Huawei P30 Pro vs. P20 Pro Comparison: Should You Upgrade?
Huawei has unveiled its P30 Pro, the successor to the P20 Pro whose night photos were already incredibly bright. The new iteration completely redesigns its sensors to let in even more light and adds a fourth ToF sensor to record accurate information about the position of the different elements of the scene. It also goes to a SoC Kirin 980 engraved in 7nm, has a more generous battery, a faster recharge (wired and wireless), compatibility with NM Card memory cards and attractive new colors. Reason enough to change smartphone?
You hesitate to replace your P20 Pro with a P30 Pro after seeing the presentation of Huawei ? Or to buy one of these two smartphones? Before making a final decision, let's take a step by step look at what changes from one iteration to the next, and the extent of progress if you already have a P20 Pro , or hesitate between the P20 Pro and the P30 Pro (no need to specify that at the time we write these lines the price difference is significant …).

Screen: net benefit for the P30 Pro
The screen makes a big leap forward on the P30 Pro. That of the P20 Pro was a smaller (6.1 ") AMOLED display, flat, with a very thick lower edge and a -comparatively – wide notch. The screen of the P30 Pro (6.47 ") is much larger and more refined: the sides are curved for almost non-existent side edges, the chin is rather thin as is the upper edge – with the exception of one tiny U-shaped notch. Between the two iterations, the size-screen ratio increases significantly from 82% to 88.6%.
This size can offer increased visual comfort, without impacting the grip too much: even if the dimensions of the smartphone at the same time increase by 3mm in length and 0.6 mm in thickness, the width also decreases slightly by 0.5 mm. It should also be noted that smartphones with curved edges often tend to cause more accidental actions, as it is difficult, holding a hand not to touch the edges of the screen which are of course tactile like the rest of the slab …
In terms of color and contrast, the slab of the P30 Pro is simply excellent, and benefits from the DCI-P3 color space that allows it to display more subtle color shades. The screen of the P30 is also compatible with the standard HDR10 video reproduction, but it was already the case of the P20 Pro screen. According to our tester "the eye is difficult to distinguish the screen of the P30 Pro Galaxy S10 +" where, when we tested the P20 Pro, even if this screen was already excellent, we considered that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is a step up.
Note that the P30 Pro incorporates a fingerprint sensor under the screen while the P20 Pro has a classic fingerprint sensor that doubles as a Home button.
Design: no revolution
In terms of design, and putting aside everything related to the screen, both offer a very premium casing, neat finishes and very original colors. The back of the P20 Pro is covered with elegantly curved glass in all four corners, with a reflective coating laminated underneath. Entries, "Huawei", "Leica" and some other white information are visible and aligned in the extension of the photo sensors on the left side.
The rear of the P30 Pro looks almost identical – the only real difference that is really noticeable if you pay attention is the transition to a quadruple photo sensor with telephoto periscope (which leads to one of the lenses). 'more square aspect'), and the second row of sensors that houses the flash, autofocus and ToF sensor for depth of field. A keen eye will notice that you have a P30 Pro or a P20 Pro, but overall we will not talk about great design revolution on these two generations.
The choice of colors is much more important with the P30 generation, since you can opt for gradient colors, sometimes iridescent called Orange, Pearl, Aurora and Black. Note also that the P30 Pro is waterproof IP68 certified, against IP67 for the P20 Pro. Both models have no 3.5mm audio jack (although this is the case of the classic P30 …).
Performance: The P30 Pro is necessarily more powerful, but …
First of all, note that both smartphones offer excellent performance, with similar RAM and internal storage options (although the RAM standard on the P20 Pro was rather 6GB). In short, there is nothing you can do with a P30 Pro that you can not do with a P20 Pro – and vice versa – in any case because of performance. That said, we go from one generation of SoC to another, with necessarily a little more "potato" in the second case. But we think that on this point, most users will see very little or no difference.
The Huawei P20 Pro includes a Kirin 970 processor engraved in 10nm, against 7nm for the Kirin 980Huawei P30 Pro. The SoC of the first is therefore starting to date – at the time of our test, we considered that "the A11 Bionic chip of the iPhone X , the Snapdragon 845 or the last Exynos of the Galaxy S9 [were] better" . While remaining comparable. The P30 Pro on the other hand offers performance more comparable to that of a Snapdragon 855 . Here are the results of our Geekbench benchmarks on these two smartphones:
- P30 Pro : 292866
- P20 Pro : 205777
A large gap so, but not necessarily crippling. Both ship a dedicated NPU for artificial intelligence and offer proper energy management.
Battery and autonomy: the P30 Pro is simply excellent
The P30 Pro progresses in several dimensions on the side of the battery and autonomy. First, we go from a 4000 mAh battery to a bigger 4200 mAh battery. We also pass, we told you, a SoC Kirin 980 engraved in 7nm so much more efficient from the point of view of energy consumption. Finally the P30 Pro offers a 40W fast charging that is much faster than the P20 Pro. And the 15 W fast wireless charging.
