"Two researchers in the US and Australia have discovered important mechanisms that prevent B cells from attacking the body’s own tissues in autoimmune diseases like arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis—and in the process have won a prestigious prize.

Normally, the body’s immune system protects us from viruses, bacteria, and foreign substances. However, in autoimmune diseases, the immune system starts attacking tissues in the body instead.

Researchers had long tried to discover the cause of autoimmune diseases. But, Christopher Goodnow and David Nemazee, independently of each other, adopted a new approach.

They asked why we do not all develop these diseases. Their focus was on B cells which, together with white blood cells and T cells, are the building blocks of our complex immune system.

“They have given us a new and detailed understanding of the mechanisms that normally prevent faulty B cells from attacking tissues in the body, explaining why most of us are not affected by autoimmune diseases,” says Olle Kämpe, member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and chair of the Crafoord Prize committee that awarded the pair 6 million Swedish kronor ($600,000).

Neutralize B cells

In recent years, physicians have started to experiment by using existing drugs to neutralize B cells for patients with severe autoimmune diseases, including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, which has proven to be very effective at improving their quality of life.

Thanks to this year’s Crafoord Prize Laureates, we have gained fundamental new knowledge about what is happening in the immune system during autoimmune disease attacks.

“This also paves the way for development of new forms of therapies that eventually can cure these diseases—or might prevent them in the future,” said one professor of clinical immunology at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences...

More details from the video, since the article glosses over the particulars:

"The laureates discovered what is now called B cell tolerance.

When B cells develop in the bone marrow, not all of them are perfect. To remove the faulty ones, a mechanism starts, in which defective cells are programmed to destroy themself through apoptosis.

The laureates discovered two new mechanisms that are used if some of the bad cells are left. Re-editing, where the immune system alters the combination of receptors, and anergy, that silences B cells with self-reactive receptors.

The laureates were able to demonstrate that these mechanisms sometimes fail. This means that faulty B cells can cause an attack on the body's own tissues – leading to autoimmune diseases.

Thanks to the laureate’s discoveries, doctors like Anders Bengtsson soon felt able to start treating patients with lupus, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and many other autoimmune diseases, with medicines that eradicated B cells.

Anders Bengtsson: "I'm very happy that B cells has gotten so much attention because of the laureates. I have seen my patients getting so much better and getting a better life."

Autoimmune patient: "Today, I feel very good. I really have hope in the research that it will revolutionise things and perhaps even cure it all. That’s what I want, hope for, and believe in.""

Something I wish was talked about more is that Percy wasn’t told about the full Great Prophecy until days before it was set to occur.

And the implications of who knew, and how it changes the view of people’s actions in that context.

Let’s start off with who knew for sure, Annabeth, Luke, Chiron, and all the gods.

Annabeth has been the one that’s been analyzed the most I think. Her abandonment issues, combined with the knowledge that the best friend she made and boy she loves most likely has a expiration date. She pulls away and is reluctant to open up on her feelings. She spends alot of time bracing for pain she thinks is coming.

Chiron spends a good portion of the time being honestly very pessimistic with Percy, talking about heroes that died tragically, gods that probably don’t care, and honestly usually looks at Percy like he’s already dead. There are many times in the book where Chiron gets a far away look and Percy thinks he’s thinking of fallen heroes but it might be he’s thinking about how the Hero before him is due to die in a couple years.

You will never catch me defending Luke Castellan’s actions, but with the context of the Great prophecy, I can understand how in a twisted way his actions might have made sense. If this kids is gonna die in a couple years anyway why not kill him now? Why wait just so he can die a slower death possibly in service to a broken system. It also kinda makes sense why he wouldn’t recruit him, since he’d be just recruiting him to die for his cause instead of the gods. That part is speculation though since he has no problem later sending demigods to their death for his cause.

The gods are pretty easy to tell with their motives, self centered, they care more about their survival than a single mortals’. Poseidon however is honestly painted in a pretty bad light. The apology of “I’m sorry you were born” takes a different meaning when you think he know that Percy is gonna die. “I’m sorry you were born only to die.” Not only that but his distance to Percy even after his heritage is revealed takes a different tone. Is he avoiding puting time into his son not just because he is a god but because he might die? Granted he’s immortal so Percy was going to die anyway. But did he avoid telling Percy because he didn’t want him to think less of him?

And then we get onto who theoretically knew.

Specifically, did Sally, Grover, or Thalia know?

Sally Jackson is a goddess let me just preface that, but much like other goddesses she’s not perfect.

Is it possible Poseidon told her of the prophecy? If she knew is it possible she hid it from Percy? I love Sally but she does have a habit of keeping things that could hurt Percy from him until the last possible moment. And honestly this is much worse than the other things she’s withheld from him.

Did Grover know? Even with the empathy link, it transfers emotions more than thoughts. Which brings us to another interesting point. If Grover knew the Prophecy did he form a Empathy link knowing he would probably die in a couple years? Or did he not know and Annabeth Chiron and others failed to tell him that? We’re people expecting Grover to die in a couple years? Was he informed? Did people try to get him to cut his Empathy Link, without telling him? Did Juniper know?

And finally we have Thalia, the most underutilized character in all the series, and I don’t feel like I’m exaggerating when I say that.

Did Thalia know and when did she know it? Did she know before being turned into a Tree? Did she know after she was revived? Did she know during the Titan’s Curse? Did she know after she became a hunter? All of these can drastically change how her choice at the end of Titans Curse could be viewed.

If she knew before her death, it adds a layer to Luke and Annabeth, not only was their friend killed but most likely, another will be killed in her place.

If she was informed after she was revived or knew during Titan’s curse it adds a level of stress from her perspective, not only did she die to save her family, one who became a traitor and sacrificed the other to unleash a Titan, but she is know being told she’ll probably die in a couple months to a year.

And if she was informed after she became a Hunter? Did that make her regret her decision? Second guess herself? Did she feel guilty because she basically sacrificed Percy to save her own life? Did she try and avoid Percy out of guilt?

And I think what’s really interesting is that if Percy wasn’t such a good guy, and was more pessimistic and darker in how he view people and these motivations, he could easily reinterpret people’s actions with the prophecy in mind to their worst possible conclusion.

Him getting together with Annabeth only after the Great Prophecy could be seen as her writing him off as not worth it like so many others in his life, only willing to take the leap after the threat had passed.

He could see Chiron holding back on training because Percy might not be alive long enough to make full use of them. Writing him off as another tragic hero.

He could see Luke as worse or better, understanding that the gods do use them but also seeing Luke as another mentor giving up on him as a lost cause before really getting to know him.

He could see Poseidon withholding the truth as a manipulation tactic to give him the illusion of hope up until the point where he can’t back out anymore.

He could see Sally starting a relationship and trying to build a life while Percy is going through these trials as her preparing for her son to die, trying to make it so she has a life that can survive his death.

He could see Thalia’s decision to trust him with the prophecy, not as one of faith but avoiding death by using him as a sacrifice. Her doing the same thing Luke did, and what Percy wouldn’t do to others like Bessie.

