North Carolina is a location chosen as a targeted community through the Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center: Targeted Communities (VR-TAC-TC) or Project E3. Project E3 will partner with State VR Agencies and local community partners to improve outreach and employment-related services to underserved people with disabilities in this community.
North Carolina boasts scenic beauty, a moderate climate, a culture rich in history and the arts, and world-class sports and recreational opportunities. With 300 miles of Atlantic coastline and the highest mountain peaks east of the Rockies, it is the 6th most-visited state in the nation.
North Carolina has the 9th largest economy in the United States. It is the United States' top producer of sweet potatoes and the 2nd largest producer of Christmas trees.
There has been a clear division in the economic growth of North Carolina's urban and rural areas since 2000. Urban areas show steady job growth, low unemployment, and rising wages, while many rural counties have experienced job loss, rising levels of poverty, and population loss as their manufacturing base has declined.
Predicted employment growth areas include health and medical services, professional services, wholesale/retail trade, and construction-related industries. Construction is projected to be one of the fastest growing industries in the state, and healthcare support occupations and healthcare practitioners are projected to be the two fastest growing occupational groups.
Targeted Communities
The state-federal vocational rehabilitation system in North Carolina faces many challenges as it strives to serve people with significant disabilities and promote competitive integrated employment. Project E3 will provide intensive technical assistance to two regions of the state:
Key Information:
Statewide average = 14.6%
Statewide average = 17.2%
Statewide average = 4.3%
Targeted Populations
These populations are characterized as:
Primary Challenges for Targeted Populations
Some of the challenges of this population in North Carolina include:
Key Strategies to Address Barriers
Following are some of the key strategies being developed and implemented to address the targeted populations' challenges and barriers to employment.
- Community-Based Participatory Research: Use existing local resources to engage community participation and create partnerships that lead to better collaboration between community agencies. These partnerships will inform ongoing decision-making and will promote the long-term sustainability of successful strategies and outcomes beyond the life of the project.
- Poverty Awareness Training: Provide counselors and partners with a better understanding of barriers and resources for serving the targeted populations.
- Financial Empowerment Training and Coaching: Engage community partners in asset mapping to identify key resources for targeted populations; provide financial capability training using the Your Money, Your Goals financial empowerment toolkit developed by the federal Consumer Financial Protection.
- Work Incentives Benefits Counseling: Participants receiving Social Security benefits will receive a benefit analysis. This will allow them to understand how work will impact their benefits. It will also help them make informed choices about work.
- Employability Skills Training: Training will focus on increasing social skills, understanding both written and unwritten rules in the work environment, and improving communication skills.
- Customized Employment and Discovery Process:Customized Employment will be used in North Carolina as a method to reach out to the consumers who have not been served in ways that meet individualized employment needs.
Project Outcomes
Project E3 will provide North Carolina's state Vocational Rehabilitation agencies and their partners with the skills and competencies needed to effectively and efficiently address barriers to competitive integrated employment and community integration encountered by persons with disabilities in these regions.
We will leverage promising practices, knowledge, and experience gained from this project to expand employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities from underserved and economically disadvantaged populations throughout North Carolina and across the United States.
Our specific goals for this project are to:

"Spent our last full day in Southern Utah climbing 11,307 ft Brian Head Peak in Dixie National Forest. We forged our own path from SR 143, through the deep snowpack and up towards the cliffside of the southwest face of the peak. Switched from snowshoes to crampons at 11,000 feet. Found a nice keyhole in the cliffside below the summit, allowing for a nontechnical route to the top from this approach. We had beautiful "spring" weather and 360 degree views on our final Utah adventure." — wacbravo • Apr 8, 2019
"I feel like it's cheating, as my Jeep did all of the work - but my partner and I "summitted" Brian Head peak. We were out leaf peeping and drove up the mountain, because me on a gravel road is like a cat with catnip. Windy and chilly, but oh, the views...! I had never even been to Brian Head before (not much of a skiier) - it was so beautiful I would love to come back and spend more time in the area. " — psychikingjes • Sep 23, 2018
"Yoka was nice enough to give me a ride to Cedar City, UT so I could pick up our truck. She's running the Cedar City half tomorrow! (Have a great run!) I didn't want to waste a trip and had a few hours to spare so I drove up and Bagged Brian Head Peak. Only a half mile to hike to bag an 11,307' Peak with views of 3 different states. The truck did all the work gaining 6,000'. I think it is the same Mtn road the race is held on. It's going to be a nice route for the runners. I will have to try this race one year. Super pretty Mtn Range. I was surprised how stunning the views were! I skied in Brian Head 25 years ago but I didn't remember what it looked like and it was snowy and Wintertime.

This is an old revision of the document!
The SPI slave protocol
For using the Netzer as Ethernet modem from i.e. another microcontroller there is a dedicated Netzer project "SPISlave". This project implements an SPI slave mode. TCP/IP connections can be established and released (as client or server) and data can be received and sent.
Since version 1.4 the protocol and interface has significantly changed compared with prior versions. For older versions please check out the Elektor website.
Physical connection
At least six free pins on the master side are needed. See figure 1 diagramm for a typical connection.
All SPI pins are read only for the GPIO access (GPIO webpage). Other pins can be used as digital in or ouputs as needed.
|Netzer pin
| The master generates edges for data transmission here. One tranfer unit is eight edges and therefore eight bits. All clock polarities are supported by Netzer (settable via web interface).
Important Note: The selected idle state on this pin is checked by Netzer on startup to ensure synchronicity with SPI master. Netzer blocks as long as the pin level does not match the idle state!
|Output / Open
|Netzer shifts out its data on SPI_CLK edges.
|Master shifts out its data on SPI_CLK edges.
| The master MUST select Netzer with a low chip select line. During the entire transmission the chip select must stay low.
Note: Releasing the chip select does not automatically reset the register interface (see below). A released chip select disables the internal SPI_MO driver. A pullup or pulldown resistor is needed therefore on this pin to prevent floating!
|Netzer pulls this pin low, if internal states has changed. The master MUST check this line inbetween complete transmissions of eight bit. If the line is low the master MUST stop any pending register access immediately with a rising edge on IO1. The interrupt pin is released after a SPI master write to the interrupts flags register.
|IO5 is used as handshake pin for increasing data throughput. The pin is low during master transmissions. On finished master transmissions the pin is driven high as soon as the Netzer internal SPI module has detected pending data. During the processing of the received byte the line stays high. If processing is finished and possible data is provided by the slave for shifting out the line returns to low. The master is not allowed to start a new transmission during the high state of IO5.
|IO1 is used for controlling the register access. A falling edge on IO1 starts a new register access. Netzer awaits the very next byte from master after the edge as register address. A rising edge on the pin stops the register access. For easier connection the SPI_CS pin and IO5 can connected together.

