This room. Wow. I fear it's going to be trouble. There's something odd about it. Like it was a room that wasn't originally starting out as the room it is today. The room was wallpapered but the walls were wavy and one of them moved/rippled when touched
The wallpaper would not come off of whatever the panels of this wall were. So this will be a job for my contractor. I want these walls gone and sheet rock up in their place as well as remodel the cabinet. The cabinet just seems crudely built and especially around the water heater. See what I mean?
The water heater placement has the drain behind the lip of the base of the closet, which means that when there's a problem eventually, that it can't be drained by attaching a water hose to it. I'd rather deal with it now while all the construction and destruction is happening. In here, I want to have nice walls, paint the vanity, replace the shower door, update the shower head and knobs, replace the toilet, remodel the closet/water heater area, remove the brass, and just do lots of updating in here. Hopefully there's nothing too scary under these walls…. 🙂

Straight From The Heart – Pretty Palampur
While I write this I have a constant watch on the time as I have to get ready for work but I cannot help and reminisce my short and sweet weekend retreat to Palampur. I haven't been to Palampur before and the only way I had known about its existence is through an old movie called "Raja Hindustani" where Amir Khan was a taxi drive in Palampur. Remember ? Talking about the nearby places I have some vague memories of Yol cantonment as well as my father was posted there and on and off I hear some stories about that place from my mother. I was very little then so I don't remember any of it but I do trust my mother. The recent addition to Palampur association would be my very close friend who is from Palampur with the latest being this trip to Palampur. I guess the little universe conspired very well with all its forces so that I could witness the untouched beauty of pretty Palampur.
I along with a friend Akanksha who blogs at Direct Dil Se took the bus to Palampur from Kashmiri Gate ISBT. When it comes to bus journey I am always a little apprehensive, blame it to the popular bus incidents that have happened over the time in north. I am always a little less concerned about comfort and more about safety. We boarded the bus and to my surprise I felt safe. You get that feeling that its going to be alright and I got that same feeling. The bus was comfortable too. We reached on time and I can now confidently say that I can board that bus alone as well. If you are wondering what was I doing in Palampur, to answer that I was on a blogging assignment in Palampur with a bunch of fellow bloggers. I clearly had the time of my life. Paragliding in Bir has to be the highlight of the trip.
What I liked about Palampur
Palampur is not commercialized. I am not against crowd and tourists but my idea of a getaway is a little different and I like it more with nature and less with people. Remember how the mall road of Shimla looks, how the Kufri landscape looks Palampur is nothing like that. If truth is to be told then that there isn't much that you can do in Palampur except enjoying leisurely and that's probably why it doesn't attract a lot of tourists.
Palampur is raw and untouched. The fact that it is not commercialized makes the natural beauty unscathed, the same reason why I like Kanatal so much.
Read here: Why Kanatal should be your next weekend getaway !
The locals of Palampur are very warm and hospitable. For the matter of fact I can say that for all the mountain people. They are the most humble version of homo sapiens alive right now. Be it Uttarakhand or Himachal I have received the warmest of reception at either of the places. They are very passionate about what they do, for instance my host for this recent trip was one lively gentleman. There was a thought behind everything in his property, he possibly has an explanation for the placement of every brick and every single stone in his property.
I love to see people pursuing their passion and mountain people never fail to amaze me in this criteria. They go out of their way to help you and make you feel home. Recently I went on a trek to Nagtibba and when we trekked down we reached before the schedule and we had to wait for our car. While we were waiting a local family invited us to their house, they offered us tea and we had such a good time. They were not our host neither we were going to write about them that they were obliged to be nice. I think being nice comes to them by default.
I have come back with a bag full of stories from Palampur. While they may take a while to get published this small post straight from my heart just couldn't wait. Stay tuned for more stories.

Sheffield and Beyond!
With the new Woodhead Tunnel complete, the fully modernised Manchester to Sheffield line was opened throughout in 1954, although a short stretch had opened two years earlier. Using a 1,500 volts dc supply and new locomotives built by British Railways at Gorton, Britain's first overhead-electrified main line was bound to be a success. This was partially true as the coal traffic began to run much more freely than it had done previously. However, passenger traffic would only last for sixteen years when all services to Sheffield Victoria were transferred to the former Midland Railway station in the city. As road traffic grew and the mills closed, the surviving coal trains became shorter and more sporadic in operation. The Woodhead Route had apparently served its purpose and the line was closed in 1981 amid much controversy.
Returning to Sheffield Victoria Station, trains from Manchester had a choice of destinations to which they could head. Before the arrival of the London Extension in 1899, most trains would continue on towards Grimsby via Worksop, Retford and Gainsborough, with others cutting off outside Retford to head into Lincoln. Grimsby docks were one of the country's largest fish producers, and the Great Central's fish trains were well known. John G. Robinson even designed a class of 4-6-0 locomotives, which were nicknamed 'fish engines'. So busy were the docks that the Great Central Railway opened a new port at nearby Immingham that it linked with Grimsby via an electric tramway.
Other routes from Sheffield went to Doncaster, Wakefield, Mansfield and Hull, but it was the line to Beighton and a small town called Annesley that held the most importance. In 1892, the Great Northern Railway connected with the MSLR at Annesley, allowing the latter to run coal trains into Nottingham. The railway company's Chairman, Sir Edward Watkin, had other ideas as Annesley was to be the starting point for his new line to London. A line that would go through Nottingham, Leicester and Rugby, before linking up with Watkin's Metropolitan Railway at Quainton Road for the run into the Capital.

Participants on our coaching weeks often feel they must bring works 'performance-ready'. Sometimes they feel too embarrassed to play a half learned piece, or perhaps they want a dress rehearsal for some forthcoming exam or event.
True, dress rehearsals are always a good idea, the more the merrier. But remember, you'll probably benefit most when you know the notes (more or less!) and there is still quite a bit of finishing to do. After all, the purpose of coming all the way to Montemuse is to learn something, not to show what you can do. If the piece is 'fully prepared' and something is not quite right, it will be VERY hard to undo a habit.
As a much respected professor I know likes to comment, "You can't unbake a cake".

The House Next Door
A true story wiether you choose to believe it or not.
When I was about 12 my mother moved us to a little town in Pa called Endevor. We lived in a nice white house on route 666. Next door to us on the left as a small trailor, to the right a shell of a burnt down house. The first week that we were there everything was nice. It was summer, I had made a friend and the house was coming along. One night however I had woke to the sound of a girl crying. Thinking it was my baby sister I got up to have a look. My sister, Grace was sleeping peacefully, and the crying had gottin louder. I looked around for the source and found it was coming from outside my window. My window was on the righ side of our house which made me very confused. No one lived to the right of us. I went my window to look and saw that a light was on in the upstairs window of burnt house. Frightened I ran back to bed and hid, but the crying would not stop. The next day I was outside search for some reason for the nightly activity. Suddenly a little girl in a pink dress came around the corner of the house holding a jump rope. She watched me for a moment then walked away. I went after her, but could not find her any where. That night the crying happened again. Being the quistive girl I am, I went to my window to see if the light in the house next door was on. This time I saw the house up in flames. I never went near the house next door agian.

