Living Triggered
"You'll never shine throwing shade"
So here's the thing. Pray and hope all you like to be a more patient, loving person, but you're always going to be patient in theory until your wifi slows down or your suppliers don't respond to emails, or people at pop-ups make snap (mostly entitled or misinformed) judgments, or things just simply don't go your way.
Patience and lovingkindness need loads of hands-on, real-time practice, especially for someone like me who wants it all. But I don't just want it all, I wanted it yesterday, and therein lies the tension.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to be living in Singapore: land of efficiency, home that I love. But this season, more than ever, I find myself stretched on the patience front in interactions with others but mostly, myself.
It's like patience is the pigeon pose. And every time I think I've got it, that I'm feeling a nice stretch, the teacher (patience) comes around and pushes you deeper and deeper into that posture.
All this circles back to grace. The grace you extend to others when things aren't going your way, and the grace you give yourself when you're messing up so royally.
And I'm learning in this season to also live less triggered. Saw a shady post online? Trying to move past it. Overhead a dodgy statement? Breathing through it. Felt like someone you were generous to is just being plain calculative? Trying to find a middle ground. Whatever it is: the goal is to react less. Not all opinions need to be verbalised or expressed.
Even on a cellular level, we know that stress hormone, cortisol, is the body's persona non grata over prolonged amounts of time. It has your body in a gridlocked flight-or-fight mode. It makes you edgy, creates inflammation in the body, influences weight gain and a whole bunch of non-helpful things. I realised every time I give into these triggers, I see these manifest in my body. A frozen hip here, an eczema flare up there.
I guess it's about recognising how you're feeling in that moment. Acknowledging that it sucks and then deciding one of several things:
a) Save your fucks. This issue won't matter in a year and it doesn't warrant a response. I generally recommend saving your fucks for big things that matter – the environment, equality, female empowerment, not stealing other people's creative work & passing it off as your next brainwave, not doing or accepting dervative work. That sort of thing
b) You need to respond but not before taking time to really process your next move. Pause, and think about how your reacting is going to play out 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 years from now. Pause so that you can regroup and be really intentional with your words. Mostly so you don't 'rain down fucks' on someone as Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck puts it, but also so that you don't unnecessarily burn any bridges in the heat of anger, as I've learned before. (My lessons are expensive)
c) trying to find a conciliatory middle ground and seeing how grace can be extended
So here's what I've begun doing since late last year with varying degrees of success: I see you and your shadiness, your attempt to hurt because you are hurt or insecure, and possibly envious (though you don't know it just yet—because see, what haters do, is hate on you, then copy), and simply, look away without judgement.
In the immortal words of Coco Chanel, "I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all."
I focus my joy and the light of my being, and give myself to what really matters. I diffuse. I move on. You're not living rent free in here *places hand on head and over heart simultaneously*
Hypothalamus, you can relax. Tell all your other friends: the adrenals, the limbic system and the like that you are safe and not under threat. You are whole. Nothing is going to get you down.
And remember, you'll never shine throwing shade. And impatience with yourself or a situation, is not going to get you to where you want to be any faster.
Hasta Felicia.
Living Loved
We sat in a cafe talking about our year. Me, a nobody with a little label. My friend, the founder of a multi-million dollar beauty brand gone global. On the outside, we don't have that much in common. But we do share the same faith and are guided by common values.
When I asked how 2017 had gone for her, she didn't hold back on both the good and the bad.
The encounter was brief, but I feel that hearing her story and sharing a bit of mine, was the most healing thing that had happened in the past few months.
The same feeling of relief washed over me when I read Lisa Bevere's Without Rival just days earlier. A book about embracing 'your identity and purpose in an age of confusion and comparison', I found Bevere's honest and broken revelations incredibly reassuring and empowering.
The fact that she openly and in such a gutsy way, shared her life's challenges – right down the most intimate of details – made me realise I'd never get anywhere or help anyone if I continued to life and operate in the same paradigm as I am. You know…. Keeping people at arm's length (because you never know when they're going to cut you off or use you). Never telling my story (because they're going to judge you). Generally, not wanting to rely on others (because they're going to let you down). And that whole thing of pitting and comparing yourself to others (why bother, you suck anyway).
A few days ago, I was riding home in an Uber when I heard a little voice in my heart tell me, "Just drop it."
It was such a voice of peace and security, not one of fear, desperation or exhaustion. Just drop it.
It being all that you would have read in the previous handwritten post.
Where my word for the past several years would have been 'escape' and all the connotations that come with it, I no longer want to escape. I want to live free, untethered, un-weighed down by all the toxic feelings and situations I/we tend to want to take responsibility for.
So done with that.
In 2018, I'm inviting more balance and lightness into my life. In the words of Lysa TerKeurst in Uninvited to 'live loved'. That is to say, operating with grace, being ok with who you are (and being unafraid to show it), remembering that you're not forgotten or left out, and to see things as falling in place (instead of merely falling apart). x
Glowing Up
Can you read my writing?
The phone works both ways Never let yourself be guilted or manipulated by people who take and never give, only to play victim when you walk away from their toxic game. As a mentor of mine rhetorically questions, why are we nicer to people who mistreat us?
Just show up Whether it's for a one month year old's party, a friend's engagement brunch, a wake or a wedding, success in maintaining life's relationships pretty much boils down to just showing up, I think. You may not have the right things to say. You may be internally griping that you're wasting a perfectly good Saturday morning, or that you'd much rather be in bed. And you can forget worrying about bringing the perfect gift. I learned while looking around me at our weddings, that all that matters is the people in the room with you. Whatever they were feeling that day, they chose to be there for you when they didn't have to. And if you can't make it, for goodness sake, send a card and flowers, would you?
It's all going to come out anyway You might as well just be your real, fatally flawed, deeply feeling self from the start. The truth is going to scare who it needs to scare and ultimately, attract the people who are really unafraid to love you as you are.
What did you learn this year?

To maintain optimum water temperature and pressure, descale your machine every 2-3 months. Regular descaling helps prevent 70% of common malfunctions. If cycles are missed for several months, then extra descaling is recommended. One descaling cycle cannot eliminate sediment accumulated over a long period of time. Furthermore, make sure to descale the espresso side of the machine, as well. Switch machine into pre-ground mode to complete descaling of espresso side. Automated electronic descaling does not clean the espresso side of the machine. Cleancaf, Cafiza, Joe Glow, Brew Rite and Pulycaff are sold as "Descaler;" however, these products consist mostly of Baking Soda, which is ineffective for removing sediment.

