a/n: happy birthday to @fearcvlt!!! one of my sweet friends who i love so so much. i hope you're having a great day bb <3 alsooo just fyi to everyone, there will be no part 2 to this.

From the moment Clark woke up today he’d been busy, busy, busy. 

Given that it was a Saturday, he hadn’t expected the influx of tasks thrown at him. However he’d never been one to complain, so instead of moaning and groaning, he handled each thing as it came. 

In the morning, he had to go into town to pick up a few things for his mom. On the way back, he had to stop by the Talon to discuss some details of a recent wall-of-weird incident with Lana. At some point later on, Lex was then calling him up and asking for his assistance on something.

He felt like he spent more time behind the wheel of his truck that day than on his own two feet with how much he was having to go back and forth across the familiar streets.

Really, every moment of Clark’s schedule over the past week had gone something like this. Packed full from dawn till dusk. He had tests to study for and essays to write. His regular responsibilities on the farm never let up as did his small circle of friends asking to do something or the other. And recently, there’d been a strange string of accidents that he felt compelled to investigate.

Last night specifically, he’d been occupied with Chloe and Pete. What was supposed to be a couple hours of research stretched into a few laps through the woods looking for a variant type of meteor rock and then a car ride to Granville and back. Once he finally got home, he passed out for a couple hours and then scraped himself out of bed to get through all of today.

Now in the evening, he finally had a moment of quiet. He sat by himself on the Torch’s computer, fingers tapping away at the keyboard as he looked into connections between all the components they’d found over the last several days. His eyes flicked across the tiny words glowing on the computer screen. Most of the time Chloe handled the research aspect of their investigations, but he felt so close to having this resolved. With a few more details, he could have this thing cracked in an hour.

The sound of footsteps approaching the door pulled his attention away from the article in front of him. He knew from the quick rhythm of them, they belonged to Chloe. His eyes flitted to the entryway as she appeared. She greeted him without any words, her usual smile and slight wave serving as enough for the two of them as she came in and set her stuff down at her desk.

“You must be really invested in this whole thing if it has you working late all alone,” she teased while shrugging off her coat.

“Something like that,” he responded as his gaze drifted back to the screen, “I’m glad you showed up. I think I really have something on this guy.”

“Oh that’s good,” she said, looking much more interested at the prospect of new information. Coming up behind him at the desk, she skimmed the article over his shoulder. “You know, I thought you’d be with your girlfriend tonight, Clark,” she added as she reached for the mouse to scroll down.

His brows furrowed at the mention of you. While he could talk about you for hours and hours, he didn’t understand the point in her bringing you up now. It felt like a joke going over his head. She’d said it with the normal dose of teasing she used towards him, but the statement as a whole sounded earnest.

“Why would you think that?” he asked.

“I don’t know. I just thought you guys might do something for her birthday. I know she’s not having a party, but I guess I assumed she’d still want to hang out with you,” she answered. The way she said it was so casual. It wasn’t meant to mock or come off as a gotcha. That was what it felt like though because in that moment Clark realized something.

He forgot his girlfriend’s birthday.

Actually, that wasn’t exactly true. He hadn’t completely spaced the event. Last weekend, he’d planned this all out in his head. He called in a reservation at your favorite restaurant, stashed away a few small things to give you, even made a note of where he was gonna buy you a cupcake from. It was just that over the past week, he’d gotten so busy and distracted that those plans faded to the back of his mind. Today, he hadn’t even looked at the date, hadn’t even put together that today was your special day.

But none of the excuses mattered. No matter how he put it, when it actually counted, he forgot your fucking birthday. And maybe he could have played it off like everything was a surprise, that he’d only been pretending to be so oblivious and inconsiderate, if not for the fact that his truck should have been in front of your house an hour ago because he told you he’d pick you up for dinner.

He shot up out of his chair so fast that it fell backwards and smacked against the floor. His hands ran through his hair as he frantically tried to think of what to do. Such a strong wave of panic washed over him that he almost burst into super-sprint right in front of Chloe.

“Clark, you didn’t,” she said, looking back at him. He didn’t even have to say the words for her to surmise the reason for his reaction, “That’s bad, even for you.”

“I know,” he agreed, blue eyes still wide and full of worry, “How could I forget? God, I thought about this. I had all of it figured out. This was the one thing I wasn’t gonna miss.”

“Well the day isn't over yet…” Chloe offered with a slanted look.

He rubbed at his brow for a second before nodding. Of course he was gonna try to make it up to you. His mind just didn’t work as fast as his body. He still had to figure out how on Earth he was going to explain this, let alone justify his absence to you. But he could do that on the way to your house. He really didn’t have any more time to waste.

“Yeah, you’re right. I’ll have to go try to make the most of how ever many hours are left,” he mumbled.

She nodded in support. “I’ll take over here. You go save the day,” she said.

As soon as Clark was out of her line of sight, he bolted. He zipped into a blur, ditching his truck in the parking lot in favor of his own speed. Later he could come back to drive it home. He didn’t have seconds to spare at red lights or finding parking as he collected the things he needed.

It took him around five minutes to pull everything together. He grabbed the pale blue gift bag from his house, picked up a cupcake from the store (the last one they had), and snatched a bouquet of flowers on his way out.

Every step of the way to you, words of apology ran through his mind, ranging from I’m so so sorry, I’m such an idiot to I swear the truck just broke down, I couldn’t get service, but I’m here now. He tried to think of something that would make this salvageable, but truly, this was his worst screw up with you so far. He’d been late to dates before. He’d forgotten important things. But standing you up on your birthday? That might be the fatal blow to your relationship.

He slid to a stop in front of your porch steps. All the windows in your house were dark. He knew your house would be empty with your parents out of town, but he couldn’t even see the glow of your small tv shining up in your room. Dread bubbled inside him as he realized you could have still gone out without him. It wasn’t like he wouldn’t deserve it, but the possibility didn’t sting any less.