The Ethics of Peer Review: 'Open' Reviewing (4/5)
(May 17th, 2016) Peer review is at the heart of research communication. However, the process is far from perfect and many problems have been identified. Among them, ethical questions about the responsible conduct of reviewers who can wield considerable power behind a cloak of anonymity.
There have been calls to clearly define the ethical responsibilities of reviewers and to encourage their adherence to oaths (see Part 3). Others have called for reforms of the entire peer review process to address its failings (see Part 2). Here, we will consider a combination of both these approaches – ethical oaths that promote changes in the way peer review is conducted.
"A letter from the frustrated author of a journal paper"
This was the title of a satirical editorial in The Journal of Systems and Software on the potentially explosive tensions within authors when confronted with what they perceive to be abusive peer reviewers. In the letter, the 'frustrated author' is re-submitting the "re-re-re-revised revision of our paper… We have again rewritten the entire manuscript from start to finish… Hopefully, we have suffered enough now to satisfy even you and the bloodthirsty reviewers. Because it is fairly clear that your anonymous reviewers are less interested in the details of scientific procedure than in working out their personality problems and sexual frustrations by seeking some kind of demented glee in the sadistic and arbitrary exercise of tyrannical power over hapless authors like ourselves who happen to fall into their clutches."
Nevertheless, when considering "this batch of reviewers, 'C' was clearly the most hostile, and we request that you not ask him to review this revision. Indeed, we have mailed letter bombs to four or five people we suspected of being reviewer 'C', so if you send the manuscript back to them, the review process could be unduly delayed." The 'frustrated author's' satirical letter continues in similar vein, combining insults and threats against the journal editor and reviewers. Fortunately, the extreme frustrations of real authors rarely result in such violent retaliations against reviewers! Instead, some frustrated authors have called for major changes to the peer review process in order to avoid any further aggravation.
'The Reviewer's Oath'
Bioinformatician Mick Watson proposed 'The Reviewer's Oath' in reaction to a really bad review of one of his papers: "I was unfortunate to receive this morning a negative review of one of the papers we have under review. This review is terrible! It contains so many factual inaccuracies that the reviewer cannot possibly have read the paper, our software tutorial, the code nor the documentation. It contains ridiculous, unsupported conjecture. It is just a really terrible review, and I can only conclude the reviewer is trying to block the publication of our paper." He laments that he and his co-authors spent months working on this paper, and this is the review they received. "Words fail me! Don't they deserve more?!"
Watson says that we ought to reverse the whole perspective of peer reviewing. Instead of criticising manuscripts and looking for negative points, maybe it would be better if reviewers took a more positive attitude and asked themselves how they might help the authors to improve their manuscript. But to achieve this, he says, we need to know the identity of the reviewers. "Frankly, reviews that are simply designed to block publication of papers border on scientific misconduct, and those who give them should be publicly identified. Removing anonymity is important! Open review is important! It gives the reviewer a different perspective. I know, because I practice it. It makes you more constructive. It makes you think 'How can I help?' rather than 'How can I criticise?'"
Therefore, he proposes that reviewers should reveal their identity to authors and sign up to his 4-point "reviewer's oath":
"I, the reviewer, promise:
i) to not hide behind a screen of anonymity
ii) to be open and honest with you (the authors) at all times
iii) to be constructive in my criticism
iv) within the rules given to me by the journal, to assist you in every way I ethically can to get your manuscript published, by providing criticism and praise that is valid and relevant."
The Open Peer Review Oath – Ambassadors for Open Science
Open science is a movement that seeks to ensure that the results and the data of scientific research are, and continue to be, available to all. In the paper calling for "An Open Science Peer Review Oath", the authors explain how they met at the 2014 'AllBio' workshop on 'Open Science & Reproducibility Best Practice' and discussed ways of using ethics to promote open science practices. They propose a peer-review oath and accompanying manifesto to help increase the transparency of the scientific method and the reproducibility of research results. These have been designed to offer guidelines to enable reviewers (with the minimum friction or bias) to follow and apply open science principles. "Introducing the oath and manifesto at the stage of peer review will help to check that the research being published includes everything that other researchers would need to successfully repeat the work."
Since peer review is the lynchpin of the publishing system, they say that encouraging the community to consciously (and conscientiously) uphold these principles should help to improve published papers, increase confidence in the reproducibility of the work and, ultimately, provide strategic benefits to authors and their institutions. "Importantly, peer review happens at a personal, rather than institutional, level and is carried out by individuals; it is therefore an ideal mechanism for engaging most researchers, given that all scientists peer review or are peer reviewed."
In practice, the authors looked at how they could build upon the existing peer review oaths (including the Peer Reviewer's Oath (see Part 3), the Reviewer's Oath (above), and 'My Reviewer Oath'.
Their main amendment has been through the addition of a new declaration, "I will be an ambassador for open science" and they recommend that this should be included in review preambles. For it to be successful, they note that reviewers should "follow the spirit of the statement throughout their reviews", even though it may involve a little additional work. The full publication history of their article, reviewers comments (and identities) are provided online. In their first version, they presented a 17 point oath together with a manifesto. In his own open review, Jonathan Eisen (an editor of the open access journal, PLOS Biology) explained that their oath was far too long. After heavy revision, the final version now contains just four principles:
Principle 1: I will sign my name to my review
Principle 2: I will review with integrity
Principle 3: I will treat the review as a discourse with you; in particular, I will provide constructive criticism
Principle 4: I will be an ambassador for the practice of open science
The final version of "A Manifesto with Guidelines for open science reviewers" makes 8 points that closely follow those expressed in the previous oaths, starting with – "I will work with you to help improve your research, as I believe that peer review should be an open, supportive and collaborative process. I will therefore sign my review and state my identity."
The final part of this series of articles looks at how the principles of open science may signal the end of the traditional peer review process.

Start Over Using a Timebox
I was refactoring an internal application used in automated testing. It's one of those tools that was written quickly, but inevitably outgrew it's original purpose. I extracted a lot of hidden concepts and made many of the features explicit. Then I was in the code-behind facing down three timers, a handful of conditional loops, and cross-thread invocations.
I was unable to make progress. I wanted to start from scratch. But that's a great way to lose context, to throw away the hard work that's hidden in the original, and an opportunity to miss a feature. So I asked my coworker, Chris, what he thought. He said to timebox a session in "starting over." Take two hours to rewrite the parts I was having trouble with and see what happens.
So, I created a private branch, threw away all the code-behind, and started experimenting. Two hours later, I was satisfied with the commands and made some improvements over my original changes. But, I found an implicit bit of WPF dispatcher magic that was actually very critical to the functionality of this application. And I failed to fix it, twice.
The timebox was a life-saver. I hadn't committed to rewriting this part of the application. I didn't even realize it existed! Instead of getting in over my head and breaking the application or scrambling to fix or rollback the changes, I gained a working knowledge of the feature.
Now, I can schedule some time with the authors of the application or get some help from another developer that's an expert in this area and get some real work done.

