happy birthday, keisuke!

synopsis: you celebrate keisuke's day with toman.

warnings: gn!reader, swearing, this is fluffy and gross, yn can't bake for shit (me), not proofread, and that should be it!

ft: baji keisuke x reader, 1.2k

network: @enchantedforest-network

a/n: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LOML!!!!!!! i set aside my hw and all to get this finished hehe. it's still the 2nd in my area, but ik it's the 3rd elsewhere! i tried to keep it short and simple this time!! i won't get sappy or anything but i truly love baji so much!! happy birthday, kei, hope its a good one. ♡

with the amount of staring you’ve been doing, you must as well be losing your vision, the words on the screen blurred and hazy. you’ve scrolled through the ingredient and instruction list an obscene amount of times, and yet… things seem to always turn out like this.

“i’ve got no fucking clue what i’m doing!” you huff, but the silver haired man besides you simply laughs in reply. “mitsuya, why does my cake look like one of y’all rolled it over with your motorbikes?”

“to be honest,” he starts, snickering as he inspects it, “i have no idea. i mean, you followed the recipe and all didn’t you?”

you nod, sadly staring at another failed attempt. he decides to take a piece and taste it, throwing it into his mouth, chewing with an unreadable expression.

“it’s not like it’s inedible, it’s miles better than your first attempt. it’s just a little dry and crumbly…” mitsuya says, brow furrowing, “alright, honestly, it’s pretty bad.”

you sigh loudly, picking it up and throwing it into the trash, “i told you we should’ve gotten him a cake from the store!” all your attempts have been moot. instead of a fluffy and moist cake, it’s always flat and dry even with mitsuya’s help.

kazutora pops his head into the kitchen at that moment, “i can run really fast if you want me to.”

you shake your head, “...no. don’t… do that.” you point to your forehead, signaling him of the decorations stuck on his.

he shrugs, pulling off a stray streamer, and walking in before he’s jumping up to sit on the counter.“how are we gonna have a birthday party with no cake?”

you frown, whining, “man, i don’t know. mitsuya, what do we do?”

he glances over at the clock, mouth pressed in a line, before he answers. “you could always stick a candle into his soba noodles, we've got tons of those.”

“we are doomed.” you state, sighing as you slump against the counter. “sorry kei…”

even though you know, deep down, that keisuke baji could give less than two shits about a cake, you really wanted to surprise him. you did the same for him on white day, all those years back in highschool when you finally confessed. he accepted it, shitty chocolate and all, as you hid your burnt bandaged fingers behind your back. he never mentioned it, but you assume he knew, when instead of kissing your lips, he dragged your hands out from behind you and kissed your them while your heart almost sprang out of your chest.

“who’s doomed?” you hear a loud yet comforting voice coming from the hallway. you look up to see draken, smiling ear to ear as he holds a cake box.

“draken!” the three of you giddily call in unison and he smiles wider.

mikey isn’t far behind him, peeking out to say, “there’s no way you guys thought we were gonna eat a cake they made right? it’s literally y/n, we would’ve died. i think baji almost did when he ate your confession chocolate.”

“i’m going to ignore that for now.♡︎” you chime, keeping the strained smile on your face.

“you guys are so mean to my protégé.” mitsuya chides, giving you a pat on the back. “anyway, we’re running out of time before he gets home, let’s finish this up.”

you all nod and run off to your places, with you cleaning up the kitchen, and yourself, as best you can before you head out to the living room. the decorations are strung up nicely, courtesy of emma and hina, although takemichi, chifuyu, and pah definitely tried their best. you’re a little nervous, heart fluttering, as the lights dim and everyone crouches in place.

you wait a few moments, eyes adjusting to the now darkened room as you catch a wave from chifuyu right before the front door slams open. equally as loud as the slam shut, baji talks to his mom on the phone.

“yeah ma, i just got home. thanks for hangin’ with me today. huh? oh yeah, i’ve got plans with the guys tonight…” he mutters, phone pressed up against one shoulder as he kicks his shoes off. “unfortunately, its just the guys, said they couldn’t get off work early enough..” he trails off, a solemn expression on his face and you bite back the urge to laugh.

“alright, love you ma, talk to you later.” he says as he hangs up, placing his book bag onto the floor. as he hits the lights, you all pop up out of place.

“happy birthday, baji!” you cheer out in unison. it’s an explosion of streamers, confetti, and colors with some of you using party poppers and some of you using the blowers.

he jumps while breaking out in a shit-eating grin, his pearly canine teeth in full view. his eyes scan the room til they fall onto you, the excitement sparked behind them clear as he immediately makes his way over to you.

“no fuckin’ way,” he laughs, throwing his arms around you, before peppering kisses on your cheeks. “should’ve known you were a liar.”

you hug him back, but pull off slightly, when you suddenly feel the heavy eyes of everyone around you. “o-okay keisuke, that’s enough.”

he presses a final kiss to your forehead before turns and glares, “huh? you guys got a problem with this?”

mikey glares back, “yeah. i do.”

baji releases you, walking over to “square up” with mikey. the two of them bickering about the importance of everyone showing up, but also, a significant other is important too, and besides, “i was about to greet everyone, it’s not my fault you can’t find a date.”

