Smart Buildings Introduction

There is a prevailing trend of building automation in the present times, which allows for automated centralized control of a building's HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), lighting, electrical, security systems, access control, and other correlated systems through a Building Automation System (BAS) or Building Management System (BMS). The idea of building automation is more commonly known as Smart Buildings. Any structure that comprises automated processes to systematically operate and control the building’s operations including lighting, ventilation, heating, air conditioning, security and other systems is known as smart buildings.

A smart building consists of microchips, sensors, and actuators, in order to accumulate data and administer it as per the business’ services and functions. This kind of smart infrastructure helps operators, owners, and facility managers to enhance asset performance and reliability, which cuts off energy use, upgrades how the capacity is used and reduces the environmental impact of buildings. Many decades ago, buildings just provided mankind the essentials which are shelter, safety, and temperature control and at the uniform efficiency level for years. However, modern buildings, or preceding structures that have been transformed to smart structures, are constantly connected to a network with adaptable and smart software.

Smart Buildings Market Dynamics

We spend most of our life living in these structures called buildings, be it our home, workplace or any other place. At the very beginning, buildings were just the structure made of sticks, stones, animal skins and other natural substances, which just used to fulfil basic needs of mankind including shelter and provide a safe and comfortable place to reside. Although, now that time has changed enormously, just fulfilling basic needs isn’t enough.

The building occupants and the entire community, in the modern-day world, are starting to look outside the four walls of their house and acknowledging the significance of their building on the electrical grid as well as on the whole global environment. Thereby, the idea of “Smart Buildings” arose which uses technology to accumulate data about the activities in the building between systems so as to advance the building's performance. The accumulated data is then used to automate several different processes, ranging from lighting, heating and ventilation to air conditioning and security. The building owners are more encouraged in present times to look after the environment and surroundings as well as to reduce energy costs, which further promotes the idea of smart buildings in the global society.

Furthermore, several governments and regulatory authorities are also encouraging the idea of smart construction and infrastructure across the world along with imposing several laws and regulations to encourage current and future operations. Owing to which, the global smart buildings market is projected to grow expeditiously in the forthcoming years.

Introducing Loreteller

Allow me to introduce this project titled "Loreteller".

I have been curating writing tools, nuggets of psychology wisdom, mental models, and story bits for the past decade. I have a background in information systems and creative writing, and have worked in branding and design for a ton of companies.

Corporate marketing psychologist by day, but a creative writer by night: I'm building an expansive world for my novels and curating these tools along the way. In fact, there's a ton of knowledge gatekept by marketers and designers regarding character psychology, compelling writing, and narrative hooks that deserves to be shared.

Loreteller is the synthesis of years of piecing together mental models, plot structures, and narrative systems. Built for brand designers, dungeon masters, marketers, novelists, and storytellers of all kinds - and I'm exciting to share it.

What if you had an encyclopedic list of every aspect of character, plot, personality, and brand?

When I first started my career as a writer, that certainly didn't exist. I hope these tools inspire your own creativity and stories.

Whether you’re a marketer by day, novelist by night, dungeon master by weekend, or all three, these tools are designed to give you the express route to making smart narrative decisions. Or at least, to think outside of the box!

Charactercrafting, storysmithing, themeweaving, worldbuilding, gameforging - there's a ton of info to benefit from, and I'll be sharing bits of it on Tumblr.

See the full list of tools and guides here: https://free.loreteller.com

Let me know if you have any questions!

[truly-sincerely]

How “smart” you believe someone to be depends a lot on what intellectual qualities you value, so there’s a lot of divisive opinions about how smart Gortash is. Some people think he’s a machiavellian genius, others think he’s fantasy elon musk. The evidence is just a little too scant for us to know definitively, but I find the concept of smarts to be fascinating so I’m gonna break down the evidence we do have as much as I can.

I’m gonna focus on his technical skills for now. Might do a part two later, re: social skills.

Gortash is not a particularly creative or original thinker, that’s not the yardstick by which his skills should be measured; his area of expertise lies in iteration / innovation and problem-solving. He’s an engineer more than an inventor. But is he a good engineer?

The Gondians do, in fact, deserve the lion’s share of the credit for the Steel Watch. Gortash’s role in their development was primarily in the realm of conceptualization and the acquisition of exotic/black market/fucked up materials. Zanner Toobin deserves the credit for making his concepts actually work together (see: How to Build a Watcher). We’re all pretty, reasonably skeptical of the ‘idea guy’, but Gortash arguably does deserve credit for the ‘out of the box’ thinking in bringing together Mechanical, Magical, and Psionic designs, from Gondian, Illithid, Githyanki, Necromantic, Infernal, and Netherese sources and having them actually, provably work together (tho with mixed results).

We also know the submersible was designed by Gondians. We don’t know who designed the Iron Throne lab (tho it was assembled by Sahuagin). The infernal power sources in the Steel Watchers and Karlach were most likely designed by infernal mechanics. Balthazar credits Gortash with the design of the slack-skinned head (which allows laymen to interface with preserved brains). Presumably the traps in Wyrm’s Rock were also designed by Gortash (but let’s be honest, they’re not very impressive). There’s also the malfunctioning trap in his office. The mad alhoon Blue Apex conceived of the suspended ceremorphosis concept, and it was probably the Elder Brain that implemented it. There are in-game books that point out that keeping all of the Steel Watch brains in one building is a huge oversight.

The picture painted by all of this evidence is not particularly flattering, but it’s also got just enough inconsistencies and exceptions to suggest a more complicated conclusion than that he’s an empty shirt. Here is a person who is very smart and who works incredibly hard but can never quite overcome the limitations of his background and personality; he’s entirely self-taught and he clearly has an attention disorder and unmanaged anger issues.