Honestly the only one that couldn’t be spun in a bad direction is Grover. But if Grover didn’t know than I can imagine Percy would be angry at those that didn’t inform him since Percy’s life very much is linked to Grover’s. Did Juniper know her Boyfriend was also marked for death?

All of that being said Percy really is a good guy.

I sometimes forget how compassionate he is without thought, even to those who don’t deserve it.

It would be so easy to be angry bitter and spiteful when you’re told you only have a few days to live. To be resentful and cruel to the people that kept it from you.

He’s always known he could die but he also always had that little bit of hope dangled in front of him, the idea that not all heroes die gruesome painful deaths, that he could end up like his namesake.

But he isn’t and doesn’t. When people say they were doing what they thought was best he believes them. He doesn’t follow blindly but he doesn’t hate blindly either.

That’s why he’s the Hero of Olympus.

Separatist-apologist lore beneath the cut

I dropped out of college when I was 19 and when I decided to go back, I had two kids. I was undeclared and I felt old despite still being in my 20s. I had a scholarship which required me to do daytime classes with all of the brand new 18 year olds and I felt wildly out of place. Before that, I'd been staying at home raising my kids while their dad worked and a lot of people thought wanting to return to the workforce was a mistake, so there was this immense pressure to succeed where I'd once failed.

The problem was not knowing what I wanted to do. All I really cared about was history and domestic violence and as far as I knew, there was no good career path that combined those things, and so I signed up for four random classes that had nothing to do with each other. One of them was called Serial Killers in America which was taught by a former police officer. Another was introduction to psychology, taught by a social worker.

I was sitting in the Serial Killer class one morning, way in the back where no one paid me any attention, when the professor (former cop, remember) began telling a story about being called to a house for domestic violence and I remember looking up at her as she said that too often, these things are a "he said, she said," and they're usually both lying.

And it just ignited something angry in my stomach. I was looking for an advisor since I'd been undeclared and I turned that day to the psych professor and asked if she'd fill out my form to be my advisor. As she was, I told her what the other professor said and how much it bothered me and she asked me what I wanted to do. So I told her, and she asked if I'd ever considered social work.

So began six years of perfectionism and the single-minded goal of getting my masters degree and working in the field as a licensed social worker. I remember my first day in orientation at grad school, someone asked if anyone knew where they wanted to be in 5 years. I was the only person who raised their hand. I knew where I wanted to be.

And for the last three years, I got to live that dream. The good, the bad, the horrible- all of it was mine. And today I pack up this office I've worked in for the last three years because its all over. The work was always good and I'm proud of what I've done. I've published papers, I've sat in state-wide commissions, I've talked to legislators, I've presented at conferences and I've trained a new generation of advocates who feel the same passion I do.

It's no secret that people who work in this field are typically survivors themselves. Something about surviving it turns people into advocates, whether they meant to be or not. And often they manage to make it out of the metaphorical burning building, turn around, and decide they need to go back inside to try and get others. The amount of people I've talked to who say, "I want other people to know they're not alone and they can get through this," is numerous. It makes you optimistic, it makes it impossible to ignore the good in humanity even when you're faced with some of the worst people/circumstances you'll ever encounter.

And despite all the petty office politics, a system designed (sometimes purposefully) to make leaving difficult, and state legislators who push back every inch of progress we ever made, I will miss it. The work was always good. I'm proud of the things I did individually for folks, of the amount of times I got to tell someone they did nothing wrong, that they deserved safety and respect.

These three years have been the best and worst of my life, but the work was always good. I will always be in it, will always be standing beside the ghost of my childhood self, offering her a hand and a voice and I think if I accomplished nothing else, at least I did that.

🔥marriage

oh this is a good one. my thoughts on marriage have changed exponentially over the years for a multitude of reasons but…

I dislike it when people say that marriage is just “a legal thing” as if that is a bad thing. I think the legally binding aspect of a marriage is very necessary in a perfect world **

** AUTHOR’S NOTE: I AM HIGHLY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT MARRIAGES HAVE BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AS WEAPONS TO PUT PEOPLE, TYPICALLY WOMEN, INTO LEGALLY BINDING POSITIONS OF SERVITUDE AND VALIDATE / FACILITATE ALL FORMS OF ABUSE, AND THAT MARRIAGE CONTRACTS MAKE ESCAPING FINANCIAL / SEXUAL ABUSE SIGNIFICANTLY HARDER. I AM DISCUSSING A SCENARIO WHERE WE LIVE IN A UTOPIA WHERE THESE SYSTEMS OF POWER AND ABUSE DON’T EXIST

Okay. So I personally (coming from seeing a . lot of failed marriages….) think that for a marriage to work, you need to have an extremely sound PARTNERSHIP along with the emotional aspect. If you do not think that in the event of an accident that leaves you comatose your partner would be able to take on the burden of taking over financial affairs such as house payments and be competent enough to make decisions on your behalf for the benefit of you both - then I do not think you should marry them. A legal marriage contract relinquishes you from sole control of your assets and instead, you are both a combined legal entity. Everything will get deferred to your spouse. You two will go down together if someone fucks up a car payment. A contractual agreement that says they are your equal in assets, in parenting, in making decisions on medical treatment and financial matters etc etc is necessary if you truly believe that you two are destined to be life partners. At least that’s how I view it.

If you also can’t bear to do a prenup, don’t get married. You don’t have to be a billionaire to sit down and discuss with your LIFE PARTNER your expectations to for managing your own individual assets and rights.

Also I like big garish wedding ceremonies

Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.

Video games as a medium and a cultural movement include a lot of repetition. The respawn, where the punishment for failure is repetition. The roguelike and soulslike genres, where you are expected to fail often and try again. New Game +, where you play an entire game again, sometimes with many changes, sometimes with none. The speedrunning community where replaying a game into absurdity is the norm.

Video games have existed in conversation with tabletop games for their entire existence. Video game adaptations of D&D started only a year after it was published. 

But this one has stayed where it originated. No other medium has embraced it (Besides maybe in the culture surrounding long running television shows, or time loop stories). 

Drudgery

A major hurdle to overcome is that repetitive video games largely get you back into the action really quick. A dark souls boss run over 60 seconds is agonizing. Having to do the same D&D 5e combat twice would turn me into an afflicted husk of some variety.

A system like this would need fast resolution. I mean 1 vs 1 combat resolved in a single roll fast. Or even zero rolls.

Most tabletop games would shirk from being able to die in one bad roll, or saying “this monster is stronger than you, you die”. But in a game with respawning of any kind, that harshness is mitigated. 

Repeating but not Repeating

One of the big reasons repetition is so acceptable in games is that you’re not actually repeating. You are repeating the content, but your approach is different. If not, your skills can grow.

A tabletop game that takes these mechanics on has to include that. You have to be able to approach a situation differently, or get better at the minute to minute gameplay. It can’t just be enforced by adventure design, though that would be important. It has to be inbuilt in the mechanics themselves.

