O abo é um universo bem vasto, então é difícil resumir em uma categoria única. Creio que tenha começado com lobos mesmo, mas não é mais assim hoje em dia. São humanos híbridos, com características animalescas (físicas, apenas se preferirem ter, ou apenas instintivas, que todos têm: das físicas, temos as orelhas, o rabo, maior presença de pelos no corpo etc; das instintivas, temos o cio/estro, dominância, instinto de formar família e proteger, possessividade com membros da família ou parceires romanticx, etc.) Quando joguei na abo, joguei com um personagem sem nenhuma característica física de animais, porque prefiro assim. Ele só tinha as partes instintivas mesmo. A última cmm abo que tivemos deixou vários links pra ler mais sobre o universo, mas eu não tenho mais eles pra enviar aqui.

Anônimo enviou uma ask: ollie, essa explicação do wattpad é um pouquiiinho errada, porque dá a entender que todo universo abo se dá por z**fi! cada autor acaba pegando uma explicação quando vai criar alguma coisa, mas como leitora de muitos anos, posso dizer que 99% trata o tema como um universo alternativo onde as pessoas sempre foram assim. :) abo acaba funcionando mais como subgêneros (não tô falando de literários) da raça humana, por exemplo. a falecida cmm blossom/byeolwon implementou algumas coisas extras nesse universo, como híbridos com algumas características de certos animais (tendo cauda, orelhas específicas, olhos de outras cores etc). é um universo bem rico e interessante, basta saber explorar direitinho!

Muito obrigada vocês pelas explicações! Eu joguei no google e foi a 'explicação' que apareceu mais em destaque e direta, por isso acabei jogando aqui (vou excluir já que a maioria considera errada).

Eu sou daquelas que o anônimo da pesquisa comentou que tinha um certo receio com o tema. Toda vez que ouvia falar de abo era em ic ou rpi, e as pessoas zoavam, falando que era uma coisa horrorosa. Eu nunca li nenhuma fic ou joguei rpg pra experimentar por mim mesma.

Porém, essas últimas comunidades tem demonstrado que não precisa ser assim como o pessoal diz. Dá pra explorar de forma interessante sem pender necessariamente para o assunto acasalamento o tempo todo. Eu aqui, só de ler essas asks, já pensei em briga de homem-animal por rivalidade e afins que poderia ser muito legal de desenvolver. Ou dessas pessoas tentando conviver normalmente com outras, escondendo suas características físicas ou não.

Acho que comunidades assim poderiam liberar pessoas normais para cadastrar também, sem que sejam apenas só híbridos, para fazer essas mistura. Até mesmo, para quem esteja querendo conhecer o universo e não se sente seguro o suficiente para fazer um híbrido logo de cara (seria meu caso). Assim, poderiam conhecer o universo, ver na prática como funciona, e quem sabe, ter vontade de desenvolver um personagem híbrido futuramente.

Acredito que esse preconceito possa vir de fanfics ruins, já que aparentemente o abo nasceu aí. E assim como livros, séries e histórias, existem as boas e as ruins.

Eu gosto quando temas assim dão certo para ter mais opções na tag, já que a krpbr está sempre em um looping de cidade, ilha, idol ou uni. Não é uma reclamação, eu mesma gosto desses temas, mas não seria legal ter novas opções dando certo?

i just found out a new season is coming out a month from now? they must have a concrete plot and art work already lined up if they’re ready to release in the next 4 weeks so would the recent survey impact (hopefully) season 8 that would be coming out next summer?

how do you think fans would react to fusebox following the now former love island show schedule and do summer & winter seasons so that the fandom have more time to get over the characters they’ve just recently finished with but the time period isn’t 10-11 months for a brand new season? while also being able to receive and implement changes and tweak things based off of the fan’s opinions and put it into a winter season that would come out say december - february and finish it by march-april. giving the fans content while they wait for the summer season instead of having a dry spell and limited replay options.

or do you think the old format of releasing bonus content of the former season like the boat party, the wedding etc is something that should make a comeback instead?

[Why does this ask read like it's from fusebox directly 👀]

I'm honestly surprised they asked for our feedback at all if they already had a new season lined up. They must be reusing a lot of assets; either that or it's a VERY short season, like 12 episodes or something which will be ass. Honestly I think two seasons a year would be perfect. But there needs to be a larger gap than this in between. People want to go back and play new routes but that's hard to do when there's only a week or two break in between seasons. Even if you played diligently in that one week, waiting 2 hours for tickets over and over is a pain in the as.