And that’s where I’ll need to segue into social skills (or lack thereof) in order to form a more comprehensive conclusion, but this post is already long enough.

[netherworldpost]

Once more social media companies are starting down the path of "hm, what if we roll in a feature... everyone will hate..." so I am again reposting my very basic in progress to being polished HOW TO MAKE A ZINE post

I will expand it when the blog launches and I don't know when the blog launches, but this will get you started. Or at least closer.

...and now...

... a ramble...

For Netherworld Post Office:

I'm going to stay where I am on various platforms

Continue building our "Let's Stay in Touch Occasionally" mailing list

I'm fleshing out a blog that is 2/3rds "slice of life stories of monsters living in paradise stories and comics," 2/3rds "Here is how and what to mail, how to make it fun and vibrant, cheaply" and 2/3rds ramble. Also discount math advisories.

The blog will be on a WordPress site. Free, no subscriptions necessary, open to read.

I'm working on a $2/month (USA postage included, global shipping a bit extra but not much) zine. Full color, 8 pages, decorated envelope, discussing Halloween, mail, and Halloween mail.

Spoiler if you're working on a zine and scrambling "how can that zine be $2?!" we lose about $0.05 - $0.10/zine and this is an acceptable loss. Marketing costs money. The strategy is people will subscribe to the zine and then once or twice a year say "oh wait I need a birthday card, I should get it from Netherworld Post" and that 1-2x year order will cover the loss + add profit to our coffers.

This point is made because I'm not seeking to start a pricing war on zines.

I AM seeking to make something fun and enjoyable and as affordable as possible so as many people as possible will say "huh that's neat."

When the blog goes live and the page about how to make a zine goes live, I'll go into the numbers on how I am making it and offer ideas and tips on how You as a Maker of Things For Sale can make one

I'll also offer tips and ideas on how You as a Maker of Things Not Necessarily For Sale can make it too, it's not exclusively for art shops.

There are no zine laws.

The split is purely "do you care about shaving $0.24 per outbound envelope because you're going to send lots or not"

Here is my reality:

As a person, I enjoy Tumblr. As a business, it's been very good to us.

Our Instagram isn't going anywhere. I'm preparing for the eventual bleed of people using it. Maybe it'll affect us, maybe it won't.

This is NOT a doom-and-gloom EVERYTHING IS DYING post. I'm not nearly online enough or smart enough to offer thoughts beyond general vibes and feelings.

I am saying "enough people have commented enough times they enjoy my business ramblings that I want to share what I know/am doing because I strongly feel a diversification of outlets helps more folk make more art and more folks making more art means there is more art and I'm going to enjoy it."

It takes at least a year -- far more likely a few years -- to build up a sizable social media following.

Sizable = "posting on Platform is more valuable to meeting our goals than Doing Something Else"

You can throw money at the problem (ads and/or hiring a consultant and/or an agency). This will scale you up far faster because they'll build the shortcuts do the research and the yadda yadda.

The reason Netherworld Post Office is able to offer very inexpensive, very high quality greeting cards, at a very low shipping price is because we are largely focusing on "What can we do in-house? How can we get smarter, more clever with our very limited resources?"

We just wrapped up Phase 01 and are about to head into Phase 02 on this plan. It's working well.

Slowly

An agreeable pace but well.

The new app-of-the-day, Cara.

Will it be great? No clue!

Will we post there? Probably not!

Why am I offering this part to the news above? I don't want to gate-keep information I have! Recurring theme to my rambles :)

There is a significant chance that someone who says "It makes sense for my personal goals to make Cara" and then that's great.

The key to building a shop or ongoing project is realizing:

There are many paths available

You have to figure out what path is right for you

It will be a unique combination exclusive to you -- elements can be shared but ultimately every path is going to have it's own unique aspects

This path will change over time

You have to tinker constantly

That's part of the fun :)

Netherworld Post Office first draft writeup on how to make zines, a tumblr post, because I love zines

Netherworld Post Office final disclaimer for reasons: Your art path is your own, it will look unique to you, it will share elements with many other folks but at the very core? It is unique to you :) All above is shared purely in hopes of giving back to the small art shop community that helped get me to where I am

Cheers everyone

I hope we all make it :)

[historia-vitae-magistras]

How do you feel about nation jobs or finances in your universe? Like are modern Matt or Alfred on government payroll even if they don’t do anything? I know you’re mentioned that Alfred is better at managing his money than Matt, is he rich??

Sorry I’m not phrasing this very well 😅

This is somewhat esoteric even for me, but I tied their abilities with money to their economic histories.

Alfred was born looking pretty pathetic next to the Spanish possessions in Mexico and South America or even British holdings in the Caribbean but, in short order, made up a significant percentage of the ships, people, and wealth of the British Empire. He became that on what was primarily the efforts of private enterprise. Alfred grows up understanding he is valuable; he represents value, and his choices create value. He's easy to love because he's a goddamn cash cow for Arthur until the Seven Years War when Britain spent a shit ton and wanted the Yanks to pay their share, and we threw a bitch fit and declared independence.

Matt, however, has the French bitching about what a money hole he is from about 20 minutes after he comes into being. The Basque, by far, made the most money initially with their fishing and whaling in the east, following what was reasonably similar to the Viking routes into Newfoundland. The fur trade that drove French settlement faced collapse about a half dozen times in his childhood, and besides a short binge economy for Ginseng and its brief boom in China, his entire existence was just fur. Dead beavers and the black market. That's it.