So there is definitely a link between my computer and social media use and my swirly out-of balance-ness.
It's a shame because I enjoy engaging in this way, both with people that I know and people who I have only 'met' online.
But I can see I need to have boundaries in place. I'm not blaming the internet. I'm not blaming Facebook. I'm not blaming my computer.
I can't entirely blame these things for my anxiety, for my feeling like I can't catch my breath, can't get ahead, can't reach the surface.
There are other factors. Illness, sick kids, busy life. But computer use certainly is a major contributor. How do I know this? Because when I turn my computer off, disconnect from the internet, I feel better.
When I am offline the swirly feelings subside like the tide and I can breathe. These feelings, they don't go away altogether. But they lessen, retreat, diminish.
I had a beautiful opportunity to go away with the kids and visit some extended family recently. There I had no reception, no computer, no phone and that was it. That was all I needed to break the cycle. To show myself that I don't even miss it when it's gone.
That in fact I feel better without it. So when I returned I set some rules around my computer use. Oh, yes, I have made rules before but then I did Blog With Pip and all that fell away.
Not that I am blaming Pip either. No way. Blog with Pip was a blast. It taught me a lot about blogging and connected me with some truly amazing and inspiring people. Some of whom I have been thrilled to share with you here over the last few weeks. (I really hope you've enjoyed the Guest Post series, I think there were some real gems!)
Blog With Pip is ace and Pip is the bomb. But I tell you what it's also a bit addictive. Because it's so great. And because it's good for my blog too.
We bloggers are constantly being told that to have a successful blog we need to ENGAGE! That means not just posting here, but reading and commenting on other peoples blogs, putting my posts out there on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. ALL THE THINGS!! And it's true. It works.
When I tell people about my posts, they read them. And that is totally awesome. I'm not talking about wanting to reach any commercial-type blog pinnacles. I'm not talking about earning money or becoming a 'big' blogger.
I am talking about people reading my words and connecting with them. I am talking about people who have told me they miss my voice when I'm not writing here (Tread Kindly, you are indeed very kind). People who have told me that what I do here makes them want to start blogging (Do it!). And people who tell me that we are kindred spirits, as Anne with an E would say (Chronic-ills of Rach, you're so right about Gilbert Blythe)
So when these connections are made, and people value my words, and me theirs it feels good. So I think "that feels good - I'll do more of that."
Only what doesn't feel good is spending so much time on my computer (even though it is a sexy new Air and I am a little bit in love with it). What doesn't feel good is getting short with my kids because they want my attention but I want to have a cup of tea and scroll my Facebook feed. What doesn't feel good is modelling poor computer use to my babes who will soon enough be needing to manage their own use of devices.
None of these things feels good. And ultimately these things are bigger and more important than comments on my blog. Because as I have thrashed out before that which gives us pleasure does not ultimately make us happy.
So here is my new rule (and it's a biggie): No computer use before my kids are in bed for the night. Also each night when I go to bed I shut down my computer and physically remove it (hide it in my jumper drawer). This means it is not beckoning me in the morning when I get up.
And this new rule? It is good.
I've lamented to friend before how, if the computer is on my desire to check it is continuous, constant and crazy-making. And stupidly can retrospectively shape a whole day, just change the mood around the place. Simply because I'm not focussed on the kids and I'm giving off this 'Mummy would rather be elsewhere' vibe.
So enough.
I don't know what this means for One Small Life. I hope I am going to be able to still give this blog the attention it needs. I suspect things are going to get a bit uncomfortable around here. But maybe that's a good thing. We'll have to wait and see how that pans out.
What I do know is that while this space and the gorgeous, supportive and talented people who read it are important to me, my kids and my family are more important by far (Obviously, sorry guys). As is my own mental health and contentment.
So let's see. Bring on the new challenge, the new discipline and new disconnection and let's see where it takes us.

BP clinics slated at town hall
The New Milford Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice in cooperation with the New Milford Health Department (NMHD) will co-sponsor weekly blood pressure clinics beginning April 23.
Clinics will be held Wednesdays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on the first floor at Roger Sherman Town Hall, 10 Main St.
High blood pressure is one of several important risk factors that affect your risk of heart disease, according to the American Heart Association.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure can have serious consequences.
It is sometimes called "the silent killer" because high blood pressure has no symptoms, so one may not be aware that it's damaging one's arteries, heart and other organs.
For more information, call the New Milford Health Department at 860-355-6035 or visit www.newmilfordhealth.org.

An analysis of a three-dimensional map of galaxies and their velocities reveals the hitherto unknown edges of the large system of galaxies in which we live — dubbed the Laniakea supercluster. See Letter p.71
One of the greatest advances in cosmology has been the discovery of how matter and light are organized on scales larger than those of galaxies1,2. However, despite tremendous effort, astronomers have been unable to map in detail the large-scale cosmic structure in which the Milky Way resides. Now, on page 71 of this issue, Tully et al.3 report an analysis of data from a vast catalogue of galaxies that has allowed them to do just that.
The large-scale structure of the Universe is an intricate network of clusters, filaments and superclusters of galaxies, together with cosmic voids that are almost empty of galaxies. Superclusters are extended regions containing a large number of galaxies, but this concept is rather vague; researchers lack a robust, quantitative definition for them. Tully and colleagues have found a neat way of identifying the edges of superclusters by examining the motions of galaxies. In doing so, they have detected the boundaries of our home supercluster, which they have called the Laniakea supercluster. Their paper is supplemented by a beautiful movie (http://irfu.cea.fr/laniakea) that shows our supercluster and its dynamical connection to other neighbouring large-scale systems. The movie is essential for comprehending the complexity of cosmic structures.
Mapping the large-scale structure of the nearby region of the Universe is important for several reasons. First, it reveals details of the large-scale cosmic structures that surround the Milky Way. These details are nearly impossible to observe for systems far away from Earth. Second, the morphology of the nearby Universe is essential for a precise determination of cosmological parameters such as the density of dark energy4, which is thought to drive the acceleration of the expanding Universe. Third, examination of cosmic structures around the Milky Way will help us to understand how the Galaxy formed and evolved5, and galaxy-formation processes in general.