The result … it's a P30 Pro that "gave us a little over a day and a half of use in geek mode and a little more than two days in use more reasonable . " While the P20 Pro already allowed us to hold at the time almost the same thing … Diantre! However, it is suspected that a more accurate and updated battery comparison of the two smartphones would give the P30 Pro a clear advantage – we will test this point as soon as we can.
On the other hand, the P30 Pro recharges much more quickly thanks to its 40W fast charge mode: connect it 30 minutes to go from 0 to 70% (60 minutes for a complete charge). Against 58% after 30 minutes with the P20 Pro. The P30 Pro also inaugurates you were told the 15W wireless fast charging where the P20 Pro simply does not offer such functionality.
Memory: the P20 Pro has no 256GB option and NM Card
This point can capsize hearts, but let's temperate all the same. In 2019, the options for internal storage are more numerous, but that does not mean that you necessarily need it. In writing, we tend to consider that 128 GB are more than enough for many users. But of course this is not the case for everyone, and if you need more space, it's a certainty: you will feel cramped in a P20 Pro.
The P30 Pro not only offers a 256GB internal memory option, but this memory is faster than the previous generation, just like what Samsung did on the Galaxy S10 with the move to the UFS 3.0 standard. In addition to this more generous memory option, the P30 Pro is compatible with NM Card , proprietary memory cards – the only way to expand the internal memory a bit.
The NM cards are not (in any case still) a strong argument in favor of the P30 Pro. First of all, officially only 128 GB NM cards are available in France. These are rather expensive, in any case more than a quantity of memory similar to the microSD format. For example by walking on Amazon, there are memory cards Samsung and SanDisk 128 GB Class 10 and U3 between 20 and 30 euros. The NM Card of the same size is offered at the "recommended price" of 119.99 €, which leads to a "premium price" of 43.74 €.
In addition, this card monopolizes one of the SIM slots – which may bother you if you want to use two lines on the same smartphone.
Photo: the P30 Pro is as impressive as the P20 Pro when it was released
It is not for nothing that Huawei affuble this range of a "P" – letter which means "photo". And we can say that they are both rather talented. Huawei's expertise is the result of a long collaboration with Leica, and heavy investments in silicon, artificial intelligence and software. Until the P10 , the Chinese manufacturer was already making huge progress.
But with the P20 Pro, Huawei left his competitors on the sidelines. The release of the P30 Pro shows that the Chinese manufacturer still has ideas and muscle in reserve to achieve a new technological leap as impressive as that embodied the arrival of his predecessor. Let's start from an observation that summarizes well the capture of the DxOMark ranking below:
It speaks for itself: the smartphones in this comparison are both high on all their competitors. The P20 Pro is better than the Galaxy S10 Plus that has just been released (with still a significantly better score than the P30 Pro for the double sensor photo selfie Samsung). We can say that both are excellent in photo.
The P30 Pro's sensors have, however, been reworked to let in more light, thanks to larger photosites, a wider focal aperture, and a new so-called RYYB sensor technology – replacing the RGB layout. Thus the green photosites are replaced by two yellow photosites – the correct colors are then recalculated behind the scenes by a simple colorimetric subtraction (yellow = blue – green, so green = blue – yellow).
On top of that, Huawei has incorporated a periscope telephoto lens capable of 5x optical zoom versus a lossless 3x zoom on the P20 Pro. In digital zoom the P30 Pro can go up to 50x with shots with, admittedly, less detail, but surprisingly usable. Both models impressed us, but the P30 Pro was able to surprise us after an already excellent P20 Pro.
Price: it's discussed
The P20 Pro (128 GB, 6 GB RAM, black) is available new from € 749, but it is found between € 450 and € 500 used and around € 550 reconditioned. Operators can offer the new smartphone a little cheaper, around 700 €.
The P30 Pro (128 GB, 8 GB RAM, black) will be available in France from April 5, 2019 from 999 €. So there is still 250 € difference. If you manage to resell your P20 Pro, switch to P30 Pro will return to a budget around 400 €.
The latest model Huawei is relatively expensive, but the brand is not looking for a long time to be aggressive on prices. It tries to offer a market price for very successful features. Thus the nearest competitor smartphone in the DxOMark ranking is the Galaxy S10 + available in 128/8 GB RAM at € 1009.
This smartphone, more expensive, does not take such beautiful pictures at night, and has a less powerful optical zoom. The decision to buy the P30 Pro or P20 Pro therefore weighs, according to your means, your needs, and your desires. But if we look at the market, and the competition, the price of these exceptional smartphones in photo, powerful and very premium is far from exorbitant.
The P20 Pro remains an extremely capable smartphone in 2019, and continues to even give hot flashes to more established competitors, especially Samsung and Apple. It remains a choice quite possible, even if you do not have it yet. Many users will not be interested in switching to the P30 Pro. Nevertheless, it has kept a good value on the second-hand market – which will be needed quickly if your intention is to move to the next generation at lower cost …
In addition, the P30 Pro is a meaningful choice, whether or not you have a P20 Pro in your possession: it's still more powerful, captures more light at night, has better battery life and faster charging , and offers more colors, which we find more sparkling. Its screen is also a good reason to buy it, offering increased visual comfort, and curved edges like on the most premium Samsung smartphones.