While the US was building ships, growing cash crops, running a fur trade economy, engaging in fishing, rope making, pitch collection, barrel making and everything and anything else, in the Caribbean, they had 90+ control over sugar production and trade routes. Canada had 10% of the population and thus 10% of the market power. We didn't do shit except freeze, fire at the British, commit war crimes against the New Englanders, ditch the farms and run off to the west to make families with indigenous women and run furs up the rivers to the point that France tried to make it illegal for people to leave the settlements of Quebec City and Montreal without permission.

So from a relatively early point, Alfred is very smart with his investments, and he's been making his investments since the early 19th century, so there's a significant but often catastrophically destroyed habit of investing. When he was younger and incredibly newly independent, he got fleeced a few times, but he's called smart and secure, especially since the 1929 crash. It's not remarkably large amounts of money because he'll never completely trust the government, and he doesn't want to attract attention or pay massive amounts of taxes, so he's very well diversified. But he's certainly not poor. All his more expensive hobbies come from a particular office in the state department that Alfred sometimes cooperates with and sometimes doesn't, depending on how anti-establishment he and the public feel.

As for Matt, having spent a lot longer as a colonial subject, it's not that he's entirely shit with money but what he knew how to do. The heart of the empire was the financial hub and was outside his control long after even the Confederation in the 1860s. The money situation has been a nightmare since the earliest days of the French Regime using playing cards to pay people. Colonial America had some similar issues. The whole concept of the US dollar originated in the 1690 invasion of Quebec when the Massachusetts Bay Colony printed its own money to fund the expedition, but Alexander Hamilton did some flash economic magic for the US in this department in the 1790s, so it got its shit together long before Canada. Matt knows what he needs to know. He was stationed in various Canadian ports, keeping an eye on his father's investments, not his own.

So, in the modern day, Alfred reads his bank statements every month, keeps track of his subscriptions and bills, and probably has an accountant. Matt is more aware of Alfred's money habits than his own. Because he's over here just kind of vaguely wondering if his debit card will work because my man cannot make heads or tails of his economy (no, seriously, Canadian economists have no idea how Canada's own shit works. Sometimes it's pretty fascinating, there's often no real consensus like the US academic economist have.) And international investors in Canada are always freaking out because the Canadian economy is always getting its shit rocked by the US economy. It's hilarious to think of people in Matt's life frustratedly trying to figure out where and what his money's doing. If their health is tied to their economies, Matt's in pretty good shape, thanks to close ties to the US, but he's randomly dying reasonably often because the US economy's tiny little ripples will randomly tear him apart. It's pretty funny (laughs so I don't sob in the Canadian job market.)

And that's pretty fitting, considering that most Canadian economic policy is boiled down to 'hope the Americans are feeling cooperative next time NAFTA comes up for debate.'

Moscow's Lower Presnya - factory workers' village built in late 1920s

Thank you for making it happen: K. T., H. W., T. B., m., @depetium, @transarkadydzyubin, S. R.

Presnya in Moscow was a district of factories since the 18th century. Some of the factories that were based here are the Prokhorov's textile factory (Tryokhgornaya Manufactura), Smith's boiler factory, Danilovsky sugar factory, Ossovetsky's chemical plants etc. Factory workers usually lived close by (some of the factory owners built housing, but not all) so there were a wide array of houses and buildings (some brick, some wooden). After the 1917 Revolution all of the factories were nationalised and workers' living situation rethinked.

Presnya was the first workers' village in Moscow rebuilt after the Revolution (began in 1926). Emerged a district of 4-floor brick houses in formations that created court yards (something that didn't really exist for apartment buildings before then). Court yards were there purely for comfort of the residents. The new buildings mostly consisted of standard sections of 2 or 4 flats per floor per entrance. The standartisation helped bring the costs down (the buildings themselves were all still different). Buildings stood far enough from each other to allow enough air and sunlight. Most of the flats had windows facing North and South - it helped with air flow and sanitation (tuberculosis and other diseases were on the rise, and having direct sunlight in the flat was detrimental for germs). Many of the flats (though not all) had kitchens and bathrooms. Every building had a built-in boiler room that provided heating in winter. Flats were equipped with their own boilers to cook and heat water. Some other "smart house" solutions in the flats: a pipe system that sent heated water from the kitched to the bathroom, oven-samovar connector (to simplify boiling a samovar), built-in "ice pantry" in the kitchen (served as a fridge in wintertime), air ducts in every room, floor air ducts that also served as water retractors and prevented flooding the neighbours downstairs.

It's important to note that while some families had a whole flat to themselves, most of them were kommunalkas [communal flats] with several families sharing one flat, one room per family. Typically, workers aged 40+ with big families were more likely to get their own flat that younger or unmarried workers.

Let's see some of the residential buildings!

First, some of the 19th century ones - originally built by factory owners as housing for workers.

This new elite residence is built over three 19th cent. buildings. They tried to save as much as possible. The building on the left is mostly as is (only an extra floor was added on top), the building on the far right was kept as part of the facade, and the middle one was in too bad a condition to save, unfortunately.

Corner house with the Kommunar store - designed by Aleksandr Kurovsky.

Another building designed by Kurovsky was initially supposed to have more balconies - see the project on the cover of Building Moscow (#4, 1929). Originally the colors were reversed: the building was made of red brick (befitting the red brick factory surroundings) and the patterns were made of lime brick.

Pair of buildings designed by engineer Osvald Kapran are very simple but have a distinct feature.