“here we go,” draken sighs, before sliding onto the couch. “emma, can you get me something to drink?”

you shrug, settling in next to kazutora who’s excitedly bringing out the games for the night. the rest of the party goes well, the laughter bouncing off the walls of your shared apartment. it’s a nice little life you’ve got with baji so far. while he studies his ass off in school, your work is good enough to support the both of you. it’s cozy, it’s everything you’ve wanted.

as the night winds down and everyone clears out, you find yourself cleaning up. you tell keisuke not to worry about it, “it’s your night, i’ll finish up here.” but he tsks you away, shoving littered plastic forks and plates into a bag anyway. he finds you in the kitchen later on, washing a few trays that were used to set the food out.

he snakes his arms around your waist, breath tickling your ear as he asks, “so where’s my cake?”

“huh?” you giggle, turning off the sink. “what are you talking about? we ate it all earlier?”

“no, not that one.” he grins, his pretty hair falling over your shoulder. “the one mikey told me you made.”

you freeze, that little shit. “uh… honestly, we threw them away. even with mitsu’s help, i couldn’t make you anythin’ good.”

“well, that’s no good.” he hums for a bit, before spinning you around, a devious smile on his face.

“kei?” you ask, but you’re interrupted by his lips on yours.

“guess i gotta settle for somethin’ even sweeter.” he murmurs, before his hands are cupping your cheeks as he kisses you again and again.

“you’re so fucking cheesy.” you giggle in between kisses, hands naturally coming around his waist. “happy birthday, keisuke.♡︎”

Hello sorry if I'm bothering you but I wanted to share one of my ideas with you. So what if the reader appeared on the Loufu and it caused a small tremor along with a large energy fluctuation so Jing Yuan went to investigate with Fu Xuan going with him and they came across an unconscious person who was not only confused when they awoke but completely exhausted, hungry and with strange markings on some parts of their body and when they got examined by a doctor it was discovered that they had an extremely large amount of strange energy within their body. (This was inspired by the first episode of Aphmau Diaries rebirth, here's the link if you don't know what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/1Vzq1QZVtuk?si=kyIxOyJTSnTjNaMG) (if you don't want to write this that's completely alright and I wish you a good morning/afternoon or goodnight☺️)

An Unexpected Guest

A/n: Hello anon!! I’m so sorry for the late response- thank you so much for your patience! I really like this idea- I’ve heard a lot about the Aphmau series but I’ve never gotten the chance to actually watch it (^o^) I hope you have a fabulous day!!

Warnings: mentions of severe injuries/wounds + infections + unconsciousness, slight refernces to Honkai Impact 3rd (reader’s markings are implied to be honkai infections + mentions of reader fighting archangels from Hi3)

Genre: fluff

Pairing: Jing Yuan x gn!reader (PLATONIC), Fu Xuan x gn!reader (PLATONIC)

Word Count: 1.9k

All was peaceful on the Xianzhou Luofu. Beams of sunlight illuminated the vibrant blue sky, tinting everything in a warm shade of gold. Shops operated on every street, the sharp ping of bells and the shouts of shopkeepers echoed out through the streets, attracting clamoring swells of civilians in record time. Children happily played among the crowds, swept up in the rare, shopping-induced excitement of the adults. For a change, there was little distress anywhere on the ship. There was no word of the Stellaron Hunters, no new reports of people being Mara struck, and even no reports of petty crimes. The workload wasn’t too terrible for those in command of the Luofu either- Jing Yuan was able to take a long nap, and Fu Xuan was able to take a break and have some tea for the first time in weeks. Yangqing managed to squeeze in some training time too. All was well. All was normal.

But of course, in a universe as vast and random as this one, the fates wouldn’t let it stay this peaceful for long. And of course, as a general, Jing Yuan must be prepared for anything. It is one of his most basic duties to stay alert and be ready at all times. Even so, the sleeping general couldn’t help but flinch in surprise as an ear-shattering boom echoed throughout the whole ship, followed by an earthquake that managed to toss even him out of bed. Meanwhile, just as Fu Xuan was about to swallow her first sip of tea, the vigorous shaking of the floor managed to knock the teacup out of her hands. Not only did she have to watch as her favorite cup shattered to bits, but she choked on her tea as well, leaving her in a wheezing heap on the floor.

Thankfully both parties quickly recovered and ran to the windows of their respective offices to see what happened. A pillar of light shone from the Starskiff docks, along with a plume of dust that undoubtedly came from an explosion. Only a few minutes after this discovery, Fu Xuan was given orders from Jing Yuan to go inspect the crisis with him. So much for a peaceful day.