It will likely remain "in the loop" long enough, which suggests by way of example the remanence of the P20 Pro at the top of the DxOMark photo rankings . The purchase decision belongs to everyone and depends on your budget – but given the new features of the P30 Pro and the current value on the P20 Pro second hand market, we would rather choose to change before it does not become more difficult to sell the latter.

I love this straighter its the mercedes of all straighteners. It gets hot really quickly and doesn't burn my hair. The seller is great. The shipping was quick and painless I'm very pleased
it came on time and was greatly packed. Great straightener to use overseas too on my trip all I needed was a adapter
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best women's jeans, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, ultra-flattering pants, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
best styling product I have ever purchased.
love love love I cant say enough good things about this product. I bought this as a replacement for one that was given to me 9 years ago. I plan to have this one for another 9 years such a high quality item
after reading previous reviews about this possibly being a fake I was a little worried. I waited until the priced dropped and bit the bullet. I was able to register it on the ghd website and I am happy to report it is not a fake so far it heats up really quick and straightens in one stroke I am really glad I bought it for 80 less on amazon.
The Karmin G3 Salon Professional Ceramic Flat Iron is one of our picks because not only does it perform great, it has a 3-year warranty that backs it up; not something you see with every flat iron in the market. This hair straightener features 1-inch pure tourmaline ceramic plates that can heat up in less than 30 seconds. It has a tangle-free swivel cord and is dual voltage. And it makes use of micro-porous technology and infrared heat to lock in the moisture and natural oils of your hair so it looks healthy, silky, shiny, and straight.
For better or worse, we are B-U-S-Y nowadays. Running from meeting to meeting and trying to pick up our kids from carpool before soccer practice, it's no wonder that we often place ourselves at the bottom of our daily priority list. This mindset typically carries over into our appearances and explains why more women than ever are rocking messy top knots and buns than ever before.
"Works great. Various and high-temp settings. Heats up very fast! My daughter and I both use this. I'm also a hairdresser, and this works great on my clients of all hair types. It's easy to curl with it as well. I love curling with a flat iron. Great size and ceramic is my favorite, as it glides nice and smooth and heats evenly. It has a swivel cord, so it doesn't tangle. Auto shut-off in case you leave it on. So far, so good."
This straightener is amazing. Although it only has one heat setting it heats up immediately and gets the job done. It doesn't feel like it's frying my hair. I love it.
If you have ever visited a luxury spa or wellness company, you have probably run across far infrared heat a time or two. Without going into too much science, infrared heat is the same heat you feel when the sun kisses your cheeks and warms your body from the inside-out. Far infrared heat, in particular, has been used by medical and wellness professionals for years to treat a variety of conditions from muscle pain to even cancer.
I recently just had a funeral for my ghd classic 1 inch hair straightener after one of the blades stopped heating. I have had this hair straightner for almost 4 years longer than any of my relationships. It is absolutely amazing and I am defintiely buying another. I have went through all kinds of straighteners such as chi and paul mitchell. A chi will only last me a year. After a couple chi's this was confirmed case. I used my ghd every day and I dropped it religiously and it has lasted much longer than expected. My mother and younger sister have the same ghd that I used and is currently four years old too and is still working. It is worth the price by far and the quality and durablility is great. It also comes with a two year warranty which is twice as long as most. It heats up in a snap and it shuts off automatically if I accidently leave it on. I have thick curly horse like hair and this thing makes it pretty. I will continue to cry on the inside until my new ghd comes in. Love you ghd
I was scared when ordering this product because I read a few reviews about people receiving knock offs of the ghd. I took the chance however and ordered I am so happy to say that I am the chosen one . I was able to register my ghd on the website and it comes with a 2 year warranty. The straightener itself works wonders it heats up so fast and leaves hair so soft. The only bad thing about this is that I am wanting to straighten my hair everyday haha. But honestly it was well worth the money spent
A lot of people don't know there are tons of ways you can style your hair with a flat iron, and this actually might help you decide what size iron to get. You can curl, wave, straighten, add body, twist and more – just with a flat iron! Your straightener is so versatile you can skip most other styling tools and save money by investing in one that will do all of this for you. I walk you through different options for styling with your flat iron so you get the hairdo you want.
I had been eyeing this styler for a while and as much as I would've liked to save up to a 100 purchasing it here my peace of mind was worth the 60 80 dollar difference. This an expensive professional item that would not grant its 2 year guarantee if purchased from a non official distributor. I purchased from sephora and I'm incredibly happy with the product. It provides salon quality results so I see it as an investment instead of splurge. But if you're concerned both about the legitimacy as well as as the guarantee coverage of this product when purchasing from third party vendors like I was go ahead and spend the extra money. It might save you a lot of headaches and money in the end.