And finally the architectural dominant of the Lower Presnya - Mostorg [Moscow Trade] department store designed by Brothers Vesnin and built in 1928. It was their first constructivist building in Moscow. This was the first and only store of this magnitute in the district, a symbol of the new centralised trade as opposed to old style markets.

Part one - Architecture | Part two - Museum

Synergy over solo: Identify partners whose skills, resources, and expertise complement yours, creating a force greater than the sum of its parts. Think marketing gurus teaming with tech wizards, or seasoned veterans pairing with innovative upstarts.

Market mastery: Seek alliances that open doors to new markets, expand your customer base, and strengthen your brand reach. Think global partnerships, cross-industry collaborations, or joint ventures that tap into untapped territories.

Sharing the load: Partnerships can help you tackle ambitious projects, share operational costs, and leverage diverse perspectives to overcome challenges. Think resource pooling, joint marketing campaigns, or co-developed products.

Beyond Handshakes:

Shared vision, not just shared profits: Align yourself with partners who not only bring practical value but also share your long-term vision, values, and commitment to ethical practices. Building trust and mutual respect is key.

Clear communication, ironclad agreements: Open and honest communication is vital to avoid misunderstandings and ensure everyone is on the same page. Negotiate fair terms, define roles and responsibilities, and create a win-win partnership agreement.

Mutual growth, not exploitation: Remember, a true partnership is a two-way street. Invest in your partner's success as you expect them to invest in yours. Celebrate shared victories and support each other during challenges.

Examples in Action:

A small eco-friendly clothing brand partners with a large online retailer to reach a wider audience and scale its sustainable production.

A team of experienced consultants collaborates with a team of young, tech-savvy developers to offer cutting-edge solutions to their clients.

Two local businesses in the same neighborhood join forces to host joint events, cross-promote their services, and attract new customers.

Remember, under Venus in Capricorn, strategic alliances are not short-term fixes but long-term investments in your future. Choose your partners wisely, nurture the relationships, and watch your combined forces elevate your business to new heights. By embracing collaboration, you not only achieve shared success but also build a network of valuable connections that can weather any storm.

Bonus Tip: During this transit, actively seek out networking opportunities, attend industry events, and connect with individuals or organizations whose expertise and vision align with yours. You never know where your next power partnership might blossom!

So, step out of your comfort zone, open your arms to collaboration, and watch the magic unfold as you build a thriving empire, not just brick by brick, but hand in hand.

Channel Your Inner Chess Master: Sharpening Your Negotiation Prowess in Venus in Capricorn

Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, might seem an unlikely warrior in the boardroom, but during her sojourn in Capricorn, her charm takes on a strategic edge. Forget impulsive deals and flowery persuasion; this transit is all about mastering the art of negotiation with shrewd calculations and unwavering determination. Ready to transform into a deal-closing powerhouse? Here's your playbook:

Know Your Worth, Inside and Out:

Research and preparation are key: Before entering any negotiation, gather all relevant data, market trends, and competitor analysis. Know your bottom line, your strengths, and the value you bring to the table.

Confidence is your armor: Don't underestimate yourself. Be clear about your goals and objectives, and project an aura of self-assurance and professionalism. A confident negotiator commands respect and commands better deals.

Listen with a hawk's ear: Pay close attention to your counterpart's needs, concerns, and priorities. Active listening allows you to identify leverage points and craft proposals that meet everyone's objectives.

Strategic Maneuvers on the Bargaining Table:

Think long-term: Focus on building mutually beneficial partnerships rather than short-term wins. Think strategic concessions that open doors to future collaborations or long-term contracts.

Patience is a virtue: Don't rush into the first offer. Be prepared to walk away if the deal doesn't align with your goals. This creates an air of power and strengthens your leverage.

The carrot and the stick, masterfully wielded: Combine firmness on key points with creative problem-solving and willingness to find common ground. Offer sweeteners or concessions on less crucial aspects to secure the bigger win.

Mastering the Art of Persuasion:

Facts are your ammunition: Back up your claims with data, reports, and evidence. A logical, data-driven approach resonates with the Capricorn Venus.

Speak with clarity and precision: Avoid emotional appeals or empty promises. Stick to concise, well-supported arguments that leave no room for misinterpretation.

Body language speaks volumes: Maintain eye contact, project confidence through your posture, and avoid fidgeting. Nonverbal cues can build trust and strengthen your negotiating position.

Bonus Tip: Practice your negotiation skills! Role-play scenarios with colleagues, mentors, or even yourself in the mirror. The more comfortable you are in the art of the deal, the easier it will be to secure those all-important victories.

Remember, under Venus in Capricorn, negotiation is not a battle but a chess game. Think strategically, play calculated moves, and always keep your ultimate goals in mind.

So, step into the negotiation arena with confidence, wield your skills like a seasoned strategist, and watch as you secure those winning deals that propel your business, finances, and even personal relationships to new heights.

Commitment built on shared dreams: True commitment comes from a shared vision for the future, not just temporary infatuation. Discuss long-term goals, create shared plans, and build a life together brick by well-placed brick.

Weathering storms as a team: Life throws curveballs. Look for a partner who stands by you, offers unwavering support, and celebrates your victories just as readily as they comfort you in times of adversity.

Nurturing the flame, not just fanning it: Long-term love requires effort. Continuously invest in your relationship, prioritize quality time, and keep the romance alive with thoughtful gestures and shared experiences.

Bonus Tip: During this transit, focus on personal growth and building a fulfilling life for yourself. When you radiate stability, self-sufficiency, and clear goals, you attract partners who seek the same qualities in a relationship.