Nearly equidistant between the bustle of Nice and the glitz of Monaco, the quiet peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat remains what locals call the last gem of the Côte d'Azur. The peninsula is part of the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals, a protected area jointly managed by France, Monaco and Italy, making it a prime spot for diving and whale and dolphin watching. On land, strict architectural guidelines have spared this pristine maritime village from overdevelopment common on the French Riviera. A walk along Cap Ferrat's rocky coastline or through its narrow streets reveals little more than sea views occasionally obscured by thick vines of jasmine, flowering oleander and bushes of pink bougainvillea.
Grand Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, one of the region's most celebrated hotels, occupies 17 acres (7 hectares) on the tip of the peninsula. Designed by Gustave Eiffel (of Eiffel Tower fame) in 1908, it has hosted the likes of Winston Churchill and Elizabeth Taylor, and continues to earn accolades such as the "Palace" distinction, which is exclusive to France and supersedes the five-star rating. But for all its fame and fortune, Cap Ferrat emanates an unassuming kind of elegance – one where glamour means sandals on sailboats and watching the sunset with a good glass of wine.
Surrounded by Mediterranean vistas and rolling gardens, you may find little reason to leave the Grand-Hôtel, but Cap Ferrat is well worth exploring. If you have only a weekend to spend, seek out the best of the area – and be sure to take time to enjoy the scenery.
Early afternoon, 1:00 pm: Board the glass funicular and ride down the jagged hillside to Club Dauphin. The 30s-era, infinity-edge swimming pool – Olympic size when it was constructed – is perched just above the Mediterranean shoreline. This may be Cap–Ferrat's best view, so opt for lunch at the restaurant or tapas and cocktails on the Lounge Terrace. Fight the urge to while away the afternoon in one of the plush white lounge chairs, and book a swimming lesson with Pierre Gruneberg. This legendary swim instructor has been teaching at the Grand Hôtel since 1951. His former clients include Somerset Maugham, Ralph Lauren, Elie Wiesel, Brigitte Bardot, a few Kennedys and Paul McCartney.
Photography Martin Morrell
Gruneberg is a living encyclopedia of Cap Ferrat history, with plenty of stories to tell as he perfects your swimming technique. He may even offer you a glimpse of his "Livre d'Or," which includes autographs from his famous clientele and drawings by frequent Club Dauphin visitors Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau.
If you are a strong swimmer and wish to skip the lesson, take the plunge during an afternoon diving excursion led by Cap Ferrat Diving. The local school is known for its fine instruction and knowledge of the area's best dive spots.
Evening, 8:00 pm: Choose a table on the terrace at the Michelin-starred Le Cap restaurant, where our Chef Yoric Tièche prepares French Mediterranean food with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The menu changes regularly, but highlights have included roast rack of Allaiton lamb in an olive and parsley crust, and sole with candied aubergines.

Morning, 7:30 am: Wake up early and follow the walking path that runs along the peninsula's shore. At this hour, you'll likely have the path to yourself, save a jogger or two. From Club Dauphin, turn left to head towards the small village of Cap Ferrat. When the path ends, wind your way to the heart of town for coffee at any of the restaurants lining the marina. (Hint: Take a map from the Concierge, as the roads in town can be tricky to navigate.)
If you turn right out of Club Dauphin, you're in for beautiful views of Villefranche-sur-Mer, a medieval village that was once the region's main port.
Late morning, 11:00 am: The Ephrussi de Rothschild Villa and Gardens alone are worth a visit to Cap Ferrat. Start in the gardens and follow the labyrinthine paths around the ponds, flower beds, sculptures and waterfalls that surround the early 20th-century home. Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild, who scrupulously oversaw the design and construction of the home and its gardens, was an avid traveller with a reputation for eccentricity. During her time in residence, the nine themed gardens were maintained by 30 men dressed in sailor uniforms.
Photography S. Lloyd
Don't be shy about ducking into the shady corners of the Japanese Garden or following narrow paths beneath flowering cacti in the Exotic Garden. All roads lead to the pièce de résistance: the French Garden and fountains that the Baroness designed herself.
You can enter the pink Italian Renaissance-style villa from the gardens and walk through the ornate marble reception hall to begin exploring the interior of the home. The apartments of Madame Ephrussi are a highlight, showcasing her sophisticated aesthetic and modern sensibilities regarding utility and comfort.
Afternoon, 12:30 pm: Stay for lunch at the villa's tea room and restaurant, which offers a light menu of salads, quiches and pastries. The interior of the restaurant was Madame Ephrussi's own dining room, a breezy, sun-filled space overlooking the Bay of Villefranche. If the weather is nice, take a seat on the terrace, which is shaded by a thick canopy of orange trees.
Late afternoon, 2:30 pm: The Villa Santo Sospir is one of Cap Ferrat's local secrets. The private estate was home to the socialite Francine Weisweiller, who quickly became close friends with writer, filmmaker and artist Jean Cocteau. Upon visiting Weisweiller at her Cap Ferrat estate, Cocteau remarked that her walls appeared bare and offered to paint a mural above her fireplace. Over 13 years, he adorned most of the villa's floors and walls with mosaics and frescos, prompting Picasso, also a frequent visitor, to add a bit of his own work. The home is a lesson in 50s-era art, but the real draw is guide Eric Hammer, who became Weisweiller's caretaker well before her death and remains the property manager today. Hammer's oral history of Santo Sospir, and the cast of characters entertained here, is as intriguing as Cocteau's work.
Photography Martin Morrell
Evening, 5:30 pm: See the Côte d'Azur from a different angle by chartering a sailboat for an evening cruise around the Lérins Islands, Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Cap Ferrat, Eze or Monaco. Take an evening swim in the Mediterranean before climbing back aboard to watch the sunset and dine on a gourmet picnic of French Riviera cuisine and regional wine.
Late morning, 11:00 am: Live music accompanies the scenery and Mediterranean cuisine during Sunday brunch at La Véranda (available during spring and autumn). Fuel up on fresh-caught fish and seasonal plates along with home-made pastries.
Afternoon, 1:00 pm: The medieval seaside village of Eze is less than 20 minutes from Cap Ferrat. Explore the narrow and well-preserved streets that climb the steep cliff to the ruins of a 12th-century castle and the Jardin Exotique d'Eze, a botanical garden on the Place du Général de Gaulle known for its varieties of succulents.
Skip the shopping in Eze – most of the boutiques caters to tourists. Instead, visit the Parfumerie Galimard, where you can tour the factory. Galimard's larger and better-known perfume house is in Grasse, but this smaller location has its own charm.
Evening, 7:30 pm: Finish your day in Eze with dinner at La Chèvre d'Or, a Michelin-starred restaurant, where the Chef Arnaud Faye celebrates the authenticity of an exceptional terroir, stretching from the rocky foothills of the Mercantour to the intense blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. His decadent menu is inspired from these contrasts, magnifies the products of the Riviera and the up-country.
If you are able to extend your stay at the Grand-Hôtel beyond the weekend, add one of these stops to your itinerary.
Saint-Paul de Vence
An hour's drive from Cap Ferrat, this picturesque village was favoured by artists such as Matisse, Léger and Chagall, who is buried in the town's cemetery. Spend the morning exploring the medieval walled city by foot, and duck into the church at the top of the hill.
Lunch at La Colombe d'Or restaurant is a feast for art lovers: The hotel has a history of hosting talented guests, many of whom traded their work for rooms. The restaurant alone boasts pieces by Picasso, Miró and Braque.
A visit to the nearby Maeght Foundation can fill an afternoon. The exquisite collection, which includes a Miró sculpture garden, is displayed in both indoor and outdoor spaces; plan to visit when the weather is fair.
This town on the Mediterranean is home to a marvellous Provençal market. Vendors pack up their stalls by 1:00 pm, so browse in the morning when fresh fruits, vegetables, olives, meats and cheeses are on full display. The covered market spans about two blocks in the centre of Old Town, positioning you for an easy walk to the Picasso Museum.
Formerly called the Grimaldi Museum in honour of the family who resided there during the 15th century, this chateau on the water was Picasso's home for six months in 1946. Among the 245 works in the collection, La Joie de Vivre and The Goat are the best-known.
Le Restaurant de Bacon on Cap d'Antibes is an unbeatable choice for lunch. The restaurant specialises in seafood, so select from the menu of fresh-caught fish.
Wine tours
Sail to Saint-Tropez for a day of wine tasting. This area produces some of the best wines in Provence, and several local vineyards offer tastings paired with gourmet lunches. If you'd rather see the region from above, travel by helicopter. Whether you sail or fly, plan for a full day.

