Dando nota para capas de álbuns e EP's do NCT 127

{Baseada, obviamente, nas minhas preferências}

NCT #127

Não sei como me sinto à respeito, mas sei que não gosto da falta de elementos tipográficos. Um primeiro EP tem tudo pra mostrar o que é um grupo e a falta de um título me causa uma impressão de vazio, de algo que poderia ser mais. Se não me engano, essa estampa é feita a partir da imagem da Coréia do Sul no mapa, o que é uma ideia legal. Nota 3/5.

Limitless

Este querido têm três versões e a única diferença entre eles é o adesivo na frente. Ele é bem... Diferente, não sei decidir se de um jeito bom ou não. Não tem um sabor, sabe? São várias colagens dos membros, mas eu sinto a falta de um conceito melhor explorado. É feia, mas não é intragável, dá pra passar aquele paninho. Nota 2.5/5.

Cherry Bomb

Tem uma versão só que tem um gostinho que as anteriores não tem. Essa ilustra lindíssima fala por ela, o NCT 127 na cerejinha... É diferente, é única, é Cherry Bomb. Nota 4.5/5.

Regular Irregular

Têm 2 versões que só muda a cor do céu de Neo City, e tem muita colecionadora que critica esse álbum por ser conceitual demais, mas é ele!!! Esse álbum tem sabor, tem a tipografia que faltava nos três anteriores, é grande, sabe, ai o numerozinho 127 em cima do NCT bem grande e tudo em caixa baixa (acho muito conceito). Os dois tons de verde, o neon (que já se espera do NCT) e o verde água que é algo que eu nunca esperaria. Nota 5/5.

Regulate

Gosto, mas não é meu favorito. Não é feio, mas não é conceitual. É uma foto grupal, e é isto. Nota 3/5.

We Are Superhuman

Ai, o pobrezinho tenta, sabe? ele tenta ser irmão do Regular Irregular, mas só existe um. É feio. É feio, coitado. Nota 2/5.

Neo Zone

Eis o álbum dos álbuns, isso aqui é um luxo. Ele tem 3 versões e todas são belíssimas. Mas especialmente a C: aquela foto com todos eles vestidos iguais, de costas, é tão conceitual, tão Neo... Gosto muito que eles usaram o vermelho e o amarelo (e sei que tem a ver com o conceito dos sonhos), sai do verde neon e futurismo, e essas bordas ficaram tão bonitas, o símbolo do Neo Zone!!! Aliás, ele tem uma pegada retrô. A versão N é uma foto grupal, mas eles tão todos com uma pegada anos 80, ali. E a versão T é a foto da pagoda de um telhado, conceitualíssima, amo. Nota 5/5.

Neo Zone Punch: The Final Round

Outro que tenta e bate na trave. Ouçam, amo a tipografia que é pra imitar o título de um videogame, mas é só. As fotos grupais são aquilo... Fotos grupais. Apesar da versão 2nd player ser mais bonitinha, não chega lá. Nota 2.5/5.

Sticker

Mas eu vou passar um pano pra ele! Tanto a versão Sticky quanto a Sticker são tão bobinhas, mas eu gosto tanto! Tem aquela coisinha banda de House Music dos anos 80, sabe? A Seoul City a gente finge que não existe, porque, por favor, essa fonte helvetica simplesmente acaba com qualquer chance desse álbum ser algo visualmente falando. Nota 4/5.

Adendo - esse jewel case é sensacional os Beatles não fariam porque eles eram só 4:

Favorite

Versão Classic é a pior capa de álbum do NCT, de longe. Essa fonte aí tem no Canva, gente! E o conceito que tem nada a ver com vampiros, que foi o que nos venderam do início ao fim. Eles parecem uns bonequinhos Ken no suporte. A versão Catharsis ainda tem uma tentativa de arte ali, que deixa mais interessante e mais bonita. Nota 2/5.

2 Baddies

Tem 3 versões e a primeira versão e a Target entregam tudo com esse conceito automobilístico e mecânico porque as músicas do álbum em si meio que contam essa historinha. Esse azulão do carro e o preto e branco do fundo, que coisa mais linda, eles olhando pra cima.... E o carro do primeiro que era de fato um carro de verdade desmontado e não CG!!! Sinto que a versão 2 Baddies tá meio perdidinha ali, apesar de ser bonitinha e tropicália. Nota 3.5/5.

{E aí, fui muito dura? 😁}

I am pulling some threads.