Tully and colleagues' study is based on data from the Cosmicflows-2 galaxy catalogue6. The authors combined existing measurements of the velocities at which galaxies recede from Earth — which are mainly caused by the cosmic expansion and provide an indirect estimate of how far away they are — with direct galaxy distance measurements from the Cosmicflows-2 data set. This enabled them to derive the 'peculiar velocities' of the galaxies, that is, their true velocity relative to a rest frame. The peculiar velocity is obtained by subtracting the contribution of the cosmic expansion, which is determined using the direct distance measurement, from the recession velocity.
Direct distance measurements of galaxies are extremely difficult to perform, and the lack of such data has limited this kind of analysis in the past. However, the use of peculiar velocities can provide information about cosmic structures that is otherwise hard to obtain. And in the present case, it allowed the extent, structure and dynamics of Earth's supercluster, as well as those of other nearby superclusters, to be determined. We can only imagine what other details and structures might be uncovered if additional direct-distance measurements of galaxies are carried out.
A noteworthy aspect of Tully and colleagues' study is the use of Wiener filtering7 — a nifty algorithm that translates an incomplete map of peculiar velocities of galaxies into a complete map of the underlying distribution (density field) and dynamics (velocity flow field) of matter (Fig. 1). It is this technique that allowed the authors to come up with a quantitative definition of a supercluster. According to their definition, a supercluster is a 'basin of attraction' in the velocity flow field. In other words, the boundaries of a supercluster are defined by the places at which the velocity flow field points in different directions on either side of the boundary. This is the first clear definition of a supercluster. The downside of it is that it requires dynamical information that is available only for the nearby Universe.
Tully et al. find several basins of attraction in our corner of the Universe, including Laniakea and the previously known Perseus–Pisces and Shapley superclusters. Laniakea has a diameter of 160 million parsecs (520 million light years), and is much bigger than already identified superclusters in our local neighbourhood. However, it is smaller than the largest superclusters that have been found in the more distant Universe8. It is a surprise that Laniakea was not spotted in previous astronomical surveys. It seems that measurements of the peculiar velocities of galaxies are essential for identifying the boundaries of some superclusters.
Of course, these results do not mark the end of mapping the Universe. Although Tully et al. used the best galaxy catalogue available, these data do not extend far enough in cosmic space to explain the motion of our Galaxy with respect to the rest frame of the cosmic microwave background — relic radiation from the Big Bang. The Universe must be mapped on a much bigger scale than that achieved here to fully understand what processes affected the formation of cosmic structures in our local Universe. This is a challenging task, but one that is worthwhile and that we must hope will be tackled using future surveys.
Finally, I praise the choice of the name Laniakea for Earth's supercluster. It is taken from the Hawaiian words lani, which means heaven, and akea, which means spacious or immeasurable. That is just the name one would expect for the whopping system that we live in.

"Who's that?" – I asked the driver.
We were in a car, Ubud – bound. It was the second day of our Bali trip and we would come across such installations now and then, instead of the usual triangles / circles or statues of leaders / other monuments, that mark the traffic management at any random place on earth.
"That IS Krishna". Said the driver. When I made a face, he added – "Umm… I think…".
Well, it could be Krishna for all I know, because 'he' was tackling some huge snake variety in the middle of waves and all of us in India have grown up listening to 'Kalia mardan' – the deadly dance of Krishna on the hood of Kalia – the huge serpent – and its eventual destruction. But Krishna in a typical Indian's mind would always be handsome I guess. Maybe, this is Balinese Krishna, I thought, and they do not have such image hang – ups, I concluded.Though I was not at all convinced that this was Krishna. Anyways, en route, we came across so many such statues of various mythological characters, and even roads named after these characters. In Bali, people openly seemed to flaunt their culture – and more than that , their religion. So much that I am convinced they are more devout Hindus than myself or any other random common Indian Hindu person. I am digressing. As usual.
Well, we were Ubud – bound finally. We had landed at Denpasar, with no specific plan, but visiting Ubud was always on MY agenda, thanks to the book. Its lovely description about greenery, art, rice fields and peace and quiet totally seemed to by my thing. Based on his experience at Jogja (Yogyakarta) Swapnil had googled up terms such as 'Bali driver' etc previous evening and had landed on a website of a driver who offered to drive for some 10 hours for a sum of 400,000 IDRs. Considering the fact that 25 minute drive to Nusa Dua from Denpasar was being charged 120,000 IDR, this was totally a bargain. So we engaged a private car.
So far, our experience in Indonesia tells us to engage private cars – despite the fact that they might seem like a luxury. This is because of the super cheap fuel prices in Indonesia (half as much as in Mumbai at the moment). The only reason for astronomical taxi fares is the fact that there is complete privatisation and cartelisation of these taxi companies such as Blue Bird, Express and such other networks. So for one day trip, instead of taking taxis at various points, it is more economical to engage a private car. Anyhow, at Bali, public transport doesn't seem very accessible and most of the high-end Hotels have some or other form of shuttle service to a pick – up and drop point. The only taxi network that we saw in Bali was Blue Bird, which billed us around IDR 65000 up to the airport while returning. So we had paid only 10000 IDR more (INR 50) and enjoyed a spacious car on day #1. Anyways.
We were supposed to visit several places in and around Ubud. However, due to the fact that we started off a bit late and then chose to spend more time at each individual place we saw, we could see only a few places.
Ubud and surrounding
As we went further from shores, the rainy weather soon lead to coolish airs around us and by the time we reached Kintamani, we were freezing and wet from the rains. We stepped out for lunch at Kintamani, which seems to be full of hotels on cliff allowing a magnificent view of the opposite hill. At the hotel, we got asked whether we were Hindus, for probably some fiftieth time and then ushered into a dining hall that seemed to be some surreal fusion of Indian and Chinese concepts. Anyhow, we chose to first go to the terrace and take a view of the opposite hill.
and this is what we saw. The opposite hill and the smallish valley in between was fully covered with mist. It was raining and breezy. The people who had chosen to eat on the counters facing this view were now sour faced. We went inside to check the menu. Having decided on the menu, we returned. It would have definitely been under 10 minutes. All we had to do was check for vegetarian dishes on the buffet menu, which as usual were just a couple or three. This is what we saw from the same vantage point. The weather had changed within minutes. Of course, in actual, this looked lovelier. We were at cloud level :). We spent quite some time taking in the view and had our post lunch (post – salad really) coffees at the terrace counters. This is another view of this hotel.