Steeling himself for the possibility of no response, he walked up the wooden steps and across the floor panels to your front door. He took a moment to run his fingers through his windblown hair. With one more deep breath, he shifted the flowers to the crux of his arm and knocked on the door. The gift bag hung off of his other wrist while that hand held the small box with your cake in it.

Five seconds passed and then another several moments of silence too. He resisted the urge to knock again. You could just be taking your time.

But after another bout of quiet went by, he tapped his knuckles against the door again three times. If you didn’t answer this time after another minute, he’d have to regroup, he told himself.

That minute went by the same as the last though, and he still didn’t want to leave. He considered saying something or calling for you through the door; though, at this point in time, he wasn’t sure if his voice would be a strong selling point.

He waited another handful of seconds before raising his fist. Third time’s a charm, right? But before his fingers could make contact, he heard the lock unlatch and the knob twist in that clunky way it always did. Relief fizzled all through his body before he even saw your face.

The door cracked open. From what he could see, the interior of your house was as dark as the windows led him to believe. The nearest streetlight doused the small sliver of space in a faint glow. He could see your leg covered in fuzzy pajama pants and the side of your upper half adorned in an old oversized t-shirt. Your face appeared seconds later. At first, your expression looked neutral. Well you looked sad, but you didn’t look angry, which was what he had been afraid of.

Then your eyes lifted to look at his face, and once they registered the sight of the person before you, that fire lit up in an instant.

Immediately, you tried shutting the door, but he was quick. He stuck his foot forward, jamming his boot in the entryway to stop it from closing. The pressure didn’t really hurt, but he still winced for show.

“Baby, wait,” he pleaded, “I know you’re mad, and you have every right to be. I deserve it-”

“Save it, Clark,” you gritted through your clenched jaw.

You threw your entire body weight against the door in an attempt to shut him out. He could hear your feet scraping against the floor along with your soft grunts as you tried forcing it closed. It would probably be cute if he didn’t feel so guilty.

“Just hear me out,” he tried again, “I’m sorry for being late. I’m really sorry. There’s no excuse that would make it ok, so I won’t even try to give you one. But please, sweetheart. I brought you some stuff, and it’s still your birthday-”

“You’re more than late! Late is fifteen minutes! Late is when thirty minutes pass so you call and explain you’re stuck in traffic! Late doesn’t mean an hour goes by and you finally show up because you realize you don’t have anything better to do, so you might as well!” you cut him off.

You couldn’t have said anything worse to Clark in that moment. He never wanted you thinking this was intentional, that he chose to be anywhere else that wasn’t with you. Now he pushed back a little. He leaned into the door, using his strength to scooch you further into the house and allow himself room to slip inside. As he did, he let some grunts slip out and even took a few seconds to give the illusion that you had a fighting chance.

“I swear this wasn’t on purpose. I’d never choose to make you wait or make you think that I don’t care or something,” he continued. A hint of desperation laced his words now. “I didn’t even forget. I’ve been planning this, and I had it all laid out in my head. I just… I just lost track of time. And it’s my fault, but I can make it up to you if you let me.”

You had turned away from him once he actually made his way into the house. Your body stood stiff as a board. He couldn’t even see your face to get some kind of read on how his words were coming across. And even worse, you weren’t saying anything back. He hesitated, mentally debating whether he should proceed with his pleas or give you a second. But ultimately, the former won. Logic and Clark didn’t mix well when it came to getting in your good graces again. He would do anything to make that happen.

“Honey, I know I missed the first part of the night, but I’m here now. And you’re here, and you look beautiful like you always do. And it’s still your birthday and I have some stuff for you,” he added.

“It’s not about the stuff, Clark. It’s not about what day it is or whatever,”you responded. You turned around to face him again. In the darkness, he couldn’t really make out your features, but your voice cracked. He didn’t need any light to know how your eyes were watering right now. How your lip was wobbling in that timid pout. 

He hated that he was so familiar with your disappointment.

“I’m sorry,” he said again, though this time they came out much weaker, like the sound of a dying soldier.

You took in a shuddery breath, either in preparation to yell at him or to maintain what you had left of composure. Neither happened right away. That almost felt worse, leaving him to burn under the heat of anticipation.

“I just… I don’t understand you. You can be so sweet. So caring. You make me feel like you really love me, but then you do stuff like this,” you finally said. Your voice cracked again, but this time it nearly stopped your words from coming out. You were losing a battle of your own against your tears.

“I do really love you,” he replied without a second thought. He dropped the flowers onto the nearby end table, shoving the gift bag and small box on after it. His arms opened for you as he took a step forward. He only hoped you wouldn’t push him away.

But you didn’t. You took the same step with your own feet and let him embrace you. The warmth of his body engulfed you all at once as his big arms looped around your frame. One of his hands found your head, cradling it against his chest.

“I do love you, baby. Always. I never want you to think I don’t,” he said softly.

You sniffled and squished your face against his chest. He held you tighter against himself. It didn’t feel tight enough. It never did for Clark. He always wanted you closer, held more securely, but he had to hold back if he didn’t want to shatter your bones.

“Hey, hey. Don’t cry,” he cooed, planting a few kisses on the top of your head, “Don’t cry, babe. Please. I’m not worth it, alright? I don’t want you so sad over my stupid mistakes.”

While you weren’t saying anything, the weight of your emotions filled the air all around you. They were practically tangible to Clark - the disappointment and betrayal. The insecurity he caused. The pain he inflicted. He was almost glad you usually stayed silent while crying because he didn’t think his Kryptonian DNA would save him from being crushed by your words. At the same time, you didn’t have to speak them for him to understand the potential sentiment. He could tell from the muted nature of your sadness right now. You had gotten your hopes up. You believed that because tonight was special, it would be different. He would show up, and it wouldn’t be like countless other dates and occasions.

He stood there with you in the hall, rubbing your back and rocking back and forth with you a little. After a few minutes, he nudged your head back with the tip of his nose. “Let me see those pretty eyes, baby,” he whispered.

His own vision had adjusted to the dark by now. When you tilted your head upwards, he could see the small spheres all glossy, your lashes wet with the recent tears. He leaned in and kissed the shiny streaks running down your cheeks. The right one first, then the left. His hand cupped your face with all the care in the world.