Vivek Ramaswamy + Riovant (his biggest contributor) + #MontesArchimedesAcquisitionCorp (which funds Riovant) which also has big connections to the #KKR hedgefund/private equity which just swallowed up #Simon&Schuster for 1.68 billion (which also corners a CHONK of the publishing market/ebook market/audible book market, including the Libby and Overdrive free digital options you can use theough the library systems)...but also KKR tends to be the hedge fund that deliberately sinks its acquistions. ~KS

contined from @KeyserSoseBro1 thread above:

"VR wasn’t an entrepreneur, he’s not a founder of a single entity outside of the shell corp.

He *rolled down* distressed companies into the shell corp via reverse merger structures, then funded same via preferred equity or convertible bond private placements under Regulation D.

These colloquially became known as *death spiral converts* b/c structures precluded cash make whole provisos & had *lookback options* which allowed the investors to cherry pick hyper-dilutive exits on any tiny bounce in stocks of desperately weak companies.

Really sleazy shit.

But this isn’t what VR did via his venture capital funds, which weren’t VC funds at all.

Here’s how it worked: he set up headquartered an entity in Bermuda to house *rolled down* companies; a shell corp. This expressed as an Ltd. offshore fund of a master feeder HF.

VR was GP

Acronym key:

Master feeder = a hedge fund w/ an onshore fund (usually an LP) + an offshore fund (an Ltd. registered offshore).

Pro tip for due dili rookies: if you see a Bermuda Ltd. inside the structure, do more work than you’d normally do to confirm a CIMA (Cayman) fund…

This does not impute that Bermuda funds are sketchy (they’re not), but do appreciate that terra firma is very different.

Inside of a Bermuda fund are always some combo of incredibly complex tax, leverage (via reinsurance swaps, forwards or other derivatives) & legal thorns.

What VR did was very simple:

Roll down distressed life sciences company that is, as one life sciences due dili pro once told me, is a molecule in search of a disease to cure.

There’s lots & lots of biotech cos that failed a Phase IV trial as a new drug.

Enter the ��� oil guys…

Suppose XYZ Inc. drained it’s last venture capital dollar to go through clinical trials to cure Alzheimer’s & failed. All it has left is a patent for a molecular structure, the IP.

The 🐍 oil 2 step that happens next is easy in this row of steps:

1. Inside of Shell Corp is another mostly insolvent biotech firm, but one that is a publicly traded co w/ a stock ticker. Let’s call it ZZZ'

2. ZZZ issues shares via a Reg D private placement to “acquire” XYZ. This is one mechanic of a reverse merger, which isn’t really a merger.

In summary: at this phase an offshore HF, of which the GP (General Partner) owns/controls, has a Shell Corp which owns/controls ZZZ which bought the equity interests of XYZ via a Reg D private placement.

Here’s the juice: the Reg D investor is the same hedge fund.

So, in essence, w/ the $ from the Ltd. investors into a HF, the GP (Ramaswamy) now has 20% of *the ups* or future profits in the new ZZZ, which acquired XYZ.

This ends Phase 1.

Up next is the manufacturing of a liquidity event, an exit: the vaunted pump & dump

Now comes the tricky part: b/f the pump & dump the securities issued by ZZZ to acquire XYZ need to pass through an SEC registration statement process for those shares to be fungible so they can be sold into the market by the Reg D investors who hold the ZZZ shares/warrants.

The 1 risk:

SEC registry of 144a shares usually takes 3-4 mos. So ZZZ needs to remain EDGAR eligible & remain a publicly traded co.

Assuming that happens, the hype campaign begins.

[Cough] People are saying the earlier failed XYZ molecule might cure erectile dysfunction.

ZZZ pumps, Ramaswamy’s fund dumps & he as general partner gets 20% of the ups.

Rinse. Repeat.

This’s shockingly easy to do. Many did it in the 1990s-2000s…still happens now.

Why biotech cos? BECAUSE MOST PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS DON’T UNDERSTAND THEM.

It’s all PT Barnum stuff."

Lucifer Morningstar es la encarnación suprema de la libertad total, del poder sin fronteras, del ser sin restricciones. Su existencia trasciende todo sistema, estructura, lógica o ciclo. No hay barrera que lo contenga, no hay límite que lo frene, no hay norma que lo regule. Su voluntad es la ley suprema del Todo, y sin embargo, él mismo se rige solo por su propio libre albedrío absoluto, que existe como una fuerza infinita y expansiva por derecho propio.