We then proceeded to the next thing on our agenda – Coffee walk.Within this area, many small farmers have their orchards cum plantation and grow and package organic stuff. Mostly tea, coffee, coco, spices, honey, aroma oils, wax, soap – all home-made. And many drivers have tie – up with particular owner where they take you for a walk. We couldn't complain, the walk felt good. Weather was awesome, it having drizzled just minutes before.
We started at this archway and proceeded to walk through this narrow pathway – the owner's son was pointing out various plant / tree varieties to us. The coffee beans, coca tree. Various medicinal herbs and the likes. It was lovely small orchard and we were informed that it was just one acre of land. Where the whole extended family worked grew so many things. We were taken to a cage and an animal was sleeping. We were informed, its luwak, a rare animal that eats coffee beans and excretes them intact. Just as we were about to conclude that luwak is a menace for coffee, we were informed that it's not. In fact its an asset. Apparently, while Luwak's stomach is not capable of processing coffee, the enzymes from its stomach change the taste of beans altogether and when ground, it is considered one of the finest coffee varieties – the luwak coffee. I remember reading 'Kopi Luwak' in large neon signs outside many a coffee shops in Jakarta, but always concluded that it was the name of the outlet, possibly a chain or something. But no, it had to be the advertisement for THIS.
'Luwak shit' apparently sells at a substantial premium for its taste. Human beings! they will go at any length for great food / taste. (or depths in this case) – tasting the luwak shit!! No offence to anyone who loves Kopi Luwak. I am sure it must be tasting great. While we obviously werent served luwak coffee (its at premium remember? – not that i was particularly interested in tasting it), we were allowed free sampling of other organic products – Cinnamon coffee, green tea, lemon grass tea, ginger tea, coca and so on…
It was quite flavorful (and not just because was free). Eventually we got ourselves a honey lemon tea pack which was substantially overpriced, but then we thought it was okay considering the organic farming gyaan that the orchard's owner gave us.
Anyhow, after a leisurely walk through the orchard again,
we left for Tegalalang rice terraces. Now the weather was quite pleasant and it was absolute joy to pass through the greenery on both sides. This has been a feature throughout our travels so far within Indonesia. Also reminded us of Konkan, Maharashtra, India – where my family hails from. Konkan is lush green during monsoon days exactly like this.
We passed through these routes at leisurely pace, taking in the surroundings and living in the moment. It was one of the most pleasurable parts of our trip. Suddenly our driver stopped the car and informed us that we'd reached. We looked outside. Nothing indicative. Got off and began walking. There was a lot of foreign crowd. But all we could see were some art shops lined on both the sides. We were past the last shop on our left and suddenly came in view of rice terrace. There was a railing and many people were leaning on it with their heavy cameras to take in the greenery on the opposite side. Rice terraces. Green and pleasant. But I realised, not a big deal. Not a big enough deal at all.
I have seen rice terraces even at Yogyakarta and surroundings, I think even while going to Bandung and perhaps even at Bogor. Such structures ARE mainstay of Indonesian rice farming. Perhaps we could have taken a walk through these. Though we were close enough. We had tea at a hotel on the opposite side, with a small shack peeping into these terraces. We chose that very shack to sit, and just lounged around for a while. Nice weather, lush greenery, pleasant time of the day, the setting of this small pretty shack and peace and quiet – all of that was an amazing experience together. Though by now it was quite late. Bali is already an hour ahead of Jakarta and it was close to almost four thirty – five I think; we left for the Sacred Monkey Forest. Now, I have to admit, we should have done our homework. Especially since we had Lonely Planet with us. We should have simply read why is this so important a venue. We didn't. Our driver for the day was probably 20 – 21 or even younger. His English was totally 'functional' and after several attempts we had given up on engaging him to know more of the area. So we just entered the place – without much idea of how and why, bought entry passes and started walking. This forest hosts macaques which seemed quite brave and were approaching tourists boldly. It began raining suddenly – so I don't have many pictures of monkeys – though I managed to capture an impressive moment.
The forest is not really that. It probably was a forest at one point. Now all that remains is probably an acre or two of dense trees and shrubbery. There is a sacred temple and entry inside was not allowed. A natural stream of some significance flows through the forest and the artists from past created a reservoir for the water in such a manner. I know my Mum would be smiling now, seeing Ganapati statue there…
The adjoining path led me to this giant sculpture of komodo dragon. Anyhow, it wouldn't stop raining and that was our cue to leave the park/forest.
The car took us through Ubud market place – a melange of various art shops. Paintings, craft work, metal work, jewellery, fabrics. Souvenirs… all sorts. I wish we could have stayed one night at Ubud to explore all that – but we were short of time (on driver's account) and short of patience (on Swapnil's account) to visit these. We decided to window shop through car windows instead of actual window shopping. Nevertheless, it was quite entertaining. We would pass by shops, and then more shops – each with varying art work. Later we passed sculptors houses, which also had their studios in their own courtyard. So numerous rows of sculptures stood outside and we passed lanes after lanes of such houses. We spent time wondering who would be buying such huge statues nowadays and what was being done to survive by these artists. Anyhow, it gets dark quite early in Bali and by six fifteen, when we reached Kuta beach, the sun had already set. Though we were treated to a medley of colours, cool ocean breeze and tidal waves making it to the shore 'wholeheartedly' 🙂
We spent some time walking on the beach and taking in surroundings and then headed for dinner. Kuta beach is quite popular due to the aggressive ocean waves here. For lack of better words, it could be called cleaner and upmarket cousin of Kalangut beach in Goa. Surrounded by eateries, pubs and hotels, it is a popular tourist spot where options are available for all wallet – sizes. We even found an Indian eatery of non – fine dining variety and post our dinner there, we went to check out a souvenir Shop – Rama-Krishna 'Oleh oleh Khas Bali' store that offers only local things for souvenirs. We didn't buy anything significant. But here's where I found a statue of Krishna, which supported my view that Krishna is always handsome, even in Bali. On that note, we ended our day…

When "Modern Family" premiered on ABC in 2009, Variety said it was "easily the new season's best comedy pilot" and noted that it "deftly [served] up laughs on multiple levels — from understated one-liners to grand sight gags." Though the series, which follows three individual, nuclear families that make up one larger extended brood, broke some new ground by showing a same-sex couple adopt a daughter from Vietnam in the pilot episode, much of the heart, humor and even inter-character dynamics were part of a tried-and-true formula. And it was those elements that series co-creator Christopher Lloyd believes ultimately made the show successful enough that it is hitting its 200th episode milestone in its ninth season, with a 10th season already ordered.