“There’s my girl,” he murmured as he brushed the tip of his nose against yours.

You gazed back into his bright blue eyes. God, you knew you should make this harder for him. He deserved to work for your forgiveness, but nothing made you weak like Clark. One glimpse of his eyes all wide, looking at you like a scolded puppy, and any anger towards him melted away like ice left out in the summer.

He laid a few more kisses along your face, moving his lips from one feature to the next. “You’re too sweet to be crying like this on your special day,” he said.

His thumbs swiped away remaining tears while your eyes began to dry up. Warmth filled your body again, blooming up in the hollow cold left by your prior loneliness. Looking at his face pushed the sadness away. Maybe today hadn’t been totally ruined.

“I won’t let this happen again, alright?” he told you in a hushed tone despite no one else being in the house. He made sure not to promise though. “I’ll get a calendar or something. I’ll write notes for myself. I’ll write ‘em all over my body like in that movie we watched last summer.”

“The movie that you left halfway through,” you said, your voice gently teasing now.

He exhaled sharply, and a smile spread across his lips. His eyes held a degree of shame still. It felt wrong to laugh about something like that when it was a piece of the issue at hand. But he could tell you were trying to lighten the mood, and he wouldn’t make you feel bad about that.

“I still got the idea,” he defended and ducked in, giving you another long kiss.

His arms pulled you tighter against his body while his hands swept down onto your back. One stayed between your shoulder blades as the other ventured South. His fingers glided over the small of your back, coasting over the top of your ass.

“Let me make it up to you,” he said.

You bit your lip at the sensation of his roaming hands. Allowing him a few more smooches, you finally pulled back to catch your breath for a moment.

“How do you wanna do that?” you asked.

He grinned, those sharp canines peeking out near the corners of his mouth. “I have something in mind, but any way you want is fine, baby,” he murmured.

“You can try your way…” you agreed. You had an idea of what he was picturing, and it wasn’t something you felt the urge to interfere with.

“Try,” he repeated playfully before pulling you into another series of kisses.

The two of you stumbled away from the front door and your gifts left on the end table. His feet followed yours down the hallway in the direction of your bedroom. Your back bumped into the wall a few times before you both slipped through the entrance of your room and found your ways to the bed.

The backs of your thighs hit your soft mattress first. Your smooth skin rubbed against the floral sheets spread over your bed. You let yourself fall back, and Clark’s body went with yours.

You shifted around, scooting up so that your head was on one of the plush pillows near the top of the mattress. He ended up with his frame hovering above your own. Only a few seconds passed before he pressed his lips to your again. Sometimes it felt as though Clark could kiss you all night. He paid so much attention to your lips, put so much dedication into every flick of his tongue and teasing pull with his teeth.

Your hands tried to return the same amount of reverence with their touches. You rubbed them up over his broad shoulders and along the nape of his neck. Your fingertips twisted the ends of his dark hair before sliding between the strands and scratching his scalp.

A groan rumbled up from his chest. You responded with a softer moan of your own. To go with the sound, your legs rose up against his sides and pressed into his hips. You pulled him closer, subtly urged him to tend to you where you wanted him most.

He finally pulled his mouth off you a minute later. His breaths now came out in harsh pants. The warm air fanned over your face while you stared up at your boyfriend. A cute shade of pink filled his cheeks while his pupils dilated with lust for you. His lips shimmered with your saliva under the faint light of the moon beaming through the window.

“My perfect, pretty girl,” he mumbled before dropping his head to your neck.

His attention focused there now. He kissed all over the column of your throat, moving without much strategy. Most of the time, Clark was very eager for you. He explored your body based on pure desire and nothing else. It always ended up feeling good for you though. Seeing his passion was half the pleasure.

While his lips worked above, his hands groped at you below. His large palms massaged your hips and smoothed up and down your sides.  His fingers kneaded your soft flesh. The feel of it alone had him starting to fill out in his jeans.

“You deserve so much, baby. So much more than I give you. Gonna try to make you feel how much you deserve,” he muttered against your skin, lust-fueled thoughts escaping without resistance.

At your waist, his fingers hooked over the hem of your pajama bottoms and gave the fabric a shove. “Lift your hips for me, honey,” he directed.

You did so without a question, allowing him to pull the garment the rest of the way off. It was so frustrating for Clark sometimes. He had the ability to literally tear your clothes to shreds. If he wanted to, those pants could have been gone faster than you could have asked him not to rip them. But for now, he still had to play the game by normal rules.

He moved his way over to your collarbone and placed a few kisses along the neckline of your shirt before migrating South. His hands fell from your hips to your thighs. He gave them the same treatment, squeezing and grabbing. But he wasted no time in parting them.

With one palm on each, he spread you open for himself and settled between your open legs. The sight of your panties greeted him. The dainty cloth covered the precious part of you he was aching to see. He stared at the material for a moment. It wasn’t wet yet, but it was tight against your folds. He could see so much of you without really seeing anything at all.

Leaning in, he kissed your pussy over the fabric. It was chaste. Something less sinful than anything he’d done to your mouth. His thumb came next. He ran the thick digit from the bottom of your slit all the way up to your clit. He kept the pace nice and slow, teasing enough that a shudder came over you as you fought the urge to squirm.

His eyes flitted up to your face. He couldn’t get enough of how cute you were. The desperation was written all over your face.

“I’m not gonna tease, sweetheart. Not on your birthday. Not when I already made you wait too long,” he cooed.

His long index finger hooked around the seat of your panties and gave them a good tug. He worked the small scrap off of you and tossed it to the floor. They landed near the mirror. He only noticed because beside it was a dress, slung over the back of a chair. It was lacy and layered and cute. Probably the one you had on earlier. He could only imagine how sad you looked while taking it off and swapping it out for the more comfortable clothes you had on now.

He had to make this good for you.