It wasn't possible to register my ghd flat iron purchased from an amazon reseller with the manufacturer. I'm 99 sure this is not an authorized re sale from ghd. This could mean a number of things... Nevertheless I love this flat iron which seems to work extremely well. I decided to take my chances with this version of the ghd classic styler.
love it totally worth it
In the 1800s, American women started wearing their hair up when they became ready to get married. Among the Fulani people of west Africa, unmarried women wear their hair ornamented with small amber beads and coins, while married women wear large amber ornaments. Marriage is signified among the Toposa women of South Sudan by wearing the hair in many small pigtails. Unmarried Hopi women have traditionally worn a "butterfly" hairstyle characterized by a twist or whorl of hair at each side of the face.[42]
The straighening ceramic plates of the ghd Gold Pure Gold Styler boast a new dual-zone technology and heat up in just 25 seconds. The dual-zone technology features two heat sensors that regulate the optimal temperature of 185°C from root to tip as you straighten, ensuring your locks are straight and ultra-sleek. The shimmering gold design adds a touch of luxury to the styler as the round barrel shape makes the Gold Pure Gold Styler perfect for easy, versatile, snag-free styling.
Exactly what I was looking for for a gift.my daughter in law loves it.
We do love the fact that the flat iron remembers your last heat setting so you don't have to keep changing it every time you turn the hair straightener on. With this flat iron, you also get an automatic shut off feature. The plates are 1.5 inches wide which makes it ideal for individuals with medium to long thick tresses. However, it isn't ideal for making curls due to the large plates. Also, there may be durability issues as several owners have reported that their units never lasted more than a year.
I purchased this for my daughter. She loves it her hair looks great. She really loves the auto off function. Amazon was great and had the product to me on time.
Loves how fast it heats up and great on long hair
my old ghd finally bit the dust I loved mine I ordered from these guys it came it conquered good job
I am absolutely in love with this ghd styler I had tried the chi first and returned it right away... This one does what I expected and more it straightens my hair curls it and keeps it healthy it is worth every penny I paid ....
my ghd iv styler are perfect for my hair. I was thrilled with how well they worked

Immortal Mortal - Chapter 56
Chapter 56: Expensive Drug Refining Equipment
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
With two stunned waiters looking at them, Mo Wuji and Shen Ling gobbled down a table full of dishes. The waiters' gaze soon changed to one of reverence, and they looked on as Mo Wuji and Shen Ling left.
Those waiters had met men who had large appetites in the past, but never before was there a woman who could eat that much too. Not only did she have a big appetite, but more importantly she also possessed a level of beauty that neither waiter had seen before. Such a gorgeous woman wolfing down a table of dishes was the complete opposite of what they had expected.
''Senior apprentice sister Shen, since you have already had your fill, how about you head back first. I'll go attend to some issues.'' Mo Wuji urgently wanted to shake Shen Lian off before going to buy medicinal ingredients and drug refining equipment.
Shen Lian was still wary of Mo Wuji when she initially interacted with him, but now after a meal together and a long discussion about cultivation, she felt more familiar with him. Shen Lian threw that bit of caution to the wind. ''I have nothing to do back at the apartment and was planning to go shopping anyway. What are you going to buy? Perhaps I can give you some suggestions.''
It became apparent that he would not be able to get rid of this nuisance. Mo Wuji had no choice but to reveal his plan, ''I intend to go to buy some equipment for refining drugs. Why would I need you to tag along for that?''
''You are going to buy a pill furnace? How does one who has not even started cultivating buy a pill furnace?'' Shen Ling asking in a surprised tone.
Mo Wuji explained himself, ''I'm not going to buy a pill furnace, only some normal equipment for refining drugs to try my luck on the path of a drug refiner. You're also aware of my lack of talent in cultivating. If I can become a drug refiner, even if I fail to cultivate, I'll still be able to earn a living.''
Shen Lian nodded empathetically, ''You're not wrong, but there's no future for a drug refiner. If there's something that's worth learning, it would be the skills of a pill refiner.''
''Will you teach me pill refining techniques? If you're willing to, then I won't mind learning how to refine pills,'' snorted Mo Wuji.
Awkwardly, Shen Lian replied, ''There's too much investment required to become a pill refiner. Since you can't cultivate, it'll still be better for you to learn the ways of a drug refiner.'' How could she not know how hard it was to train in pill refining when her own father was a pill refiner?
Realising that her suggestions were not that realistic, Shen Lian added on, ''In the whole of Chang Luo City, Xing He Pill Pavilion has the best pill furnaces. Not only are the pills there top notch, but they also make the highest quality pill furnaces. But my recommendation is for you to go to Luo Hai Merchant House. Even though their pill furnaces are not as good as those at Xing He Pill Pavilion, but their drug refining equipment is the best in the whole Xing He Empire.''
''Let's go to Luo Hai Merchant House then.'' Mo Wuji said without hesitation.
He was not going to refine pills anyway, and what's more was that he knew Luo Hai Merchant House pretty well.
''Sir, what are you looking for today? I'll definitely show you the highest quality goods with the lowest prices.'' Mo Wuji immediately found the shop assistant that sold him the <Basics of Cultivation>.
''Do you have any immortal grade drug refining equipment, something on the same level as the <Immortal Mortal Technique>?'' Mo Wuji said while patting the assistant's shoulders.
The shop assistant felt rather embarrassed. He had tricked Mo Wuji into buying the <Immortal Mortal Technique>manual, and now Mo Wuji brought it up, obviously reminding him not to fool him with something similar.