Brass Body: My clan is extinct. Because I killed them.
Essentially Self-Made Orphan on a larger level, this is when a person is responsible for the death and destruction of their entire people. Likely to be part of a Bloodbath Villain Origin, and the one who does this often turns out to be a budding Omnicidal Maniac or a Straw Nihilist. Don't be surprised if There Is Another from the group who survives and looks to settle accounts somewhere down the line.
Similar to Hunter of His Own Kind, but tends to differ on several counts, including that Hunter of His Own Kind tends to be an ongoing trope currently in effect, with few if any signs that they will ever suceed in largely wiping out their own kind. (Also, they may simply be hunting evil members of their own kind or even an Evil Counterpart Race.) Like that trope, the slayer can be portrayed as quite differing degrees of depraved, himself, depending on just how bad his people were—or in some cases even heroic, if they were really, truly irredeemably evil, monstrously inhuman or otherwise completely unsympathetic. In any case, with this trope, the person carrying out the genocide has already succeeded and whatever is left of their people, if anything, is a tiny remnant at best.
See also Sole Survivor, Last of His Kind, Antagonistic Offspring. Often overlaps with Self-Made Orphan and/or The Purge. Compare and contrast with Hunter of His Own Kind, Boomerang Bigot, Where I Was Born and Razed and Category Traitor. A subtrope of Murder in the Family.
- In Naruto, we know from the start that Sasuke's older brother Itachi did this to his clan many years ago, sparing only Sasuke. Only much later do we find out why: Itachi was under orders to do so from Konoha (mainly Danzo), as his clan was planning a coup. And even then, Itachi didn't kill most of the clan Obito did. Obito was also the one who manipulated the circumstances that led to them planning the coup in the first place, engineering their demise.
- In Samurai Champloo, soldiers of the Matsumae domain sent to arrest the Ainu warrior Okuro believe that he did this to his own clan and also killed samurai from their clan. The truth is that Okuro's clan was wiped out by a disease and he attacked the samurai because he saw them burning the village to prevent the disease from spreading rather than trying to save the people.
- Cars the Pillar Man from Part 2 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure practically wiped out his own race when they opposed his goal of elevating their already powerful race to Ultimate Lifeform limits. He only spared his loyal follower Esidisi and two infants he would raise to become his servants.
- Eneru from One Piece destroyed his homeland, Birka, after getting his Shock and Awe powers.
- Wavess, the first major enemy of the Shonen Jump manga Stealth Symphony, proves to be this. She killed half the population of her mermaid tribe and sold the other half to the very pharmaceuticals that experimented on her and gave her power over liquid because she was angry that at how happy they were at the chance for some revenge when she was the one with the power.
- Fujimoto from Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea aspires to this — also overlaps with Kill All Humans and Transhuman Treachery.
- During the Future Trunks' Saga in Dragon Ball Super, Future Zamasu and Goku Black, who are the same person, are revealed to have singlehandedly slaughtered all of the other Kais in the twelve universes to keep them from stopping their plan to slaughter the mortal races. Despite the fact they wanted to rid the multiverse of the mortal races to let it be a paradise for the gods, they really didn't seem to have a problem with being the only gods to enjoy it.
- Attempted in Attack on Titan. The King's Will implanted into the Founding Titan is one half of a scheme between Karl Fritz and the Tybur Clan to eventually wipe out of their own people. King Fritz implanted his Will into the Founding Titan, so that none of his successors could use its power to prevent the eventual genocide of the Eldian people. Meanwhile, the Tybur Clan ruled over Marley from the shadows while all other Eldians were thrown into concentration camps and used as military fodder. Eren presents the first opportunity in a century to escape this fate.
- Lobo the Czarnaian killed the rest of his race with a biological weapon. As a high school science project. He gave himself an A.

- The ultimate goal of the somewhat terrifying Magnificent Bastard/Villain Protagonist Billy Butcher from The Boys is to kill everyone with Compound V in their system, thus ridding the world of supes altogether. It doesn't matter that Billy himself or all his best friends have been injected with Compound V, or that at this point so much of the world's population has been exposed to it that it's essentially become part of life in that world, Billy still is working towards that goal. Ultimately, he nearly goes through with it, and only the fact that he doesn't really want to kill all the people who've been unknowingly exposed to Compound V or his Morality Pet Wee Hughie stops him.
- Martian Manhunter's insane brother created a psychic plague that killed all the Martians. J'onn only survived because he did the psychic equivalent of cutting off an arm by severing his link to other Martians.
- With just three words, "No More Mutants" the mutant Scarlet Witch managed to reduce the mutant population from somewhere in the millions to little over 200. Some were depowered, some were killed (mostly due to their powers being vital to them) and the damage was not restricted to their home dimension, it was OMNIVERSAL.