Returning his focus to the junction of your thighs, his eyes fixating on your cunt in front of him. Your folds gleamed with the beginnings of arousal. His teasing had been just enough to get the fire started inside of you.

He looked back up at your face and brought his own that much closer. “You don’t know how lucky I feel to call this mine,” he said before kissing your clit.

A broken whine crackled out into the air. The touch was so gentle, so soft. It didn’t really feel like much. But the sight of him, the sound of his voice, his mere existence had your body reacting like a live wire right now.

Clark stuck out his tongue and dragged it up the wet expanse of your pussy. The first couple licks were exploratory, but after a few more, they became greedy. He lapped at your cunt. The tip of his tongue swirled over your entrance and danced across your sensitive bundle of nerves. His eyes fluttered shut at the taste of you.

Meanwhile, more sweet noises poured from your lips. You whined and moan, a few times only managing to choke out a breathy mewl. One of your hands clutched at his hair while the other alternated between clawing at the blankets and covering your face. It flipped back and forth between the two, trying to find the one that would bring some stability.

Nothing you do could fight off the feeling of him though. His lips spread and closed, making out with your pussy. He got louder down there. Wet noises echoed between your thighs. None of them bothered him. He was wrapped up in the task of pleasing you. Nothing else mattered.

Clark didn’t get embarrassed in moments like these. Sometimes while on top of you he could get flustered, but with your pussy like this, he couldn’t string together the thoughts that would cause actual embarrassment. All he could fathom was a craving for more of you.

In these moments, you surrounded him completely. Your thighs wrapped around his head, pressing your skin against him. Your taste flooded his mouth. Your scent filled his nose. All he could hear were your needy cries. It was heaven, absolute paradise.

Grabbing your legs tighter, he held you in place more. You hadn’t started squirming yet, but by the time you felt the urge to, you’d be pinned in place. Somehow he put more effort into this now. He boosted your hips a bit before devouring you.

His mouth worked with desperation you’d never seen from him before. You called out his name before choking out another moan and letting your head fall back. He ground his hips into the mattress below him, chasing whatever physical pleasure he could find to match the bliss he felt inside.

While on top of you, Clark could run his mouth. Endless babbles of praise and cooed praises would fall from his lips. But right now, he was fixated on using his mouth for something more important. He could feel your muscles flexing against his tongue, clenching around nothing. You were getting close.

“That’s it, baby. Feels good?” he asked when he finally pulled himself back for some air. His fingers took over his mouth's duty, rubbing your clit fast and with good pressure.

Your hips bucked as a yelp flew out of you. Despite that, you still nodded as fast as you could. “Mhm. Gonna cum,” you whimpered, as if he needed the warning.

“Go ahead, birthday girl. You can cum whenever you're ready,” he said. He smacked a kiss on your thigh before diving back in and nuzzling into your cunt. His tongue swirled with fervent admiration before lashing over your little bud.

The rapid motion flicks you right over the edge. You gasped before whining. Your hips squirmed while you closed your fingers into a fist around Clark’s hair. You grabbed the soft tresses so tightly you might have pulled a few out. He didn’t complain about any of it though. How could he? It felt like everything in the world was perfect when he had you like this.

He rolled his own hips against the mattress a few more times. You were so caught up in your own release that you didn’t hear the whimpers coming from him. You didn’t catch the vibrations from his moans reverberating against your skin. His own pleasure did nothing but spur him on to keep working you through yours.

As you started to come down, he was still going. His movements were a bit sloppier, but he didn’t have any plans of stopping. It was when you whimpered and pushed at his head that he backed off. 

He looked up at you. Despite the smirk on his face, his voice came out gentle. “No more? You too sensitive?”

You nodded. “If you can stay, we have the whole night,” you offered.

His smirk broke into a full smile, and he crawled up the mattress to peck your lips. “I can stay. It’s still your birthday after all. We got some more celebrating to do.”

“Mhm,” you agreed. You kissed him again, tasting yourself as your lips met. Your hand trailed down his body to the waistline of his jeans. Before you could even ask, his fingers wrapped around your wrist and guided your limb back up.

“I’m fine, baby,” he said with a sheepish smile, “Plus it’s your birthday. It’s supposed to be all about you.”

“Oh my god, you’re really pushing the birthday thing,” you teased.

“I’m gonna keep pushing it until midnight because it’s true,” he said back. His hands cupped your face while he looked down at you.

After the two of you messed around a little more, Clark remembered the things he had left out by the front door. Pushing himself off the bed, he headed for the door. He was quick about getting your things, but he paused on the way back.

Instead of going straight to you, he walked into your kitchen. Rummaging through some of the drawers crammed full of spare parts and random coupons, he found a half-used pack of birthday candles and a lighter.

After opening the box that held your cake, he put it on a plate and jammed a pink-striped candle into the icing of your cupcake. With a click of the lighter, he topped it off with a small flame.

He headed back to your room, walking slowly so as to not have a surprise-ruining mishap on the way. Once he appeared in the doorway, you glanced at him. Your eyes caught on the lit up cupcake, and your whole face brightened. He chuckled and walked further into the room. Seeing that made the beginning of the evening sting less.

“You’re not singing,” you teased as you sat up on your bed and watched.

“That’s because I want you to have a nice birthday,” he replied.

The words brought actual laughter out of you, but you sat there patiently waiting as he walked over with the plate. He sat down beside you and held the plate before you. The whole time he remained careful, conscious of not getting the flame too close to any part of you.

“You gotta make your wish now,” he said and kissed your cheek.

Smiling at him, you thought for a second before turning towards the small flicker of fire. You stared at it for a moment, and then blew a small stream of air. It danced under the breeze before dissolving into thin smoke. He reached over and popped the stick of wax out for you, so you could eat your treat without impediment.

“What’d you wish for?” he asked as he brought the frosting-coated end to his lips.

“You know the rules. If I tell you, it’ll never come true,” you answered and took a bite.

He rolled his eyes, giving you a little poke to the side. “What about last year? That one come true yet or is it still a secret?”

“Still a secret,” you affirmed. You extended the bitten cupcake out to him. “Want some?”