''Kekeke...'' a crisp laugh came from the side, as she heard Mo Wuji praise the <Immortal Mortal Technique>, she could not hold it in any longer. It was one thing to skillfully package the <Basics of Cultivation>, a book that could be found everywhere, as the <Immortal Mortal Technique>, but it was another to describe it as a top notch technique. What a joke.
Mo Wuji turned around to see two women, one of which he recognised. Qu Wan'Er, the woman he had met on the ship, was the last person he expected to meet here.
''So it's senior Qu. Thanks for helping me diffuse the situation on the ship.'' Mo Wuji greeted her with a heart full of gratitude.
Slightly embarrassed, Qu Wan'Er replied, ''Sorry about that, my friend was not intentionally laughing at you.'' However, it was apparent that it was Qu Wan'Er's friend who laughed.
After Qu Wan'Er finished speaking, she instinctively took a glance at Shen Lian. She could not understand why Shen Lian, someone who appeared to be a cultivator, would hang around Mo Wuji, who had only mortal roots.
Mo Wuji waved her off, ''It's fine. Maybe to you it's just a mere <Basics of Cultivation>, but for someone like me who has never cultivated before, it is the highest quality <Immortal Mortal Technique>which can make a mortal, immortal. Just take it as I'm ignorant about the outside world.''
This time even the cold and unfeeling Qu Wan'Er could not keep it in anymore and burst out in laughter.
''Sir, I have a set of the drug refining equipment that you're looking for. It's called the Eternal Evergreen. Unlike the <Immortal Mortal Technique>, it's really named the Eternal Evergreen. It was imported from a faraway land, and has been idling in the shop because not many people use machines to refine drugs. The quality of this set of equipment definitely outclasses the rest by many times, and the drugs that it produces are of high purity.'' The shop assistant frantically added on to his description of the equipment, seeing that Mo Wuji was staring at him again.
''How much does it cost?'' Mo Wuji asked directly. He had bought many low quality equipment back in Cheng Yu State at around one to two thousand gold coins. Even if the equipment were much better here and there were a tenfold increase in price, he would still be able to afford it.
''370 thousand gold coins...''
The shop assistant's words completed rained on Mo Wuji's parade. He barely had 30 thousand gold coins on him, nowhere close to 370 thousand.
''Well I have a stalk of Two-leaved Fire Grass with me, will you accept it as payment instead?'' Mo Wuji asked hopefully.
By his estimates, the Two-leaved Fire Grass was worth far less than the Clear Sight Fruit but he had no other way than to try his luck.
''Ah, you have a stalk of Two-leaved Fire Grass? Could you sell it to me? I'll pay 400 thousand gold coins!'' Qu Wan'Er suddenly screamed out.
''You want the Two-leaved Fire Grass?'' Mo Wuji doubtfully asked. Qu Wan'Er nodded, ''Yes, I need the Two-leaved Fire Grass, here's the 400 thousand in gold notes.''
Without waiting for Mo Wuji's reply, Qu Wan'Er took out four 100 thousand gold notes. All four were fron Luo Hai Merchant House, so there would be no issues with exchanging them for gold coins here.
Mo Wuji swiftly retrieved a wooden box and passed it to Qu Wan'Er, thanking her at the same time.
''I should be the one thanking you. I'll be making a move first, until next time.'' Qu Wan'Er grabbed the wooden box, tugged at the woman beside her, and quickly exited the merchant house.
The four gold notes went into the shop assistant's hands, ''Could you help me get the highest quality drug refining equipment that you mentioned?''
The shop assistant never thought that he would close such a big deal this fast, and he rushed to keep the gold notes, before replying respectfully, ''Please wait for a moment, I will deliver that set of drug refining equipment to you immediately.''
Once the shop assistant left, Shen Lian started to speak, ''I find this very weird. Even though the Two-leaved Fire Grass is quite rare, but it's still not worth that much. The Senior Qu that you're acquainted with seems to train mainly in water style techniques too. Why would she pay such a high price to buy your stalk of Two-leaved Fire Grass?''
Mo Wuji replied coldly, ''None of your business.''
In reality, once Qu Wan'Er said that she urgently needed the Two-leaved Fire Grass, Mo Wuji knew that she was lying. She was not well-versed in telling lies, as it did not suit her personality at all. However since she already made her offer, it would not be polite for him to refuse. Regardless of the reason behind her actions, Mo Wuji still accepted this act of goodwill, taking note of this instance of kindness.
''Wan'Er, don't tell me that you have feelings for that kid? I know that you need the Two-leaved Fire Grass too, but why would you give him 400 thousand gold coins?'' Qu Wan'Er was grilled by the woman beside her the moment they stepped out of Luo Hai Merchant House.
Qu Wan'Er calmly replied, ''He only has mortal roots.''
Upon hearing that Mo Wuji only had Mortal Roots, Qu Wan'Er's partner immediately knew that she definitely did not fancy him. But she still looked at her with eyes full of doubt. Qu Wan'Er continued, ''Even though he is just a mortal, the level of determination and resilience is something that I've never seen before in my whole life. Being struck by wave after wave of lighting, even cultivators would have retreated, but he didn't. Time after time he was beaten back by the streaks of lightning from the lightning crocodiles;time and again he forged forward, at last using his mortal body to kill both lightning crocodiles.''