- In the Star Wars movies, the former Jedi Darth Vader played a large part in the elimination of virtually all Jedi from The Empire.
- The Elric Saga: In the short story, The Dreaming City, Elric leads an attack on Imrryr, the capital of Melnibone, of which he is the rightful emperor.

- Doctor Who:
- The Doctor seemingly blew up his own planet during the Time War in a last ditch attempt to save the universe not only from the enemy Daleks, but also the increasingly destructive actions of his own people, the Time Lords. Thanks to the Timey-Wimey Ball this is actually Subverted. He didn't kill anyone, he simply thought he did, but actually sent the Time Lords to a pocket dimension.
- Davros arranged for the destruction of his own people, the Kaleds, by their mortal enemies, the Thals, when the former tried to stop his experiments.
- In the series closer "Journey's End" Dalek Caan manipulates the Doctor into causing the total destruction of the Daleks (for a while) after a trip through the time vortex forced him to have a Heel Realization.
- In Battlestar Galactica (1978), this is Baltar's endgame. He is a human who is a high ranking Cylon controller, and the Cylons are after the complete destruction of the humans. Note that this is a bit of a retcon from the original Battlestar Galactica movie; in that one Baltar, having betrayed humans to the Cylons in exchange for them guaranteeing the safety of his own world and his dominion over it, is summarily executed by the Cylons because their plan is to extinguish all humans.
- In Battlestar Galactica (2003), John Cavil, the oldest member of the second generation of Cylons, has committed genocide so frequently that he approaches Omnicidal Maniac territory. He not only started the war of extermination against the humans, but has wiped out more than half of his own race. He destroyed all the Daniel copies out of jealousy by poisoning their embryonic chambers as the clones were being developed. When a civil war breaks out among the Cylons, he pretends to desire a settlement, only to betray the other faction and resorts to wiping out all the Sixes, Twos, and Eights (minus Boomer) still in existence.
- Kamen Rider Drive has this in the form of Medic. Upon gaining the title of "Grim Reaper", she began silently exterminating Roidmudes who either act ruthlessly or act outside their jurisdiction. She eventually concludes that only a select few of the Roidmudes including herself and Heart should live. However, Heart stops her and reminds her that they're already a dying race with the Kamen Riders killing their kind.
- According to episode 76.1 of Comedy Death Ray Radio, this is what The Owls Of Ga'Hoole is about.
- In the Ravenloft module Curse of Strahd, Strahd von Zarovich's chamberlain Rahadin pulled this twice on his own people, the Dusk Elves, at the orders of Strahd. First he betrayed his original ruler Prince Haramun in favor of Strahd andhis father Barov when their lands were conquered and was made an honorary member of the royal family in return, and then years later after Strahd's would-be-bride Patrina was stoned to death by her own people before she could marry him Rahadin was ordered to hunt down and execute every female Dusk Elf so what remained of his race would die a slow death by being unable to breed.
- While suffering from a case of Amnesiac Dissonance, Tatsumaru from the second Tenchu game virtually destroys his own clan, leaving only a few survivors, including the two main characters.
- The King of Fighters: Because Gaidel refused to take part of Goenitz's plan of resurrecting Orochi, he manipulated Gaidel's daughter Leona into her Riot of the Blood mode and had her slaughter her whole clan.
- In Runescape, the War God, Bandos, got his start as a sadistic mortal warlord. He gradually wiped out tribe after tribe. He ultimately killed the god that protected his homeworld from asteroids both to claim the god's power and out of a deliberate desire to wipe out his entire species as a testament to his glory.
- In Strider 2, Strider Hien betrayed the Striders organization to join Grandmaster Meio, and his actions led to the group's total extermination...the Sole Survivor of which was Hiryu himself, now determined to complete the group's final assignment: hunt Meio down.
- Seath the Scaleless from Dark Souls was born an abomination without the scales that granted the other dragons immortality. Out of jealousy, he betrayed his own and sided with Lord Gwyn in the war against his brethren, leading to the extinction of the Everlasting Dragons.
- In the evil ending of Infamous Second Son, Delsin returns home with his concrete powers to save the rest of the Akomish tribe, only for the tribe to reject him. Having seen his rampage through Seattle on the news, they now view him as a disgrace to the tribe, and would rather die, taking their culture with them, than be saved and owe their lives to a raging psychopath. Furious at their rejection, Delsin eagerly helps them along to their deaths by planting an Orbital Drop on the Akomish longhouse.

- This is Jafar's ultimate goal for Agrabah. After succeeding in conquering the world, capturing Jasmine, and obtaining the Magic Lamp, he makes his first wish to reveal the Keyhole, which will allow the Heartless under his command to enter and take its heart. Had Sora not arrived in time, Agrabah would've been destroyed and everyone on it killed.
- In the same game, Ursula makes a similar attempt to destroy Atlantica. Unlike Jafar, she can't find her world's Keyhole.
- Warframe: The ancient Orokin Empire was brought down by many parties, all of which had good reasons for wanting the Orokin dead, but one of the key players was Ballas, one of the highest-ranking Orokin and the one who created the warframes. He joined with the Sentients and helped them destroy the Orokin from within as revenge for his lover being executed by the Orokin. The worst part of this is that Ballas was on the council that ordered her executed, and voted against her, because he couldn't compromise his public persona. He blamed everyone else for this choice.
- Seox from Granblue Fantasy as his backstory. He was an incredibly talented assassin in his clan, and as a result was incredibly feared by them to the point where the clan had some dissenters planning to get rid of him. His family isolated him and his father even disowned him, which drove him to eventually kill the entire clan in rage and anguish.
- In Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the psychotic Wookiee bounty hunter Hanharr is said to have slaughtered his own tribe before being enslaved by the Czerka Corporation, but no-one on Nar Shaddaa is sure if this is true. If you recruit Hanharr to your party by being Dark Sided and gain enough influence with him, he reveals that while his tribe exiled him due to his bloodthirsty nature, he knew they'd be enslaved by the Czerka, so he killed them in their sleep to spare them from that fate. He also reveals that he wishes to join his tribe in afterlife and earn their forgiveness.
- In Drow Tales, Snadhya'rune, the Big Bad, deeply resents her entire family and tricks her clan into infecting themselves with demons so as to eventually ensure their horrific demise.