“No, I’m alright. Already had my dessert,” he teased as he got up to throw away the candle. The words earned him a whine and a smack from you along with some grumbling about him being corny. But you had a smile on your face now, and that’s all he could want.

Is it true that indophobic westerners claim that Sanskrit didn't originate in India?

That's not indo-phobia, that's what the research has revealed, including the Vedic religion and the people of northern India, these things were imports by outside groups.

Or rather, were created via invasions during the stone age, copper age and bronze age, how do we know this?

The peoples of northern India are closer related to the peoples of Europe, while the people of southern India are not.

Sanskrit is also closely related to the Indo European languages, while other languages in India are not, they are closer related to the Dravidian languages.

Another evidence of this is the prominence of the wheel as a symbol in India, along with the chariot being a symbol of divinity, the wheel was an invention that most likely originally came from eastern Europe, with the oldest evidence of a wheel coming from Slovenia;

The spoked wheel and chariot were also Sintashta inventions.

Horses most likely were first domesticated there too, allowing these peoples to invade with their pastoralist lifestyle into northern India.

The people most accredited to the spread of Indo European languages across not only Europe, but Eurasia are the Yamnaya people, who are most likely one of the groups responsible for the Aryan invasions of northern India.

Blue eyes and fair blonde hair also originally evolved in Europe, the presence of these gene expressions in the northern Indian, Iranian and some Pakistani minorities, is evidence of these populations being subjected to European invasions in the Bronze Age.

However, the Yamnaya were brunettes, but the later Andronovo peoples possessed the blonde and blue eyed genes, meaning they also invaded these regions.

The peoples of India, Iran and Pakistan were subjected to waves of migrations and invasions from Europe and the Mid East, at least two distinct waves occurred.

The first related to the Copper Age Namazga farming culture from the southern edge of the steppe, who exhibit both the Iranian and Eastern European HG components found in many contemporary Indian and Pakistani groups across the subcontinent.

The second, as mentioned above, came during the late Bronze Age, from similar steppe sources, with a impact on genetics more localized in the north and west.

HG stands for Hunter Gatherers.

Who inspired the tales that created the Indian religions, Sanskrit and influenced their genetics?

Hello! I've been told to ask you this =D

What do you think about Jimmy as a minecraft player, what is he?

It's for a project =3

ooh a project, how fun :0

i should preface this by saying i’m not the BEST person to give this opinion, cuz despite how much i write jimmy, i uh… don’t actually watch his pov? i haven’t seen any of empires (except the hermit’s crossover in s2), i don’t watch his streams, and i don’t watch the one-off vids he posts on his channel. most of my knowledge of jimmy comes from his appearances in other pov’s life series episodes and how ppl portray him in fandom.

howEVER, that said, i’m curious how my interpretation would line up with other ppl’s. i view minecraft players as generally fitting into a few broad categories- tho there can def be overlap between them or a jack-of-all-trades situation. and this prob applies more to people who actually play minecraft professionally (ie. ‘play video games for a living’) than the casual player (such as myself hagshdha).

builders: have a creative eye and practiced skill in building to the point where they can, generally speaking, throw down a decent build on the fly (things that require a lot of planning/detail work often drafted in creative mode first). have good understanding of achieving a certain shape and color with their block placements. may or may not include terraforming ability. generally drawn to the game’s building aspect and spend a lot of time/care making things look good.

redstoners: have an adequate amount of base knowledge for how most redstone components work and interact with each other, tho they may occasionally still use tutorials or take inspiration from others (can only reinvent the wheel so many times). usually capable of making simple redstone machines/contraptions on the fly. generally drawn to the game by the possibility of farms and automation. some take it to extreme game-breaking lengths (doc).

competitors: have highly-trained skill in areas such as PVP, parkour, and/or any other multiplayer server type minigame. think hypixel and MCC. this isn’t to say they don’t have their own solo worlds for building or other projects, or don’t participate in smps, but their main draw to the game initially was competitive multiplayer and it features heavily on their channels. to me, speed-runners/challenge-seekers are a subcategory of this.

explorer: this type doesn’t actually show up often in popular mcyt bc it’s a largely solitary- and in some ppl’s opinion, boring- experience. but these are the players that spend hours in their solo worlds just traveling around, mining out massive caves, or doing any other kind of repetitive grindy work as a manner of relaxation. some ppl really enjoy this aspect of minecraft and it’s a major draw for them. special mention for kurtjmac, a mcyter who’s spent 13 years and counting just walking to the farlands in an old version of the game (tho he does other things on his channel as well).

and now for what category i think jimmy fits best in (which again, doesn’t mean he can’t build or do other things). i don’t have a good name for it rn so i’m just gonna call it ‘the sillies’ (affectionate).

sillies: above all else, they’re here to have fun. most, if not all, of their content is on multiplayer worlds (both public servers and private smps), and on these worlds they are extremely social, making a concentrated effort to interact with others even if not legitimately roleplaying. high amounts of pranks and hijinks abound, as well as ‘committing to the bit.’ lots of videos feature them doing some kind of funny little challenge, game, or mod with their friends. again, that doesn’t mean they can’t engage w the other aspects of the game or be skilled in those categories, but generally, it’s not their main objective and not how they spend most of their time.

that’s what i’ve got! obviously u could split all of these into many subcategories, and your average player is gonna be fairly well-balanced. but for our pro cubitos, i think this is a nice way to categorizing things (and it at least makes sense in my mind).

Aesthetic Prince Value Theory of a Signature Scent

The Value of Beauty Added to Increase Human Connection 

À rebours (French pronunciation: [a ʁ(ə).buʁ]; translated Against Nature or Against the Grain) is an 1884 novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans. The narrative centers on a single character: Jean des Esseintes, an eccentric, reclusive, ailing aesthete. The last scion of an aristocratic family, Des Esseintes loathes nineteenth-century bourgeois society and tries to retreat into an ideal artistic world of his own creation. The narrative is almost entirely a catalogue of the neurotic Des Esseintes's aesthetic tastes, musings on literature, painting, and religion, and hyperaesthetic sensory experiences.