''So what? He's just another musclehead.''
Qu Wan'Er shook her head, ''If he were a musclehead, he would not have killed two lightning crocodiles. This incident proved that he knows where his limits are. He knew that during the fight to the death, both lightning crocodiles would die in his hands. Unfortunately, he's just a mortal...''

the ipad scale app didn't work as I expected.
my life
i'm a warriors fan and enjoying their recent success after watching years of deplorable success with players like alton lister and kevin pritchard. i have my second electric car. i recently put a deposit in for the new tesla model 3 car but was disappointed at the interior and potential for problems since it's the first model year of that car. i grew up near my parents and my kids grew up near their great-grandparents which is fantastic because i grew up far from extended family.

Of all the aspects of college admission application, writing the personal statement is perhaps the most challenging. A good personal statement can help you get an edge over other candidates, thus maximizing your chances of getting admitted in the college. As the name implies, a personal statement should be `personal` in its presentation. A personal statement written in a compelling and intriguing manner can help the reader understand you better. A personal narrative allows the writer to relate an experience or event with his real life. Hence, a personal narrative involves presentation of events in chronological order. The thoughts, emotions and reactions of the writer form an important part of the personal narrative. While writing a personal narrative, you should focus on just one experience. You should write the personal narrative in first person. There are three different structures to write a personal narrative. These are chronological approach, flashback sequence, and reflective mode.
Choosing essay topics is important for a student. You must choose those essay topics that you are confident of writing on. It is important that you can present your feelings in a clear and effective manner. There are many essay topics that you can use in your essay. For example, you can talk about your career goals, or write about an experience or incident that affected you deeply. To help understand the difference between a good essay and an average (or poor) essay, essay examples can be of great help. It goes without saying that essay examples should be grammatically accurate, and presented in an honest manner. Essay examples should follow standard essay formats (APA, MLA etc.). You must remember that an essay example should have a serious tone to it, or in other words, it should not be humorous.
Because one of the great appeals of the personal essay is the conversational tone essayists take, it seems a given that it`s best to be conversant with your subject. But write what you know can also be an inkless cage; some of the best essays are a voyage of discovery for both writer and reader. You might accidentally flip some breakfast cereal with your spoon and have an epiphany about the origins of catapults. That little leap might take you seven leagues into the history of siege engines and voila!--a piece for a history journal comparing ancient weapons to new. Subjects sit, stand and float all around you: should you write about baseball, bacteria or bougainvilleas? The key is engagement with your topic so that the angle your writing takes is pointed and penetrating. You don`t write about cars, you write about the fearful symmetry of a 1961 T-Bird. The essayist should be, to paraphrase Henry James, one of the people on whom nothing is lost. Idly looking over at a fellow driver stopped at a traffic signal might be a moment to yawn, but it might also be a moment to consider how people amuse themselves in their vehicles. An essay here about new car technology, an essay there about boredom and its antidotes.
Notice the four-sentence structure of this introductory paragraph. Notice how the general topic of the essay is clearly stated in the first sentence and notice how the supporting evidence in the second sentence and the explanation of how that evidence does support the general topic of the essay leads the reader to the statement of the thesis -- the last sentence in the introductory paragraph. Notice how the last sentence in this introductory paragraph (the thesis statement) communicates to the reader a clear outline of what the reader may expect in the essay, thus providing the reader an opportunity to develop an initial structure of thinking in his or her own brain to use to build an effective understanding of the main points the author of the essay intends to communicate to the reader.

So the third sentence in the example introductory paragraph is expected to clearly communicate to the reader how the information in the second sentence does support the main point of the paragraph as stated in the first sentence. For this example, a third sentence might be something like This information clearly indicates the selected newspaper article presents some aspect of cultural diversity, that aspect being blacks in the U.S. military still struggling to achieve higher ranks. Notice how this sentence communicates explicitly to the reader the writer`s understanding of exactly how the information presented in the second sentence supports the main point stated in the first sentence. At this point, the main point of this paragraph HAS BEEN MADE.
In general, an essay is structured in three parts -- an introduction, the body, the conclusion. Think of the introduction as a single paragraph designed to introduce the thesis statement. Often persons build an introductory paragraph before having developed an effective thesis statement indicating less than the most effective organization of thinking about the topic of a paper! In this article, using an example thesis statement, the development of an introductory paragraph for an actual essay assignment is described.

For one day, Stephanie Bodsford's hospital room was transformed.
A "Congrats Grad" balloon floated in the air and a Class of 2019 banner hung on the window. The medical devices helping keep her alive remained, but there was something that a family aching from a surprise cancer diagnosis in February hadn't had much of since: joy.
It was in Stephanie's smile, a "larger than life" grin that spread to her family, friends and members of the Powhatan High School staff gathered inside of room 289 at Johnston-Willis Hospital room last Wednesday. Still, the significance of the day was not lost on those present.