"It felt, in many ways, very traditional," Lloyd remembers about shooting and then screening the pilot of "Modern Family" almost a decade ago. "I think the things that made it succeed were less the things that made it different than the things that had been around on TV, but done well."
"Well" might be an understatement. In fact, the Alphabet felt so strongly about "Modern Family," which it was using to launch a brand-new night of comedy on Wednesdays (the show was given the 9 p.m. time slot, a position it has remained in ever since), that it screened the pilot in full for advertisers at its upfronts presentation, ahead of the series' fall premiere.
Gary Newman, who was 20th Century Fox Television chairman in 2009 and is now co-chairman and CEO of Fox Television Group, says "Modern Family's" high-profile launch was a career highlight for both himself and his partner Dana Walden.
"It anointed the show as the best comedy of the season and the best comedy of the generation, and it has lived up to that," Newman said on-set at the 200th episode celebration in late 2017. "'Modern Family's' celebration of family — all kinds of families — has shaped a social and political landscape and impacted viewers' lives in ways that few series have."
The series premiere drew 12.6 million viewers, a number that series co-creator Steve Levitan admits he never expected because he was focusing on writing what "felt real" and not what the show could potentially do.
"At that point the comedy world was pretty depressed, and the odds against another big comedy hit were pretty high," Levitan says. "ABC had a long tradition of family comedies, so maybe they just needed one right then. Something about it just felt right."
Fast-forward nine years and "Modern's" family has only grown — literally, in the case of the youngest members Sarah Hyland, Nolan Gould, Ariel Winter and Rico Rodriguez, who went through their teen years on-screen — but also in the size of the cast itself. Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria (Sofia Vergara) welcomed a son in the fourth season, making him (Jeremy Maguire) and Lily (now played by Aubrey Anderson-Emmons), the daughter Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) adopted in the pilot, the second generation of the show's child actors.
"'Modern Family's' celebration of family…has shaped a social and political landscape and impacted viewers' lives in ways that few series have."
Gary Newman
Levitan and Lloyd both point to their cast as a major reason the show has been so successful (with 22 Emmy wins for the series, its cast and crew to date). "We were delighted and surprised to find out some of the special talents that our cast had, and we put them to good use in the show," Lloyd says. "Jesse's a good singer; Eric's a good drummer; Ty [Burrell] can do anything physical — you can put him on this funky duck thing where he's sweeping up the kitchen, and we have to do this tomorrow, and somehow he's able to do it. Sofia's a natural clown — she does more things with her voice, little dialect things, over the years. These are bounties that just opened up to us."
What has been important to the show, therefore, is finding a healthy balance of storytelling to consistently allow each cast member a chance to shine in individual moments, as well as to bring them together in "big group stories" for milestone moments from graduations to simple family dinners. "That goes back to the pilot," explains Lloyd. "When we screened the pilot for people, they got so excited when they found out everybody we were following was part of one big unit. That still happens — that excitement for our audience and for us when we get everybody together. There's a great energy that comes from that."
It isn't enough for that energy to be light and funny, though: it must also be able to deliver an emotional punch.
"We like to make sure all of the characters get emotional moments because that is really where you earn the loyalty of the audience. We learned that early on," Lloyd says. "It's a little bit easier to dismiss a character who's just known as being funny by doing x, y, z, but if they surprise you by having a little bit of an insecurity over something or a vulnerability in some way, then the audience really takes them into their heart."
Although the show has already told 200 stories of family antics, it is not suffering from a shortage of ideas. After all, the writers mine from their own lives — Lloyd, for example, used an experience catching his son alone in his room with a girl for a memorable moment between Phil (Burrell) and Luke (Gould), while Levitan says he was inspired to have Haley (Hyland) get kicked out of college after a friend's son got caught drinking at a party and was expelled.
"Years ago Chris and I just started writing something that was personal and about our lives, and at a certain point, when we decided for example to have a gay couple with a kid, I remember saying, 'Well, there goes Middle America.' But this is what felt real, so let's write it, and we proceeded," Levitan says. "I feel like we can pretty much tackle anything now!"

Wisconsin Students Design T-Shirts to Signify GLOBE Team Spirit
Kohler High School in Kohler, Wisconsin offers participation in the GLOBE Program as an academic, extra-curricular activity. Through GLOBE, students learn how the atmosphere affects them and their environment and apply these findings to their daily lives. GLOBE Teacher Ms. Jessie Good stated, "GLOBE is a scholarly program in our high school that attracts students who are academically motivated and are interested in global environmental issues."
Teams of sophomore and junior College Preparatory Biology students collect GLOBE Atmosphere data daily, while junior and senior College Preparatory Chemistry, Advanced Honors Biology AP, and College Preparatory Physics students collect Hydrology data during the fall and spring for a project called "Testing the Waters." Students participate of their own accord, taking scientific measurements during their lunch break each day and meeting once a week during the lunch hour to enter their measurements into the GLOBE database, in order to "share their research with other GLOBE students all over the world."
Each year students write an article for the local newspaper explaining the Program and their interest in environmental issues. The students in the "Testing the Waters" program meet with students from other schools to share hydrology data each May at a "Testing the Waters" county forum. This year a student from the "Testing the Waters" team completed storm drain stenciling in the Village of Kohler for his Eagle Scout award.
Participation in daily scientific research brings GLOBE students together as a team, similar to an array of athletic teams formed at Kohler High. The tradition behind the GLOBE t-shirts (pictured above) was initiated when students wanted their GLOBE team to have shirts similar to their sports programs. Each year, a new shirt is designed by the students. In cases where more than one design idea is submitted, students vote to choose their favorite GLOBE t-shirt design for that year.
Kohler School District has been a GLOBE school since the inception of the program in 1995 when the first fifty schools in the United States were selected to join. GLOBE Teacher Ms. Jessie Good stated, "What an exciting time that was when we started GLOBE!" At that time, Ms. Good's classroom had the only internet connected computer in the school, and the competition for the "GLOBE computer" was often incredibly intense. Over time, technological conditions on campus improved and today the school has 350 internet connected and wireless computers.
Kohler High School students are an inspiration as they use their personal time to employ GLOBE investigations, wearing their shirts as proud members of the GLOBE team. Thank you to all students, teachers, and community members who have assisted in keeping the program alive and thriving in Kohler, Wisconsin, for 16 productive years!