- In Homestuck, several examples:
- Playing Sburb triggers an apocalypse that wipes out all humans in the world except for the players (and a very few close relations).
- The same is true of Sgrub with the trolls, though due to the next event it sort of doesn't matter.
- When the Heiress Apparent leaves, her Lusus releases the Vast Glub, which kills all trolls everywhere in the universe except the Empress.
- This is the ultimate goal of OTHAR TRYGGVASEN, Gentleman Adventurer! from Girl Genius. He plans to kill all Sparks (natural-born mad scientists)... himself last. (The idea that new Sparks would keep being born after this was accomplished, since Sparks don't always have Sparky parents, seems not to occur to him.)
- 8-Bit Theater: Subverted / Downplayed. Muffin the Dragon's Evil Plan was to found an order of dragon-hunting knights, use them to kill the other dragons, take their power and wealth, and then slowly destroy the dragon-hunters. The Light Warriors, who encounter several dragons over the course of the story, point out she didn't really do a good job of it.
- Gallaxar from Monsters vs. Aliens destroyed his own planet. He starts to explain why, but the cloning machine he's on keeps cutting him off.
- In Batman: The Brave and the Bold, the Faceless Hunter reveals that he became Starro's herald in return for Starro destroying his own planet.
- BIONICLE: Once Makuta Teridax took over Mata Nui's body, one of the first things he does is destroy all surviving Makuta, except for Miserix.
- While Real Life examples of racial self-genocides are scant at best, political, cultural, and religious self-genocides have technically happened if you follow the official UN definition of genocide.
- One might see this in the histories of countries that have converted to Christianity or Islam, where followers of the old pagan religions and traditions were forced to either convert or be put to death, having their temples, monuments and written records destroyed, thereby making it a religious and cultural genocide committed by its former adherents. The Roman Empire is possibly the Ur-Example of this: at one point dedicated to the deities of Classical Mythology to the point of persecuting Christians, the Empire eventually converted to Christianity and began persecuting anyone who worshiped the old Roman gods.
- The Purge often takes the form of this. For example, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge government purged over a quarter of Cambodia's population, mainly targeting intellectuals and people connected to the old regime but also killing pretty much anyone else they didn't like. As another example, back to Ancient Rome, their military had an official policy called "decimation" that mixed this trope with Shoot Your Mate and used from time to time against military units accused of cowardice, mutiny, or particularly notable failure. The officers would all be executed, but then the enlisted men would draw lots — and the one man in ten who was particularly unlucky would then be beaten to death by the other nine. If the others refused to kill their former compatriot and maybe friend, all ten would be executed. Decimation was designed to make the legions more afraid of the consequences of cowardice or failure in battle than they were of the battle itself.
- The Imperial Chinese warlord Zhang Xianzhong amassed a rebellion to conquer the Sichuan region of China, and proceeded to order his soldiers to kill everyone who objected to his rule. Then, kill the inhabitants of the outlying villages. Then kill the wives of officers who had objected to the previous order. Then large groups of random civilians. Finally, he just ordered them to kill each other in front of his throne made of the severed ears and feet of his enemies. To put the effects of Zhang Xionzhong's reign of the Sichuan region into some kind of perpective, one can keep in mind that the last Ming census figure for Sichuan in 1578, more than 60 years before Zhang entered the region, gave a population of 3,102,073. By 1661, 15 years after Zhang's regin, only 16,096 adult males were registered, and Chengdu was said to have become a virtual ghost town frequented by tigers. Zhang also allegedly had a stone inscribed with an explanation of his Omnicidal Maniac tendencies:
Heaven brings forth innumerable things to nurture man.
Man has nothing good with which to recompense Heaven.
Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.
- This stone has been found, but the third line actually says "The spirits and gods are knowing, so reflect on this and examine yourselves." Still pretty chilling, though — just like everything else about Zhang Xianzhong's life.

We have complaints from parents that are trying to register multiple children up for camp can only submit one form one time. It fails when they attempt to sign up a second child using the same form link. I'm guessing it has something to do with caching but is there anything we can do or tell our parents to do differently? Again the problem is not consistent. It works for some parents and not for others.Page URL:

Here is what I experienced, while trying to register two children, back-to-back.
(1) On the first attempt and following the successful registration & payment for one daughter, I filled out the forms for my second daughter (much of the information was auto-filled from the first registration), but when I tried to submit WITH payment, and after being routed to the PayPal page and choosing to use a Credit Card, I was given a message that stated that my card could not be used for the transaction. Same card had been used for the previous transaction, successfully.
(2) Contacted Andee and followed her suggestion to re-try the following day. I did so, with the exact same result.
(3) Contacted the Credit Card company, thinking there may be a problem with my card, and to inform them that a duplicate payment to Little Sisters/White Pines was appropriate. No problem indicated and payment for the first registration was confirmed.
(4) Tried registering a few more times over several days, trying both with and without." payment. Most times, the process would get "hung" at the final step when trying to submit the forms, indicating "please wait." Did not receive any indication that the process was complete, so ...
(5) Contacted Andee to see if she had received anything at all. By now, I was interested to see if the submission without payment had worked. Nope!! I gave her my credit card info to make the charge, manually. She requested that I bring the paperwork to camp on Day 1.
I was able to print the electronic forms.
(6) Additional information --Registration (both successful and unsuccessful) were performed on a MacBook Air laptop, using Safari to access the forms, and using either remote home or hotel wi-fi, as we were traveling during all attempts.
Lastly, I hope this information is helpful. Although lengthy, I believe more is better in finding a solution!!