As the disoriented pair cautiously approached the docks, they saw the silhouette of a crumpled body lying in the center of the dissipating light. Jing Yuan was the first to kneel down and inspect the injured figure. After checking your pulse, it became clear that you were still alive. But just barely. You were covered in deep, razor-fine cuts, and sizeable bruises littered your legs and arms. Jing Yuan didn’t know what had happened to you, but it was clear that what went down wasn’t good. The dark circles under your eyes suggested that you had been fighting for a long time, with no rest or nutrition. Taking a step back, the general’s features morphed into an expression of deep concern. He sighed and turned to his diviner companion, who was practically bursting to comment on the situation.

“Fu Xuan… I imagine you saw this coming?”

“I, in fact… did not. For once, my divinations couldn’t pick up on… well, anything of note happening today.”

“Hm… how interesting.”

Jing Yuan cast his gaze down to you once more, trying to decide what to do next. Fu Xuan merely suffered in silence at his side, completely unsure of what to do as well. After a few moments of heavy silence, the general scooped up your beaten body in his arms and began walking back to the Exalting Sanctum. Fu Xuan stared at him for a few moments before jogging after him, urgently asking him what he was doing. Jing Yuan calmly explained that, given the strange nature of the situation, you would need to be brought in for questioning and given heavy medical attention. The diviner huffed, quietly grumbling something about incompetence before following in his wake.

Once they returned to the Exanting Sanctum, Jing Yuan called upon his tiny friend Bailu to help heal you. Having called upon her for anti-sleeping medicine many times before, Jing Yuan practically had her on speed dial in case any new problems arose. Hours upon hours passed before you were well enough to awaken, but Bailu’s work certainly did not disappoint. The gashes on your body had faded into nothingness, save for a few scars, and the herbs she used helped you recover after losing so much blood. According to Bailu, you needed much more time to rest, but by tomorrow you would be alright. However, one odd trait resisted her treatment: the glowing lines left on your stomach.

Bailu was the only one who had seen them so far. The markings were hidden by cloth and blood when you were found, so it slipped past the awareness of the general and diviner. She worriedly called them in, asking if they knew what those marks were, but she was given no answers. Perhaps the truth would reveal itself when you woke up, but for now, it was hopeless. Jing Yuan gratefully bid the exhausted healer goodbye, taking a seat by your bed afterward. Meanwhile, Fu Xuan further examined your markings. They were long, branch-like streaks of bright purple that extended towards your chest, almost like an infection. However, they didn’t seem to be getting worse, and they didn’t behave the way a bad infection would. Feeling a bit frustrated, she gave up and resorted to waiting alongside the general.

While Jing Yuan fell asleep in no time, the poor diviner was left awake and antsy. The room was dead quiet, but the anxious tapping of her foot repeatedly broke the silence. She could see the future, for god's sake! How could she have ended up so clueless in this situation?! She was so used to knowing everything, planning ahead, and having things run as they should. But now, she was at a complete loss. She didn’t know anything about those marks, or about you. And she if there was one thing she hated, it was not knowing things. In order to save her sanity from crashing and burning, she hurried out of your room to browse the Luofu’s databases for information. And oh boy, did she find what she was looking for.

The amount of information locked away in the Luofu’s archives was enough to have anyone floored- even Fu Xuan. As her gaze flickered over each document she found about body markings, she became even more astounded at what she found. The markings you had signified great power, but were also a promise of anguish and ruin. The only other person to have these marks crashed onto the ship centuries ago, in the same way you did. No one knew who they were, or why they appeared. Even after contacting other planets, it became clear that they had never been seen before. Those markings were a mystery, as well as their identity. All anyone knew was that they possessed powers akin to a god, and were classified as a severe threat.

Borderline sprinting, Fu Xuan hauled herself back to your room to tell Jing Yuan everything she found. You could bring ruin to everyone on the Luofu if what she read was true. Not to mention the fact that you were immune to her divinations– you already had an advantage against her. Maybe this was all part of your plan, maybe you had already begun to–

As she opened the door to your room, her spiral immediately stopped. To her surprise, you were awake and pleasantly chatting away with the general. You seemed… polite. Friendly, even. Once you noticed her presence, you kindly greeted her and asked how she was. Fu Xuan short-circuited at this, staring at you in sheer bewilderment. What happened to the flames and destruction she read about? What exactly was going on?! She was still very wary of you, but she mustered up the courage to respond with a terse “Hello. I'm fine”. The way you greeted her showed that you weren’t an immediate threat, so maybe she could entertain small talk with you. For now, at least.

After Fu Xuan discreetly briefed Jing Yuan on what she found, they began to question you. It was like something out of a good cop/bad cop show. The general was authoritative yet calm, and the diviner was like a defensive chihuahua. You revealed that you had been fighting off a swarm of white, bug-like creatures when you lost consciousness. All you could remember was getting hit in the stomach by one of them before blacking out. Jing Yuan gave his companion a knowing side-eye. Where you got hit was undoubtedly connected to those markings. They’d have to have Bailu examine them again once you were settled in, and testing would be necessary if you were cooperative enough.