Winter season: Do you know how much I would FROTTTHHH on a winter LI season? Cute winter outfits, dates in the jacuzzi, snowball fights, or huddling for warmth (hehehe) come on, I would LOVE THAT (Imagine your fave islander in a lovely snuggly hoodie and only getting to see them with their kit off in the shower or hideaway?? SURPRISE love that. Even though said winter season would be coming out while us southern hemisphere folk are out here sweltering through bushfires and heatwaves I'd still love it.

Bonus content: Look, personally, I loved the S3 boat party. I thought it was unique, that it was cool we could date the islanders in different contexts, but that we had a chance to make up with our LI if we wanted. S1 I was so fucking done with Erikah that having to participate in her bullshit pissed me off. Besides, how come she's getting a proposal and i'm not??? You mean to tell me Jake didn't propose immediately after leaving the villa??????

S2 I LOVE LOVE LOVED the wedding but absolutely not CMM. Especially "you cheated on noah with noah!" And Lucas having a moustache and being scared of horses. I'm sorry, no, CMM is not canon. Urgh. If the bonus content was GOOD then it would absolutely be worth it. But I don't know if everyone would be down to have a 'islanders getting married' reunion. Not everyone wants that.

A Maintenance Manager’s Guide To Reducing Reactive Work Orders

Unplanned maintenance tasks create chaos in any facility. Equipment failures lead to production delays, increased costs, and unnecessary stress on maintenance teams. When reactive work orders dominate a maintenance department's workload, long-term projects, and preventive maintenance efforts suffer. A constant cycle of emergency repairs also shortens asset lifespan and disrupts operational efficiency.

Shifting from reactive maintenance to a more proactive approach requires planning, organization, and the right tools. A well-structured strategy helps reduce unexpected breakdowns, ensuring that maintenance teams can focus on scheduled tasks instead of last-minute fixes. Implementing best practices like CMMS Software for work order management and preventive maintenance leads to smoother operations and fewer disruptions.

Strategies For Reducing Reactive Work Orders

The following strategies help create a more controlled and efficient maintenance environment:

Establish a Strong Preventive Maintenance Program - Scheduled inspections and routine maintenance tasks prevent minor issues from escalating into major breakdowns. Using a CMMS to automate reminders and work orders ensures critical maintenance activities are completed on time, reducing the likelihood of unexpected failures.

Analyze Historical Work Order Data - Reviewing past maintenance records helps identify patterns in equipment failures. If certain assets repeatedly require emergency repairs, a proactive plan can be developed to address underlying issues before they lead to more work orders.

Standardize Work Order Processes - A structured work order system eliminates confusion and delays. Clear guidelines for submitting, prioritizing, and completing work orders ensure technicians can address issues efficiently. Digital work orders with detailed instructions and asset history streamline the process.

Train Staff to Recognize Early Warning Signs—Operators and employees who work with equipment daily can be valuable resources for spotting potential issues. Training them on how to recognize unusual sounds, vibrations, or performance changes allows them to report concerns before they turn into major failures.

Implement Predictive Maintenance Technology - Sensors and data analytics tools detect performance trends that indicate when equipment may require attention. By integrating predictive maintenance with a CMMS, maintenance managers can schedule repairs before assets fail, minimizing unplanned downtime.

Improve Spare Parts Management - Delayed repairs often occur due to missing or unavailable parts. Maintaining an organized inventory of critical spare parts ensures technicians have what they need when maintenance issues arise. A CMMS helps track stock levels and prevent shortages.

Set Realistic Response Time Goals - Establishing response time targets for different work orders helps prioritize urgent repairs without escalating minor issues. Categorizing work orders based on severity ensures that critical tasks receive immediate attention while lower-priority ones are scheduled appropriately.

Encourage Cross-Department Collaboration - Working closely with production teams, operators, and management creates a proactive maintenance culture. Open communication ensures that maintenance priorities align with operational goals and that potential issues are addressed before they require emergency repairs.

Create A More Efficient Maintenance Workflow

A reactive maintenance approach drains resources and leads to operational inefficiencies. Shifting toward proactive strategies creates a more stable environment where equipment is maintained before failures occur. A structured approach to maintenance software, planning, training, and data analysis ensures that work orders are managed efficiently, reducing unnecessary downtime.

Maintenance teams can gain control over their workload by focusing on preventive measures and improving work order management. A well-implemented system leads to fewer unexpected failures, increased productivity, and a more organized approach to facility maintenance.

In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, ensuring the continuous operation and longevity of equipment is critical for success. One of the key pillars that supports this goal is maintenance management. It is a systematic approach to planning, scheduling, and overseeing all activities involved in the upkeep of assets, equipment, and facilities. Effective maintenance management not only reduces downtime and repair costs but also ensures the safety of workers and the consistent quality of products and services.