We know that winter can be painful to even think about. And, some of us would rather wait until the first snowfall to face the reality of its arrival. Unfortunately, that's never a good idea when it comes to winterizing your home. The reality is that fall is outdoor maintenance time, and once the leaves begin to change, it's time to face the music and get your home ready for the onslaught of winter weather before it appears. To help ensure you cover your bases, here are our top must-do fall outdoor maintenance tasks.
Store Summer Items
Any garden equipment, lawn chairs, barbeque equipment, and other summer items should be taken down/away around mid-season and stored until next year. Also, don't forget to drain any gas-powered tools before putting them away. We also recommend tidying up your shed and garage to prevent mould and rust from developing.
Clean Out Gutters
The combination of leaves, rain, and wind can create serious blockages throughout your eavestrough system. And without clearing them out, you could be facing bigger problems, like water damage, in the near future. Ensure the gutters are cleaned out and that your system and downspouts are functioning properly to divert water away from your home (we don't clean gutters ourselves, but we can delegate this task for you to the best of the best).
Apply Weather Stripping & Caulking
After the hot summer season, your weather stripping and caulking can begin to deteriorate, leaving gaps and cracks along the edges of your windows and doors. Make sure you address this before the first frost and winter dampness hits! Spend a moment inspecting and reapplying weather stripping or caulking to any areas that are prone to drafts to keep your home air-tight and comfortable. That way, you're better prepared for the colder seasons of the year and also get the most value out of your heating system.
Repair Walkways
Once the ground becomes blanketed in snow and ice, wobbly interlock and paths can become treacherous. If you have any broken or uneven pathways, stairs, or if your porch requires some maintenance, have them seen to now before they get buried in snow. Getting a professional handyman or renovator to ensure a smooth, safe way to access all entrances and exits on your property is essential to being prepared for emergencies – including safe escapes in the event of a fire and welcoming family over the Christmas holidays!
Check Ventilation
Leaves and sticks stuck in your laundry room exhaust? Or, has that tree overgrown and blocked an air vent? When that furnace is on and a sideways blizzard is occurring outside, the last thing you want to do is head out and make sure your ventilation is in working order. We're talking about exhaust pipes, intake vents and the like, which work to ensure fresh, clean air enters your home and stale old air is filtered out. Otherwise, you could encounter various health and wellness issues, and nobody wants that!
Prepare Your Garden
Finally, if you have shrubs and trees in your yard, now's the time to trim them and apply burlap to buffer them from the weather. Don't forget to cut any overhanging branches over sidewalks and areas of your home to prevent injury or damage to your roof and surrounding structures.
For a maintenance-free fall season, give us a call at To Do-Done instead of tackling that large list of tasks on your own! Our team of experts can take care of just about any outdoor maintenance projects you need – big or small. We also perform interior maintenance and complete renovations. Contact us today to learn more!

The Earth Lord is a War Mode Post-Sharpener superboss. The Earth Lord is a War Mode Post-Moon Lord,
it is a harder version of Moon Lord but more powerful, deadly, and ludicrously more challenging. He is worse in Expert Mode. Earth Lord is presumably the final boss of the Earthen Disaster event and is one of the main antagonists of Terraria. He is summoned by completing the Earthen Disaster event, by using Earthen Sigil, or by killing 1,000,000 enemies. He has multiple attacks, which currently deal very high damage to the player. The Earth Lord also summons his minions, such as his eyes. Earth Lord has a similar Al as the Moon Lord, but faster, challenging, murderous, and more powerful. After the completion of the Earthen Disaster event, or the use of the Earthen Sigil, or after killing 1,000,000 enemies the message at the bottom-left corner of the screen will say "Your fate has been sealed..." instead of "Impending doom approaches...". and the player has 30 seconds to prepare before Earth Lord spawns. During the 30 seconds, the screen will go in and out of focus, exactly how the screen looks before facing the Moon Lord. Instead of the screen turning completely black while Moon Lord is alive, The screen completely turns into a dark blue tint while Earth Lord is alive. While the Earth Lord is alive, the player is inflicted with Creative Shock for an infinite amount time until the boss or the player is defeated. The Creative Shock debuff is inflicted by Earth Lord similar to the one inflicted from the Old One's Army and prevents any player from mining or placing any blocks. If the player strays too far away or teleports away from Earth Lord, Earth Lord will teleport, in the same way how Moon Lord teleports. The Earth Lord also has a hit counter. The hit counter goes up to 50 / 25, and if the player gets hit 50 / 25 times, the player will instantly die and Earth Lord will despawn. Attempting to instakill one of Earth Lord's parts by using a butcher function from Cheat Sheet Mod or by using a weapon that deals infinite damage, One of Earth Lord's parts will only take 0 or 1 damage or 2 for critical hits instead, unless worthy if the player has obviously the same name as the developer or user. Earth Lord has a massive bulk of HP in total. When defeated, Earth Lord will drop special items, and he will always drop the 3 guaranteed items, such as the Portal Gun, The Death Rose, and some Earthenite, along with one of the guaranteed nine (9) drops and a joke item. The message will also appear in the chat on the screen saying "The enemy souls are possessed by ethereal spirits...". This means that Post-Earth Lord enemies and bosses are now unlocked.If all players die during the battle, Earth Lord guarantees a despawn. It can be simply re-summoned by completing the Earthen Disaster events again, or spawned naturally by killing all 1000000 enemies, or by using the Earthen Sigil. Note that the Earthen Sigil item is always reusable, so Earth Lord may be summoned any number of times and the item is NOT consumable at all. It can also be summoned by using NPC spawnesr too. Earth Lord is also easily farmable. To farm the Earth Lord, the player must build a flat and safe arena with Water Candles and any other item that increases enemy spawn rate.
The player should definitely be very well equipped both physically and mentally before taking him on. Note that the player should always need all pre-Earth Lord buff potions too.

Earth Lord is extremely challenging, even in Expert Mode. He behaves exactly like Moon Lord, but faster, powerful, eerie, insane, and more challenging. When summoned, the entire background turns completely dark blue. While Earth Lord has the exact same Al as Moon Lord, He has the same characteristics as Moon Lord. Earth Lord has 4 additional attacks, which is shooting Earth Lasers, Phantom Disintegration Bolts, Eye Phantoms, and Healing Leech Clots, which are somewhat impossible to dodge. When he is first spawned, all of his eyes are open. After 1 second when he is first spawned, He immediately closes them. He is able to use all of his attacks in his arsenal. Most of his attacks are very hard to dodge and outrun. As Earth Lord's HP drops low every time, Earth Lord gets angrier a little bit. The additional parts that he has now are 2 extra eyes on his head and 2 obvious portals above his hands that are vulnerable to all types of damage. When the portals are defeated, they are invulnerable for 25 / 20 seconds. After the 25 / 20 seconds have passed, the portals regenerate full health back and they now become vulnerable to all types of weapons. The portals summon their own respective minions. The only way to defeat Earth Lord is players to get equipped very well and build a safe and careful arena. The player also needs buff potions too, because Earth Lord is really insane, powerful, and challenging.