Many modern fougère perfumes have various citrus, herbaceous, green, floral and animalic notes included. The most common additions to the basic fragrance blend include vetiver and geranium. Bergamot is often present to add sharpness to the lavender top-note.

Fougère, pronounced [fu.ʒɛʁ], is one of the main olfactive families of perfumes. The name comes from the French language word for "fern". Fougère perfumes are made with a blend of fragrances: top-notes are sweet, with the scent of lavender flowers; as the more volatile components evaporate, the scents of oakmoss, derived from a species of lichen and described as woody, sharp and slightly sweet, and coumarin, similar to the scent of new-mown hay, become noticeable. 

A fragrance wheel [1] also known as aroma wheel, fragrance circle, perfume wheel or smell wheel, is a circular diagram showing the inferred relationships among olfactory groups based upon similarities and differences in their odor.[1] The groups bordering one another are implied to share common olfactory characteristics. Fragrance wheel is frequently used as a classification tool in oenology and perfumery.

Aesthetic hedonism is a theory about the nature of aesthetic value or beauty. It states that a thing, like a landscape, a painting, or a song, has aesthetic value if people are pleased by it or get aesthetic pleasure from it. It is a subjective theory because it focuses on how people respond to aesthetically engaging things. It contrasts with objective theories, which assert that aesthetic value only depends on objective or mind-independent features of things, like symmetry or harmonic composition. Some aesthetic hedonists believe that any type of pleasure is relevant to the aesthetic value of a thing. Others offer a more nuanced characterization, saying that aesthetic value is only based on how people with a well-developed taste respond to it.[32]

Theories of aesthetic response[1] or functional theories of art[2] are in many ways the most intuitive theories of art. At its base, the term "aesthetic" refers to a type of phenomenal experience, and aesthetic definitions identify artworks with artifacts intended to produce aesthetic experiences. Nature can be beautiful and it can produce aesthetic experiences, but nature does not possess the intentional function of producing those experiences. For such a function, an intention is necessary, and thus agency – the artist.

In ethics, intrinsic value is a property of anything that is valuable on its own. Intrinsic value is in contrast to instrumental value (also known as extrinsic value), which is a property of anything that derives its value from a relation to another intrinsically valuable thing.[1] Intrinsic value is always something that an object has "in itself" or "for its own sake", and is an intrinsic property. An object with intrinsic value may be regarded as an end, or in Kantian terminology, as an end-in-itself.[2]

The Oxford Handbook of Value Theory provides three modern definitions of intrinsic and instrumental value:

They are "the distinction between what is good 'in itself' and what is good 'as a means'."[1]: 14 

"The concept of intrinsic value has been glossed variously as what is valuable for its own sake, in itself, on its own, in its own right, as an end, or as such. By contrast, extrinsic value has been characterized mainly as what is valuable as a means, or for something else's sake."[1]: 29 

"Among nonfinal values, instrumental value—intuitively, the value attaching a means to what is finally valuable—stands out as a bona fide example of what is not valuable for its own sake."[1]: 34 

Culture Extremist and Culinary Nationalism The Far Right: By Olivier Ribadeau Dumas

Blue Potato-Blue Cheese White Fish Rosé Wine for French Flag

Individual social antagonism is defined as the probability that an individual disagrees with another, because of differences in group affiliation and cultural preferences (Desmet et al., 2017). We use scope of linguistic capability or language diversity and stated out-group trust as measures of social antagonism.

Culinary linguistics, a sub-branch of applied linguistics, is the study of food and language across various interdisciplinary fields such as linguistic, anthropology, sociolinguistics, and consumption politics and globalisation.[1]

Food sovereignty is a food system in which the people who produce, distribute, and consume food also control the mechanisms and policies of food production and distribution. This stands in contrast to the present corporate food regime, in which corporations and market institutions control the global food system. Food sovereignty emphasizes local food economies, sustainable food availability, and centers culturally appropriate foods and practices.[1] 

Agribusiness is the industry, enterprises, and the field of study[1] of value chains in agriculture[2] and in the bio-economy,[3] in which case it is also called bio-business[4][5] or bio-enterprise. The primary goal of agribusiness is to maximize profit while satisfying the needs of consumers for products related to natural resources. Agribusinesses comprise farms, food and fiber processing, forestry, fisheries, biotechnology and biofuel enterprises and their input suppliers.

Food politics is a term which encompasses not only food policy and legislation, but all aspects of the production, control, regulation, inspection, distribution and consumption of commercially grown, and even sometimes home grown, food. The commercial aspects of food production are affected by ethical, cultural, and health concerns, as well as environmental concerns about farming and agricultural practices and retailing methods. The term also encompasses biofuels, GMO crops and pesticide use, the international food market, food aid, food security and food sovereignty, obesity, labor practices and immigrant workers, issues of water usage, animal cruelty, and climate change.

Gastronationalism or culinary nationalism is the use of food and its history, production, control, preparation and consumption as a way of promoting nationalism and national identity. It may involve arguments between two or more regions or countries about whether a particular dish or preparation is claimed by one of those regions or countries and has been appropriated or co-opted by the others.

Day One Hundred and Seven

It's a brisk morning as I wake in the pre-dawn twilight in a park bench in Pevensey. I have my bivvy huddled around me to keep me nice and warm, but I know I'll soon miss the chill air. It's another clear sky above meaning the temperature will soon rise!

I get my gear stowed away once more and it's back to the road again, following Route 2 as it loops past Pevensey and heads out around the Pevensey Levels.

I'm soon back to the shore once more at Normans Bay, and the road leads on into Hastings.

It's another long stretch of coastline riding along the promenade sections here, and with the sun rising over the water makes for a beautiful start to the day.

Right along the length of Hastings' beach I ride, before the route swings inland to track up and around the cliffs past Hastings Old Town.

After an initial steep grind up through the back roads, the path leads on to a long steady climb into the hills of Hastings Country Park. It's some effort in the rising heat, but the nice leafy surrou offer some nice scenery as well as appreciated shade.