Acknowledge the elephant in the room: Don't shy away from confronting your debt. Face the numbers head-on, understand your current financial situation, and create a clear picture of the mountain you need to climb.

Renegotiate with strength and strategy: Don't be afraid to renegotiate loan terms for better rates or repayment schedules. Arm yourself with market research and negotiation skills, and approach your creditors with confidence and clarity.

Budgeting: Your Weapon of Choice:

Track every penny: Implement a detailed budget that tracks your income and expenses meticulously. Every latte and Netflix subscription matters when you're battling debt.

Slash the non-essentials: Identify areas where you can cut back on spending. Be ruthless! Are you subscribed to services you never use? Can you cook more meals at home? Every small sacrifice adds up.

Embrace delayed gratification: Learn to live within your means, even if it means saying no to some immediate desires. Prioritize debt reduction over instant gratification, knowing that financial freedom awaits on the other side.

Building a Wall of Financial Security:

Automate your progress: Set up automatic bill payments and debt repayments to avoid missed payments and late fees. Discipline your finances, make saving and debt reduction a seamless part of your routine.

Every purchase becomes an investment, a deliberate step towards building a life of quality, value, and long-term satisfaction. Let's navigate this transit and transform your spending habits into a ladder towards personal and financial fulfillment:

From Impulse to Intention:

Mindset shift: Every purchase carries weight. Ask yourself, "Is this an investment in my well-being, my goals, or my future?" Prioritize items that contribute to your personal growth, professional aspirations, or long-term needs.

Banish the impulse buy: Resist the siren call of instant gratification. Give yourself time to consider purchases, compare options, and avoid emotional or peer-pressure-driven decisions.

Needs trump wants: Differentiate between essential needs and fleeting desires. Invest in well-made, durable items that serve a purpose and stand the test of time. Think quality tools, timeless classics, or experiences that enrich your life in lasting ways.

Quality over Quantity:

Buy less, choose better: Embrace minimalism and focus on acquiring fewer, high-quality items that reflect your values and aesthetic. Invest in craftsmanship, ethical sourcing, and sustainable materials that elevate your life without overloading it.

Experience over extravagance: Prioritize experiences that create lasting memories and personal growth over fleeting material possessions. Invest in learning new skills, traveling to new places, or fostering meaningful connections.

Support values with your wallet: Align your spending with your ethical and environmental values. Choose sustainable brands, support local businesses, and invest in products that reflect your commitment to a better future.

Building Financial Muscles:

Budgeting is your roadmap: Create and stick to a realistic budget that tracks your income and expenses meticulously. Allocate funds efficiently, prioritize your needs, and leave little room for impulsive spending.

Embrace delayed gratification: Learn to wait and plan for what you desire. Saving for larger purchases builds discipline, allows you to gather information, and prevents the pitfalls of rushed decisions.

Track, analyze, and adapt: Monitor your spending patterns, identify areas for improvement, and adjust your budget as needed. Be flexible and learn from your financial journey, constantly working towards smarter spending habits.

Bonus Tip: During this transit, consider implementing a "cooling off period" before making significant purchases. Take time to research, compare options, and sleep on it before committing. This simple delay can save you from impulsive decisions and ensure your investments align with your long-term goals.

Remember, under Venus in Capricorn, strategic spending is not about deprivation, it's about conscious choices. Every purchase becomes a building block towards a life you love, a life filled with well-being, financial security, and experiences that resonate with your values. By channeling your inner financial architect, investing in quality and purpose, and avoiding the fleeting allure of instant gratification, you can transform your spending habits into a ladder that leads you to a truly fulfilling and prosperous future.

Iss. 7:

A New Order In Redhaven?

Gerhardt Square awoke to much pomp and solemnity on Sunday morning as Desdemona Carmine, Redhaven’s duly elected Mayor, came by with a formal announcement. Her office, Lord Redhaven’s estate, and occupying forces from The Frontline Confederation have reached a power sharing agreement.

The following conditions are now in effect: Though Redhaven retains its police precinct, The Frontline Coalition will be forming its own law enforcement body which supersedes local authorities. City administration is now a joint effort between the mayoral office clerks and separatist quartermasters, who will set and collect taxes together. Lastly, a curfew of 9pm is in effect now and for the foreseeable future throughout the city.

This change in authority, though not the first in Redhaven’s history, has not gone unchallenged. Isaac Kells, the voice of the political action organization known as The Blue Coalition, has raised concerns about the present and future state of Redhaven in an exclusive interview with The Redhaven Delegate. Though his associates have chosen to remain anonymous, he has come forward with a series of scathing indictments…

A woman with freckled skin, black hair tied back in a bun, and rough hands waits on a street corner. She glances at a pocket watch. The hands tick around the face, the short one pointing to twelve and the medium one to three while the longest moves faster than is worth checking. She stows the device and huffs. Another minute passes and she places a hand on her pocket, squeezing the fabric around the watch impatiently.

Before she can withdraw it, a man rounds the corner and waves. He has caramel skin and dark brown eyes, and he smiles sheepishly as he draws near.

The woman raises a brow and waits. The man shrugs and says, “Sorry Alessa, I had to reroute for more new demolition.”

The woman rolls her eyes. “So says you. I don’t think you should even be out here, Isaac. Do you really think its smart?”

The man pauses for a moment, and then nods. “I do. We don’t have many resources to allocate so I have to make sure they’re being spent wisely. Anyway, I have to be out here. Who wants to fight for someone who isn’t willing to fight for them as well?”

Alessa offers a wry smile. “All those saps with the orange patches seem perfectly fine dying for their betters.”