Games in the 5e-like canon don’t have a lot of gameplay skill. Some build skill, a tiny bit of knowledge skills (Knowing what damage type to use). But because most people aren’t playing adversarial games, not playing “to win”, skill-based gameplay has been disincentivized in many modern games. 

The focus on collaborative storytelling is great, but doesn’t work with every concept. Likely one of the main reasons this video game concept hasn’t made the jump.

Further complicating the matter is that highly repetitive video games (souls-likes and precision platformers) tend to have a high dexterity skill set that does not translate well to the tabletop. 

A certain subset of roguelites rely almost entirely on strategic skills, like Slay the Spire. Those rely on a huge sense of novelty in the sheer volume of options available, and the ways they can combine. If one wanted to adapt roguelikes to tabletop, games like that would be a good place to start (And of course actual Roguelikes, like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and NetHack)

But what about the simple addition of respawning?

But Why?

What do we gain from this? What are our goals? The primary one, as I see it, is a problem almost every game master knows well.

RPG players are very risk averse. Scheming any way to get through a frightening segment without putting their beloved characters at risk. It’s a case where the optimal way to play is not the most fun.

Now this isn’t a huge problem. One, it’s diegetic, you should be risk averse while in a trap-laden tomb fighting a thousand year old evil skeleton wizard. Two, lots of narrative games are low lethality or very fun when your character gets hurt, mitigating it.

But imagine. Imagine if it took less time to try and fail and respawn than it took to plot. Now, the optimal way to play is to, as the ancients say, scream Leeroy Jenkins. That would be fun

Skill Testing

This game would have some form of player-skill based action resolution. Some randomness is fine, but you have to be able to improve. 

The types of skill you can test here:

Tactical. A player’s understanding of the optimal combinations of moves to choose, and the ways that changes in different scenarios. You’d want to have a wide variety of options; also status effects, terrain effects, or similar game state modifiers. 

Knowledge. A player’s knowledge of the fictional world their character inhabits. Some concepts that fit are: enemies with resistances and vulnerabilities; items that can mitigate certain dangers but limited inventory; and objects with complex instructions for use. You could also require player knowledge for something like spellcasting. Rather than “I cast fireball”, they say “I take two fire rubies and chant the seventh incantation”, a ritual the player must learn alongside their character.

Dexterity. The player’s skill at a physical game of some kind. This can be seen in a game like Dread using Jenga, but any common game of skill could work. Choose slap jack to lose friends and break fingers.

Social Deduction. A player’s ability to read other people. For example, a game based not on chance but on hidden information. A simple example would be rock paper scissors. The skill ceiling can be increased by using a more complex set of rules or with partial information given, like a game of blackjack where one of the dealer’s cards is face up.

Speed. How quickly a player can come to a decision. Imagine if your roll for an action was determined by the number of seconds it took you to take it. In combination with other strategic variables that would usually slow down decision making, you could have a simple system with a high need for skill.

Conclusion

I’m sure a tabletop game has explored this space before, but I wanted to lay out some of the way it could be a fun inclusion. If anyone has played a game like this before, tell me about it!

current Transformers OC reference masterpost! (these references have been made over the course of the last year, so there’s some style changes)

Zephyr - the adoptive son of Ironhide, who’s got a penchant for taking in strays. Everyone is convinced he’s Bee’s kid, but no one talks about it. Scout who’s absolutely fascinated by the world around him. Has been taught a lot of bad habits by the twins, who were other foundlings of Ironhide. Is constantly trying to modify his visor to allow him access to things his visor shouldn’t have access to. Once dated an undercover Decepticon for like 3 months. His siblings won’t let him live it down. Has an electrical based outlier ability and can shock people through his hands and feet. The wiring on the side of his helm sparks when he’s frustrated.

Oracle - the son of Ratchet and a special op’s bot named Savvy (who has since been offlined in duty). The pseudo little brother to the Protectobots and Aerialbots - he is incredibly close to First Aid, as he has played a large role in his training. Sparked medic, and damn good at his job. Primarily works as a field medic. Tries to act serious and professional but he’s really, really not good at it. Will turn his emergency lights on to piss bots off when they’ve scorned him. Often is getting hauled around like a toddler by his older brothers. Courting Blitz, to the disappointment of Ratchet (Oracle does not care)

Blitz - Foundling of Bulkhead. Has also partially been raised by Wheeljack, as the two are close friends. Was also raised around the Autobots’ combiner teams, but the Aerialbots took much more of a shine to him due to his general attitude and behavior. Heavy hitter with a love for making pun jokes. Thinks the Wreckers are cool as all shit. Isn’t good with emotions, but will give hugs if you need them. he gives good hugs. Absolutely in love with Oracle, and thinks it’s hilarious that Ratchet is salty about them courting.

Ranger - Son of Optimus Prime and Elita One. Youngest sibling of Arcee and Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime. His spark separated way too early, and as such many essential systems failed to online or develop properly. He cannot take energon by mouth, and must have it introduced to his system via tubing, as well as requiring a form of ‘pacemaker’ to keep his spark working properly. His ventilation system often needs recalibrating and working to keep them cooling him properly. Too sweet for his own good, and sees the good in everyone. This often gets him into trouble. Got stranded with Stormshot of the Alpha Trine once, and helped save his life - leading them to fall helplessly in love with one another. He bullies Oracle relentlessly due to how often he is in the medbay (but they’re very good friends)

Nightlock - the oldest of the Alpha Trine and Megatron and Starscream’s sparklings. Was created as an attempt to combine the twos’ best qualities into a super soldier, but their seeker genetics caused the spark to split into the trine, spreading the traits among all three brothers. The golden child, and Megatron’s favorite. Keeps his mouth shut and does what he’s told. An absolute nightmare on the battlefield due to how adept he is at his job. Harsh and rough around the edges. 100% brainwashed by his sire. After his brothers left, he loses an optic to one of his sire’s fits, which frightens him into rethinking his entire life, enough to where he offers to become a double agent against Megatron. Changes his name to Nightwaker after the war

Stormshot - The middle mech of the Alpha Trine and Megatron and Starscream’s sparklings. Created as an attempt to combine the twos’ best qualities into a super soldier, but their seeker genetics caused the spark to split into the trine, spreading the traits among the brothers. Typically forgotten about by his creators. The hard hitter of his brothers. Absolutely massive in both height and weight. Despite it, he’s not fond of violence, and if it is not necessary he will not engage. He wanted to be a dancer, had he not been sparked during the war. Almost killed Prime’s kid when they got stranded together out of fear of being taken prisoner by the autobots. When Ranger let him go, he would end up forming a friendship that later turned to love towards him. Defects from the Decepticons to the Autobots to be with Ranger after his sire threatened his life one too many times. Would do anything for his brothers.