Behaviour (Hands and Head)
The hand eyes take six (6) seconds to open, the head eyes take eighteen (18) seconds to open. When the head eyes and/or the hand eyes open, the eyes shoot Earth Lasers. they deal 560 damage (780 in Expert Mode). The lasers also have a 0.01% chance of dealing 1000 damage. When the middle head eye opens, Earth Lord will shoot an Earthen Deathray that sweeps towards the ground (darkgreen version of Phantasmal Deathray shot by Moon Lord), dealing 9999 damage (19998 in Expert Mode), leading to guaranteed death. If touched, it will instantly kill players, with the special death message that appears in the chat at the bottom-left corner of the screen saying "[Player] got terminated.". When the hand -ye(s) and the head eye(s) are defeated, the hand(s) and the head becomes a thorny crevice and the eye(s) will come out. which are True Earth Eyes. The hands also have 2 portals above him. These portals summon their own minions respectively. The minions summoned by the portal(s) don't home the player unless the world is in Expert Mode. The portals are immune to damage when they reach 0 HP for 25 / 20 seconds.
Behaviour (True Earth Eye)
The True Earth Eye(s) also shoot projectiles and periodically summon minions, such as Earthen Spheres (phantom versions of True Earth Eye(s). When the Earthen Spheres are all in line, They simply manage to summon Eye Phantoms (dark blue versions of Earthen Sphere(s) that attempt to home the player. The Eye Phantoms home on the player for 6 / 12 seconds before they fade away. They are invulnerable enemies. True Earth Eyes are also capable of shooting out a miniature version of the Earthen Deathray that sweeps towards the ground all the way to the air, which is called Earthen Deathray Mini. The Eye Phantoms sporadically shoot Phantom Disintegration Bolts, while the Earthen Spheres, True Earth Eyes, and the other minions or Earth Lord itself shoot Earthen Bolts. Note that some of the attacks always stay in one position and hit the ground (or even go through solid blocks) True Earth Eyes can also spam Earth Lasers too. The eyes do not function in Multiplayer.
Behaviour (The Tentacle and the Earth Leech Clots)
He also shoots out a tentacle. The tentacle inflicts the Earth Bite debuff if touched. The Earth Bite debuff prevents the player from regenerating through lifesteal effects and the consumption of healing items. The Earth Bite debuff lasts for fifteen (15) / thirty (30) seconds. Throughout the entire fight, the Earth Lord will regularly extend a "tentacle" that latches onto nearby players. It will then drain the player's life (the player does not lose health from this) in the form of green particles (Earth Leech Clots) that travel along the tentacle. The particles are destructible and if a particle successfully reaches the Earth Lord, one of its body parts (any that have not been defeated yet) will regain 10000 / 20000 . The Earth Lord will drain three (3) particles before stopping occasionally. The tentacle will not go through blocks, and the mouth is always positioned above the player so that it can extend the tentacle, even resorting to being directly behind the player if they are in a 2 by 3 space. If there are no blocks above the player, the mouth will always attempt to be about 10-20 blocks above them. The particles do not attack the player at all, unless in Expert Mode. Upon destruction, the Earth Leech Clots explode into 4 Earth Lasers that make a + shape.
Behaviour (Healing Leech Clots)
It is wednesday, my dudes
Behaviour (Parts and Life Regeneration)
If one of Earth Lord's parts are below 50% life are not damaged for 5 seconds, One of its parts will regenerate 2500 / 5000 HP back every second. When the hand eyes and the head eyes are progressively defeated, the mouth becomes vulnerable to all weapons. When the mouth is defeated, The core becomes finally vulnerable to all weapons. When the core is defeated, Earth Lord is entirely defeated. Earth Lord has the same death sound and animation as Moon Lord. In Expert Mode, When the core's health drops to 0 the first time, Earth Lord will regenerate 1000000 back and the fight will stay on until he is defeated. When the core's health drops to 0 the second time, Earth Lord is entirely defeated, Earth Lord dies in a same way as Moon Lord, and the message will appear in the chat saying "The enemy souls are are possessed by ethereal spirits...".
In Expert Mode
- Earth Lord is a little bit faster and more insane.
- The hit counter is lowered to twenty-five (20) hits.
- HP increased greatly.
- Defense increased to 1370 in total (Total defense of eyes, hands, a mouth, and a core).
- Earth Leech Clots now deal 150 damage to the player.
- Earth Lord's opponents now deal double/triple the damage.
- Earth Lasers now travel through blocks and deal 780 damage.
- The Earthen Deathray is now fired at two (2) directions. The second deathray is slower.
- Earthen Eyes now explode into fifteen (15) Eye Phantoms.
- Minions that are summoned by the portal can now home the player until they are defeated.
- The 3 central top head eyes will shoot 3 lasers at the same time.
- If one of Earth Lord's parts that are below 75% life are not damaged for 5 seconds, One of its parts will absolutely regenerate 5000 back every second.
- True Earth Eyes can now shoot more lasers and projectiles.
- Earth Lord will now shoot two (2) tentacles between the teeth.
- When the core's health drops to zero (0), The core will regenerate 1000000 back and a special exclusive quote will appear in the chat saying "Hehehehehehe! I GUARANTEE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO DEFEAT ME!!!". When the core's health drops to 0 the second time, Earth Lord is entirely defeated.
- Earth Lord spawns in the same way as Moon Lord. When the Earthen Disaster event is completed, or the Earthen Sigil item is used, or after 100000 enemies are killed, Earth Lord spawns in 30 seconds, and the screen will blur just like the Pre-Moon Lord screen.
- After the 30 seconds have passed, the screen will slowly flash into a faint white background, same as Moon Lord's white flash, and then, the entire background will turn dark blue whilst Earth Lord is alive.
- Dies like Moon Lord.
Notes & Tips
- This superboss is INSANELY HARD to defeat, even in Normal Mode, but there are quite some simple ways to easily annihilate this enemy.
- Being one of the most challenging opponents, Earth Lord serves 4 additional attacks compared to Moon Lord.
- Earth Lord also appears to be a buffed version of Moon Lord.