“Well maybe, given enough time, we can change their minds.” Isaac speaks confidently but Alessa only purses her lips.

Another woman walks down the street dressed from head to toe in green robes. Her demeanor is chilled and her brow is furrowed. She nods wordlessly to Alessa and Isaac as she walks by, and then she turns to enter the wooden double doors of the temple nearby.

As the doors slam shut, Alessa whispers, “They conscripted the orphans. They’re using them for message runners mostly.”

Isaac chews on the thought, then he whispers back, “It takes a lot to bring up children. The separatists will either realize that or pay for it.”

Alessa shakes her head. “Who’s going to make them pay for it?”

“Probably the kids,” Isaac answers quickly. “Let’s get moving.”

The two begin to stroll down the road. The streets here are whole, unbroken by The Great Transit, though the lack of recent upkeep is obvious between the building piles of trash and loose cobbles. The doors are locked and the windows are shuttered save for that of the post office, the door of which bears an orange flag alongside the Redhaven feather.

The street widens out into an open-air market. The stalls are empty, as are the aisles between them, but a few shops remain open on the edge of the square in the permanent buildings. Business is steady there, customers roaming quietly, purposefully between them and then back out of the square again.

Isaac takes a seat on a bench and watches for about half-an-hour. Alessa remains standing by a lamp post, glancing down the adjoining roads, into the windows of nearby structures, and at the rooftops that overlook the space. One of her hands hangs from her messenger bag by its thumb the whole time.

There is a commotion, the sound of shouting from the other side of the square, and Isaac starts off towards it. Alessa falls in behind him and releases her bag.

The two draw near to a butcher’s shop where a middle-aged man in an apron is waving a meat cleaver wildly in the direction of a smaller man in a vest. The two don’t notice their audience.

Alessa leans over to Isaac and whispers, “Tax collector.” Isaac nods.

The butcher shouts, “I shouldn’t have to pay! What about the meat shortage and The Transit and what’s money even worth now, what with everything that’s happened?”

Isaac will comment, “The butcher’s right.”

“The butcher is swinging a knife at a tax collector,” Alessa ripostes.

Isaac waits for a moment longer, takes a breath, then walks up to the storefront with Alessa in tow. The butcher doesn’t acknowledge him but the tax man turns.

“Sorry sir,” Isaac says, halting the argument. “I know him, he’s good for his taxes and his permits and all that. Just swing by tomorrow and it’ll be sorted out.”

The butcher seems suspicious, but he is unwilling to contest the sheer confidence with which Isaac speaks. The official raises a brow then looks to the butcher, who mutters, “Uh, yeah. Won’t be any trouble, we’re old pals.”

The tax collector waits another moment, glances between Isaac, Alessa, and the butcher’s now slack-held cleaver, and then nods. “Alright, one more day can’t hurt. Be well then, I’ll see you in the morning Mister Flanagan.”

He takes his leave.

There is a moment’s pause, then the butcher sighs. “Alright, what’s the scam? I know you’re with the Blues, so what do you want from me?”

Isaac shrugs and says, simply, “We want to help.”

Before the butcher can ask another question, Alessa interjects, “How much do you owe?”

He pouts and leans back. Alessa glares at him and he crumples. Isaac puts a hand on her shoulder and offers a sympathetic frown, and she finds something else to glare at.

The butcher softens and mumbles, “A hundred and twenty dollars, after the fees. That’s enough to put me out for good.”

Isaac nods his understanding, though Alessa remains alert. The former says, “Okay, that’s not too bad. We can cover it for you. There’s just one condition.”

The butcher seems doubtful and a prideful shine reappears in his eye, but he still nods for Isaac to continue.

He does. “There’s a building on lower street, number fourteen. Swing by there tonight and ask them about business management. We’ve got an accountant who should be able to get you back on track and, if you hear him out, we’ll pay off your current debts in full.”

“That’s it? What if I don’t?” the butcher responds, chin raised.

Alessa offers a soft smile. “Then the tax man will come back, probably with a pair of soldiers in tow. Instead of paying your debts, you’ll get a black eye. Maybe worse.”

The butcher holds Alessa’s gaze. Isaac waits.

The butcher nods. “Sure. I’ll think about it.”

Isaac smiles and pats Alessa on the back. “Let’s get going then. No point hanging around longer than we need to.” He waves at the butcher and starts away. Alessa follows, though her guard doesn’t drop until they’re down the street and around a corner.

Continuing down the road at a cantor, Alessa grumbles, “Business management? Accountants? I can’t believe our little underground movement is busy teaching old men how to fill out their check books while The Confederates are cracking down on innocent people.”

Isaac keeps his eyes forward and responds, “It keeps the community healthy. I’d rather shoot the tax man too, but I think we both know where that leads.”

Alessa retorts, “And what if he just ignores the advice?”

Isaac shrugs. “Then he can keep the money. It’s just taking up valuable warehouse space until it’s spent. Plus, you saw our track record: every business we’ve advised is doing well and every business that snubbed us is either closed down or floundering. What is the city doing to help these people. What are the occupiers doing?”

The conversation dies down and the next few minutes are spent in silence.

The pair emerge from an alley into a courtyard, and the faded stone of Redhaven is replaced by greenery and trellis fencing. The courtyard contains a well tended garden and is surrounded by red brick walls, clean and bright. A few others move about the space and wave Isaac and Alessa on in. Isaac remarks, “Prettiest place in Redhaven, and all it took was a little work.” He stops by a planter with strawberries growing in it and picks one. “This is what we’re working for Alessa. This is why the guns are only for self defense.”