Ceredigion County Council has become one of the first Councils in Wales to adopt a policy to tackle modern slavery. The Anti-Slavery Policy was approved in a Full Council meeting on 7 December.
It was also decided an Annual Statement that states whether slavery and human trafficking is taking place in the County Council's supply chain will be published. Following the adoption of the policy, Councillor Lyndon Lloyd MBE was appointed as the Anti-Slavery and Ethical Employment Champion.
The newly appointed Anti-Slavery and Ethical Employment Champion, Councillor Lyndon Lloyd MBE said, "Modern slavery is a terrible crime where criminals prey upon vulnerable people including children, with victims from the UK and abroad. By adopting the Anti-Slavery Policy, the Council has set out its commitments to tackle modern slavery and to provide support for potential victims."
Modern Slavery involves the movement, coercion and exploitation of vulnerable adults and children. Types of exploitation include labour exploitation, sexual exploitation, criminal exploitation, domestic servitude and organ harvesting. In 2016, there were 123 potential victims of modern slavery reported in Wales. 17% of those reported were children. It is estimated that there could be 10,000 to 13,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK.

I got to spend some time with my family today. Brining cherish and joy into my life. Previously when the family have come round for dinner I'm off doing something else or stay in my room. I didn't do that today.
My mum and I were able to have a mini shopping trip to the local retail centre. Spending mother/daughter time is not something we're able to do as regular now. Busy lives and all that. Considering we live in the same house right now, I feel that is very poor.
After our time together, my grandparents came to dinner. Usually the time I go hide. But I stayed and became apart of the evening. Due to working this evening there were a few odd jobs I needed to do to get ready.
Other than that, and with my phone up in my room, I was with them until I left for work.
I need to do that more especially since I've missed my friends birthday celebrations due to working. I need to make the most of every opportunity I get to spend time with those I love. I can't cherish and joy my life without them. They're a big part of me.

The latest is a girl who went missing for 18 years. I cannot believe that anyone would have stayed hidden in adulthood without evidence of Stockholm syndrome, particularly likely when ones captor is also the father of one's children. There would have been opportunities to go but clearly she chose not to.
More curiously, exactly how hidden can something be for just about everyone to avoid it for 18 years? A young woman and two children living in a series of tents in a back garden, and absolutely nobody noticed? What does this say about extreme privatisation of life?

When I moved to Dallas I had an office job while transitioning to become a licensed esthetician in Texas. I experienced anxiety over hating where my professional life [albeit temporary] had evolved, exacerbated by a tight budget. No longer able to afford my Sephora habit I became inventive in attaining my regimen. Even on a bare salary I refused to use drug store brands… there was no going back. I'm a product snob, sue me.
Here are my beauty hacks to support your beauty addiction on 20K.
Birchbox was just a startup and at $10/month a justifiable beauty treat. I received products to fill voids of need while getting to try new items as well. It was a win-win! When you're watching every penny, but still want to feel pretty, you get creative. Find something that works for you and treat yo' self. Birchbox and self- mani's were my go to.
Beauty Hack #1
SELL YOUR SAMPLES. After awhile I collected TONS of Birchbox samples plus samples I received from Sephora, Nordstrom, etc. Most of the time I received products I knew I wouldn't buy later, why waste the sample? Sell it! I collected for a while and sold everything on eBay, turning around and buying something I needed.
Beauty Hack #2
Contests + Giveaways. Brands are HUGE on social media for contests and giveaways –especially in December. Follow brands you love on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, everywhere. In the past I won: a plane ticket from Orbitz, iS Clinical skincare, Birchbox giveaways, a Stylemint top, Zoya Polish…. the list can go on. If I won something I didn't want I'd turn around and sell it! I spent my free time during the work day hunting for contests instead of Facebook stalking old classmates.
On Twitter search common hashtags or create a list [example: #giveaway] to find even more.
On Facebook check out a brands page, click on "more", and look for current promotions. You can even create an interest list and add pages, one feed to watch all your giveaway stalking.
Another good one to keep on your radar is Allure's August Free-Stuff Giveaway. The link will take you to 2015, but you can see the goods and they're awesome prizes. The trick is to have the entry form opened in a new window, pre-filled, and watch the clock on time.gov. I've had great success using this tip from a friend!
Beauty Hack #3
Stacking Coupons. Forget clipping IRL when you can stack deals online. Ebates partners with retailers giving you a percentage back on your purchases that can be stacked with coupon codes. Don't know if a coupon exists? Google search the site [example: dermstore.com coupons]. I do this before ANY online buy. Take it one step further by shopping for discounted gift cards on giftcardgranny.com. If you have a rewards credit card with a shopping portal use that as well. Just remember to pay your balance at the end of the month so your penny-pinching efforts aren't for nothing. It may seem minuscule, but it all adds up over time!
Beauty Hack #4
Online Shopping…. You can search for items through Google and sometimes find deals. Results may include items on Amazon or eBay so watch out for fakes. Research the sellers before buying! Read their reviews, analyze their feedback score. Check the sellers return policy. If the seller isn't part of Amazon Prime I would avoid them altogether. One way to avoid purchasing fake product is buying sample sizes on eBay. It may save money to buy a deluxe sample instead of full-size product. Or if you can't justify $40 on a product you'll hardly use purchasing an $8 deluxe size sample may make more sense!

"They know monthly what is going on. They know everything about the business, my personal finances, and my relationships with employees. There is nothing that I hide from them. They are helping with full estate planning and business acquisition. They helped me leverage the numbers in the acquisition and helped in negotiating the cost of the business. They have enabled me to get the financing in place and the right ROI on the purchase price, including how to deal with it. They will climb any mountain I ask them to climb.

To quote The Clash:
This indecision is bugging me.
It's been a very long while since I last posted on my blog. Lately I have been giving a lot of thought to the state of my writing. My greatest difficulty is deciding what to write and sticking to it.
I am standing at a crossroads and I honestly don't know which direction to take.
I have several stories in varying states of progress. The ones that I keep obsessing over are the following:
Fantasy: The Beggar's Wife
Paranormal Fantasy: Spell On You
I know I need to just choose one but which?
I'm tempted to just to write these titles on little pieces of paper, put them in a hat, and focus on which ever one I randomly pull out. I think that's what I will do for Nanowrimo.

As we enter the final episode of One Punch Man, there is this urge to reflect back on what brought us to this point, and just how well the entire series has been laid out. Part of me wants to give huge praise to Madhouse, but really, the credit belongs mostly to ONE, who crafted this insane tale of a hero who can defeat any enemy with a single punch.