- To defeat and outrun Earth Lord, You must first attack the two (2) portals, the head (3 head eyes) go next, the hand eyes go second, the teeth goes third, and finally, the core goes fifth and last. When the core is finally defeated, Like Moon Lord, Earth Lord will die in a same way as Moon Lord and will then explode into a pile of bones, After Earth Lord is defeated, The fight will end, and will reward the player with special loot, Then a quote pops up from the screen saying "The enemy souls are possessed by ethereal spirits...".
- You should have a Nurse directly to your spawn point, so you can quickly get instant healing and avoid some of his attacks. Note that the Rod of Discord is a good alternative for teleporting to the Nurse and dodging enough of his attacks, but be wary of the Chaos State debuff. However, The taken life from the Chaos State debuff does not count as a hit. If you drop to low health, rinse and repeat that step multiple times.
- You should have a flat arena with a solid roof/ceiling on the top somewhat near your spawn point, the ceiling somewhat protects the player from Earth Lord's types of lasers and deathrays that deal high damage. The ceiling stops one of Earth Lord's deathrays from sweeping to the player for high damage. Asphalt Blocks are also a great alternative for the arena.
- The safest way to defeat the Earth Lord is to make a ceiling on top of the arena with some platforms and make sure your arena does not have traps. But, be wary of his Earthen Deathray, because the Deathray leads to guaranteed death, dealing 9999 / 19998 damage. Try not to go too far or fast, or otherwise Earth Lord will guarantee to teleport. In fact, Earth Lord will NEVER despawn unless the player dies or the world is in Expert Mode.
- You arena needs to be safe enough by placing alot of platforms, blocks, making a solid ceiling, having a Nurse, placing Teleporters, and flattening the ground. Honey will slow the player's movement if not careful.
- The Grassy Vileshard is very effective against the Earth Lord, due to the weapon that manages to go through blocks and dealing immense damage. Disastrous Pitchforks are also used for defeating all of his parts which deal enough damage.
- There is also another high-damage pre-Earth Lord weapon that deals 578 damage, which is the Multiverse Rage. Note that the sword's projectiles can go through blocks.
- Mounts are disabled while this boss is alive.
- You may need a Magic/Ice Mirror, or a Cell Phone, or a large supply of Recall Potions, and you also need a Rod of Discord, or a large supply of Teleportation Potions for healing or emergency cases.
- The player's life amount should have at least between 900-1400 HP.
- Travelling to another realm when Earth Lord is alive causes Earth Lord to enrage more and his stats will be severely, extremely buffed. Earth Lord's total defense will be buffed to 99999 and all of his attacks will deal 99999 damage if the player is in another realm. Those stats can become impossible.
- Also, Earth Lord has 2 alternate portals above his hands. Earth Lord summons his own minions anyhow, so be extremely careful.
- Attempting to instantly kill one of Earth Lord's parts with an absolutely overpowered weapon or something that deals infinite damage, Earth Lord will only take 0 or 1 damage (2 for critical hits) instead, with a special quote appearing in the chat on screen saying "YOU THINK YOU CAN BUTCHER A GREAT LORD!?!".
- The player is guaranteed one of the nine (9) drops. 3 for magic, 2 for melee, 2 for ranged, 1 for summoner, and 1 for throwing classes.
- If you are intended to use the 666 Potion and the 666 (debuff) is active, all of Earth Lord's attacks and defense are multiplied by 666 and they can instakill the player (Post-Earth Lord). Note that all of Earth Lord's total defense will be severely buffed to 622710 / 1245420 in total, making Earth Lord take only 0 or 1, or 2 for critical hits instead, much like the Dungeon Guardian.
- Try to battle Earth Lord without equipping any form of armor, accessories, and buffs.
- The challenge difficulty is extremely hard to insanely hard.
- Try to battle Earth Lord with the 666 (debuff) active.
- The challenge difficulty is impossible, because of the defense and the attack damage having an extreme buff.
- Try to battle Earth Lord by using a weak Copper Shortsword.
- The challenge difficulty is impossible because that weapon is weak.
- Try to battle all 100 Earth Lords at once by using any weapon.
- The challenge difficulty is insanely hard to nearly impossible.

- Earth Lord can also be known as Earthlord, EL (Earth Lord's initial), or Godly Fate.
- Earth Lord could also be known as "Unseen incarnation of Lord" itself.
- In previous versions, Earth Lord's before-spawn message was previously called "Impending death approaches...", until it got renamed to "A godly fate approaches your essence...".

Lore & Origin
The Earth Lord is the great master of the Earth and he is also the great, ancient father of Moon Lord and Cthulhu himself. The Earth Lord always protects his two sons from ravagers attacking them and he also roams the Earth by going through and detecting comets, meteors, and fallen stars from brutal destruction of the planet. But one day, The Earth Lord sent out his son, Moon Lord, to give revenge on the grand hero for destroying the celestial beings and structures, but the revenge failed and Earth Lord is very angry about the defeat of Moon Lord and then the Earth Lord himself wants to end the grand hero for defeating his own son. A long triennium ago, The nasty unseen spiritual incarnation had sobered up the Earth Lord so he can get a heavy curse from the spirit. He eventually had portals generating over his two hands so he can be incredibly tough and powerful beast. The godfather of the Earth Lord refers to himself to try to make the multiverse and the regiment of the space even better. Earth Lord had existed for 4.9 billion years! Cthulhu and the Earth Lord both want revenge on the grand hero, but it would all fail, due to the grand hero's bravery and legendariness, compared to the power. Due to how the angriness of the reincarnated Earth Lord is, Earth Lord always had his own father. Neptune Lord and the Earth Lord decided to join the statement about ending the legendary grand hero similar to how it works, but the plan would tremble and collapse into planetary chaos. A few millennia ago, Earth Lord snuck up one of his plans in outer space trying to make the embodiment of Cthulhu li'sfe happy and calm, but that was a long time ago. When the Earth was formed, Earth Lord's father never forgets how mischievous and naughty Earth Lord was. After they plotted about his dreams, Earth Lord decided to become the great, forgotten beast of all time. One day, a mischievous and indestructible comet tempered the Earth Lord and he became an any and the least-to-most destructive beast and the universe would believe in Earth Lord because he uses his true powers to protect the planet, but instead, The Neptune Lord had to take Moon Lord to Earth Lord for his power exams, number of attacks, life, care, and strength. If it wasn't for the Earth Lord and his two sons, The embodiment of Cthulhu's life would have been extinct long ago.