The EarthCalm Nova Pendant
In its previous incarnation, the EarthCalm Nova Resonator Pendant was known as a "Scalar Resonator" — a name that immediately brought to my mind the Jedi Lightsaber of Star Wars: that futuristic weapon that young Luke Skywalker so skillfully employed to uphold the forces of good in the universe. And still today, there's one version of EarthCalm's Nova Resonator Pendant — the sleek sterling-silver wand — that does indeed look a bit like a miniature Jedi Lightsaber.
Luckily for us, EarthCalm's Nova Resonator Pendant (also available as a Sanctuary Bracelet) is not just a make-believe movie prop. Instead, these pendants and bracelets contain some of the most sophisticated, state of the art EMF-protection technology you'll find on the market today. In their various shapes and styles, they remain excellent tools for allowing "the Force to be with us" — i.e. for supporting our health and vitality. In other words, the Nova Resonator Pendant is wonderfully potent medicine for our physical and subtle body; and it's available to us, here and now on 21st-century Earth. Yeah!
Now, let's take a closer look at how exactly they work ….
My Review Of The EarthCalm Nova Pendant
EarthCalm products do not generate any one particular frequency. What they do is introduce information (modulate circuits) into the preexisting artificial field that enables the human being who is at the effect of this artificial field to ground to the earth's electromagnetic field.
I've been test-driving an EarthCalm Nova Pendant for about two months now, and am genuinely impressed. Within a minute or two after first putting it on (it's worn as a necklace) I became distinctly aware of two shifts: (1) my perception, particularly my vision, became clearer; as though a kind of veil had been lifted: colors seemed brighter, shapes more well-defined; and (2) I felt much more distinctly grounded, in a pleasantly relaxed way, through my pelvis and legs, to the earth.
A friend, who recently wore the Nova Pendant for just a couple of days, initially experienced about three hours of increased heat-sensations in her body, along with an increase in physical strength and feelings of general wellbeing. Comparing the couple of times when I've stopped wearing the Nova Pendant, for a day or longer; with how it feels then to put it back on — I can definitely say that there's a difference; and that I feel better wearing it.
Link to browse EarthCalm EMF Protection products
How Does The EarthCalm Nova Pendant Work?
To get an idea of how exactly the Nova Pendant protects the person wearing it from manmade EMF's, let's examine, in turn, the two parts of its this product's former name: "Scalar" and "Resonator." We'll start with its last name, Resonator.
From EarthCalm's website we learn that:
Resonance [is] established by the dropping of one frequency or the rising of the other until a flow of energy and information is established that allows for a reciprocal exchange.
A lot of what I write about on this website has to do with resonance: with flows of energy and information, either between people; or between Taoist practitioners and the mountains, trees, flowers etc. that they exchange energy with; or between external alchemical formulas and the practitioners who ingest them. Mostly what I point to is the upside of resonance: how when we're in the presence of a powerful teacher or healer there's the potential for an energetic transmission to happen, if/when we're able to "tune into" them, i.e. when our frequency modulates to theirs.
The Downside Of Resonance
So resonance is a really good thing, when a dis-eased vibratory field is modulated in the direction of a more focused, more clear and/or higher-frequency, i.e. a "healthier" vibratory field. The downside of resonance is when the opposite happens, i.e. when a vibratory field has dis-organizing affects upon an initially more-healthy field — which is what happens, very frequently, in the interaction between madmade EMF's and the human nervous and acupuncture meridian systems.
Once our energy-body has, through practice, become highly coherent, and is able consistently to maintain a very high frequency; and/or through meditation practice we've become so spacious that "things" just pass right through us, finding no place to stick — once we've reached this highly-realized state of being, the issue of "protection" will cease to be relevant. But for the other 99.99% of us, relating skillfully to the situation created by the sea of EMF's we've collectively created, is a really good idea. This is especially true given that manmade EMF exposure has been linked with a whole variety of physical, mental and emotional imbalances, including: asthma, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, electro-sensitivity, chronic headaches or migraines, and high blood pressure. In addition (and not surprisingly), there's evidence that extended exposure to manmade EMFs significantly decreases our longevity.
Protection of some is an especially good idea for what I like to refer to as the "awkward intermediate stage" between total numbness/insensitivity/armoring and a super-high frequency and/or complete spaciousness which allows "negative" influences simply to pass right through. It's when we're in this intermediate stage that we can clearly (or perhaps just kinda sorta) feel the effects of the EMF's but can't yet transform them, without support. And this is where the Nova Pendant and other EarthCalm products come into play.
Protection For Our Human Nervous System
EarthCalm Products are designed to protect the human nervous system from the hazards of manmade EMFs, which include our AC electrical grid as well as microwave radiation (cell phone towers, WiFi, broadcasting stations). They do this by enhancing a person's connection to the earth's electromagnetic field. This connection is in essence a ground, which by definition allows for the dissipation of biologically meaningless and stress producing currents."
Many people will actually feel this deeper connection to the earth as a sense of calmness and peace. The reduction of electrically induced stress allows the nervous system to more effectively heal and restore the body to optimal functioning.
By introducing new information into existing electrical fields (a nifty Aikido move!) the Scalar Resonator reestablishes our connection to, and grounding in, the electromagnetic field of the earth — flowing between the earth's crust and the lower border of the ionosphere. (This field resonates at the specific frequency which is known as the Schumann Resonance.) It is via clear connection to the earth's resonant field that our human body receives information/energy crucial for the timing mechanisms of many of its functions. Manmade EMF's create something akin to an electrical fence, preventing full access to this information.
The Harmful Effects Of AC Electrical Grids
But back to resonance. One real problem with the AC electrical grids that most of our homes operate on, is that these grids resonate at 50-60Hz, which is close enough to the range of our human nervous system's resonant frequency (4-15Hz) to allow for vibratory communication to be established. What this means is that we incorporate those frequencies into our human bodymind, i.e. that we are continuously incorporating biologically meaningless and chaotic frequencies. (Instead of resonating with a spiritual Master or powerful healer, we end up resonating with our clock-radio, microwave and refrigerator.) This creates stress on our system, as it expends energy attempting to relate to these "biologically meaningless" frequencies. The stress hormones produced by our bodies, over an extended period of time, erode the immune system. In short: The AC grid in our homes creates a constant electromagnetic distortion of our nervous system, as well as (in small or large ways) paralyzing our acupuncture meridian system – our body's electrically-based healing mechanism.
Why is going off into a forest or mountain hermitage so healing and supportive of our qigong or meditation practice? For one, we're able then to resonate with the mountains and rivers and forests. And the solitude, for sure, is in and of itself a healing balm. But in addition, and perhaps most importantly, when we're in an "off-grid" mountain hut, we're away from the AC grid and other EMF pollution — so our nervous system is able, quite naturally, to reestablish its resonance with the earth.
When resonance is established between the house wiring and your nervous system, spinning ions, such as calcium, potassium, sodium and lithium, which normally govern cell metabolism, are kicked out of the cells into the bloodstream, where they are deposited in the joints or are eliminated. Calcium, potassium and lithium are ions that, in addition to establishing cell metabolism, also govern calmness, mental clarity and mood stabilization. Accumulation of calcium in the joints has been related to arthritis; lack of potassium is related to Alzheimers; and the lack of lithium is related to chronic depression and mood swings.
Wearing a Nova Pendant (or Bracelet or Sports Band) and/or using EarthCalm's Infinity Home Protection System (a device that's simply plugged into one of the outlets) offers the support our bodymind's need to maintain our resonance with the earth, instead of being drawn into the vibratory field of the AC system of our home. Using the EarthCalm Quantum Cell allows us to transform toxic wireless EMF's into a healing bubble that surrounds us while we're using our phone.
Scalar Resonance Technology
The science behind the EarthCalm Products is fascinating, and I encourage you to read their Technology FAQ page for a more detailed introduction to it; and/or to read one of the books they recommend: Robert Becker's Electric Body and Cross Currents and Mark Clement's The Waves that Heal. Here I'll say just a few words about the scalar resonance technology — from which the Nova Pedant was given its first name of "Scalar Resonator."
The circuits used in the Nova Pendant and other EarthCalm products – and this is a very cool thing – utilize geometric shapes similar to those relevant to our largest contexts: the sphere (the shape of earth), the torus (the shape of earth's EMF field), and the spiral (the path of the earth traveling through space). The scalar technology, then "is the process whereby each EarthCalm circuit is matched to its mirror circuit, which exponentially increases resonance to the earth." The geometric circuits act like antennae which mirror the electromagnetic structure of the earth.
Emanating from these mirrored circuits are what are called scalar waves:
A scalar wave is by definition a wave that is exactly matched by another wave, i.e. has the same frequency and the same height or amplitude but has the opposite direction, such that one wave exactly cancels out the other. Imagine two waves in a pond of the same frequency and amplitude but coming from different directions. When they meet in the middle of the pond they cancel each other out. One might see a flat area in the middle of the pond where the two opposing twin waves met. The result however is not zero, but rather another dimension that is accessed.
When the right and left hemispheres of the human brain are in balance, for instance, scalar waves are generated, which then open access to higher dimensions of functioning. More generally, a perfectly balanced nervous system, i.e. a spinal column/cord free from right/left distortions, generates scalar waves. When we're functioning from this kind of balanced state, we're naturally more grounded to the earth's vibratory field, and less susceptible to the detrimental effects of manmade EMF's. Any practice — e.g. qigong, yoga, meditation — which supports this kind of nervous system balance, will — aside from its other benefits — tend to protect us from chaotic and disorganizing vibratory fields.
But until our practice has taken us to a relatively high level, in which we're able, on our own, to maintain a strong connection to the earth's resonant field, despite the sea of manmade EMF's in which most of us live — products such as the Scalar Resonator can act as wonderful supports, and are therefore excellent investments, for us as practitioners.