But what were they meant to do now? They obviously couldn’t let you roam around the universe to fend for yourself, especially if those lines meant that you were uncontrollably powerful. They couldn’t keep you in captivity either though- it was inhumane, and would only make everything worse. If they wanted to give you freedom while keeping the universe safe, they would have to let you stay on the ship until they confirmed you weren’t a threat. Jing Yuan was intrigued by you- not just because you were an enigma, but because of your personality. You were kind, even in such jarring circumstances. you showed a rare kind of strength, one that pushed him to converse with you more. Besides, with the power you supposedly held, you could prove to be a useful force against the mara.

“I’m assuming you don't have anywhere to go, yes?”

“Jing Yuan, just what are you thinkin–”

“We would be happy to house you on the Xianzhou Luofu for a while. There’s more we would like to ask you about… and, I have a feeling you’ve got a myriad of interesting stories to tell.”

After a moment of contemplation, you wearily accepted. The offer was very generous- besides, what other options did you have? You had no recorded identity in this world and no way of knowing what dangers awaited you. Heading out on your own was a death wish. Besides, your conversation with the general had been nice, and his pink-haired friend was entertaining. Here, you didn’t feel threatened. Jing Yuan seemed like a kind man, and it had been a while since someone had listened to you so attentively. You couldn’t help but be drawn to the diviner beside him as well. She might have been openly suspicious of you, but you couldn’t blame her. Her grumpy, yet determined way of going about things was amusing, and you could tell that there was a softer side to her behind her defensiveness. It was admirable how well she held herself together despite the chaotic nature of your arrival.

It would take a lot of time to process all that had happened to you in the last 24 hours (along with a lot of therapy), but at least you had two allies to fall back on now. It was probably a poor choice to trust them so quickly, but the energy they exuded was welcoming– you could tell they were good people. Maybe the universe brought you to them for a reason. It was far-fetched, but if you were going to end up in a completely foreign world, who better to take you in than two of the ship’s leaders? As you fell asleep that night, long after the two of them had left, you attempted to prepare yourself for the next few weeks. The rest of your journey might end up being hell, but you had a feeling that will the help of the general and diviner, everything might just turn out okay.

🖤 🧡 💚

This is getting intense. It's pinching at his hearts. I need a better observation post. Thank Beef for the card shop, though- and its rooftop bar. It's not exactly a night of snuggling and macaroni, but Pearl's whisper over comm gave him a good excuse to duck out. He likes Ren. But Ren's… a lot. It's charming to see him playing with the young fox hybrids. Jimmy's presence helped soak some energy too; it's easier, see, to handle Ren in small doses or with a bigger group. But it's nice to stretch. He needs time with his own thoughts now and then.

BigB lands in a fwump of wings. Not many people are up here tonight. Yeah, card games don't tend to be an instinct programmed into mob behavior. This place will be busier come new moon night. Three people sit at the barstools, talking to someone that BigB barely glanced at. They look heavily modded. No full moon pulls for them. Scar's here too. After what he glimpsed when Scar was on the floor with Scott, he'd be more surprised if he wasn't. Didn't Martyn crash through his roof? Yikes.

"Mind if I join you?" he asks over his shoulder. Scar looks up. He's drinking alone tonight. Again, don't blame him. Heavier than usual for him, isn't it? Raw binary code sparkles in his shot glass. Scar's eyes glint off-green, all dim and hazy. His soul traits haven't sprung up, though his form seems to be a little loose around the shoulders.

"Hello, BigB! No, not at all- pull up a seat if you'd like. What's the word on the streets these days?"

BigB's antennae twitch forward. He climbs on top of a short block stack at the edge of the roof- the corner spot where the fence post railing connects. Yeah, this will work. It's easier to sit on than the posts themselves and he gets a decent view of Headquarters. Scar's just two tables over, within prox chat distance. BigB gets himself situated, flapping out his wings. He cracks open the eyespots to soak in as much area as he can. "Well… Impulse and Tango got some farms approved. They're only authorized to run it for short periods of time and they're on trial to prove they can follow through with the ethics requirements, but we might get renewable iron rolling in pretty soon. Dude, that would be a game-changer."

"Oh, really?" Scar takes another sip of his drink. His vex wings flutter at his shoulders. BigB doesn't need to turn around to see that. "You know, I've always wondered why we have glowing iron golems in this dimension, but not glowing iron. It really makes you think. What a quad- quandary."

"Hmm… I guess because it's a programmed drop, not a literal part of their body."

"True!"

What a day. One of the longest ones he's experienced in a while, seeing as he had check-in work in the morning, a full two weeks of recording, and city inspection work when he went offline. BigB yawns, thrumming his wings. But Pearl asked him to keep an eye on Scott, and Scott's definitely up to something. He snuck out a window. This should be interesting.

"BigB?"

"What?"

"Do you think Grian would like me more if I was a worm?"

He rolls one of his eyespots, trying not to show expression otherwise. "I'm sure Grian likes you fine." If this is some jab at soulmates and Double Life, it's not one he's up for tonight. Though that thought does wiggle beneath his exoskeleton and bite at every heart.

I bet Ren would like me more if I were a giant world-eating worm.