Crossfire - The youngest of the Alpha Trine and Megatron and Starscream’s sparklings. Created as an attempt to combine the twos’ best qualities into a super soldier, but their seeker genetics caused the spark to split into the trine, spreading the traits among the brothers. The scapegoat of the family. Has an outlier ability that affects his voice. The volume of his voice correlates to damage that can be done, almost akin to a sonic boom combined with directly damaging ones’ audials. He cannot shut it off, however, and wears an inhibitor device that will shock him if he raises his voice above an ‘acceptable level’ without being permitted by a higher ranked official, usually his creators. Speaks primarily in a whisper. Incredibly anxious, and suffers from panic attacks and severe self isolation. Defects to the Autobots after Stormshot does, when Megatron begins getting extremely violent with him and attempts to take his life. Has bouts of nonverbalism as a result of his trauma. Loves astronomy, and would like to learn medical skills, to save lives rather than take them. Small dude.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Modular Kitchen Design Planning

Source of Info : https://www.regalokitchens.com/common-mistakes-to-avoid-in-modular-kitchen-design-planning.php

A useful and stylish room can only be created by avoiding common mistakes when planning a modular kitchen design. Important elements like proper lighting, good ventilation, and effective storage options are usually ignored. Choosing wrong supplies or failing to take the kitchen's operations into account can also cause unhappiness. You can make sure of a perfect cooking experience by taking attention to these details. The best kitchen brand in India, Regalo Kitchens, helps you create a modular kitchen that is customized to your requirements and way of life by providing professional advice and premium materials.

1. Ignoring to Make a Plan

Starting a modular kitchen design without enough planning is one of the largest mistakes you can make. Making quick decisions can result in bad layout selections, ineffective workflow, and expensive adjustments down the road. It's important to take the time to understand your demands, the area available to you, and your planned utilization of the kitchen.

Start by drawing out a complete design that includes the appliance locations, storage needs, kitchen layout, and lighting. Speak with professionals like Regalo Kitchens to make sure your design is both attractive and functional.

2. Ignoring the Work Triangle

One of the main concepts in kitchen design is the work triangle, which forms the connection between the refrigerator, sink, and stove. If you ignore this, you'll find yourself spending more time transferring between these important locations, which will make your kitchen harder to operate in.

Tips: Make sure the work triangle is effective by leaving sufficient room between each point to allow for unlimited movement, but not too much that it becomes unwieldy. Regalo Kitchens places a strong emphasis on the value of this arrangement in their designs to improve usability.

3. Overlooking Storage Needs

A typical error in modular kitchen design is to underestimate the amount of storage required. A messy kitchen and crowded worktops are the results of insufficient storage, which detracts from the pleasure of using the space.

Tips: Give serious thought to how much storage you'll need. Make sure your kitchen has enough shelves, drawers, and cabinets to hold everything you need. To make the most of available space, Regalo Kitchens provides creative storage options including pull-out cabinets and corner units.

4. Not Considering Lighting

Although it is frequently ignored in kitchen design, lighting is essential for both functionality and aesthetic. Lack of lighting can make cooking challenging and take away from the overall design of the kitchen.

Tips: A combination of task, ambient, and accent lighting should be planned for. Recessed ceiling lights, pendant lights, and under-cabinet lights are all excellent choices to think about. To create a light and comfortable space, Regalo Kitchens carefully builds kitchen modules with thoughtful lighting layouts.

5. Choosing the Wrong Materials

The durability, maintenance, and attractiveness of your modular kitchen design may all be significantly impacted by the materials you choose. Choosing cheap components in an effort to save money can result in a kitchen that ages rapidly.

Tips: Invest in long-lasting, easily maintained materials of superior quality.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Modular Kitchen Design Planning

source of info: https://www.regalokitchens.com/common-mistakes-to-avoid-in-modular-kitchen-design-planning.php

Introduction

A useful and stylish room can only be created by avoiding common mistakes when planning a modular kitchen design. Important elements like proper lighting, good ventilation, and effective storage options are usually ignored. Choosing wrong supplies or failing to take the kitchen's operations into account can also cause unhappiness. You can make sure of a perfect cooking experience by taking attention to these details. The best kitchen brand in India, Regalo Kitchens, helps you create a modular kitchen that is customized to your requirements and way of life by providing professional advice and premium materials.

1. Ignoring to Make a Plan

Starting a modular kitchen design without enough planning is one of the largest mistakes you can make. Making quick decisions can result in bad layout selections, ineffective workflow, and expensive adjustments down the road. It's important to take the time to understand your demands, the area available to you, and your planned utilization of the kitchen.

Start by drawing out a complete design that includes the appliance locations, storage needs, kitchen layout, and lighting. Speak with professionals like Regalo Kitchens to make sure your design is both attractive and functional.

2. Ignoring the Work Triangle

One of the main concepts in kitchen design is the work triangle, which forms the connection between the refrigerator, sink, and stove. If you ignore this, you'll find yourself spending more time transferring between these important locations, which will make your kitchen harder to operate in.

Tips: Make sure the work triangle is effective by leaving sufficient room between each point to allow for unlimited movement, but not too much that it becomes unwieldy. Regalo Kitchens places a strong emphasis on the value of this arrangement in their designs to improve usability.

3. Overlooking Storage Needs

A typical error in modular kitchen design is to underestimate the amount of storage required. A messy kitchen and crowded worktops are the results of insufficient storage, which detracts from the pleasure of using the space.

Tips: Give serious thought to how much storage you'll need. Make sure your kitchen has enough shelves, drawers, and cabinets to hold everything you need. To make the most of available space, Regalo Kitchens provides creative storage options including pull-out cabinets and corner units.

4. Not Considering Lighting

Although it is frequently ignored in kitchen design, lighting is essential for both functionality and aesthetic. Lack of lighting can make cooking challenging and take away from the overall design of the kitchen.

Tips: A combination of task, ambient, and accent lighting should be planned for. Recessed ceiling lights, pendant lights, and under-cabinet lights are all excellent choices to think about. To create a light and comfortable space, Regalo Kitchens carefully builds kitchen modules with thoughtful lighting layouts.

5. Choosing the Wrong Materials

The durability, maintenance, and attractiveness of your modular kitchen design may all be significantly impacted by the materials you choose. Choosing cheap components in an effort to save money can result in a kitchen that ages rapidly.

Tips: Invest in long-lasting, easily maintained materials of superior quality. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and high-gloss finishes are just a few of the high-quality materials Regalo Kitchens offers, assuring that your kitchen will look great and work well for many years to come.

6. Ignoring Ventilation

In a kitchen, ventilation is required to get clear of heat, smoke, and cooking smells. missing this element can result in an uncomfortable and dangerous environment.

Tips: A proper ventilation system, such a chimney or range hood, should be included into the design of your kitchen. For a clean and fresh kitchen, Regalo Kitchens suggests vent hoods with strong suction.

The To Be Speech

The world as in not just one country stands at the dawn of a new decade, a new age, a new year. we stand so disconnected within the energies within ourselves, our fellow humans, our animals & also that of the world.  

People these days are at an ever-present & demanding struggle to feel worthwhile & of true worthiness. For at present to many are only deemed worthy in terms of their Family name, financial & material standings or for their status career wise.