Cresting the hills, the route leads back out to the roads once again, and it's off on a zooming downhill through Fairlight.

It's at this point where my.bike begins to make some very worrying noises, which worsen as my pace increases. fearing the worst, I pull over to try and figure out what's awry.

Alas, what I find is one of the worst outcomes I'd been fearing over this adventure - one of the spokes on my rear wheel has gone kaput and snapped.

That's a fairly major problem! There's a significant buckle to the wheel, and the spoke in question is threaded behind the rear chainset. In most circumstances, modern bikes can be maintained and repaired with a fairly basic set of tools, but this is one situation that requires some more specialised equipment which I do not have with me.

With a check of the map showing no bike shops within many miles, I'm going to have to get my own way out of this. Whilst properly trueing a wheel can be a bitnof a dark art, it's not something I'm proficient at, though I do have a spoke wrench in my pack for emergencies such as this.

I manage to snap off as much of the spoke as I can to prevent it making its way into any other components and set to work. With a little trial and error I'm able to at least get the rim righted enough that the wheel can rotate freely - it's very much a temporary fix and there's still a bit of buckle going on, but it should be enough to at least get kenin motion once more.

Hell, with only a couple hundred miles left in this voyage, it might even be enough to see me home, but I'll have to take some care and a pinch of luck for that. But I've had a good dose of that so far, and Ol' Bessie is quite a tank of a bike, so fingers crossed!

Nothing for it now but to load the gear back on and gently get underway. I'm taking it slow and steady following the road out past Pett Level and on through Winchelsea, but everything seems to be rolling ok so far, so my emergency tinkering may have proven fruitful.

Route 2 leads on down a very rocky pathway to Rye, which I don't like the look of given my current wheel concerns, so I travek up and over the nearby hill to instead take the road into town.

The B2089 has a closure on part of it, typical given my sudden reliance on it. However, as various cars and vans ignore the signs and are then forced to turn around, being on bike has a great advantage in that I can instantly jump off and become a pedestrian, walking around the roadworks and carrying on.

After a shirt break in the park in Rye to refuel and calm my nerves a little, I follow on through the twisting streets it's on to some nice segregated pathways around farm pastures and nature reserves to head past the beautiful beach of Camber Sands, and then a long trek around the roads to head around the MOD firing range at Dungeness.

With a busy A road hitting the coast past here, I stick with NCN Route 2 as it passes through Lydd and takes off around the country lanes to avoid the heavy traffic.

It's a nice meander of quiet farm roads, though the sun is doing its best to wring more sweat from.

Twisting around through Romney Marsh, the roads eventually deliver me to a towpath beside the Royal Military Canal.

I take a welcome break in the shade of the trees for a moment, then head down this lovely trail as it leads down the canalside, past numerous picnic spots and beautiful green areas, before arriving in the pleasant town of Hythe.

After a quick resupply, I follow on with Route 2 as it yracks further along the canal, before some less obvious signage means I head down some rougher pathways that are rife with tree roots and stones. Not what I'm after whilst nursing this wheel along!

I manage to extricate myself from the pathways and get back out to the seafront, where a great long stretch of promenade riding awaits me.

Around and under the cliffsides the pathing continues, leading on beside the beach to round the corner and lead on to the famous port of Folkstone.

The seaside riding finally ends just shy of the harbour, where I'm obliged to head up around the footpaths and back to the roads.

Rounding the edge of Folkstone, the road begins to climb up and as I ascend I get a great sight of the iconic white cliffs that South East Kent is famed for.

The gradient increases as it's time to slog up onto the top of the cliffs,l. Thankfully the route is away from traffic as it tracks a pathway up and up, but it's still some heavy going.

Finally reaching the top of the climb, I turj to receive an outstanding view of Folkstone far below. With the day still being clear and bright, it's even possible to make out the coast of France from up here!

I head a little further around the road towards Capel-le-Ferne, past an old pillbox, but soon realise that rush hour is kicking in and the roads ahead are soon to be heaving with impatient commuters.

Given the good mileage made today, and the stresses of worrying repairs, I think it's time to call it for the day. I'd thankfully spotted a nice secluded spot on my slog up the cliffs that should offer a fair night's rest, as well as a beautiful view for the morning, so it's time to get some rest ready for tomorrow.

TTFN!

Revolutionizing Agriculture: The Power of Tractor Wheels

The Backbone of Modern Farming

The agricultural landscape has undergone a profound transformation over the centuries, evolving from rudimentary tools to sophisticated machinery that powers modern farming. At the heart of this revolution lies the humble yet indispensable tractor wheels. These robust components are far more than mere accessories; they are the foundation upon which agricultural efficiency and productivity rest. Designed to navigate diverse terrains, from muddy fields to rocky hills, these wheels ensure that tractors can perform their tasks with precision and reliability. Their significance extends beyond the farm, influencing the design and innovation strategies of industrial wheel manufacturers who strive to meet the ever-growing demands of the agricultural sector.

The journey of these wheels began with the advent of mechanized farming in the late 19th century. Early tractors relied on simple steel wheels, which, while durable, were limited in their ability to provide traction on varied surfaces. As farming practices evolved, so did the need for wheels that could adapt to different soil types and weather conditions. This necessity spurred innovation, leading to the development of pneumatic tires and advanced tread patterns that enhanced grip and reduced soil compaction. Today, these wheels are engineered with cutting-edge materials and technologies, reflecting the expertise of manufacturers who specialize in creating solutions for heavy-duty applications.

Engineering Excellence in Wheel Design

The design of tractor wheels is a testament to the ingenuity of industrial wheel manufacturers.

Modern wheels are typically constructed from high-strength rubber compounds reinforced with steel or composite materials, ensuring durability and flexibility. The tread patterns are meticulously designed to optimize traction while minimizing damage to crops and soil. For instance, deep-lug treads are ideal for wet, muddy fields, while shallower treads suit drier, firmer ground.