Maintenance management involves a range of tasks, from routine inspections and preventive maintenance to corrective actions and strategic planning. The primary objective is to keep equipment running at optimal performance with minimal unexpected breakdowns. Companies that implement well-structured maintenance strategies often experience increased productivity, reduced operational costs, and a higher return on investment.

There are several types of maintenance that fall under the umbrella of maintenance management. These include preventive maintenance, which involves regular and scheduled inspections or services to prevent equipment failure; predictive maintenance, which uses data and technology such as sensors and analytics to predict equipment failure before it occurs; and corrective maintenance, which addresses issues after a problem has already happened. A well-rounded maintenance management system incorporates all of these approaches to ensure balanced and effective asset care.

One of the most important tools in maintenance management today is Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). These software applications help maintenance managers plan, track, and analyze maintenance activities. With a CMMS, businesses can monitor equipment performance, schedule routine inspections, track work orders, manage inventory of spare parts, and even evaluate maintenance costs. This data-driven approach increases efficiency, minimizes waste, and allows for better decision-making.

Another key aspect of maintenance management is workforce planning and training. Skilled maintenance personnel are essential to the success of any maintenance program. Employees must be trained not only in the technical aspects of their jobs but also in safety procedures and the use of maintenance software. Ongoing training and development ensure that the workforce remains competent and capable of handling evolving technologies and complex equipment.

Furthermore, the role of maintenance management is closely tied to safety and compliance. Equipment that is not properly maintained can pose significant safety risks to employees and the environment. Many industries, such as oil and gas, manufacturing, and aviation, are subject to strict regulations that require thorough documentation and regular inspections. Maintenance management ensures that these requirements are met, helping organizations avoid legal issues, fines, and reputational damage.

One of the major challenges faced in maintenance management is balancing cost with performance. While regular maintenance can prevent costly breakdowns, it also requires investment in time, labor, and resources. This is where strategic planning comes into play. Maintenance managers must analyze data, prioritize tasks based on risk and criticality, and allocate resources efficiently. By adopting a risk-based approach, companies can focus on the most vital assets and avoid over-maintenance of non-critical equipment.

In recent years, the rise of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the field of maintenance management. Smart sensors and connected devices now allow for real-time monitoring of equipment health, enabling predictive maintenance at an unprecedented scale. These technologies not only reduce maintenance costs but also enhance overall operational efficiency by minimizing downtime and extending asset life.

In conclusion, maintenance management plays a vital role in the success of modern industries. It encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and safety of equipment and facilities. By investing in advanced tools, skilled personnel, and strategic planning, organizations can build a proactive maintenance culture that drives productivity and long-term growth. As industries continue to evolve, the importance of effective maintenance management will only grow, making it a cornerstone of sustainable business operations.

Identify three information security governance models currently in use in industry. Explain each model. Information Security Governance is the subset for the enterprise governance, which is aimed to provide the strategic directions, and manages the risk. It also ensures the objectives by using the organizational resources and monitoring the failure or success of the organizational security programs. The information security is the complex process due to technology and governance considerations. Need of selection of appropriate standards and a requirement from diverse information security standard is essential. Following are the most important information security governance models. 1. COBIT (Control Objectives For Information And Related Technology) This is the “Control Objectives for information and related technology” model created by the ISACA. This model provides the accepted measures, processes, indicators, and best use of information technology and its control for the enterprises. There are 34 processes of the information and technology defined in the COBIT. Four divisions of the processes include as the following i. Plan and organize, ii. Acquire and implementation. iii. Delivery and support. iv. Monitoring and evaluation. Focus has been made on the elements related to information security (Brotby, 2009). 2. SABSA (Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture) The “Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture” SABSA is a business focus and business driven methodology. Relationships, objectives, risks, constraints, and business strategy all inform about the some sort of the security architecture and organizational needs (Sherwood, Clark and Lynas, 2009). 3. CMM (Capability Maturity Mode) Capability Maturity Model CMM is applied to organizational processes. This model was initially defined for the development processes of the software. There are different maturity levels of the CMM. The capability maturity model determines maturity of the enterprises for the risk management strategy and information security (Zia, 2010). Question 2 Describe at the least three advantages and disadvantages of each model. Advantages and Disadvantages of COBIT The COBIT as an information security governance model assures the compliance to the regulatory needs and efficiency of the organization as a whole. COBIT model provides the important management tools for the control of IT activities. COBIT model also provides the environment very conducive for management in audit functions (Mataracioglu and Ozkan 2011). COBIT as an information security governance model determines the right things accepted by the organization as best practices described in the model (Solms and Solms, 2008). One of the biggest disadvantages of the COBIT is that it requires a lot of knowledge for its applications for the IT assessment and support the IT governance. There is no specification of the reflections from the process and activities. No two analysts would give the same conclusion in the context of the maturity of the IT organization (Clark, 2008). Advantages and Disadvantages of SABSA Model SABSA approaches the security issues of the organization through different levels. SABSA model has been emphasized on duality of risk as it keeps a balance between threat and opportunity. SABSA Model also provides the risk management for all stages of lifecycle of SABSA. This model is compliance with standards like ITIL, ISO 27002, and COBIT. SABSA Model is advantageous as it is a robust supported by different tools and framework. These supportive tools and framework are created from the practical experience (Brobty, 2009). Sometimes, it cannot meet the business expectations in the information system industry. This SABSA model is complex, and not all people can understand this architecture. This SABSA model is not successful until senior management does not sponsor it (Sherwood, Clark and Lynas, 2009). Advantages and Disadvantages Capability Maturity Model CMM: CMM is the process improvement model. This model is used to assess the organization against the maturity levels. Each maturity level is subjected to the diverse areas such as risk management, system engineering, and personal management Read the full article