Of course, those kinds of thoughts will have to wait, as I am planning a series recap post for next week. I don't want to get ahead of myself on things, but I do feel it is only fair to give credit where it is due. This story, it's freaking awesome, and ONE is a master storyteller.
Credit also goes to Yusuke Murata, who pretty much defined the look of OPM. From what little I've seen of the original webcomic, the art was rough, so Murata coming aboard really helped flesh out the style that would end up carrying into the anime.
Which just means that the ultimate collaboration of ONE, Murata, and Madhouse is the gift that keeps on giving. Any fan of superhero comics, shonen manga, and anime as a whole should be thankful for having OPM brought about the way it was.
Especially with this finale. It is so over the top, so insane, and so perfect that it's kind of crazy. A fitting place to end the series if ever there was one. While I unabashedly hope that there will be a second season in the near future, for now, the OPM anime has hit a high mark, and can bow out with all the mad awesomeness that it deserves.
With all that said, lets dive into the final episode of One Punch Man.
We pick up exactly where we left off, with a now powered up version of Boros throwing down with Saitama. What's interesting about this part of the battle is that Saitama isn't really trying to do anything but block Boros, and is doing it with one arm, even though Boros is throwing everything he has at Saitama with both fists.
He does finally manage to push Saitama back, but in yet another display of how absurdly awesome he is, Saitama just quickly walks backward, forcing Boros to chase him. The entire thing is a subtle, crazy nod at just how insanely powerful Saitama really is. It gets unsubtle pretty quick, though, when Saitama does decide to throw a punch, taking off Boros' arm.
Boros manages to hide just how surprised he is, but not well. I bet this guy sucks at poker. He does, however, take a moment to admit that, though he has unleashed his full power, Saitama is managing to keep up with him, prompting Saitama, in typical fashion, to admit that Boros is pretty strong, as well.
This little exchange actually matters a bit later in the episode, but for now, let me again say that there's an element to this show that I have always enjoyed. That the villains are often pretty respectful of Saitama, much more so than the heroes. It's an odd touch, but one I've greatly enjoyed, as the people he is often at odds with are the only ones, besides Genos, who seem to both acknowledge and respect Saitama's strength.
While that's happening, the show takes a moment to turn its attention back to the events on the ground, as Tank Top Master, who we've seen nothing of since this whole thing started, decides he should get involved.
Thanks, dude. I'm sure the whole world is grateful that you've finally managed to decide to actually do something. It's no wonder the whole Tank Top themed gang is such a bunch of dipshits.
As it turns out, the main reason he's doing anything is because, despite Tornado being Rank 2 of Class S, he doesn't feel he can leave everything to one little girl. While I'm sure that in his mind, he's being noble or something, let me say two things here. First, what a sexist jackass. I mean, seriously. One little girl? Dude, what the fuck? Because, two, have you seen what that "little girl" can do? She dropped a god damn meteor on Godzilla, and didn't even break a sweat doing it!
Completely blind to his own ingrained sexism, Tank Top Master picks up a gigantic piece of rubble with on hand, and throws it at the alien spaceship. Now, I will give him his due here. That was impressive. The guy clearly has superhuman strength. He's no Saitama, but he is strong on a level that surpasses human limitations.
As if to answer me calling him out on his sexist remark, Torando shows up and uses literally everything in the area to lay siege to the ship. She even tells him to scram before using her telekinesis to hurl buildings, entire sections of roadway, and pretty every thing in the area. All Tank Top Master can do is fumble his way to safety, admitting he can't compare.
I won't lie. I laughed. Because Tornado is epic.
Speaking of epic, her entire scene here is just amazing. She's just calm as fuck as she levies an endless barrage of debris at the alien ship, never letting up, and sending the surviving aliens into a panic as they begin to realize they fucked with the wrong planet.
Oh, and it turns out that Fred Fredburger is still alive, and still wants to go home. I can't say I blame him. Honestly, between Tornado and Saitama, these guys are so totally fucked, it isn't even funny.
Even Genos gets it, as he watches with Child Emperor. At least, until Drive Knight wanders up to let Genos know he has errands to run, so he's taking off. Apparently, several Class S heroes decided this fight for the future of humanity was just too droll and have checked out.
Wow. Seriously? Alien spaceship levels City A and you guys just shrug and leave? Man. Fuck you guys.
Before he takes off to pick up his groceries or whatever, Drive Knight does let Genos know he should avoid Metal Knight, as the two are now "enemies". Just what he means by that is unclear, but it was nice of him to let Genos know. You know, before he left to play bingo or whatever.
Meanwhile, the battle with Headsup continued, though I guess I should start calling him Headup, if ya know what I mean. (In my defense, that was hilariously funny in my head.)
He's still trying to pop past Atomic Samurai's sword and squeeze his head, a feat that is obviously easier said than done. Despite the fact that Triple P's junk is being cleverly hidden by a fallen piece of pipe, much as Saitama's was way back during the battle with Mosquito Girl, Headsup is totally focused on Atomic Samurai, and still failing to get anywhere. Personally, I give him credit for that, as I'm sure Triple P's junk is pretty amazing to behold.
Just as Headsup begins to believe victory is within grasp, Bang returns, to my eternal joy. Seriously, this old man, I adore him. Just as Tank top Master was schooled on thinking women the weaker sex, Bang is proof that age isn't a limit to being awesome. To put an exclamation point on the matter, he calmly states the stiffness in his shoulder is gone.
This guy. He's too cool for words.
Headsup has a brief moment to be shocked that Bang isn't dead, and that's all Atomic Samurai needs to unleash his special Atomic Slash move, turning Headsup into confetti. He calls it insolence, and starts to reform, but Bang just straight smooth walks up, pointing out that while he moves his marble around his body to keep it hidden, his regeneration always starts with his head. Adding that even a monkey could figure this shit out, he punches through the half formed head to grab the marble and shatter it, putting an end to Headsup.
The entire battle with Headsup was just amazing to me. Sure, Saitama might could have one punched Headsup, but then again, he might not could have. Dude had five of those marbles, which means Saitama still would have had to break them all, and I have no doubt he could have, but that is beside the point. This battle was to show the skill, power, and tenacity of these Class S heroes, and in that, it is a total success.
Saitama is not the only superhuman in the world. He's the pinnacle, to be sure, but far from the only one. Every one of these people, especially Tornado, deserve the ranking they have. They are all heroes, and they are all superhuman.
My only real complaint is that Genos sits this entire fight out. He does not do a single, blessed thing, and that's a shame, because we all know he's fucking amazing. Still, from a writing standpoint, giving all of these characters a moment to shine was executed brilliantly, and I loved it.