Maybe he would've been into that in a way he wasn't into a soft and fluffy moth who loitered in the corners of his eyes, following instructions instead of bossing him around. And as he thinks that, he pinches his brow and rubs up and down. Ren checked every box when they were soulmates. He flirted and flounced and nuzzled while living at Box…

… but Ren's into things that BigB was never going to be able to give him, like fangs and drool and razor-sharp claws. He embraced the roleplay. Pretended there was something there. They were cuddling shirtless every night. Even carroting sometimes, foreheads pressed and mouths soft as they huffed against each other's necks. Hands sliding, fingers tracing spiracles they could both feel, even though they were only legitimate on BigB's skin. Arms wrapped around each other. Backs arched as they whispered and chased that little lip of lust and trust.

"Oh no," Scar says softly, mostly to his drink. "He might not recognize me if I'm a worm. Do you think Cub still would?" Cub loves me, Scar adds in his mind. BigB can hear that, like he can hear everything, because of the way Scar's throat constricts on individual words. It's subtle, but he can. Because BigB always listens, and he picks up everything.

He flicks an antenna, but otherwise ignores this, lost in his own thoughts and the cold hand resting on his face. It's almost not fair, you know… how everyone in Double Life got paired with someone they could learn to love. Maybe had loved in the past. And he and Ren had golden history, twirling around each other like a moth chasing flames in 3rd Life and Last Life too.

But loving Ren is a loser's game from the start, if you aren't someone like Martyn who was born with spiny wings and lashing tail and fangs and drool and claws. Ren's a performer and very good when guiding partners through a rush of carrots, but he was never going to fall in love with BigB the way BigB tried to fall in love with him.

It's not like he didn't try. He cuddled too. He responded with what felt like enthusiasm every time Ren pulled him in, licking his cheeks and running hands down his sides. Pulling him down on the bed and into his arms. Day after day, week after week, he mirrored the motions and fell in love. Even when he knew it wasn't real. When he lay his head on Ren's rising, falling chest and gazed up at his sleepy, bristle-covered face.

Ren's such a rugged and handsome man, honestly. He loves working in the dirt. Maybe it's a dog thing. Maybe he just likes plants and tiny creatures in the soil. He's got the muscles of someone who rolls huge boulders aside just to take a peek at ants and worms. Maybe a fungus.

And he's beautiful, and he loves so much, and it's all too much sometimes (because it isn't real). So with wings whispering at his back… BigB rested his cheek and curled his fingers, biting bare skin, and asked him for the truth.

"If I mod in some ears and fangs and maybe a tail, would that do something for you?"

I wrote a bunch of paragraphs about nothing in particular again so here it is under a readmore so it doesn't take up space.

like 8 years ago when people used tumblr more via desktop browser than its app, I put a 3rd party metric tracker in my desktop theme that logged how people were referred to my blog. it also captured what pages of my blog people viewed.

at one point during this time I reblogged a piece of pixel art from a japanese artist. they came to my blog through their activity page, and then searched my blog in a couple different ways for the terms "ドット" and "ドット絵" ("dot" and "dot art", as in pixel art). I checked those search urls myself to see if they found anything but there were no results because I never used those terms or specifically tagged pixel art in any other way.

ever since then I've made an effort to tag all pixel art I reblog with the term "pixel art". that artist was probably hoping to find more art to check out and it bums me out that my tagging system wasn't thorough enough to help.

this is why I have my current specific tag system lol. it keeps evolving but having the ability to find stuff you're into without jumping through hoops is really handy. (the site-wide post and tag searches return sooo much bullshit. it's a slog sifting through thr noise whenever I use those to fill my queue due to the sheer amount of manga caps, polls, liveblogs, personal posts, and fics posted without readmores...)

if only the way to view all tags you've ever used still worked. I think it caps at 500 or 1000 now and is also chronological so the first 500 or whatever tags you ever used show up in the list. then there's a hard stop and it does not update as you delete posts or use that mass tag editor to remove certain tags for your blog entirely.

I went through my used tag list earlier this year to unify certain tags and remove tags that I stopped using in favor for other ones, but I only got like 400 tagged terms down the list. maybe downloading my blog data would show more. the trick I mentioned uses your desktop blog's archive page. the tags are in its code so you can use "inspect element" to view it. I remember scrolling a lot to load a bunch of posts on the page but cant remember if this was required or I just did it to see if I could access more tags.

it's formatted all fucked and hard to manage but you can copy and paste the long chunk of tags into one cell of a spreadsheet and then use Data options to split them into columns by commas (or whatever punctuation separates them, I forget). a wide list is a huge pain to view so from there you can click on a cell containing data, click ctrl+a to highlight all data in thr row, copy, then paste special as "transposed" to turn the copied row 90° so it pastes as a column. the spreadsheet will wide as fuck from the hundreds of columns so honestly its easier to paste the transposed data into a new tab and delete the original vs clicking in the column to the left of your transposed data and then pressing ctrl+ shift+right arrow to select all rows to the right, then deleting the extra rows.

if you're in Excel you may have to use the "delete rows" option from the "home" tab and then save the sheet using "file > save" (do NOT save via the save button on the upper left corner or ctrl+s). this returns the sheet to a manageable size for scrolling (plus reduces its file size). this piece of shit software usually retains the sheet width/length even after you delete hundreds of columns/rows unless you use this trick of deleting specifically via home tab + saving specifically through the save menu.