The Key to Longevity in Industrial Operations: Effective Maintenance

The Importance of Industrial Maintenance in Manufacturing

Industrial maintenance plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of machinery and equipment in manufacturing, production, and processing facilities. Without proper maintenance, companies face frequent breakdowns, reduced efficiency, and increased operational costs. A well-planned maintenance strategy not only extends the lifespan of equipment but also improves safety, minimizes downtime, and enhances overall productivity.

Understanding Different Maintenance Strategies

Industrial maintenance is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Companies implement different maintenance strategies based on their operational needs, budget, and equipment complexity. The three primary types of industrial maintenance are preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance.

Preventive maintenance is a proactive strategy that involves routine inspections, servicing, and part replacements to prevent unexpected failures. Tasks such as lubrication, cleaning, and equipment calibration are performed on a scheduled basis to keep machinery running efficiently. This approach helps businesses avoid costly downtime and ensures equipment longevity.

Predictive maintenance takes maintenance a step further by using advanced technology to monitor equipment performance in real-time. Sensors and diagnostic tools analyze data such as temperature, vibration, and pressure to detect potential issues before they cause a breakdown. This data-driven approach optimizes maintenance schedules, reduces unnecessary repairs, and improves overall efficiency.

Corrective maintenance, also known as reactive maintenance, is performed after a machine has failed. While it is sometimes unavoidable, relying too heavily on corrective maintenance can result in unexpected downtime and high repair costs. However, for non-critical equipment, it can be a cost-effective solution when used strategically.

Enhancing Workplace Safety and Compliance

Industrial maintenance is not just about keeping machines running—it also plays a vital role in workplace safety. Faulty equipment can lead to serious accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. Regular maintenance checks help identify and address potential hazards, ensuring a safer work environment for employees.

Additionally, businesses must comply with industry regulations and safety standards. Failing to maintain equipment properly can lead to violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage. A strong maintenance program helps organizations meet compliance requirements while promoting a culture of safety and responsibility.

Leveraging Technology for Smarter Maintenance

Advancements in technology have significantly improved industrial maintenance practices. Computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) help businesses track maintenance schedules, manage work orders, and analyze performance data. These digital tools streamline maintenance operations and ensure tasks are completed efficiently.

The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has further revolutionized industrial maintenance. IoT-enabled sensors continuously collect data on equipment conditions, allowing businesses to detect early warning signs of wear and tear. When combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning, these systems can predict failures with high accuracy, enabling more effective maintenance planning and reducing unexpected downtime.

Challenges in Implementing an Effective Maintenance Program

Despite its benefits, industrial maintenance presents several challenges that businesses must navigate. Budget limitations often make it difficult to invest in comprehensive maintenance programs, forcing companies to prioritize certain maintenance tasks over others. Striking a balance between cost and efficiency is crucial for long-term success.

Another major challenge is the shortage of skilled maintenance technicians. As industrial machinery becomes more advanced, businesses must invest in training and upskilling workers to handle complex maintenance tasks. Without a knowledgeable workforce, even the best maintenance strategies can fall short.

Additionally, scheduling maintenance without disrupting production can be a struggle. Many companies operate around the clock, making it difficult to take equipment offline for servicing. Implementing predictive maintenance solutions can help optimize maintenance schedules while minimizing production disruptions.

Industrial maintenance is a fundamental component of efficient and safe manufacturing operations. By adopting a combination of preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance strategies, businesses can reduce downtime, improve equipment reliability, and enhance workplace safety. The integration of technology, such as IoT and CMMS, further strengthens maintenance efforts, allowing for smarter decision-making and increased efficiency. Companies that prioritize maintenance as a key part of their operations will ultimately gain a competitive advantage, ensuring long-term success in an increasingly demanding industrial landscape.