Knight Man is in awe, even as Atomic Samurai jokingly accuses Bang of stealing the glory. For his part, Bang thinks he needs to do more full body workouts, while Triple P celebrates their victory. Metal Bat, however, points out that the ship is still there, and they all look up to take in the wide spread carnage that is Tornado's ongoing assault.
Meanwhile, Mumen Rider, Stinger, and Lightening Max are rounding up the last of the survivors and taking them to safety. As the other two escort the survivor to the armored tuck, Mumen pauses to take in the ship, before joining them. It's done so very subtly, but it speaks volumes to the way heroes of every class can play a role in a disaster of this level. While Saitama is fighting Boros, Tornado is trying to destroy the ship, and the other Class S heroes were preventing Headsup from killing any survivors, the others were rescuing those same survivors, something they could only do because Headsup was too busy fighting the Class S group.
It's a nice touch, this idea that even those without powers they are heroes. To the people they saved, I'm certain Mumen Rider, Stinger, and Lightening Max are the real heroes of the day. Despite being more or less ordinary people, they acted heroically, and that matters.
All of this happens in the first five minutes, by the way, which is a real feat of storytelling that has me a bit in awe, and more than a little envious. It's masterful writing, of the kind I hope to be capable of myself someday.
For some years, I've tinkered with an anime inspired four book series, and it's watching stuff like this that helps me find better, stronger ways of telling that story. Maybe one of these days, I'll be able to do justice to the medium I love so much.
With all the other subplots more or less resolved, we rejoin Saitama as a more kickass, high energy version of the shows opening theme song kicks in. Well, it seemed that way to me, anyway. It may have been the same as always, but combined with the imagery of Saitama and Boros fighting, it felt like a more kick ass version.
And rightfully so. Everything about this is just mindblowing to behold. I could screencap the whole fight, and I doubt it would do it justice as Saitama and Boros throw down. It is, without a doubt, a benchmark in terms of animating fight scenes.
On a side note, I had more screencaps for this episode than I could reasonably use. This whole episode was so OP with screencapable moments.
Hush you. Screencapable is so a word.
Boros throws a few hundred punches, which Saitama blocks. Boros looks eager. Saitama looks bored. Boros punches Saitama through half the ship, then delivers a drop kick that even the WWE would cringe at. Saitama shrugs it off, and the two fight all the way up to the top of the ship.
Boros compliments Saitama on being strong, even telling him that none of the other powerful beings he fought in the past survived this long. Saitama says nothing, just giving that same bored stare. Boros unleashes the full might of his destructive power into a blue fireball looking thing, without shouting HADOKEN first, I'm sad to say. Instead, he tells Saitama that anything caught in it would find even their bones vaporized.
It's a pretty impressive attack, as it sets the entire top of the ship on fire. Saitama, however, is unfazed, and still bored. Boros gets behind him and punches him so hard the wind from his blow puts out the entire fire atop the ship. He manages to move Saitama's head slightly, as well, which is actually really impressive, if you recall that when the Deep Sea King did the same thing, Saitama didn't even flinch.
Thinking he has Saitama on the ropes, Boros tells him that while he is strong, the outcome of this battle was always clear. And then he starts monologuing. For real. He just straight up starts monologuing, because when you think that you have all but beaten your opponent, the thing to do is give them time to catch their breath while you natter on.
He goes on a bit about how his species won the fight for survival on their harsh homeworld, gaining incredible regenerative abilities, and he's the best of them all. To prove it, he regrows the arm Saitama punched off, something he points out Saitama could never manage, since he'll just grow more injured and exhausted.
As he's about to launch into even more monologuing, Saitama tells him to shut up. Boros is surprised for a moment as Saitama asks him if he's done with all this, but only after throwing in my all time favorite use of the classic "Blah, blah, blah." It's freaking beautiful.
Boros admits he isn't done and goes all Dragonball Z again, unleashing his special move, Meteoric Burst, punching Saitama so hard that for a moment, Saitama actually looks a bit surprised. It also sends him flying, and incinerates a huge part of the ship, along with any aliens unfortunate enough to be caught in the wake of it.
Capitalizing on his momentum, Boros goes nuts with punching Saitama, telling him all about how his power works was he does. Seems he has surpassed any limitation, and after knocking Saitama into the air, kicks him so hard that Boros digivolves into Ralph Cramdon.
Bang. Zoom. To the moon!
Seriously. The next thing Saitama knows, he's on the freaking moon. Say what you want, that's one hell of a kick.
For his part, Saitama actually manages to seem a bit nonplussed about this. He takes a moment to survey his situation, realizes he should be holding his breath, then pinches his nose just as an extra layer of precaution. Grabbing a rock, he measures the gravity, nods, and prepares to jump. From the moon.
Ya know, I've gotten use to Saitama being absurd in terms of power, but this is a whole new level. Mostly because, he does it. He literally jumps from the moon, leaving a fucking crater behind that covers almost the entire half of the moon that faces the Earth, and lands on the alien ship.
I can't even. I'll never be able to even again. Most likely, all my even was used up on that single move. I mean, just look at this crazy shit!
While Saitama is having his moonwalk fun, making Buzz Aldrin point in outrage, Boros is letting the viewers know that going full out like this is bad for his health. Apparently, it shortens his life, and is only meant as a trump card to end fights quickly. Sadly for him, Saitama returns at that point, hitting the ship so hard it begins to list.
That all it did was list a bit was a testament to how well the ship was built. Obviously the aliens didn't outsource the construction to China. Say what you will about them, that's something.
Down on the ground, Superalloy Blackluster, who has been conveniently absent during all the real fighting, tells Tornado she's doing it, thinking the ship listing is a result of her onslaught. Tornado, however, clearly knows that isn't the case, and seems curious as to what the hell just happened, seeing as how all the action between Saitama and Boros is atop the ship, and as such out of everyone else's sight.
Atop the ship, Saitama steps up out of the crater, casually commenting that he made it, while looking slightly surprised, and pleased with himself. Boros, however, looks like he could be knocked over with a feather, and honestly, I don't blame him. What Saitama just pulled off is too absurd for even an alien demigod to quite believe.
He gets over being surprised pretty quick, and turns to overjoyed. Saitama makes him want to go all out, meaning that until now, he hasn't been. Hurling himself at Saitama, he attempts to do so, but gets punched in the gut for his efforts. After being hurled half the length of the ship, he manages to stop himself, but is clearly hurt, though, surprisingly, not dead.