✴️ PODER SIN LÍMITES NI CONDICIONES

Lucifer no posee límites, no porque los haya roto… sino porque jamás existieron para él. No hay frontera dimensional, conceptual, narrativa, espiritual, temporal o existencial que pueda siquiera definirse frente a él. Donde otros chocan con reglas o condiciones, Lucifer simplemente es. Su poder no tiene forma fija ni cantidad estable: es una expansión infinita en constante autogeneración, reconfigurándose más allá de la comprensión, nunca disminuyendo, nunca deteniéndose.

Sin restricciones: Nada lo obliga, condiciona ni sujeta. No responde a sellos, pactos, invocaciones, leyes mágicas ni cósmicas.

Sin equivalencia: No hay fuerza, entidad o principio que pueda compararse.

Sin negación posible: Ni el olvido, ni la negación, ni la anti-realidad, ni el “nunca fue” pueden borrarlo.

Sin condiciones de uso: No necesita recitar, invocar, activar ni pedir. Cada átomo de su ser es poder absoluto, siempre activo, más allá del acto.

🔓 LIBRE ALBEDRÍO SUPREMO

A diferencia de muchas entidades atadas a estructuras o roles, Lucifer posee el libre albedrío más perfecto, ilimitado y soberano que ha existido jamás. Su voluntad no está influida por destino, profecía, causalidad, lógica ni moralidad. Su libertad es tan absoluta que no solo decide sus propios actos, sino que decide las condiciones del universo donde esos actos ocurren.

Puede elegir ser el fin o el principio.

Puede actuar fuera del tiempo o crear uno nuevo para decidir en él.

Puede reescribir su propia decisión antes o después de tomarla.

Puede incluso elegir no decidir, y aún así el Todo obedecerá su no-decisión.

Él es el único ser verdaderamente libre. Libre de leyes. Libre de destino. Libre de moralidad. Libre incluso del concepto de libertad.

🌌 SU EXISTENCIA LO ABARCA TODO

Lucifer no solo controla cada forma de poder imaginable; él es la fuente misma del poder en su forma desnuda y sin restricciones.

No hay cima, porque él es el más allá de toda cima.

No hay base, porque él es el cimiento de la existencia.

No hay contenedor posible, porque él no cabe ni en el todo.

Su presencia es una afirmación pura del ser absoluto, expandiéndose más allá de la expansión, evolucionando más allá del infinito, generando realidades, conceptos y verdades que no existían hasta que él los pensó.

📜 ÉL ES LA EXCEPCIÓN A TODA REGLA, Y LA REGLA DE TODA EXCEPCIÓN

Donde hay leyes, él decide si aplican. Donde hay estructuras, él decide si permanecen. Donde hay límites, él decide si importan. Y donde no hay nada… él lo llena con su voluntad.

Lucifer Morningstar no conoce el límite, ni la condición, ni la frontera. Su poder no obedece leyes: las precede. Su voluntad no busca permiso: es mandato. Y su libertad no es una opción: es el principio activo del universo entero.

Geladeira: erros ao guardar alimentos - 05/04/2025 - Tudo + um pouco

Geladeira: erros ao guardar alimentos - 05/04/2025 - Tudo + um pouco

Para garantir a boa conservação dos alimentos, é fundamental tomar cuidados simples na hora de armazená-los na geladeira.

A seguir, saiba como evitar seis erros comuns ao guardar a comida no eletrodoméstico, de acordo com Beatriz Tenuta, professora do curso de nutrição do Centro Universitário São Camilo

1. Alimentos sem proteção

Nada deve ser guardado desembalado, por três motivos: risco de contaminação cruzada, absorção de umidade e troca de odores.

Use sempre potes com tampa. O ideal é que o recipiente seja de vidro —pode ser de plástico se for próprio para armazenar alimentos (com o símbolo de um copo e um garfo no fundo do produto). Também é possível fazer a proteção com papel-alumínio ou filme plástico.

2. Produtos crus e cozidos na mesma prateleira

Para diminuir o risco de contaminação cruzada, a recomendação é guardar esses itens em locais diferentes da geladeira. É melhor que comidas prontas e sobras fiquem nas prateleiras superiores. Já carnes, aves e pescados crus e em descongelamento devem ser armazenados na parte inferior do aparelho. Assim, não há risco de pingar sangue ou outros líquidos nos alimentos que estão embaixo.