Let me tell you true worth is found in a person’s personality, emotional value to another as well as in one's resilience. The problem with how one seems themselves worthy is focused too much on egotistical accomplishments & their outer world. To many when choosing a life & career path focus on either what society, family or friends deem to be worthy or what will pay them the most financially so they can accommodate their ever present and growing wants.

To be selfish is not necessarily bad as you are taking care of yourselves, and to be selfless is to take care of others. It's about finding the balance. By many focusing on all of their wants & not their needs. We then fail to aid the needs of a stranger.

Needs such as food, safety, a home, mental & medical support & it's my belief these are a necessity.

To stand for correct righteousness is to stand for one and should be to stand for all who show self reflection, self & environmental Growth & who seek Wisdom, Wonder & a Wholesome Will.

Well now we are given the choice to stand as planetarians who know the ways of nature. The first being of matter, mineral or element, the second nature is of plant and together with the first create our beloved Earth. A plant's nature is to grow to nurture, to heal, to seed and to flower and as you can see our Earth is taking a stance taking flower. The third being animal nature in fact these states of nature withhold some of your greatest lessons. If an animal is predatorial it creates the emotion or energy motion of fear and survival this such a lesson, for this is where we currently stand.

Liberty and justice are important but people to long have forgotten Truth and Honesty are words and actions that need not but have been lost. Well let this be the Sword of Truth cutting away the lies, the tyranny, the fear, the corrupt and the shadows of leaders false who know not guidance. For to be a good leader you need to know the people you will lead.

 I believe in leader's but not in such a one that leads for control war Or greed be that of material or ego. Whether you call it religion San scripts prophecy spirituality planetary or revolutionary that day of day is upon us. This predatorial nature is one that needs and will end if you wish to truly be in the nature of the Creator for to create is not to destroy.

We currently look to figures who stand for such a negative nature whether you call it evil Satan or the Antichrist this lies in Egotistical representation who enforce A way, A System, A Image or A Fear Fable be that of illness, Financial Currency less or Freedom less. All the while subtly brainwashing one to a domestication which bit by bit reprograms us to become driven by a enate desire for pleasure or to please & a corresponding fear of rejection.

Certain Idols, controlled, close minded or misleading religions combined with political, the elite or a secret societies agenda are to destroy or rather to shadow.  There is truth in all religion but know no one Heavenly Avatar wanted to form a religion for their goal was to teach which to teach is to later enable the ability to create.

I believe the Church was originally there to provide a place of safety, Food for the hungry & A bed for the homeless at any time day or night. too many follow religion literally and in doing so have missed the emotion or action to then create peace. 

 I ask you to stand in the true way of God or as I know the creator. What is the most underused word or action these days is that of creativity. To imagine, to nurture, to grow, to remember, to share & to Love is to create.

What has been created or rather enforced is the way of capitalism the way of hierarchy is the way of money. This started long ago and through horrific invasions and stolen rights replaced with enforced laws the world has slowly bit by bit lost its voice...

Who speaks for though the cries of those suffering?

Who speaks for The Starving?

Who speaks for the homeless?

Who speaks for those in need of medical aid?

Who speaks for the animals slaughtered? and

Who speaks for our precious environment?

Our beloved home is in a state of emergency!!!! 

Money all but I'm number is its current voice.

envision a world where there was no Rat Race to slave for money working more than you truly live. Where money is not buying oil gas fossil fuels, guns, pharmasodical fame and the image of happiness... for once money is eliminated what remains a world with unlimited resources a world where it does not cost to live a true free world every animal is born with food and a home surely we should be no different.

Once money, Flags as in territories are eliminated, such things as renewable energy & Medical Aid become just a matter of time and no longer cost. Humanity will instead of chasing the Currency day to day will instead seek out their true passions, desires & creative endeavors.... 

I Dream of a world where no man, woman or child be judged by the color of their skin, their own religious or spiritual beliefs or for how they identified or whom they choose to love. for I believe an individual be not judged for who they are and instead judged for their intentions, important interactions, their actions and be encouraged to then right the Wrongs or acknowledge and understand their mistakes so they can begin to better themselves and their environment in the future.

 I Believe in a World that can work as one and I acknowledge in our current world affairs this is a longshot however I believe instead of having people oppose someone who is similar and primarily wants the best for their people those who stand opposite one another's unite or guide us together as we all know two heads be far better than one.

 I Dream of a world that not be taught the ways of fear and hate but instead love peace understanding and compassion be words we live up to.

I Believe in a world that can put aside one another’s differences & let go of the Ego, Power, Greed & Money. For I believe in a world that knows the sense of community but on a Planetary level in which we accept & share with one another.

I Dream of a World without the Elite who are Corrupt, Cruel & Insidious. where Pedophiles, Serial Killers, Poachers & those who harbor ill intent are held accountable top their crimes or are no longer a part of our timeline.

I Believe in a World that instead of the Government which are elected to represent the People do this very thing. Where terms like Top Secret, Half Truths or broken promises are eradicated.

I Dream of a world that endeavors to courageously utilize the states of nature, universal energy & by doing so raise our Planeterian Vibration.

 JFK had many beliefs and Martin Luther King had a Dream and I think it's when you begin to truly begin to Believe in your Dream that's when it can start to become a reality.

Know forgiveness starts within for forgiveness starts in oneself. You don't have to forgive one' actions but you can choose to forgive one’s spirit for our soul is a makeup of all our spirits incarnations and this is energy. 

 A little bit of Hope is containable too much Hope becomes a threat, therefore anyone who stands up to this tyrannic system is either taken out or have a deformation of Character done against them so the main stream will turn away from them. once money flags and territories are eliminated such things as renewable energy and medical conditions become just a matter of time for they no longer cost.

As I currently navigate life in High-rise Government housing I remember & recall my state of mind & Environmental. How I & we as in my community felt Inward & outwardly Arca types such as Outcast, Abandoned, Forgotten, Lost, Hopeless, Homeless, Addict, Psychotic, Cultural Bias, Racial, Religious or GBLTI Discriminatory.

It has to do with intentional & unconditional love & care, but most of all a sense of belonging. We are all witnessing the Planet, Animals & Humanity in an ever advertised state of distress fear && survival & feel underequipped & underprepared with what is confronting us.

Effective a word that promises radical change but we don’t evaluate the word Infective in terms such as Emotions, Mental, Physical & Environmental & therefore repercussions.

Why? Because the Effective way is based on what is cost or time effective. Know in this method what is time effective is doctrine & controlled by what is most cost effective. What is most cost effective is currently viewed through Currency & Money? In doing this the cost of Emotional, Physical & environmental Trauma or Injury are partly unconsidered.

What better way to enforce, impose & oppress then to create a stage, a state, a Pandemic of Distressful disaster that disempowers the many of choices & empowers other Currency full & capital congregation of the wealthy, the Egotistical, the self-Entitled & the outdated representat5ion of the Elite. “Captivity through Cost Efficiency”.

In many scenarios when there is a community or team we learn that those Afflicted, Suffering or Sick are when healed an Asset to the collective. It would therefore only make logical sense that such circumstances & sciential Beings be given the upmost Intentions, Care, Comfort & consideration insuring their necessity’s as in needs are meet.