Saitama could not one punch Boros. If ever there was a testament to how powerful Boros is, that's it. Pulling himself up, he seems to be even more overjoyed that Saitama is finally starting to fight back seriously, going so far as to call him an opponent worth defeating.
Saitama doesn't have time to chat, though, and unleashes his Consecutive Normal Punch move. We've seen it before, when he fought the lion guy waaaay back. As there, so here. Boros is turned into a red mist, as the shockwaves from Saitama's flurry of blows obliterates parts of the ship, and even leaves craters in the ground beyond, due to the ship listing so heavily.
A small part of Boros survived, however, his eye to be exact, and it looks pretty shocked. It's enough for him to pull himself back together in much the way Headsup did, though a lot faster. Once he gets his shattered body back in one piece, he declares that he will defeat Saitama, by unleashing all of his energy in one mega move, incinerating both Saitama and the entire planet.
Overkill, Boros. This is the actual definition of it.
Using a move called Collapsing Star Roaring Canon, which actually sounds super badass, he unleashes an even bigger Hadoken than before. Seeing this, Satiama decides he will use his final move as well, and I'm just going what the fuck? Saitama has a finishing move? Why? He one punches everything! What kind of a finishing move could he even have?
Killer Move: Serious Series Serious Punch, that's what.
Serious Punch. You're trolling me now, aren't you Saitama? You, of all people, have a serious punch? I take back what I said before. I still had even to can't. It's gone now, though. I'll never be able to even again. Ever.
Saitama throws his Serious Punch, the force of which shatters the ships power crystal, and… well… just look at it! I mean, Jesus bicycling Christ! Look! At! It!
In the aftermath, a severely devastated Boros realizes that he lost the battle. For his part, Saitama is surprised he is even still conscious, and I don't blame him. I can't imagine that after one punching everything ever, he expected anyone, anywhere, to still be alive after he gave a serious punch.
Which is when we get another of the many fascinating facets of Saitama. He compliments Boros for being strong. Boros thinks that it is the prophecy holding true, that he would meet his match on this world. He calls the battle hard fought, and Saitama agrees that it was.
Boros realizes though, that for Saitama it really wasn't. At no point did Saitama ever really go full out. He never had too. Boros realizes that the prophecy was a load of crap, because for Saitama, this wasn't even a fight. Saitama knows it, as well, but as Boros lays dying, Saitama tried to give him the dignity of thinking that it had been a hard battle for him.
That Saitama would do that, speaks volumes of his character. Sure, Boros was his enemy, destroyed City A, caused countless people to die, and would have destroyed the entire planet, but in a way, Saitama understands. Like him, Boros just wanted a decent fight, a challenge that made him feel alive.
It calls back to the first episode, where Saitama had the dream of fighting the Subterrans. That sensation of not knowing if he could win, that feeling of being truly alive, fighting a foe that was worthy of absurd strength. As I said last week, Boros is the opposite side of the coin to Saitama, and Saitama himself seems aware of this, as in the final moments, he tried his best to let Boros feel as if his life, and his death, had held meaning.
For Saitama, however, that desire to find a worthy opponent continues. Perhaps that is why he did it, rather than boosting. Because he understands, and feels compassion for a kindred spirit. In the end, it makes me respect him even more, for at heart, Saitama is a truly good person.
With the power sphere that held the ship aloft broken, the entire thing begins to come down. Outside, Genos wonders if it is Saitama's doing, while inside, the aliens freak out. Fred Fredburger cries for his mommy, and I just can't even feel any sympathy for the guy. Suck it up, Fred.
Under the ship, the Class S gang sees it coming down and decide a hasty retreat is in order. Triple P starts yelling Angel Dash, while Metal Bat wishes he'd just shut the hell up and run already. For once, I kind of agree with Metal Bat. Quit yelling and just run your naked ass somewhere safe, Triple P.
Atomic Samurai has to carry Knight Man, while Bang leaves them all in the dust. With that, the ship crashes, and Genos and Superalloy decide to head over. I imagine Tornado is hovering around somewhere trying to figure out what the shit just happened.
This is when Amai Mask decides to show up, giving a disapproving look at the situation and generally spreading condescension around like its hot butter. He spots the Class S gang, and demands they explain themselves. Seems he was filming a drama in the next city over when things went down, and casually hurried over to find City A flattened.
Metal Bat explains what happened, and Amai Mask gets pissed, demanding to know how this is a victory. While on the one hand, I get what he's driving at, on the other, dude, shut the fuck up. You weren't there. The city was flattened in a single instant, before the Class S heroes even knew what was happening. It isn't like they could have prevented it. Hell, I doubt anyone could have prevented it.
Not content to accept that, Amai Mask turns into Captain Hindsight and basically calls the Class S group a bunch of losers for not having prevented something they couldn't have possibly seen coming. I like this guy less and less every time he shows up.
Each of them point out that he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, and Metal Bat is about to rearrange his face when a pod lands, and one of Metal Knight's drones arrives, looking to salvage the ship so he can develop more advanced weapons. Genos takes issue with this, but Metal Knight doesn't give a shit.
Amai Mask points out that powerful weapons in pathetic hands are worthless, and I hate having to agree with the douchebag. Metal Bat is ready to go, but Superalloy interrupts, having found some alien survivors, among which is our friend, Fred Fredburger.
The aliens wonder what is going to happen to them, and kind of hope they can just talk their way out of this. In a way, they were just following orders, so they aren't really to blame. I can't imagine many of them had a choice in following Boros. It was that or get killed most likely, so a fair hearing should be in order.
Or Amai Mask can just kill all of them. I suppose that's an option, too. He calls it justice, but I can't really agree. Frankly, I'd kind of like to see Saitama punch this assferret right now. His idea of dispensing justice is a little more unilateral than I'm okay with.
Amai Mask takes a moment to piss on Genos, as if he has a right, then saunters away, too cool to be seen with people who actually work for a living. Bang suggests Genos not respond, but Genos had no plan to. Looking at Amai Mask, he sees himself before he met Saitama, and doesn't particularly care for the view. For my part, I don't think Genos is giving himself enough credit. Even back then, he wasn't so callous. Still, he thinks maybe Amai Mask has a tragic backstory, which may be true, but doesn't excuse him being such a dick.
Realizing he still doesn't know where Saitama is, Genos goes looking for him. As he does, Tornado is floating about, being her sexy badass self, when Saitama punches a hole in the side of the ship and wanders out. She starts demanding to know what Saitama was doing in the ship when Genos arrives, asking if Saitama defeated the alien leader. Saitama admits he did, and that Boros was the strongest foe he's ever faced.