3. Panela na geladeira

Não é indicado armazenar alimentos dentro do utensílio. “Panela é feita para cozinhar, não para guardar”, diz a professora. Ela explica que, nessa situação, a comida demora mais para resfriar e não fica completamente protegida, porque a tampa não tem uma vedação adequada para essa finalidade.

Além disso, há risco de levar contaminação externa para dentro da geladeira. “A panela estava em cima do fogão, no meio da cozinha, onde você está manipulando várias coisas. Então, não é uma boa ideia”, afirma a especialista.

4. Latas abertas

Não adianta cobrir a embalagem de atum, milho ou leite condensado com papel-alumínio ou filme plástico. Uma vez que ela for aberta, é preciso colocar o que sobrou em um pote com tampa.

“O alimento está seguro enquanto a lata estiver fechada. A partir do momento que você abriu, ela perde essa proteção”, diz a nutricionista. O abridor pode causar fissuras no revestimento interno da embalagem e provocar oxidação nesse local, por exemplo. Além disso, a parte exterior da lata pode estar contaminada.

5. Frutas, legumes e verduras úmidos

A umidade contribui para a proliferação de fungos e a deterioração mais rápida dos alimentos. Por isso, a nutricionista recomenda, se possível, lavar frutas e legumes só na hora do consumo.

Já as folhas devem ser higienizadas antes de serem guardadas na geladeira, mas precisam estar completamente secas. A dica é usar uma centrífuga para salada e colocar as verduras em um pote com folhas intercaladas de papel-toalha, para absorver a umidade.

6. Lotação máxima

O excesso de itens atrapalha a circulação de ar dentro do equipamento, o que faz a refrigeração não ser tão eficiente. Aí, o tempo de conservação de tudo o que está ali dentro diminui.

O ideal é sempre manter espaços entre os produtos. Em uma ocasião especial, como uma festa ou churrasco, quando a geladeira estiver mais cheia, regule o termostato para a refrigeração máxima.

A Comprehensive Guide to Establishing a DAO in the Cayman Islands

Understanding DAO Foundations in the Cayman Islands

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have transformed the way businesses and communities operate. These blockchain-driven entities function through smart contracts, allowing for decentralized decision-making and governance. If you're considering setting up a DAO, the Cayman Islands DAO foundation formation is a strategic choice due to its business-friendly regulations and tax benefits.

 

Why Choose the Cayman Islands for DAO Formation?

The Cayman Islands has emerged as a preferred destination for DAO incorporation due to its legal flexibility and supportive regulatory framework. This jurisdiction allows DAOs to operate under a foundation structure, which provides a balance between decentralization and legal protection.

Key reasons to choose the Cayman Islands include:

No direct taxation on businesses

Well-established legal system based on English common law

A regulatory environment that recognizes blockchain technology

Confidentiality and asset protection advantages

By establishing a DAO in the Cayman Islands, founders can ensure compliance while enjoying the benefits of an internationally recognized financial hub.

 

Legal Considerations for DAO Formation

Before launching a DAO, it is crucial to understand the legal considerations for DAO formation to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Some of the most important legal aspects include:

 

Choosing the Right Legal Structure

A DAO in the Cayman Islands typically operates under a foundation company structure. Unlike traditional corporations, a foundation does not have shareholders but functions under pre-defined rules set by its members. This structure is particularly suitable for DAOs as it aligns with decentralized governance models.

 

Regulatory Compliance

To operate legally, a DAO must comply with the Cayman Islands’ regulatory framework. This includes:

Registering with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) if engaging in financial services

Implementing Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures

Maintaining transparency in financial transactions

Ignoring these regulations can lead to legal challenges and potential fines, making compliance a top priority.

 

Smart Contract and Liability Issues

While DAOs rely on smart contracts for automated governance, legal liability remains a gray area. Since smart contracts are immutable, errors in coding can lead to irreversible consequences. To mitigate risks, DAO founders should:

Conduct thorough audits of smart contracts

Ensure proper dispute resolution mechanisms

Consult with legal professionals to draft enforceable terms and conditions

 

Intellectual Property and Governance

Intellectual property (IP) ownership is another crucial aspect of DAO formation. Since multiple contributors may be involved in developing the DAO’s protocols and assets, defining IP rights in the foundation’s bylaws can prevent future disputes. Additionally, a clear governance model should be established to dictate voting mechanisms, proposal submissions, and decision-making processes.