However, in this day in age of our collective consciousness they are that is those who have injured Trauma of Verbal/Physical or Self Abuse or witnessed a reoccurring shattering of their communities, Families, Friends or Strangers crisis,

Well through living, feeling, experiencing & Empathizing with my fellow Brothers & Sisters It is all to apparent how we are left to try to heal, guide & survive through each other. As the Efficient way is apparently to group us together & use labels such as Criminal, Sick, Mentally or Physically unstable which in turn causes a division of mutual Compassion.

After this we then go through an Internal Judgement upon our self & that of those around us both associates & strangers. What follows are textbook, theory & in some cases practical teachings, that highly executes a plan or path of action which deals with the Immediate issue by giving or enforcing a sense of relief but does not deal with the core Trauma or root cause. Instead Pharmasodical, Situational, Psychological or Recreational ways of coping are turned to. Someone suffering should always be supplied with the essential & vital resources to overcome such a state.

However, we put a Numeric or Currency on what should not cost which is to live, To Breathe & not just survive but consciously Thrive. A lot of the time the profit one can make for selling a terminal, reoccurring or consistent Patient is what pays the many through their career or Investment. How does one’s private peace of mind become another’s Personal Gain this I ask? ­­­

We are meant to be the keepers of the Earth, The Caretakers of the States of Nature & ultimately in return Mother Earth, Gaia is our caretaker in return. I as I'm sure we grew up learning the ways in which you do this & sadly I will admit I don't spend enough time as I would like doing this at present. I think its time we change that.

When you say GRACE it is a sacred prayer to respect the life force & energy of that in which you are about to synergize with your vessel. When you nurture something in growth it need not matter both the time efficiency & outer look of the product. Sadly much of what we eat is of accelerated quality in which robs it of life forces sacred energy. My Favorite book is The Little Prince for in it you learn what makes his Rose special is the time in which he cared & nurtured his rose. This same scenario applies to the Earth, Plants & Animals. These Days when I walk amongst nature i like to run my hand over the trees & plants & if I come across a Animals corpse I try to bury its vessel just as you would a pet.

Looking at the mass's food intake I realize the lack of both gratitude & respect when preparing, Harvesting & Ingesting food. As the Life force of many Animals , Fruits & Vegetables are cared for with the primary focus being on material profit rather then Spiritual or Physical Transformation.

If you were to take leaves & plant them expecting growth you would surely be disappointed. I look at what we put in our body as the same Meat, Dairy, Cereals & much more of what we expect to enrich our body I believe only sustains it. If you feed your vessel that in which is Dead or Decaying it is harder for the person to then transform such foods into enriching life force energy.

When we collectively let go of the Matrix of Money, we will as I will guide us to utilize & appreciate the states of Nature & start to partake of the Rainbow Diet & by doing so optimizing & enhancing ones Rainbow Body in reference to the Chakras. When you select foods & liquids know that the color of what you eat  is what will help balance your rainbow body. For instance if you were wanting to cleanse sickness in the body Tomato, Grapefruit, Lemon & Lime all when ingested at room temperature help cleanse for illness cannot grow in a alkaline body. If you were wanting lasting energy you turn to such solid foods like Capsicum, Sweet Potatoe, Avocado & various other Fruits & Vegetables.

The problem we currently face is the fruits of the Earth are robbed of their true potential nutrition & are only a fraction of the benefits possible. This is where I have such solutions for it is not only through specialized Greenhouses but also by utilizing Orgonite energy & furthermore when we use Orgonite Pyramids or other new found devices it is proven to have a Phenomenal effect on Plants as well as the Energy of the states of Nature & even us as Humans.­­