I got a round number of tags when I did this which makes me think there's a cutoff.

METAL ROOFING PROS AND CONS

This is part one, of a two part series regarding Metal Roofing. With the world's weather being stranger than ever (or so it seems), we thought we would give some insights, both good and bad, into Metal Roofing. We will begin with the PROS!

PROS FOR METAL ROOFING

Metal roofing is an excellent option for most homes. Today, there are tons of options available to fit in with the design of any home, and they’re designed to be longer-lasting and more durable than other types of roofing. Some of the biggest pros to having a metal roof include the following:

LONGER LASTING

A Houston shingle roof is only going to last somewhere between 12 to 20 years, depending on the quality of materials and installation. A metal roof, however, can last between 40 to 70 years, depending on the type of metal used and the installation. Homeowners who want to save money by not having to repair or replace their roofs as frequently may consider a metal roof. They won’t have to worry about any repairs or replacements for quite a while.

FAR MORE DURABLE

The durability of roofing is crucial, especially in cities like Galveston, TX, where severe storms and hurricanes are possible. Metal roofs can sustain higher winds, up to 140 miles per hour, when they’re installed properly and can be resistant to impact, which certainly occur. It is still crucial to inspect them occasionally of course, as to make sure everything is holding up properly, but the roof won’t corrode or crack, making it an excellent option when durability is required.

SAFER THAN OTHER MATERIALS

Wildfires and lightning strikes can happen at any time as well. When they do, shingle roofing can ignite from small sparks, leading to a house fire. Metal roofing, however, is safer. It’s not going to spark or ignite into flames, so it can help protect the home further from significant damage.

MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT

Take homeowners in Bunker Hill Village, TX, for example. They know just how hot the area can get. Metal roofs are designed to help reflect the UV and infrared lights from the sun, keeping the entire roof cooler no matter how hot it is outside. This can result in 10 to 25% lower cooling costs, saving homeowners a significant amount of money in the long run.

BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Metal roofs, depending on what options are chosen, can be made from recycled materials. They’re also completely recyclable when they’re replaced, unlike shingle roofs that can’t be recycled at all. Plus, since they last longer, there are fewer wasted materials used during the installation or repair of metal roofs, adding to the benefits for the environment.

Our next post will cover the CONS of Metal Roofs. Be sure to check back, they are interesting.

All that said, we have many roofing options that can fit your budget and needs. So do consider Precision Roof Crafters when it's time to repair or replace your roof. We do not disappoint... and though we service all 50 States, know that our Home base is in Houston, Texas. We will be bringing lots of Educational Material to this particular blog, and it will be given from Roofing Masters, not just paid performers, so be sure to follow or check in with us.

Of course, should you have any roofing issues, do consider us! We have a 28 year track record and almost 30,000 Successful Jobs completed... with ZERO FAILURES. Visit our website (link below) or checkout this short, 3rd party, independent video review of our company: >>> CLICK HERE <<<

Salvage Showcase: Sachi Mizuiyama

Welcome to the next showcase!! As promised I’ll be doing one on one of Danganronpa Kirigiri’s cast and what better one to start out the DRK portion than one of the more relevant side characters - Sachi Mizuiyama.

The Summary

Sachi Mizuiyama debuted in Danganronpa Kirigiri in its 3rd novel and is apart of the Detective Library. She is listed under technological crime and specializes in architecture, holding the current rank of 527. Sachi was called to the Takeda Haunted Mansion Duel Noir, under the pretense of her inspecting the architecture of the building. However, she and four other detectives would find their proxy to be a no-show. After one of them, Suntetsu Shirasu, disappears, the remaining four reveal their status as detectives to each other and tried to figure out what was going on. This would lead them to a locked room that they manage to get open with help from newcomers Yui Samidare and Kyoko Kirigiri. However, when they do get it open, they find Suntetsu dead, propped up by suits of armor and impaled by a katana. No culprit in sight.

As the case progresses its discovered that Sachi, seemingly, was the one to kill the guy and is arrested, despite her panicked claims otherwise. In truth, this was a plot to lure out the true culprit, Korisu Kakitsubata, and Sachi is let go.

The next day, Kyoko calls out the remaining third party detectives from the Takeda case in order to recruit them for aid in tackling the remainder cases of the 12 Duel Noir Challenge. Sachi is hesitant and holds a bit of a grudge for being framed, but nonetheless goes and joins the group in Salvador’s car. While the girls request the other three’s aid, Sachi initially doesn’t want to, but gives in after a combination of peer pressure, hearing Salvador’s tale of his lost partner and wanting to regain some pride over the framing debacle. She opts to take on the Museum of Medieval Torture Duel Noir, since she has been at the museum before.