Stephanie was dying. Two days earlier doctors had given her just days to live. They'd thought she'd have years. The cancer in her esophagus had caused her kidneys to fail and she chose not to undergo dialysis, a treatment her husband, Patrick, said likely wouldn't have worked but would have caused her "even more misery."
Instead she opted to live her final few days to the fullest, surrounded by her husband of 21 years and their two children.
Stephanie had seen her son graduate high school, an occasion she captured with a multitude of photos with friends and family after the Saturday ceremony in June 2017.
Now it was her daughter's turn. Stephanie was supposed to be there. The family had scheduled doctor's appointments well into the spring. Her health deteriorated quickly, though, with the failure of her kidneys, leading the Powhatan High School staff to ask if it could make special commencement accommodations.
Abby Bodsford was supposed to graduate on June 8 alongside roughly 350 other seniors at the high school. Instead she walked by herself - but she was far from alone.
During a ceremony last Wednesday afternoon inside the Chesterfield hospital, Abby became the first member of the Powhatan High School Class of 2019. Her mom - sporting a smile and a new haircut for the occasion - was there holding her hand.
Abby wore a cap and gown and received a diploma signed by a School Board member and Superintendent Eric Jones. Principal Mike Massa presided over the brief ceremony, changing the text of the charge to graduates he normally gives into the future tense, because Abby still has work left to do.
"That meant the world to me," Patrick Bodsford said. "Stephanie was so proud of her."
Said Abby: "I felt so proud of myself that I was able to make her that happy for just one day. The day was full of happiness."
Massa gave the senior, a cheerleader, her diploma after school counselor Sarah Baltimore handed it to him, the way a "normal" graduation would happen. The moment came with applause from her brother, father and mother, beaming from her wheelchair.
"It felt like a true graduation," Massa said. "We tried to make it as real as possible."
They celebrated with cupcakes and flowers, hugs and stories, and the melodies of her older brother's music fraternity.
The Shenandoah University vocalists traveled from Winchester to serenade Stephanie with the sound of "Oh Shenandoah" and "A Brother at the Door," among others. The music, like most things that day, brought out the smile she was known for.
Within a day she was gone.
Stephanie Marie "Wah-Wah-Tassee" Custalow Bodsford died at 10:22 a.m. last Thursday. She was 47.
Stephanie helped build a small car restoration company - Amazing Finish of Virginia - with her husband, who she met when she was the assistant general manager of a car rental company.
"Technically she was my boss and she liked to say that hasn't changed," Patrick said. "In reality I guess that's true."
She got sick a few weeks before Christmas and Patrick took her to the hospital in early February thinking she had pneumonia. An esophageal cancer diagnosis came back instead.
The cancer killed 15,850 people last year, according to the National Cancer Institute. Only one in five people diagnosed with it survive for five years.
"In the last few days, she gave all she had and that was happiness and love," Ethan said. "She kicked cancer's ass. Even though she lost her life, I think spiritually she won."
Abby's tried not to think about the things - big and small - her mother will miss: marriage, her children, her senior prom on April 13. Stephanie won't be there to see Abby in her periwinkle dress - the color of the esophageal cancer awareness ribbon - one she chose when she thought her mom had as long as five years to live.
"In my head I was thinking 'five years, that's plenty of time for a miracle,'" she said. "When I was told a week .... it made me realize that I'm going to lose my mom at 18 years old."
Abby is now set on continuing her mom's legacy - one of always putting others first and bringing joy into their lives.
She still has classes to finish - English 12, algebra II and government aren't going anywhere - but for all intents and purposes, Abby is a high school graduate. She plans to enroll at John Tyler Community College and transfer to Old Dominion University to study oncology, which deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. She hopes to one day become a nurse, caring for cancer patients the way her mother was treated.
"It hits close to home," she said. "I hope I can continue to make her proud."
Abby told her mom of the plan before she died. The news was met with a smile, Abby said.

If not taken with sugar, the alkaline nature of green tea helps reduce the blood glucose level. Moreover, the antioxidant and astringent qualities of green tea ensure good health and better functioning of the pancreas. Improving the function of the pancreas means a more efficient and regulated secretion of insulin and the subsequent improvement in decomposing and absorbing of sugar. This increase in effective functions can help prevent the onset of diabetes.
Slimming tea: Does it work and is it bad for you? Slimming teas have become increasingly popular in recent years. They aim to suppress the appetite, reduce fat, or boost the metabolism. However, while weight loss may result, this is largely due to fluid loss. The use of these teas remains controversial, and people are encouraged to use other methods of weight loss. Read now
Generally, lower-quality green teas are steeped hotter and longer while higher-quality teas are steeped cooler and shorter, but usually multiple times (2-3 typically). Higher-quality teas like gyokuro use more tea leaves and are steeped multiple times for short durations. Steeping too hot or too long results in the release of excessive amounts of tannins, leading to a bitter, astringent brew, regardless of initial quality. The brew's taste is also affected by the steeping technique; two important ones are to warm the steeping container beforehand to prevent the tea from immediately cooling down, and to leave the tea leaf in the pot and gradually add more hot water during consumption.[citation needed]
Koicha, or thick tea, requires significantly more matcha (usually about doubling the powder and halving the water): approximately 3.75 grams (amounting to 3 heaping chashaku scoops, or about one teaspoon) of matcha and approximately 40 ml (1.3 oz) of hot water per serving, or as many as six teaspoons to 3/4 cup of water. Because the resulting mixture is significantly thicker (with a similar consistency to liquid honey), blending it requires a slower, stirring motion that does not produce foam. Koicha is normally made with more expensive matcha from older tea trees (exceeding thirty years) and, thus, produces a milder and sweeter tea than usucha; it is served almost exclusively as part of Japanese tea ceremonies.