How was Six Sigma Born & its Operational Benefits

The Motorola Six Sigma Story You cannot understand Six Sigma without knowing where it originated from - Motorola. This remarkable story tells us about the way MNCs evolved worldwide. It began in 1981. Motorola was under the threat of Japanese competition. The Japanese had remarkable quality initiatives. They were ahead of any American company. They were undercutting Motorola on prices. This gave them losses of profitability and market share. Motorola was forced to do something about it. The Motorola management made an ambitious plan. They decided to get back at the Japanese and beat them at quality. Top engineers were summoned to Motorola. They were asked to combine all the best quality management practices known then and make a combined methodology that would form Motorola’s quality improvement program. Thus, the first Six Sigma program was born. Motorola came in with a reputation. They had stringent quality measures. Studies showed that they were behind the Japanese. To be competitive they had to improve quality by a 1000% in five years. A determined goal of a 10:1 quality improvement started. Many gurus that Motorola was playing its cards in a bad manner. They started with huge investments in the quality area. Media disapproved of Motorola for using shareholder funds for fantasy-like goals. The management went about doing as they had planned. After 5 years, all business units within Motorola had achieved the 10:1 goal. This boosted the morale of the workers & silenced all the critics. Motorola found out that the Japanese were still way ahead of them. The Japanese had also launched a similar program. Even though it was not as good as Motorola’s, they were ahead because of their earlier lead. Motorola Management became ambitious once again and launched another 1000% improvement drive. The deadline this time was two years. It was criticized for doing this. Despite this, they triumphed yet again. A third program was launched with the same 1000% improvement in quality program. This time, when it ended in 1991, Motorola had failed. They reached 8:1 when measured on a company-wide basis. Some individual units had met their targets of 10:1. When all this was analyzed, Motorola had achieved a target of 800:1 improvement. The critics applauded. Motorola won against the Japanese threat. Six Sigma became the biggest buzzword on the management canvas. Many companies tried to implement it, thinking of reaping the same benefits as Motorola. This is how Six Sigma was born! Operational Benefits of Six Sigma Six Sigma helps businesses in many ways and levels. This blog describes the instant operational benefits that a business derives through Six Sigma. Some of these benefits are as under: The Organization becomes Systems Driven Six Sigma efficiency is impossible to achieve if the mode is craft production. To be efficient, businesses need to depend on systems.  A Six Sigma mindset transforms a people-driven organization into a process-driven one! Decreases Personnel Time and Skill Required Six Sigma saves massive costs. These savings are emphasized by the statistic that after a Six Sigma project, an organization requires fewer labor hours. Skilled laborers’ requirement also goes down. Both combined drastically reduce the labor bill of the business. Reduces Wastage Six Sigma projects reduce wastage. The process is analyzed for costs and value addition. Steps to eliminate wastage to a large extent are taken. Reduces Inventory Needs A Six Sigma project creates a system more efficient than the previous one. Businesses can implement systems like just-in-time inventory practices and still cut costs. Reduces Reworks and Defects Defective processes result in defective products. Each defect has its costs. These could be material, time, overheads, and loss of reputation. Implementing Six Sigma projects pays for itself. It provides financial benefits of near-zero defects to the businesses that implement it. Increases Customer Satisfaction Customers hate unreliable products or businesses. Many Six Sigma businesses have seen their market share increase considerably. Six Sigma positively impacts the marketing of the firm. In the financial evaluation, the revenue (cost reduction) from various sources must be considered. One can then decide if the project is worthwhile or not. The Cost of Poorly Performing Processes Many experts dealing with quality thought that wastage was inevitable. Trying to eliminate it would result in more wastage. For them, eliminating waste was expensive and futile. Juran, the breakthrough quality guru pointed out the costs of poorly performing processes (COPPP). This resulted in people choosing the Six Sigma way of life. The typical of a poorly performing process are: Appraisal Costs These are incurred to find out deficiencies before external customers get affected by them. They don’t include routine quality checks but excessive quality checks that waste resources. Examples of such costs are: - Testing of products prior to shipping - Inspection of purchased supplies - Auditing each and every bill that is generated Double-checking is a good thing to do. Juran thought otherwise. He believed a mechanism is required, that alerts in case of an error. It is good to use resources, to make good the errors, pointed out by the system. The notion was to make a continuous measurement system in which the quality checks were process-driven and not people-driven. Internal Process Deficiency Costs Internal process deficiency costs are incurred in repairs, replacement, or discarding effective work. They are internal because the customer won’t know what happened. When these costs happen, the delivery time is delayed. Customer service levels also take a thrashing. Examples of such costs are: - Overtime - Replacement - Re-work - Lost time External Process Deficiency Costs External process deficiency costs incurred on failures happen when the product or service is being delivered to the end user. These are evident mistakes. They have a huge impact on the public opinion of the business. It has to spend additional to regain the lost confidence of the customers. Examples of such costs are: - Warranty related costs - Giving rebates to affected customers - Correcting billing errors and hence, delayed receipts Juran’s analysis was accepted by the management world. Soon Six Sigma became a rage. The costs of poorly performing processes were too high. Businesses began implementing Six Sigma to be cost-effective and competitive. The 1.5 Sigma Shift Story Some critics say that the whole Six Sigma system is based on fudged numbers. Statisticians say that the name Six Sigma is misleading. Here is why: 3.4 Defects Per Million or 2 Defects Per Billion Six Sigma refers to a process where there are 2 defects per billion times the process is run. The definition of Six Sigma as accepted by modern practitioners says 3.4 defects per million. Achieving an efficiency of 3.4 defects per million makes the process achieve near zero defects. The name Six Sigma is misleading. The value of 3.4 defects per million corresponds to a 4.5 sigma level. The balance is due to the 1.5 sigma shift. Long Term vs. Short Term The logic of the 1.5 Sigma shift is in empirical studies. They have shown that processes fare better in the short term compared with the long term. In the short term, there are normal process variations that need to be dealt with. The long-term cases of special process variation also happen. This results in the process performing at 6 sigma levels in the short run, and at 4.5 sigma levels in the long run. Long Term Dynamic Mean Variation The long-term variation is accounted for by either of the two reasons: - Differences in the process mean over time - Rise in the standard deviation of the process over time As a result of the reasons above, the process doesn’t meet Six Sigma objectives. This is called long-term dynamic mean variation. Empirical Studies at Motorola The Six Sigma criteria are not met because of long-term dynamic mean variation. How does one know that 1.5 sigma from both sides of the normal curve can be removed? It is an industry convention. Motorola started the Six Sigma methodology worldwide. They conducted empirical studies vis-à-vis the improved processes. They also think that a 1.5 sigma shift occurs. Many call this 1.5 Sigma Shift illogical, the industry wants to follow Motorola. This means 3.4 defects per million which define Sigma4.5 are an industry-wide definition of a typical Six Sigma process.     Read the full article

"behold, I come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me." psa 40:7

FedNow Is Live And The Framework Is In Place For CBDCs Yesterday, with a bit of fanfare but not TOO much fanfare, a “wonderful” new product was launched. FedNow is live, and we can all transfer money to our heart’s content via the Federal Reserve. We are now officially on that slippery slope I’ve been talking about. I wrote about exactly this happening in my dystopian fiction, Good Citizens, and discussed how this could evolve to control almost every aspect of our lives.

Texas public universities offering women’s studies courses on witchcraft, ‘worship of the devil’ Students at publicly funded Texas universities are now able to enroll in courses about witches, black magic and the supernatural — under the guise of women’s studies.

Depths Of Depravity: Gay Parents Pressure Surrogate to Kill Baby After Her Cancer Diagnosis It’s hard to imagine the depths of depravity involved in the utterly heartbreaking story I am about to tell you. All I can do is cry out against such evil along with the Psalmist, “O Lord, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!” (Psalm 94:1). I know we aren’t as bad yet in society, but it’s accounts like this that really do make me feel as if we are living in days like Noah

World revival is coming World revival is coming – but not a Christian revival. The future will see a world religion that exalts man and minimizes God. … While the coming world’s religious system in some ways resembles Christianity, John calls it “Babylon the Great” – a monstrous, ecumenical combination of everything that people consider “spiritual.” And the world will buy into it – hook, line and sinker.

CEO Of Tech Company OpenAI Says To Prepare Yourself For The Coming ‘World ID Alex Blania, CEO of Worldcoin, a company that wants billions of people to scan their irises to create a global system of authentication, says that a global form of ID is coming ‘whether you like it or not’.

WHO’s power grab through surveillance and “triple billion” targets During an interview with Peter Sweden, Noor Bin Ladin exposed how the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) does not care about your health, but instead, it acts as a globalist organisation under the United Nations (“UN”) to bring about centralised control.  She discussed how the aim has been the same for the past 100 years, WHO’s grand designs for surveillance and its “triple billion” targets.

Thanks to China’s evil plot to “starve the world” the oceans will cease to be a food supply… By now, you’re probably aware that China is a formidable adversary, particularly with our current leader in office who has no real authority or control. Decades of past failed US leadership has enabled China to act recklessly. And we’re very sad to report that one of their most devious schemes has been realized, and it involves the ocean and the global seafood supply. Brace yourself, because what we’re about to disclose is genuinely alarming.

China Prepares For War: A Timeline Xi’s Inexorable March Toward War.” He’s fond of discussing, and he’s not shy about it, “The rejuvenation of the great Chinese race,” which he likens it to his life’s singular goal. – In October 2022, he mentioned his “laser-like focus on reacquiring the Taiwanese separatists.” He says that if he cannot achieve it, his entire set of lifetime achievements would amount to failure.

Can anyone explain the alarming rise in disability in both the US and UK? I just got off the phone with Ed Dowd. We both agree that the highly alarming rise in disability data in the UK and US is 100% consistent with the COVID vaccine being the cause. If we are wrong and there is a better explanation, why are all the health authorities silent?

Despite Massive Extended Protests, The Netanyahu Government Pushes Through Passage Of ‘Reasonableness Act’ Limiting Power Of Israeli Courts There is big change happening in Israel right now, and it’s being led and championed by Israel’s longest-serving leader, and the people are….hopping mad. Called the ‘Reasonableness Act’, which sounds a little too much like the ‘Enabling Act’ from pre-war Germany, it passed by a vote of 64-0. What’s next? Some are saying nothing short of civil war. Oy, vey! Israel on the brink.

