Canada’s dental industry ‘closely monitoring’ Trump tariffs, DIAC says

Canada launched its retaliatory 25 per cent tariffs eeffective March 4 on $30 billion in goods imported from the United States. (iStock) The Dental Industry Association of Canada (DIAC) said Tuesday it is “closely monitoring developments” after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico — a 25 per cent across-the-board levy. Trump, however, imposed a lower 10…

Happy WBW!

If your world has a main culture or religion, tell me about the people who DON'T believe in the same gods or culture. What groups are the minorities?

Hey friend! Thanks for the ask!

Incoming infodump because I spent sooooo much time on this oh my god.

WIPVII is basically just England in the early 1300s but slightly to the left. I did not want my story to fall into the trap of treating a pseudo-medieval England like a cultural and religious monolith because, of course, it gives the impression that real medieval England was a monolith and feeds into all sorts of bigoted revisionist history so...

I based the main religion heavily off of Catholicism because so many plot points in the story (around modesty, fidelity, marriage, women's roles etc.) rely on a very Christian-like status quo. The main culture is based off of the dominant Anglo-Norman culture in 1300s England. Of course, this makes it only fair that some other religions and cultures that also existed in 1300s England also get a shout out.

Ieuan is Cilfac and Udan, fictional cultures with similarities to Welsh and Jewish culture and religion respectively.

Uthman is multi-generational Cithic (which is the main ethnic group) but his ancestry is Idaluan, a fictional culture inspired by Muslim Al-Andalus (Spain). He still practices the religion of his ancestors too.

Henry has a grandmother from Lyzviria, similar to the Byzantine Empire (mainly Greek at this time). From her he gets his complexion, still pale-skinned because she came from royalty but with golden undertones rather than pink, and hair with dark, loose curls.

Matilda's father is from Para, a fictional city resembling Jerusalem. I never decided which religious group he belongs to but never comes up. Matilda was raised by her Cithic-Andovin mother, aunt, and uncle and practices the dominant religion.

There is also a more minor character (though arguably the most important after the pro- and antagonists themselves as far as plot is concerned) named Tamas of Mairan. Tamas is a seafaring mercenary/pirate who commands a multi-ethnic crew. He himself is from Torsia, which is inspired by Persia during Mongol conquest.

There are also a few other ethnicities that aren't dominant but... our modern lens see them all as white people whereas the distinctions are important to the people in this world.

Some context:

The Andovins are inspired by the Normans. The Pylts are inspired by the Anglo-Saxons (who, in 1333, had mostly integrated with the conquering Norman culture to become the Anglo-Normans, but some remote vestiges likely remained). The Cithic people are like to the Anglo-Normans, mostly common people with Piltish ancestry. The Cithic-Andovins are the upper-class, the rulers of Cithidy who are technically Cithic because they are from Cithidy but have much more in common, including the Andovaic language, with the Andovins than with the Cithics they rule over. There is also an ethnic group called the Diacs who live in northeastern Dian (it is from them the kingdom gets its name); this group is representative of the Celtic Bretons who came with the Normans to England in 1066. And I mentioned the Cilfacs already too.

This makes the two dominants groups the Cithics and the Cithic-Andovins. The Cithics are the majority group and make up the urban class of merchants, craftsmen, and clergy in most regions of Cithidy and Dian. The Cithic-Andovins are the ruling class that conquered Cithidy and Dian. They share a religion with the Cithics but not a language, and there are cultural differences. They are minority but comprise most of the noble families.

The Cilfacs and the Diacs follow a religion based on Celtic Christianity. The Pylts technically share a religion with the Cithics and Andovins, but they have some unique saints and traditions carried over from pagan times (although that was 600 years ago.)

As mentioned Ieuan is both Cilfac and Udan. He had a Cilfac parent, and a parent who was also Cilfac-Udan. In terms of his religious practices, he tries to honour both traditions in his own way.

Alan is Diac.

Wulfrith identifies more as Piltish than he does Cithic. Where he is from they still speak a dialect of the old Piltish tongue rather than the new Cithic one. The difference is like the difference between Old and Middle English (aka. Anglo-Norman). In fact, I cheated and just used Old English words for anything named in the Piltic language. Pilitish itself comes from pyll + cythu, the Old English words for inlet and homeland. Cithic is also derrived from cythu.

Though to be fair, I did that with more than just Old English. Wulfrith is an Anglo-Saxon name. Alan is a Breton one. Tamas is a name contemporary to 1300s Persia, and Uthman an Islamic name used in 1300s Al-Andalus. Ieuan is a Welsh name. Dian and Diac derrive from the Breton word diazac which means land that drains into a river. Cilfac is the Welsh word for creek.

so uh yeah... I hope you enjoyed my info dump!

Had an idea so I whipped up this little thing for today :'D I wish I had more to update you with though ^^' I've been pretty busy with Art Fight this month so work on this project has been paused for a bit, but I'm looking forward to getting back into it afterwards. :) Hard to believe it's been nearly a decade since this project entered my life, but it certainly wouldn't have been the same without it! Having a project for this long really makes me reflect on a lot of things, like how different it was at the beginning, and even how different I was too (it's been... a very long 8 years). It can feel like I'm going in circles whenever I return to old designs and concepts and tweaking them, but I think they're all changes for the better. At least, I hope so! Thanks as always for the love and support over the years folks, and look forward to more stuff later on! But for now, happy birthday Starglass Zodiac <3

Principle and maintenance of organic fertilizer disc granulator

Disc granulator can be used for powdery uniform viscosity good materials, materials are transported to the rotating disk of the granulator, the right amount of water is sprinkled on the material, through the centrifugal force of the disc and the friction in the rotation of the material, coupled with the gear rotation structure, so that the material is constantly kneaded and squeezed, can quickly become granules, and because of the role of centrifugal force, the particles formed are also very uniform. Disc pelletizer reducer and motor are driven by flexible belt, smooth start, slow down the impact force, the bottom of the pelletizer plate is strengthened by a number of radiation steel plates, thickened, weighted, solid base design, without anchor bolts fixed, stable operation. The main gear adopts high frequency quenching to prolong the service life. Longer life also means lower production costs. Disc granulator as the main equipment for fertilizer granulation, organic fertilizer equipment quality must be guaranteed, follow-up maintenance in addition to relying on the manufacturer more or to the user's own daily use of love and care, regular maintenance, regular inspection of organic fertilizer granulator spare parts, whether loose or crack, do not produce, to clean up in time, Add oil when you use it again.

"i could delete her but i never could harm monica, so i'm stuck here forever with my harmonica" is SUCH a silly lyric, and it's from the same person who wrote "i had a fleischer of information and iwerks hard for it-" no, "milk, milk, lemonade, all swept up in a gay tirade-" wait, "'doctor, i keep forgetting what an airport building is called.' 'i'm so sorry, it's terminal.'" hang on, i meant to say "they say home is where the heart is and that's true enough i guess, cause it seems like your garage is now in car-diac arrest-" oh, that's not right either-