Manufacturers also consider the weight distribution of tractors, as uneven loads can lead to premature wear or reduced efficiency. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design and finite element analysis, allow for the creation of wheels that balance strength, weight, and performance. These innovations ensure that the wheels can handle the dynamic stresses of plowing, planting, and harvesting, all while maintaining stability and reducing fuel consumption. The collaboration between farmers and manufacturers has been instrumental in refining these designs, ensuring that each wheel is tailored to the specific needs of the agricultural industry.

The Role of Wheels in Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainability has become a cornerstone of modern agriculture, and tractor wheels play a pivotal role in this movement. By reducing soil compaction, these wheels help preserve the soil’s structure, promoting healthier crops and higher yields. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on eco-friendly materials and production processes to align with global sustainability goals. For example, some wheels are now made with recyclable materials or bio-based compounds, reducing their environmental footprint. Additionally, the development of low-pressure tires allows tractors to operate efficiently without exerting excessive pressure on the soil, further supporting sustainable farming practices.

The expertise of industrial wheel manufacturers extends to creating solutions that enhance fuel efficiency. Lightweight yet durable wheels reduce the energy required to move heavy machinery, lowering fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. These advancements are critical as the agricultural sector faces pressure to reduce its environmental impact while meeting the food demands of a growing global population. The integration of smart technologies, such as sensors embedded in wheels to monitor pressure and wear, is another example of how manufacturers are driving innovation to support sustainable agriculture.

Challenges and Future Innovations

Despite their advancements, tractor wheels face challenges that require ongoing innovation. Harsh weather conditions, such as extreme heat or cold, can degrade tire materials over time, necessitating the development of more resilient compounds. Additionally, the diverse needs of farmers across different regions—ranging from small-scale operations to large industrial farms—require manufacturers to offer a wide range of wheel types and sizes. This diversity poses logistical and production challenges, but it also underscores the adaptability of industrial wheel manufacturers in meeting global demands.

Powering the Fields: Tyres and Wheels in Agriculture

The Pulse of the Countryside

Across the rolling fields where the land whispers tales of growth and harvest, wheels and tyres form the heartbeat of rural life. Agricultural tyres and wheels are the quiet giants that propel the machines of farming, carrying tractors, plows, and harvesters over soil that shifts from soft loam to stubborn clay. These rugged companions are more than mere parts—they’re the lifeline of agriculture, ensuring the earth’s bounty flows from seed to table.

The journey of agricultural tyres and wheels is a story of evolution, stretching from the crude wooden rims of early carts to today’s engineered marvels. Designed to grip, endure, and protect, they meet the demands of a landscape that’s as unpredictable as it is fertile. Their presence is a steady rhythm beneath the hum of machinery, a testament to the resilience that turns vast acres into thriving farmland.

The Might of Tractor Wheels

At the forefront of this rural symphony stand tractor wheels, the steadfast pillars that bear the weight of modern farming. These wheels are crafted to conquer the uneven terrain of fields, their sturdy frames and deep-treaded tyres clawing into the earth with purpose. They’re the unsung heroes that keep tractors rolling, pulling heavy loads through mud, sand, and stone without faltering.

Tractor wheels are built for the long haul, enduring the grind of planting seasons and harvest rushes. Their design balances power with care—wide enough to distribute weight and prevent soil compaction, yet tough enough to withstand the wear of rocky paths. In every furrow they carve, these wheels embody the grit and determination of the farmers who rely on them, turning raw land into a canvas of productivity.

Agricultural Tyres and Wheels: Engineering Resilience

Agricultural tyres and wheels are a study in tailored strength, designed to tackle the diverse challenges of the farm. Their tyres grip wet soil with deep lugs, preventing slippage during spring rains, while their wheels provide the stability to haul towering loads of grain. This synergy ensures that machinery moves with precision, protecting the delicate balance of the soil while driving the work forward.

Their versatility is their magic—flotation tyres spread pressure across soft ground to shield crops, narrow ones slip between rows to tend delicate plants, and rugged sets take on hilly pastures with ease. These components shrug off punctures and fatigue, built to last through long days under the sun. Agricultural tyres and wheels don’t just roll—they adapt, meeting the land’s every mood with unwavering resolve.

Tractor Wheels: The Backbone of the Farm

Tractor wheels shine as the backbone of agricultural machinery, their robust construction supporting the heaviest tasks. A tractor’s wheels must navigate the unpredictable—sinking mud one day, hard-packed earth the next—while maintaining traction and stability. Their deep treads bite into the ground, pulling through obstacles, while their reinforced rims endure the strain of attachments like plows or trailers.

Their role extends beyond power to preservation. By distributing weight evenly, tractor wheels minimize the crush of soil, keeping it loose and fertile for future seasons. This blend of strength and gentleness makes them indispensable, a bridge between the brute force of machinery and the tender needs of the earth. They roll with a quiet confidence, ensuring that every task, from sowing to reaping, unfolds seamlessly.

Sustainability and the Road Ahead

The worlds of agricultural tyres and wheels and tractor wheels are turning toward a sustainable future. Tyres are being crafted with eco-friendly compounds that cut fuel use by reducing rolling resistance, while wheels incorporate recycled materials to lighten their environmental load. These green innovations ensure that farming’s vital work continues with a gentler touch on the planet.

Technology is also paving the way forward. Agricultural tyres and wheels now feature sensors to monitor pressure and wear, optimizing performance, while tractor wheels experiment with designs that boost durability and grip. These advancements promise a future where rural machinery is smarter, tougher, and more efficient, blending tradition with progress. Together, they’re rolling toward a horizon where agriculture thrives in harmony with the earth.

Conclusion: Wheels of Life and Legacy

Agricultural tyres and wheels and tractor wheels weave a narrative of endurance, ingenuity, and care. From the fields where tyres grip the soil to the tractors where wheels bear the load, they power the systems that sustain us. They offer more than mobility—they provide the foundation for growth, resilience, and a sustainable tomorrow. As we cultivate the land, these rolling marvels stand as steadfast allies, turning the wheels of progress with every season’s turn.
