities are celebrating the start of new direct flights to Dubbo, cutting hours of travel time and reducing isolation.
Air Link flew into Bourke on Monday and touched down in Walgett and Lightning Ridge on Tuesday.
It marked the start of the first regular passenger flights to the western NSW ports in more than a decade, achieved through an agreement between the NSW government and the Far North West Joint Organisation (FNWJO).

The government is stumping up $8 million to ensure the sustainability of the new routes, which also includes direct flights between Cobar and Sydney, and Cobar and Dubbo, operated by FlyPelican.
Bourke mayor Barry Holman said the town had been without a regular air service for about 12 years, "so to get it up and running yesterday was really exciting".
He hosted a ceremony, attended by local residents and NSW ministers in town for the Community Cabinet event.
Like I said in my speech yesterday, it opens Bourke up to the world, and it opens the world up to Bourke.Cr Barry Holman
"Like I said in my speech yesterday, it opens Bourke up to the world, and it opens the world up to Bourke," he told the Daily Liberal on Tuesday.
"It just changes things immensely now.
"You can fly from Bourke to Dubbo in an hour and in another hour you're in Sydney.
"That's unbelievable."
Cr Holman said the three member councils of the FNWJO hoped the transport link would encourage professional people to come out to their towns.
"When you've got an air service, professional people can come in for the week, fly away for the weekend, and fly back in on the Monday and start doing the work again.
"So we're excited by it and we just hope it will extend way beyond the four years we've got funding for."
Cr Holman encouraged the people of the shire, who are eligible for a "community fare" to embrace the service.
He praised Deputy Premier John Barilaro for his support of the service, and the Dubbo-based airline for operating the connection.
Air Link general manager Ron O'Brien said it had been a great launch day at Bourke.
"We had several passengers on our departure from Dubbo yesterday morning, including one of the ministers travelling out to Bourke for the cabinet meeting," he said.
"The arrival at Bourke was on time, and a nice reception for a couple the townsfolk when we came in."
With the Community Cabinet and a number of events on at Bourke, there had been a "big buzz" in town on Monday and that had flowed into Air Link's departure in the afternoon, Mr O'Brien said.
"We got a lovely ceremony hosted by the mayor, Barry Holman, and the Minister for Western NSW Adam Marshall had some kind words to say about Air Link and the services," he said.
"It was a lovely time, and again we had a full ship out of Bourke back to Dubbo again.
"So very encouraging signs, Bourke has been waiting a long time for an air service again and there's certainly a lot of enthusiasm within the community and we're encouraged by that, and I think it will be a bit of a goer."

Murray Kinsella reports from Wellington
STEVE HANSEN COULD have gone down the route of openly criticising refereeing decisions and bemoaning the red card for Sonny Bill Williams in the first half, but the All Blacks head coach instead went for the gracious response to defeat.
His reaction very much reflected that of his players, led by impressive captain Kieran Read, who was quick to congratulate the Lions at the final whistle in Wellington.
When he settled in for his post-match press conference, Hansen was asked about his view of the Williams red for hammering a shoulder into Anthony Watson's head in the first half.
"The red card was a red card – if the ref says it's a red card, you don't have any say in it," answered Hansen. "It was one of those ones that could have been a yellow or a red, but he chose it to be a red, so you just have to live with it.
"There's no point whining about it, Sonny didn't use his arms so he put himself at risk, and unfortunately he collected young Anthony's head and put him at risk. You don't want that and the referee deemed it a red card, so off you go boy.
"I don't want to make any comment about Jerome Garces, it's just media stuff and we're not going into that.
"What we should be getting excited about is that it's 1-1 and the Lions tonight played well and won the game and we're going to Auckland to try and win it and they're going to Auckland to try and win it."
Hansen's apparent excitement was shared by his playing squad and though they would obviously rather have wrapped up the series at Westpac Stadium, there was respect for the Lions' gritty win.
Back row Jerome Kaino paid a heavier price than the rest of his team-mates for Williams' red card, being replaced by debutant Ngani Laumape as Hansen looked to retain a full backline, and watching on from the sidelines he saw a big improvement in the tourists.
"I thought they brought a lot of edge and physicality in their defence," said Kaino. "Their kicking game was good, but I take my hat off to our boys.
"We had our chances and we could have taken that game, but also the Lions played well and you saw the two tries that they scored – it was through some great attacking play.
"We didn't start that well, I thought the Lions really brought that physicality in the first half and also the composure in the last five minutes, we could have kept our heads a bit more. But I have to give credit where credit's due and the Lions played well.
"I think they learned from their frailties last week and I thought they definitely brought some edge to their physicality tonight. It's game on and it's exciting heading into next week."
Another issue in the All Blacks' defeat were three missed kicks at goal from out-half Beauden Barrett, including one from almost directly in front of the posts in the second half.
Those nine missed points proved to be costly, but Hansen played down Barrett's off night from the tee.
"I'm not worried about his goal-kicking at all," said Hansen. "Games are won and lost with goal-kicking, but they are also won by players doing a job from one to 23 and tonight the Lions did their job better than we did.
"He kicked 100% last time out [in the first Test], so no, I'm not concerned."
And despite a few more potentially controversial questions coming in before the end of the press conference, Hansen refused to bite.
Publicly at least, he's not going to incite the Lions any further and he's keen for the rugby to do the talking in the final week of this fascinating Test series.
"Losing sucks, and that's whether you've got 15, 25 or two players, it sucks," said Hansen. "It was our turn to take it on the chin.
"It's all very well being good and gracious winners, but we've got to do the same when we're beaten. So we've got to prepare better, work harder and come out to try to win the series next week."