What they don't do is pay attention to Tornado, and if you've been paying attention, you'll know she really hates it when that happens. As Saitama is explaining to Genos that prophecies are rubbish, Tornado explodes, first demanding answers as to how a Class Be hero got inside the ship, then launching into a truly amazing display of name calling. I mean, seriously, it's just epic.
Saitama, being the guy he is, encourages Genos to say something. Genos, being the dork he is, calls Tornado a spoiled bra and orders her to shut up or else. Tornado, being the delicate flower she is, screams that she's older than Genos and plants him somewhere deep inside a piece of ruble. Saitama, being the weirdo he is, does… well… this…
Before a throwdown between Tornado and Saitama can start, Bang shows up and calms her down. She whatevers out, leaving Bang to wonder why there are so many weirdos in Class S. Saitama tries to help Genos out of the rubble, but accidentally pulls his arm off, as Bang wanders over to join them, bitching that his back is killing him.
I feel ya, bud.
With the alien invasion quashed, Genos narrates what happened after, as media coverage of the events eventually died down, the alien ship was salvaged, and where City A once stood, a new Heroes Association headquarters was built that allowed for more rapid deployment f heroes to trouble areas all over the world. Also, heroes of Class A and above were allowed to live in the new headquarters, and a very prominent memorial to the residents of City A who lost their lives was built.
After the credits, we get a brief final scene as a reporter is talking about a monster appearing in City Z, naturally, and rampaging all the way to City Y. As it turns out, the critter is a freaking giant pig that calls itself the Underworld King, and it basically is condemning humanity for all kind of things. You know, the usual.
It spots a small child, alone in the wreckage, and is about to wipe him out when Genos rescues him. Piggy sees this, and asks who we have here, to which Genos replies a great man who is a hero for fun, and profit. Piggy seems to find that amusing, just before Saitama punches him into oblivion.
Genos smiles at the kid, and adds, "And his disciple", as Saitama bemoans the fact that bad guys have gone back to being one punched.
With that, the anime saga of One Punch Man comes to close, and what a fitting end it is. While things have come full circle, ending as they began, so much has changed. Saitama is no longer unrecognized in his efforts, because Genos is there, and even more people are beginning to notice him, as well. I doubt Saitama will be Class B for long.
It's also been one hell of a fun ride. One of the things OPM set out to do was to both deconstruct the hero myth, while at the same time, exploring what made a real hero. In both of these things, it is, without a doubt, a total success.
As gorgeous and wonderful as Saitama's many battles with evildoers has been, it has been his humanity, his every day qualities, that has made the show so watchable. It's been in those clever little explorations of character that this story has shone the brightest, and seriously upped the bar for superhero and shonen stories everywhere. While I doubt anyone can reach this height any time soon, that the goal now exists is really something.
Like I said at the top, there's a lot to say about the show overall, but that's going to have to wait for next week, when I do my series recap. The week after that, I'll have a look at both the original webcomic and the Murata drawn manga that the series is based on. I learned my lesson from trying to do all of it at once with Gakkou Gurashi.
The Winter Season doesn't officially kick off until January, so I don't know yet what I'll be recapping, or if there will even being anything worth keeping up with. I know Snow White with the Red Hair is coming back, but since I didn't cover the first half, I won't be doing the second, though it is the only thing right now I am eagerly looking forward to.
I do want to say that OPM has been the shining star of the fall season, however. Of everything that came along when it did, nothing held my interest as well as this did. The Perfect Insider, a show I had high hopes for, became a burden to get through, and the other show I considered recapping, Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen, has utterly lost my interest as it wanders about searching for a plot, with a bloated cast of female characters who seemingly only exist for fan service.
That said, I do regret not recapping Comet Lucifer, since it was the only other show that I really enjoyed this season. While there was nothing original about it, what it did well was character work, and in that, it was simply amazing. Ah well. If you didn't watch it, go give it a try. It was pretty good.
See you next week for my One Punch Man series recap, and the week after, for a look at the webcomic and manga that inspired it.
Have a wonderful Christmas, and enjoy the One Punch Man theme song, one more time.

Poster design on save earth. Due to lots of pollution world wide the Earth has been badly affected. The cause of this social issue are industrial waste pollution, Air pollution, traffic pollution, Military activity pollution, war pollution, water pollution etc. So I appeal to the public that stop pollution to save our beautiful Earth so that the future generation can also have better environment and fresh air for breath as well as fresh water to drink. So STOP POLLUTION
Category: Social
Save women,
these days the crimes against women have been increased, so we should strictly implement the law against criminals making crime against women. Mob lynching is a common phenomena these days against women specially. So I prepare a poster for social issue save women.
Around the world the half of the animal population has been declined and till 2030 approximate 70 % of animal population would be gone. We have already lost 50% of animal's population including mammals, aquatic, birds, insects and reptiles. If the proper measured step will not be taken to save wildlife, we can lost everything and the natural food chain will be affected and misbalanced. Habitat loss due to human intervention an climate change affecting human and animal behaviors, thus the habitat becoming unfavorable to animals. Forests have been continuously destroying by the humans for various reasons, including colonization, agricultural activities, industry and other reasons. This is just like that you occupy someone land and ask them to go somewhere else. It is happening with the animals that humans destroy forests and occupy land for their use and either it kill the animals or the animals go to find some other place for living. In this process so many species die itself those cannot move fast or some other reason they die and vanish. Cannot we find some other solutions where without destroying the wildlife we can make development for us? Cannot we live together in our own world without disturbing each others?
By continuously increasing the human population yes we need the land for further development but can it be possible without harming wildlife. Yes it can be, but only thing is we need to work towards it seriously.
I have one example of elephant, they are becoming lesser every day due to the climate change and some other threatening reasons. Other than human population, climate change the poaching the elephant for ivory (tusks) is also a threat for elephant life. Several countries have already ban sale of elephant ivory towards elephant protection. We can save animals by ending illegal wildlife trade all over world. Save wildlife message should be communicate clearly at govt. level seriously. As per the records India have approximate 40000 elephant and continuously decreasing in numbers by expending human activities, climate change and habitat loss.
Save wildlife, save elephant
I have painted this amazing beauty by water colours on paper, this painting of swan bird has so many emotions in it.