He tosses the fruit to her and she catches it. “Strawberries? We’re fighting for that?”

Isaac is already heading up towards a door. “Gardens, growth, safe places, and yes, strawberries.”

Isaac carries on inside and Alessa follows him. The two work their way up a narrow stairwell and then into an office, one with a view to the outskirts of Redhaven and the lilac fog beyond beyond the countryside.

The space is gloomy compared to the outside until Isaac pulls the curtains the rest of the way open. pale, colorless light washes over the room as Alessa sits down on a creaking armchair.

Isaac pulls a bottle of brandy out from beneath the room’s desk along with a pair of tulip glasses. Alessa shakes her head and he returns one of them, then fills the other about a third of the way.

At last, he sits behind the desk, takes a sip from his glass, and asks, “So, what am I missing.”

Alessa takes the messenger bag off of her shoulder and places it on the floor, then steeples her fingers. “Not much, honestly. The money goes in and out below budget, recruitment is going well amongst the first responders and the laborers, and your…gentle…approach seems to be keeping the authorities off our backs. If this were a normal city back in Eudax, whether it belonged to The Confederation or The Covenant, I’d say that things couldn’t be better.”

“But it’s not a normal city,” Isaac responds dryly.

Alessa nods. “You got my report about the tunnels, and I’m not the only person who’s found one. There are more monsters coming out of the fog as well and nobody is actually trying to stop them except for the farmers.”

Isaac takes another sip from his glass and thinks for a moment. He looks wistfully towards the window. “We’ll get guns to them then, hunting rifles and coach guns.”

Alessa clears her throat. “Yeah, yeah, that’s fine, but that’s not why I’m worried. I’m worried because none of my contacts know why they aren’t trying to stop the monsters. No soldiers to guard the farms, no patrols around the countryside, no watchtowers on the edge of town. That’s suspicious.”

Isaac finishes his drink and shrugs. “Suspicious activity is your area of expertise. What do you think is going on here?”

“I think they’re waiting to see how dangerous these things are, waiting to see if they can be harnessed. Doesn’t matter to them if a few farmers get killed, it’s valuable research. Neither side held back in the civil war on account of their morals, I don’t see why they’d start now.”

Alessa leans back in her seat and waits for a response. Isaac taps the bottle of brandy and raises an eyebrow, and this time she nods. He pours her a drink and walks it over to her. She drains the glass and hands it back before he can turn, not frantically but with a sort of practiced motion.

Isaac retakes his seat. “The work never ends,” he says, more considering the words than declaring them.

Alessa frowns. “You wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Isaac doesn’t answer aloud, but a small smile awakens on his face and his eyes gleam softly in the pale light.

[beautifulpersonpeach]

I've gotten the impression that, with hybe's recently debuted groups (boynextdoor and tws), they're trying to recenter themselves to a certain extent on Korea while balancing western appeal. I haven't been around for long enough to view the differences over time, but this has mainly been coming from the way they've been promoting, and I'm interested to see what they do with illit (whose debut trackless seems very short imo, but that's an aside). Idk if this is also why they released lsf's recent comeback on a Monday, though smart in particular is very Coachella. Tws' plot twist seems to have blown up in Korea but not very marketable in the west like nj's songs were. This all makes sense given bang pd's concerns about kpop and the need to establish a korean fan base, rather than shooting for the west right away which seems have been a contrary strategy. Do you see it the same way and are you expecting this strategy for illit? Ggs and bgs have been having different experiences with the korean gp lately so I'm not sure what they'll do. Luckily hybe's other ggs have pretty distinct vibes so it'll probably be easier to carve out their own lane within the company

***

One thing: Bang PD has no influence whatsoever on what happens at ADOR aka NewJeans.

Also, I understand it’s tempting to think about HYBE this way given how the other Big4 companies operate and this is something that will be more clear as time goes on anyway, but the reality is that HYBE does not function like one company. It’s a collection of mid-sized companies that have their own mandates, but which share the same underlying infrastructure and resources. The only thing I really see them planning together is coordinating comebacks and debuts so there’s no egregious overlaps.

Meaning, if you’re looking for similarities, you’re probably better off comparing against the company’s own track record, i.e. TWS under Pledis is simply following the approach that worked for Seventeen and Nu’est at debut which was a focus on Korea first then international; ILLIT will likely follow Be:lift’s strategy for Enhypen, which was a Korea + SEA focus at debut, then Western appeal. BOYNEXTDOOR is Zico and KOZ’s first group, but given Zico’s influence is largest in Korea, it makes sense he’ll target building a Korean fanbase first. Source Music, just as with GFriend, focused Le Sserafim on Korea and Japan markets at debut before pushing internationally.

BigHit was supposed to have debuted Trainee A by this year and like BTS, they were gearing for more international appeal, but the project was scrapped and most of the members have moved on to be soloists or joined other agencies (JJ is now in SM).

What I’m trying to say is, I hear what you’re saying about Bang PD’s comments, but the patterns you’re looking for are better seen looking at what the companies have done before. Ideally, HYBE wants to strengthen their hold in every market, Korean and international. And you can see this in the companies they’ve already acquired that have decent penetration in one or the other, or both. Eventually, every k-pop company looks outside Korea for growth and that’s the end goal for all these groups, but the strategy of what is focused on first is best deduced by the track record of those companies so far. At least, in my opinion.