During this time, she uses her ability to read people and decieving even the likes of the police and uni students in order to acquire information that leads her into not only discovering the culprit, Koriyasu Karisuba, but also figuring out how he killed his target: a university professor who murdered his girlfriend. She even meets one of her teammates, Licorne, who warns her not to go too far since the others wouldn’t want there to be anymore victims...

Which leads into one of the twists for the 5th volume. Sachi is one of the 12 Victims, being a Libra and the culprit of the Libra Girls Academy Duel Noir. She killed a student she had an altercation with in the past and kidnapped two others as well for her ploy. Prior to attending to her case, she used her Ally status to gain information on both the Museum and Bar cases, as well as killing Hajiki. From there, under the guise of a Black Cape, trapped Yui and the two innocents of her Duel Noir in the academy - which used the likes of a scale trick. With help from Salvador, Yui and the others escape...only for Sachi to ambush Salvador, beating him in the head with her pipe and heavily injuring him. While Yui does manage to expose Sachi as a Victim, Sachi doesn’t care and holds her up with a nail gun. She reveals herself to be a fanatic to Gekka, the Host of the 12 Duel Noir Challlenge, not wanting him to step down from his role as an Executive for the Victims Catharsis Committee. Ultimately, interference by the Mystery Research Society Sal brought with him has her knocked out and arrested. In jail, she gives out the information of the two Duel Noirs she looked into, wondering if Yui’s method is right before hanging up to face law’s judgement.

As a person, Sachi is cautious, keen and holds a fierce deception game with a knack for reading people. She can quickly get a read on the character of a person and exploits it to gain advantage in her situation, easily crafting lies on the spot to get people to drop their guard. In contrast, she is also adept at hiding her true nature up until she needs to personally get involved. While she tries to hold up a front of being a dutiful, if reluctant, prideful and easily flustered, detective that loves her culture and even a bit of a romantic (if her interaction with Salvador was genuine), behind it is a woman that holds a fierce, crazed, murderously loyal, devotion to Gekka - the person she admires the most since he embodies upholding conviction the most from what she ‘read’ from him. A trait that she herself admits she lacks, which is why she can’t be someone of justice. When it comes to this she holds no care for others lives or even her own Catharsis, valuing only the person she holds dear and only wants to give him the Catharsis that she believed he deserved.

The Rundown

In DRK one of the main themes concerning the novels concerns what drives a detective forward. For Yui Samidare its justice, for the seedier individuals it would be fame and prestige from their Library rank.In this case of Sachi her drive and theme is attachment. Though if you want to go further, its ‘toxic attachment’ or even ‘parasocial attachment’.

Now Sachi as a concept is also interesting since she serves as a foil to Yui. What do you get when you have Yui, who holds an utter passion for justice and protecting nature for those she cares about, but boil it down to just the latter trait? Well, you get Sachi - a person that can empathize with those she’s attached to and think of them worthy of being saved, but has no real concern for those who are outside that attachment. AKA pretty much everyone else that are not Gekka.

Anything for someone that, as far as the novels go, she actually doesn’t have a real bond with. Sachi is giving it her all to someone who she knows nothing of personally aside from his image and in turn he knows nothing personal of her. She’s more akin to an obsessed fangirl in that regard or thrall if you want to fit in with the Triple Zeroes having a monster/supernatural theme to them. This contrasts greatly with Yui doing her best try and save people from the Duel Noir. She doesn’t know them personally, but its her care for the lives of others that has her try to ensure their safety, instead of measuring their worth based on a personal standard. A line that separates selfishness (Sachi) and selflessness (Yui). It’s also ironic that Sachi, someone who knows little of Gekka personally, is willing to go through extreme lengths to stop someone who actually has met Gekka and know of him long enough have some sort of respectful relationship with, even if they were enemies. Heck, on thate note, Sachi even seemed jealous of Yui for it, wondering why it couldn’t have been her chosen instead.

Both Sachi and Yui even contrast design wise. Yui is a girl of moderate-reasonably taller stature that has athletic legs. One of her deign choices is that she wears shorts instead of the usual school skirt, better suited for her detective work and showcasing more of her unorthodox nature in a profession full of people either lost their way or not really doing it for justice. Frequently throughout the novel, we get to see just how caring she is and willing to help those in need, holding a virtuous heart inspite of being unconventional looking and wouldn’t want to harm anybody if she could help it. Sachi, meanwhile, is a short woman dressed in kimono, seemingly weak, and appears as traditionally elegant as one could get. Yet, by her actions, it shows that such a design is hiding her twisted emotions and how the seemingly traditional look is not as benevolent as it seems. She holds no care for those outside of Gekka, and is not above brutally attacking and killing people with blunt force if necessary.

There’s also a degree of tragedy in here given that Sachi goes through great lengths, effectively ruining her life for someone she rarely knows. She kills two people in cold blood, gravely wounds a third, kidnaps two that didn’t have anything to do with her plight beforehand and was planning on keeping Yui hostge. She did all of this, only for the audience to find out later on that Gekka died before the girls even reached his castle. She gave her all for someone that was already dead before she knew it. Effectively making her actions pointless.