Save wildlife, by saving these birds we should preserve the natural beauty blessed by god. These beautiful swans are becoming victim of hunting and killing. So my appeal is to people that don't kill these beautiful birds like swan and other wildlife animals. The swan has beautiful white feathers, swimming calmly in the dark blue water, and making the whole environment beautiful. The reflection of swan in the water is also making its appearance on the shining surface of lake. Long rounded, curvy neck is looking beautiful, and the dark orange beak towards the ground (water) is showing its elegant look. Looking down is depicting her down to earth however she is beautiful enough. It is looking like swan is making appearance on the ramp with catwalk on the fashion show with beautiful white feathery dress. And supposing to saying that how can you kill us, although we are beautiful enough to make you feel good while you would be walking in the nature.
The poster showing the skull of elephant which was alive before, so by this poster I tried to show the grief of elephants and want to educate people by spreading awareness through this poster that Elephants are the important part of our life and environment, so don't kill them but save them.
Elephant does not need an introduction but need attention. It has been killed since long, and there are several reason behind killing them. It is the fact that we are building our space on their way or on their land, thus results the forest are becoming squeezing and human interfere in jungles has been increasing. Some time people kill elephants for safety purpose, to save their crops, to save their houses and as well as human life, but sometime they are killed to become a beautiful decorative items. Elephant bone and tusk (ivory) has been used in making handicrafts, jewellery, decorative, and other ornaments, which are in high demand in the grey market. Almost all over the world the trade of items made by elephant's body part has been banned. In some areas people used to eat their flash for medicinal purpose. Elephant population has been continuously decreasing due to their regular illegal killing, and they need immediate attention to save their presence on earth.
No Kingdom Without the King – Tiger
To save our forest kingdom we have to save animals and specially Tiger the king of that kingdom. Stop killing tigers and other animals and save our environment and earth. Tiger has been killed and poaching for a long time, so now it is time to take action to spread or to educate people for not killing tiger but save them. There are several other options available for dressing, ornaments, jewellery, and other decorative items so why not use those alternative instead of killing tigers and other animals.
Poster on save wildlife, Save Tiger Save Kingdom
Save Earth
Poster save animals is asking people to stop hunting before they perish.
The People realising now that what the loss we have done for our environment, by killing animals and plants. So people started awareness programme to save animals, oceans, rivers, lake and plants to benefit earth. If we dig the history of animal killing tiger comes at first place and its hunt was horrible, because in the past the tigers were like enemy of humans and the tiger hunt is like the certificate of bravery, Raja Maharajas, king and queens were hunting for their enjoyment and symbolized strength. Even now a days tigers in India have been killing and poaching illegally, due to highly paid products made of tiger's skin and bone also other parts have been used in making Chinese medicine. So animals have been continuously killed by man for any purpose or without. This arising a big environment dis balance threat world wide. So avoid this situation we should make people aware about the loss of earth. Due to increasing human population the forests (jungle) have been squeezing fast and human colonies are taking space on animal home. So all the natural life and their habitats have been effected by these human activities. Because of this unplanned extensions of human life and their creations. We have to think seriously about the animals and other natural assets to preserve them to save earth.
Tigers and other animals are assets to nature and we should preserve them.
Stop killing animal poster is a part of campaign making people aware of save animal but not kill them, they are the part of out healthy earth.
Once Upon a time it was alive,
People are destroying jungles and animal, all wildlife is in danger. By saving animals like tiger we can say in future to our next generation that this is a tiger. But by increasing demand in grey market the tigers are under threat. There are some other option we can use to decorate our house like artificial floor mat, or man made items. When there are hundreds of options available then why we need to kill animals. So stop hunting and live them their natural life. Be them the live beauty of jungle instead of decoration deadly at home. Save Tiger save wildlife and save our environment.
Save wildlife poster developed to protect wildlife animals, it is showing the products made of zebra hide or zebra skin and people are using without hesitation. So Think about when we can use some other material for developing different products with the same look and feel so why we are killing animals for that. Think Once and save wildlife. They are the beauty as well as natural assets for us.
Products made of animal hide or animals skin, why we cannot use some other material for making these products, think once and save wildlife. There are some other options available in the world for making any products with same look and feel, so why we still need to kill these beautiful animal, they help to protect our environment and life cycle.
This is poster on save wildlife, image showing the zebra hide, generally people hunt zebra for their hide or skin. I tried to spread awareness about not to use their hide when we can use some other materials for the same texture and design. The illustration of poster developed in Adobe Illustrator and colours used in the poster are dark brown, black and green. So Think once and save wildlife. Visual communication is a medium through which we can educate people about save wildlife.

Friday night's NBA action includes the Cavs vs. Hawks live-streaming and televised game coverage as Cleveland will look for their second win in a row. The two teams both were somewhat active this past Thursday before the NBA trade deadline arrived. Here are the latest details for tonight's game, including point spread, points total, TV start time, channels, and how to watch the Cavs vs. Hawks live streaming online.
As ESPN reported on Friday, both teams may be shorthanded for tonight's game, as the new players these teams received before the trade deadline could be sitting out. That includes new Cavs roster members George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson, and John Holland as well as the Hawks' newest acquisition, Marco Belinelli. Cleveland will still have LeBron James on the hardwood which always seems to give them an advantage over most teams. However, the team no longer has this offseason's acquisitions including Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Derrick Rose, and Dwyane Wade, due to yesterday's roster reboot.
The Cleveland Cavaliers (31-22) will still enter tonight's road game as two-point favorites or at -135 on the moneyline, while the Atlanta Hawks (17-38) are +115 underdogs. Meanwhile, it's expected that the points total will be over or under 116 points. Cleveland is coming off their thrilling overtime buzzer-beater win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, while the Hawks are 2-3 in their last five games. That includes a very slim road loss against Orlando 100-98 last night. Dennis Schroder and Taurean Prince each had 19 points in the losing effort.
Friday night's NBA game featuring the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Atlanta Hawks is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The game will be televised live from Atlanta for viewers on different networks based on viewing regions. In Cleveland, the telecast is available on the Fox Sports Ohio (FSO) network. For Atlanta, it's Fox Sports Southeast Atlanta (FSSE-ATL). In other regions of the country, fans will need to have an NBA League Pass subscription to watch the game on television.
For those who want to watch the Cavs vs. Hawks game live streaming online, there are feeds available to cable and satellite subscribers with Fox Sports coverage in their region. Viewers will need to go to Fox Sports Go website or compatible apps to log in. Otherwise, fans can purchase the game individually or buy a season or team subscription through the NBA League Pass website.

Dirty nappies and leftover food spilling onto a Crawley town centre pavement caused a health hazard yesterday (Wednesday December 2).
Jill Bason, manager of Sense charity shop in The Boulevard, said rubbish bags from nearby homes had been left outside her shop and torn open by birds.