Alien au where alien Yamato and kakashi crash land on gai’s farm. Yamato doesn’t want to rely on the humans help but kakashi thinks he is harmless (and a little cute) ;) plus, gai’s beefy arms can be used to lift heavy space ship. Parts 🤣

Gai’s not sure why, but the alien’s seem interesting and since they don’t want to study him (according to them) he’s more than happy to help. It also helps that the one Alien is sort of cute, very dorky, and absolutely jumps at the chance to read a human book when Gai offers it to him

It’s the cutest. He can’t help but enjoy their company. Sure Yamato is a little stand offish with him but he still enjoys talking to him once in a while and watching him work. It’s very interesting stuff they’re doing!

Kakashi even manages to build them a sort of disguise with some parts from the ship and things Gai has laying around the house. They weren’t supposed to be landing and mingling with human’s, but since the ship decided to malfunction on them and they’re here they may as well have fun

When Yamato tries on his ‘human disguise’ Gai laughs and tells him he has frog eyes XD it’s not meant to be mean but Yamato gets very upset and refuses to wear the disguise for a week. He does come around eventually and start wearing it but he’ll still glare at Gai once in a while

Kakashi, though. Oh boy as soon as he shows his human disguise Gai is done for. The man is funny, smart, a romance dork, AND he looks handsome as a human? It’s too much. Gai stood no chance. How tf is he, a farmer, going to be the first human to fall in love with an alien

He’s pretty sure that should happen to a politician or military person, not a random farmer who just happened to have aliens crash on his property

Yamato of course scoffs at the two of them, but he’s doomed when the local teacher comes round to help Gai harvest some of the vegetables. He helps out in exchange for some fresh vegetables that don’t cost an arm and a leg, and he even shares some of the vegetables he gets from Gai with his students. Gai has always liked this arrangement cuz he hates selling his produce to make money and much prefers to simply exist (he does sell some of it, but a very small portion and he simply takes it into the market and has a little booth that people come to. They love when he sets up his booth because his prices are always reasonable)

Yamato goes with Gai into the market one day while Kakashi works on ship repairs and has a wodnerful time looking at all the human things. Gai even buys him a cute little statue of a frog, and almost gets smacked when he says ‘look, it’s you’

If you ever had pastries at breakfast, drank soy milk, used soaps at home, or built yourself a nice flat-pack piece of furniture, you may have contributed to deforestation and climate change.

Every item has a price—but the cost isn’t felt only in our pockets. Hidden in that price is a complex chain of production, encompassing economic, social, and environmental relations that sustain livelihoods and, unfortunately, contribute to habitat destruction, deforestation, and the warming of our planet.

Approximately 4 billion hectares of forest around the world act as a carbon sink which, over the past two decades, has annually absorbed a net 7.6 billion metric tons of CO2. That’s the equivalent of 1.5 times the annual emissions of the US.

Conversely, a cleared forest becomes a carbon source. Many factors lead to forest clearing, but the root cause is economic. Farmers cut down the forest to expand their farms, support cattle grazing, harvest timber, mine minerals, and build infrastructure such as roads. Until that economic pressure goes away, the clearing may continue.

In 2024, however, we are going to see a big boost to global efforts to fight deforestation. New EU legislation will make it illegal to sell or export a range of commodities if they have been produced on deforested land. Sellers will need to identify exactly where their product originates, down to the geolocation of the plot. Penalties are harsh, including bans and fines of up to 4 percent of the offender's annual EU-wide turnover. As such, industry pushback has been strong, claiming that the costs are too high or the requirements are too onerous. Like many global frameworks, this initiative is being led by the EU, with other countries sure to follow, as the so-called Brussels Effect pressures ever more jurisdictions to adopt its methods.

The impact of these measures will only be as strong as the enforcement and, in 2024, we will see new ways of doing that digitally. At Farmerline (which I cofounded), for instance, we have been working on supply chain traceability for over a decade. We incentivize rule-following by making it beneficial.

When we digitize farmers and allow them and other stakeholders to track their products from soil to shelf, they also gain access to a suite of other products: the latest, most sustainable farming practices in their own language, access to flexible financing to fund climate-smart products such as drought-resistant seeds, solar irrigation systems and organic fertilizers, and the ability to earn more through international commodity markets.

Digitization helps build resilience and lasting wealth for the smallholders and helps save the environment. Another example is the World Economic Forum’s OneMap—an open-source privacy-preserving digital tool which helps governments use geospatial and farmer data to improve planning and decision making in agriculture and land. In India, the Data Empowerment Protection Architecture also provides a secure consent-based data-sharing framework to accelerate global financial inclusion.

In 2024 we will also see more food companies and food certification bodies leverage digital payment tools, like mobile money, to ensure farmers’ pay is not only direct and transparent, but also better if they comply with deforestation regulations.

The fight against deforestation will also be made easier by developments in hardware technology. New, lightweight drones from startups such as AirSeed can plant seeds, while further up, mini-satellites, such as those from Planet Labs, are taking millions of images per week, allowing governments and NGOs to track areas being deforested in near-real time. In Rwanda, researchers are using AI and the aerial footage captured by Planet Labs to calculate, monitor, and estimate the carbon stock of the entire country.

With these advances in software and hard-tech, in 2024, the global fight against deforestation will finally start to grow new shoots.

4. Financial Independence- Break free from the 9-to-5 grind. Understanding and participating in the stock market can be your ticket to financial independence. Mastering investing now could mean the option to retire early or pursue a passion project without financial constraints. Imagine living life on your terms, powered by smart, early investments.

5. Weather Economic Storms- Build your financial umbrella. The reality is, economic downturns, recessions, and market volatility are part of life. By investing young, you learn to ride out these storms without panic. Diversifying your investments in stocks, bonds, and other assets can protect you from financial rain and help you learn critical lessons about risk and resilience.