In Canada, green tea is defined as a dry-based mixture and the sale of it is regulated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). It is one of the foods for which a standard of identity is specified according to the Food and Drug Regulations. It should contain not less than 33% water-soluble extractive (determined by official method FO-37 which is the determination of water-soluble extractive in tea) and the total ash should between 4% to 7%.[92]
Day 3: As I started to make my 5th cup in 3 days, my best friend said, "Ab, I really don't think you should be drinking so much of this stuff. Why don't you just stick to the recommended amount?" I responded with "It's just TEA — what's the worst that could happen?" On day 3, I learned. I had decided to give up coffee during my 28 days, both as a way to save my sanity and excretory system and as a way to wean myself out of my coffee habit. That was really stupid. By day 3, I was experiencing a horrifying caffeine headache and a rough case of the spins. I was also literally exhausted and finally feeling the ~desired effects~ of the detox (frequent trips to the bathroom, to put it lightly), so I was dealing with an excess of that on top of my other horrible side effects. Do I blame the tea? Not even a little. I blame myself for overindulging in too much of a good thing. From there on out, I decided to follow the rules.
Beautiful Fall day here in Dallas 😎Getting ready for a walk with the Ellie Girl and my @teamiblends of course. Love taking my tumbler on-the-go. My Alive tea keeps me energized (so I exercise instead of nap! 😉) This is actually Sean's tumbler but the black is so sleek I stole it for the day… Use my code CGFREE to get a free black tumbler with your purchase of $49.99 when you order #iloveteami #thankyouteami
Day 1: So you're supposed to drink your tea first thing in the morning (or before a workout), but I didn't receive my package until after arriving home for the day (in the early evening). Since I am a slave to my own desire for instant gratification, I said "Screw the rules!" and made my first cup right then and there. Immediate observation: It's actually pretty delicious. I don't consider myself a tea connoisseur by any means, so I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't think it needed the recommended addition of honey.
Because you're consuming whole leaves in matcha, you may get three times as much caffeine than a cup of steeped tea, about the amount in a cup of brewed coffee. Matcha aficionados say that compared to the caffeine buzz from coffee, matcha creates an "alert calm" due to a natural substance it contains called l-theanine, which induces relaxation without drowsiness. Still, I do believe it's best to nix all forms of caffeine (including matcha) at least six hours before bedtime, to ensure a good night's sleep.
In 2013, global production of green tea was approximately 1.7 million tonnes, with a forecast to double in volume by 2023.[30] As of 2015, China provided 80% of the world's green tea market, leading to its green tea exports rising by 9% annually, while exporting 325,000 tonnes in 2015.[31] In 2015, the US was the largest importer of Chinese green tea (6,800 tonnes), an increase of 10% over 2014, and Britain imported 1,900 tonnes, 15% more than in 2014.[31] In 2015, Kenya was the largest exporter of black tea in the world (443,000 tonnes).[31]
Unlike traditional green tea, matcha preparation involves covering the tea plants with shade cloths before they're harvested. This triggers the growth of leaves with better flavor and texture, which are hand selected, steamed briefly to stop fermentation, then dried and aged in cold storage, which deepens the flavor. The dried leaves are then stone-ground into a fine powder.
Day 14: At halfway through my detox, I finally officially figured out what works for me and my body. The plan: my standard first-thing-in-morning cup of coffee, then an iced version of the tea to drink with me throughout the day. I sip it all day long, and it's both refreshing and hydrating. I can very honestly say I feel AWESOME. I'm having no kinds of digestive problems, I feel lighter while running at the gym, and my stomach is significantly less bloated and more toned.
For centuries, burdock has been used therapeutically in parts of Asia, Europe, and North America. A known diuretic, it stimulates digestion and can be used to treat kidney and liver ailments. Research has shown that compounds in the root contain antidiabetic and antioxidant qualities, and it also helps to promote blood circulation on the skin's surface, which improves skin texture and helps to prevent eczema.
Green tea contains significant amounts of flavonoids, antioxidants that protect against heart disease by slowing the breakdown of LDL cholesterol, preventing blood clots, and improving blood vessel function. The benefits of green tea also include associations with lower cholesterol and lower rates of artery blockages. People who drink a cup or two a day have a 46 percent lower risk of developing narrowed arteries. Upping that to three cups a day lowers the risk of having a heart attack by 43 percent and of dying from a heart attack by 70 percent. It can even help prevent a second heart attack. In a study of 1,900 patients recovering from heart attacks at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, the death rate among patients who drank at least two cups of tea a day was 44 percent lower than among non-tea drinkers.