 

The Future of DAOs in the Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands continues to be at the forefront of blockchain adoption, making it a prime location for DAOs. As regulatory bodies adapt to the growing Web3 landscape, businesses can expect more refined legal frameworks to support decentralized projects. Entrepreneurs looking to set up a DAO should stay updated on regulatory changes and leverage expert guidance to navigate legal complexities.

 

Conclusion

Setting up a DAO requires careful planning, legal structuring, and regulatory adherence. The Cayman Islands DAO foundation formation offers an ideal solution for entrepreneurs seeking a compliant and secure jurisdiction for their decentralized projects. By understanding the legal considerations for DAO formation founders can ensure their DAO operates smoothly while maintaining legal protection.

Upskilling Your Accounting Team for 2025: The Key to Staying Ahead

In the ever-changing world of accounting, merely keeping up with the changes in regulations is not enough to be ahead of the curve. By 2025, upskilling your accounting team has become essential to compete and deliver more value to your clients. What does upskilling mean, and how will it change your practice? Let’s find out.

Why is upskilling crucial for accounting professionals today?

The accounting profession has been transformed lately by technological and client expectations; the traditional, routine accounting task is being substituted with more sophisticated roles. Thereby, this calls for more strategic roles of the firm which can be upskilled so that the entire team can easily handle these changes.

In addition, complexity in compliance is increasing, through changing tax laws, evolving financial reporting standards, and shifting regulatory frameworks. As accountants are constantly updating their skills, they will be well-equipped to adapt to the complex environment and subsequently reduce risks both for the firms and their clients.

What core competencies will your team require for 2025?

The following skills would be important to develop in professionals to succeed in the modern accounting environment:

Technological Savvy

One should know the latest accounting software, cloud-based solutions, and automation tools. This is to know how these technologies can make processes easier, more accurate, and efficient.

Data Analysis and Interpretation

The interpretation of complex financial data and provision of actionable insights has become very valuable. Data analytics enables accountants to transcend bookkeeping to strategic advice that will add value to businesses.

Cybersecurity Awareness

Security of financial data through digital accounting is at the top of the list. The accountants should be trained on good cybersecurity practice to protect the client’s information and comply with the law of data protection like GDPR.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Soft Skills

As EI is strong, better client and teamwork relationships can be developed. A person should have empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication skills. They have better understanding and satisfying the needs of the clients through them.

Regulatory and Compliance Knowledge

Tax laws, VAT regulations, and financial reporting standards change with time. Up-skilling ensures that the accountants do not incur a cost of heavy penalties for the clients.

Technological Advancement: How could it affect your accounting practice?

What’s emerging in the accounting landscape is a lot about Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration and automation. AI-based tools can take charge of the routine tasks: transaction entry, reconciliations, and invoice processing. However, these technologies highlight how accountants should then be focused on tasks where human judgment is unparalleled.

For example, AI can produce reports; however, for it to make strategic recommendations and interpret insights, that expertise is clearly human-centric. Upskilling in technology means managing and interpreting AI outputs effectively to ensure that automation supports rather than replaces human expertise.

What strategies can facilitate effective upskilling?

A successful upskilling program requires several strategic steps:

Continuous Learning Culture

It should have a culture of life-long learning. It can be scheduled through training sessions, seminars, and other courses that are accessible online.

Professional Certifications and Training

Professional certifications such as ACCA, CIMA, or CPA should be pursued. This not only gives the employees more credibility but extends their exposures in specialized fields of accounting.

Mentoring and Knowledge Transfer

Such a pair can aid in knowledge transfer and also be helpful for the practical development of skills. Bridging skill gaps requires very effective encouragement of internal mentorship programs.

Collaborative Learning and Real-World Application

Apply project-based teamwork when diverse skills are needed, with team members teaching each other new competencies that can be practiced.

Online Learning Platforms

There are so many courses for accounting professionals offered by platforms like Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and ICAEW’s digital training.

How do upskilled employees improve client satisfaction?

An upskilled team is more efficient to meet and also surpass clients’ expectations. Accountants shall begin with the ability to provide more in-depth analysis, proactive advice, and efficient delivery once their skills have been improved.

For example, the data analytics training can enable a firm to offer to predict the future financial models to its clients.This will help the clients make strategic business decisions, hence, strengthening client relationships and positioning your firm as a front runner in the industry.