The Best Friends a person could have! Fun to be around with all the time! The friends names in this photo are Kevin, Yejun, Logan, Edward, Jai, and Brandon.

Hannah is the best girlfriend a person can ask for! We meet in 6th grade and have been good friends ever since until May 14, 2017. May 14, 2017 is when we started to date each other. Hannah is very cute, very smart, and the best thing about her is that she has the best kind, funniest personality ever!
Basketball is an awesome fun sport to play. My position when we do real games with my friends, i am a small forward. I love to drive to the met more then shoot from the open. I wish I can make into all start this year during basketball jamboree because that would mean two things. One, I got better at basketball, and the second reason is because its more basketball time for me!
This picture is my facebook profile picture and we are sitting on a rock in the middle of a lake. I am the one in the pink shirt with my best friend Kevin is right next to me in the black and white shirt. This Was a fun picture to take because we had to find ways to sneak in this place.
This song is made by someone my age and his name is Jacob Sartorius. This song is about Jacob giving his number to a girl but the she wont text him back. This song isn't the best but some parts can be alright. I like this song because its about a girl that backstabs the boy so it sad and a little confusing but still sometimes when you want to fell like you got rejected you can look at this video and probably feel better.
This was a writing piece that I made in 5th grade and turned out to be one of my most successful l writing pieces ever in my life! This writing piece was supposed to be a project that had a month grace period but thanks to my procrastination skills I had to finish this in less than 2 days. This story is about a school project that turned out horribly wrong and went to a war with evil living carrots! Luckily I got a good grade on this writing, just like the main character in the story at the end.
This book is one of the best books I have ever read. This book brings you on an emotional roller coaster. It about a kid who has saved money to buy 2 loyal hunting dogs. One of the dogs are a boy and the other is a girl. Together the boy and the dogs go on crazy adventure and also sad moments. I always wanted a loyal dig but instead I got a normal, fat, cute, dog, but I still love that dog!
Logan Paul is an amazing person and a huge inspiration to some people like me. He has gained over 10 million subscribers in less than a year, acted movies, and soon going on a world tour! He has done so much and I one day want to accomplish so much in little time just like Logan Paul.

many people are starting to notice the occultic signature of this event and its ritualistic nature.

I.E.
-Masonic/Illuminati numbers 11,13,33( check the starting time of the rescue, the date + other anomalies such as the the 11th miner Jorge Galleguillo being the first to be hugged by the 2 Presidents- Chilean President Sebastian Pinera and Bolivian President Evo Morales.
-Naming of capsual Fenix (Phoenix arises, reborn anew to live again)occult symbol.
-The men were intombed for 9 weeks(symbolic 9 month inpregnation)
-the angle of the shaft is exactly 11 degrees(Why?)
-The unusual presence of NASA- an illuminati backed agency,who didnt bother to come to the rescue of its own miners trapped in the US a short while ago.
-the distortion of the Chile flag star emblem on the miners shirts used for the photo op. If you look closely the star is actually upside-down depicting the occult signature of The Goat of Mendes or Baphomet or The Devil.

Plus Loads more
This also brings up another very important question, that is what is this ritual birth email@example.com

Brooke & Ethan // Hershey Pennsylvania Wedding
It felt a little like déjà vu as I drove past the "Welcome to Hershey" sign crossing into chocolate territory. I was so excited to be greeted by the same family I saw almost a year ago for Kaitlyn & Tyler's wedding. The day sort of marked a moment for me as my first time stepping out from Kira to shoot a wedding on my own! I was so incredibly grateful to have connected with Brooke, Kate's sister, the summer after I shot Kate's wedding to discuss shooting her and Ethan's. The day had finally arrived!
Brooke seemed so at peace while she patiently sat at the salon as her stylist worked her magic with bobby pins and hairspray. Most people tell brides that they seem to be handling the stress of the day well as more of an encouragement rather than an actual fact, but Brooke really did! I'm sure the mimosa's in the adorably decorated wine glasses from the salon helped a bit ;) Her calmness was also clearly evident while she proceeded to do her sister's and mom's makeup after finishing her own (Brooke, you can do my makeup ANY DAY).
Ethan looked at ease as well, although the excitement was clearly detected on his face. I think I can probably say that he has been one of the most enthused grooms when it comes to pictures. For their engagement session, I was delighted that Ethan felt the need to contact me separately after the session to tell me how much he enjoyed their pictures. I don't think I've ever had a groom do that! And on the big day, he was such a help gathering his groomsmen for staged getting ready pictures.
Together, this couple can easily go down as one of the most genuine, caring, and fun. They are just always so considerate in extending food, lodgings, basically anything they perceive I may want/need even though I'M supposed to be the one serving THEM! I could not have asked for a more pleasant bunch to work with including their incredible families.
The wedding day flew by as all wedding days seem to do, but what I can tell you is that there was lots of laughter, sweetly shared moments, and photo ops that had me drooling (the stunning architecture of the Pennsylvania State Capitol!). The day ended in the elevator of the Hilton Harrisburg Hotel as the doors closed on Brooke & Ethan sharing their final kiss of the day.