She said: "It's beyond a joke. Somebody was nearly sick and it's affecting my trade.
"It is enticing vermin. It could become a health hazard out there."
The rubbish was outside the shop from about 9am.
Jill said council workers promised to remove the mess straight away, but it remained on the street when workers left at 5.30pm.
The rubbish was removed overnight.
Jill added: "When people have got shopping, they don't look where they are walking so it was trodden inside my shop.
"People moaned all day about what a mess it was. I got the feeling some of them thought it belonged to me and my shop. "We are a new charity in town so we are going on first impressions."
A spokesperson for Crawley Borough Council said: "We are trying to resolve the problem of residents not having bin provision, which causes them to place rubbish in the street, with their landlord.
"We have served a Breach of Condition Notice on the landlord for not providing bins for the residents of 22 The Boulevard; this was a condition of the planning permission.
"In the meantime, we are working with our contractor Biffa to try and minimise the time that the bags are left in the street."

Telegram's Cryptocurrency Could Be Worth $200 Billion, but is the ICO Overpriced?
Telegram's much-anticipated cryptocurrency could achieve a $200 billion market cap in five years, but a respected analyst said that the firm's initial coin offering (ICO) is still probably overvalued.
Reports on Telegram's goal for the ICO have varied wildly. Some have placed the figure as high as $2.6 billion, but all reports agree it will likely shatter the token sale record.
Aaron Brown, a former managing director at quantitative investment firm AQR Capital Management — told Bloomberg that Gram, the native token of the Telegram Open Network (TON), could achieve a $200 billion market cap in as little as five years, netting ICO investors significant profits.
However, the stars must align for investors to see that windfall.
Brown anticipates that 300 million people will be using cryptocurrencies in five years — raising their aggregate market cap to $5 trillion — and that Telegram could attract four percent of them to its platform.
Assuming that Telegram's platforms sees a similar ratio of transaction balances to annual revenue as the now-defunct dark web marketplace Silk Road (one-sixth), Gram's market cap will reach $200 billion. This, though, would require users to average $100,000 of annual value exchange, an eye-popping figure given current cryptocurrency transaction volumes.
Brown said that, according to his best estimates, Gram should launch with a $1 billion valuation (the article does not make clear whether this figure refers to the cryptocurrency as a whole or just the tokens distributed through the ICO).
$1 billion is still an impressive mark for a cryptocurrency to reach at launch, but it nevertheless indicates that investors — mesmerized either by the token sale's notoriety or the claims that Telegram makes in the TON whitepaper — are perhaps paying a significant premium for access to the ICO.

text: Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested on Friday that the United States planned to receive competitive advantages in trade and economic ties with Europe by insisting on sanctions against Russia. "I have the suspicion that by insisting on imposing sanctions against Russia, our American friends, and they're pretty sophisticated guys, they, perhaps, even want to get certain competitive advantages in their trade and economic ties in Europe? I simply don't see, don't understand any other motives that are that serious or deep, but I hope that common sense prevails," Putin said. The US and EU have imposed sanctions against Russia in connection with its policy in Ukraine and the reunification of Crimea. The sanctions have so far remained targeted and consist of government-approved lists of individuals and companies facing visa bans and asset freezes.

The form just flashes and says "Waiting", but does not submit the info. Then the page just goes blank. All of my plugins and my wordpress are up to date. Please help.
- JotForm SupportChriistianAnswered on August 08, 2016 at 10:16 PM
I sent a test submission to your form and it seems that I am able to submit the form successfully. I did not encounter the issue that you were referring to.
Do you still encounter the issue on your end? If you are, I would suggest embedding the form to your page using the iFrame embed code to avoid any conflicts with the script on your page. Here's how to get the code: Getting the form iFrame code.
If the issue persists, please let us know.
- heatherwilliamsonAnswered on August 09, 2016 at 09:52 AM
Okay. Not really sure what's going on. Had an applicant tell me this and then I experienced the same exact problem when testing. We'll see what happens.
- CharlieAnswered on August 09, 2016 at 11:25 AM
Thank you for the update, please do try the suggestion of my colleague to use the iFrame embed code generated in your "Publish" wizard, if you experienced the problem again even after doing the suggested solution, please let us know and we'll have it investigated.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
- heatherwilliamsonAnswered on August 10, 2016 at 04:54 PM
Okay, so I looked at the directions on how to do the iFrame embed code, and I understand all of that. What I don't understand is once it's copied, where do I paste it on my site? I'm using wordpress, with the Divi theme. Divi has like compartments within compartments within compartments. Do I just stick it anywhere on any page?
- JotForm SupportdavidAnswered on August 10, 2016 at 06:29 PM
It looks like the form has been added to your page twice:
Remove those two lines and replace them with your iFrame code.
- heatherwilliamsonAnswered on August 10, 2016 at 08:21 PM
Oh... if I only knew where all of ^^^that stuff was...
- heatherwilliamsonAnswered on August 10, 2016 at 08:28 PM
I tried...
I went to the page where I put my jot form plugin thingy code and I deleted it. Then I followed the directions for the iFrame and pasted it to that same section. The form is there, but it made some crazy wordpress thing pop up at the top of the page. Is this a glitch... like it just needs time to get acclimated or what?
- heatherwilliamsonAnswered on August 10, 2016 at 08:29 PM
^^That strange picture type banner above "Talented. Professionals. Wanted." wasn't there before and neither was the wordpress tool bar below it. Also, the tiny logo beneath that to the left wasn't there.
- heatherwilliamsonAnswered on August 10, 2016 at 08:41 PM
I didn't publish it because it's terrible. It's actually duplicating the top photo and Title and adding the strange wordpress dashboard. I tried to re-arrange my modules to see if I could fix it, but it continues to do the same thing. Help.
- JotForm SupportChriistianAnswered on August 10, 2016 at 10:24 PM
Based on your screenshot it does seem to duplicate the page into the iframe. I see you are currently using the script embed. If you are no longer experiencing any issues with the submission, then you can simply keep the form as it is right now.
If you would still like to use the iFrame code, then you can copy the iFrame code below and paste it to your wordpress page.
<iframe id="JotFormIFrame" onload="window.parent.scrollTo(0,0)" allowtransparency="true" src="https://form.jotform.me/40458255613151" frameborder="0" style="width:100%; height:539px; border:none;" scrolling="no"> </iframe>
If the issue still persists, then please send us a screenshot of your wordpress setup so we may find out why the page is being duplicated in the frame. Thank you.