Scientists Working on Merging AI With Human Brain Cells A team of researchers just got a $600,000 grant from Australia’s Office of National Intelligence to study ways of merging human brain cells with artificial intelligence.

Violent thunderstorms spawn unprecedented tornadoes, produce giant hail in Italy Italy confronts contrasting weather extremes as violent thunderstorms, accompanied by giant hailstones, struck northern parts of the country on July 24, 2023, leaving two people dead and causing widespread destruction. In contrast, southern Italy grapples with persistent heatwaves, causing wildfires and the temporary closure of Palermo airport. Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci described the current conditions as some of the most complicated Italy has faced in recent decades.

‘The deadliest threat America’s ever faced’: Mass-produced in China, trafficked from Puerto Rico and available online for just $1 a KILO – why the flesh-rotting zombie drug ‘tranq’ has the DEA terrified A cheap animal tranquilizer being mass-manufactured in China and flooding America’s illicit drug supply is terrifying health officials. Xylazine, or ‘tranq’ as it’s known on the street, has been dubbed a ‘zombie drug’ due to the hunched-over, lifeless state it leaves users in and fact that it causes users’ bodies to erupt in gaping wounds.

The Biden Administration Is Inducing Famine Conditions And Will Enforce Eo 13603 In Order To Eliminate All Resistance Through Planned Starvation Henry Kissinger once admonished leaders that if they controlled oil, they would control nations. However, if one controls food, they control people! Bill Gates and China are doing irreparable damage to the farming industry and the climate change policies are closing the loop.

INFALLIBLE: Pope Francis Tells A Young Transgender Person That God Loves Them Just As They Are, Affirming The LGBTQIA Lifestyle And Agenda Where does it take you if, your whole life, you are a good Catholic who follows the Catholic Church, prays to the ‘Blessed Virgin’, and believes everything they’re taught? It takes you straight to the pit of Hell because at no point during your Catholic life will any priest, bishop, monsignor or pope tell you how to get saved and become born again. The LGBTQIA+ affirming Pope Francis this week consigned a transgender soul to Hell after telling them they didn’t need to change, and that ‘God loves you just as you are’. What does the Bible say? It says the opposite. The pope is quite the liar.

The CBDCs Are Coming, And The Elite Plan To Use These “Digital Currencies” To Enslave Humanity Central bank digital currencies are feverishly being developed all over the globe, and this is something that should deeply alarm all of us.

Population Control and Official USG Policy Personally, I have been reluctant to wander down the rabbit hole relating to various “depopulation agenda” theories involving the COVID crisis. However, the odd concordance between a possible population reduction objective and the dysfunctional “public health” policies is obvious to all open minded thinkers.

Also!!! High amounts of stress can count as trauma. Like. It's a significant amount of stress that is overwhelming and coping skills just kind of fail here, which is why children are more susceptible to it. Trauma is a bunch of cortisol and adrenaline, which are stress hormones.

I mean, this is an oversimplification but yeah! You could also be stressed but not realize it due to dissociation and then a split just occurs without you realizing it. Happens to me.

To start a system, a significant amount of trauma that makes the brain go "uhhh that didn't happen! Let's just bottle that shit up!" before a personality is formed (typically between ages of 7 to 9 years old). Combined with a disorganized attachment to one's primary caregivers that which is highly correlated with pathological dissociation.

Once that system is established, the brain can decide that creating more guys is the best way to handle difficult situations. Bad breakup? There's a guy for that! Test anxiety? There's a guy for that! Forgot to pay taxes because you have amnesia due to having an amnesia and too many guys disorder? There's a guy for that!

Many trauma disorders are defined by their lack of productive coping skills because they're only using the ones that were helpful in the past but not in the present.

I feel like I hear a lot of mixed results on this, so I thought I would ask tumblr systems about it. As a traumagentic system, do splits happen a) only during/after traumatic events, b) during high stress or high emotional events (but not traumatic), or c) splits can occur for any reason, but the system as a whole was formed due to trauma? I personally believe something between a and b, but I wanted to know what other systems thought.

This is specifically about TRAUMAGENTIC systems, and their experiences with splitting.

omniverse future hcs?

sure!! i also did a mini redesign for fun. no gwen redesign though shes perfect

-gwen and ben see marriage the opposite way. gwen thinks its a waste and ben asks all of his friends to marry him no contest bc he likes the idea of being soulbonded or whatever. he and kevin got drunk and got married on an asteroid 5000 light years from earth and its completely null on earth but they still framed their certificate in the living room…. Their commitment to the bit will die when they die

-devlin is consistently grounded 24/7 for things ranging from unplugging bens life support to plug in his ds to waiting untill everyone leaves the house to turn on the fuckcrazy security systems and watch as his family tires to get in. he doesnt think hes being bad he didnt notice the cord was connected to the life support and he just wanted his family to practice breaking in , but he gets grounded anyway bc he needs to be taught a lesson. kenny is less usually grounded but thats bc hes better at hiding things, devlin just LOVES telling people information so he usually just tells on himself.

-i hate that in omniverse kevin joined the orginization that tortured him and kids as little as 6 years old so hes a househusband, he occasionally goes on missions and does work on vehicles but since ben is richer than god he can do whatever he wants basically. hes so happy he decorates the house head to toe for even the most minor of holidays and picks up the kids from school every afternoon. this is like the ulitmate outcome of his life for him. hes wearing the rooters suit in the pic bc even though hes forty now its still his only form of battle gear.

-gwen 'works' at friedkin university (crawls through the vents to get into her office bc the board of directors didnt like that she started chasing around her failing computer science students with hammers)she and albedo, who is a theater teacher, have the ultimate haterivalry. fuck the office but there like dwight and jim from the office. Gwen puts his stapler in jello.

-ben is overly friendly w most children and has a hard time being the mature adult in situations, but as kenny and devlin get older he gets better at being more authoritative. the only one in the family that can be strict is gwen, but shes scared she'll end up as controlling as her own mother so she lays off most of the time. kevin is terrified of repeating the same mistakes his father figures did to him so hes extremely careful with the kids (it helps that kevin is naturally very good w small children and animals but it doesnt rlly help that hes very childish at times and can anger easily. whenever he gets mad he just leaves the room as fast as possible so he never loses control)

-gwen and ben were kind of ambivalent to the idea of having kids until kevin broached the topic and he seemed so excited and enthusiastic abt it they immediatly changed their minds, which is rare for ben bc he doesnt usually rlly do things for other people, but combined w their shared history and the fact that even though hes not good at putting it into actions he still wants to make the ppl he loves happy, he offered to surrogate.

- over time gwen cares less and less abt passing as a human woman. She grows taller and taller as she gets older (by the time shes 35 shes taller than kevin) and she stops padding body fat/ tucking. The older she gets the more she delves into the uncanny valley

-kevin gets his horns at 50 because hes half osmosian, fullfilling the Kevin Bald prophecy