Personal Thoughts

Now, what do I think about Sachi? Well, its of a bit of Madarai situation where I can appreciate the concept surrounding her and, unlike the Madarai, I do like her personality....just not so much the execution concerning her roles in the story.

Sachi’s case is...weird. You see, when you have the summary in mind and knowledge of her role in 3 out of 7 of the novels, on-paper everything seems to click. But its when you prod at each novel case by case does things fall apart. Sachi appears in the ending case of Volume 3. While she was the framed party for the case, ultimately she, Salvador and Hajiki mostly take a backseat as the cases’s third parties, good for some more worldbuilding or alibi piecing together, but not much in the way of development yet.

Volume 4 sees a bit more of her character shown off such as her cautious nature, love of Japanese culture and even how much she values her pride in terms of being slighted. But volume 4 is not focused on her. Hajiki and her leave the novel early on in favor or Kyoko, Yui and Salvador getting spotlight with their cases and stories.

It isn’t until volume 5 where I can consider Sachi to be a fully fleshed out character since we get her background concerning her counselor life, how she handles investigations, own philosophy concerning her ‘readings’ and, naturally, her attitude as a devoted fan of Gekka and ruthless Victim. The problem with her comes when you try and stick the reveal portions of her character with her prior depictions. They don’t feel cohesive and for several reasons.

1. Sachi’s role in 3/4 is greatly lower than that of most of her teammates, only barely beating out Hajiki in terms of character relevance and scenes at this point. And this is to be expected given the others are the main characters, a Triple Zero and the partner of a dead side character. Sachi never had time to shine much until 5, but this also means that (if the twist planned in advance mind you...and personally I think otherwise) her reveal as a villain was going to be rocky from the get go.

2. The ‘foreshadowing’ of her villain status is...shaky. Now I don’t want to say, ‘oh its just Volume 5 where it hinted’, since looking at volume 4 (with the benefit of hindsight) you could probably guess she’s suspicious given that she joins the team last and maybe for not wanting to believe Gekka is a criminal. But in defense of that, it was never really was a stand-out extent and even Hajiki/Salvador didn’t quite want to believe Gekka was crooked. Vol 5 is where it's more concrete, like bringing up her school counselor status, using a pipe which is the Libra Girls’s weapon of choice or Lico’s line, but I also feel it still isn’t enough to match with how drastically she changes and her motivation reveal. Actually, that might just be the biggest ‘sin’ here...

3. The reveal set in place is too drastically different for her character to take on to really match her character. It feels tacked on, partly for the sake of an out of left field swerve and partly a reason I’ll get to later. For the former it kind of leaves a bad taste for me since it feels like the story is kicking you for being sane and agreeing with logic that itself set up. ‘Yes, DRK, I should have pieced together that one of the three guys in the 3rd novel who, according to the Duel Noir set-ups, was specifically a framed party meant to go to prison for Korisu and with logic from Kyoko herself stating that she was very likely not to be a culprit or with the enemy.... just so happened to be a culprit in the Challenge and supports the enemy!’ forgive me for expecting the author wouldn’t be the type to do this. It does a disservice to both the reader and even Kyoko since its not a twist that happened based on the cast making a logical mistake or not considering the options but the wriitng equivalent of the author going back on their word. It also makes the story feel rather contrived considering how unlucky the others were to just so happen to have the enemy just so happens to be in another active Duel Noir.

3. Too much roles at once. She’s a member of the Allied Detectives, except she’s actually a Victim...oh no wait that’s not actually important. She’s a devotee for Gekka....for some reason. She has never shown this level of insane passion beforehand. And now she’s out of the story for good. You can see the issue right? She’s slotted into too many parts, with both the Victim and Fangirl role being slotted in abruptly late in volume 5 to ever feel natural. It’s even worse for the former because not even the story gives a shit about that role, in preference for the Gekka reveal...which doesn’t work given the aformentioned lack of buildup or naturalness to it. It’s less of enhancement to Sachi’s character and more of another piece the author seemed in a hurry to shove in.

4. Now for the other partial reason why I think her villain status exists, and it kind goes back to the unused potential of the other recruits, Salvador and Hajiki. DRK is a story centered around both Yui and Kyoko. While others like Lico and the VCC Executives exist and can have their own stories told, its centered about those two first and foremost. While the Challenge required helpers to aid them since they couldn’t tackle all twelve realistically, the issue comes with utilizing the Recruits beyond it in a story mostly centered about the mentioned two. An issue that the author likely opted to resolve by just writing them out as fast as he could. Perhaps plans had to be changed and/or maybe the author didn’t quite know how to get these guys out of the stories cleanly, but I believe Sachi being a villain that takes out Hajiki and Sal was a hasty way of getting all three recruits out wihout stopping to wonder about their contributions to the story.

Dead, hospital or, in Sachi’s case, prison. It would explain why the story brushes aside her being a Victim with ‘Gekka may/may not have pulled some strings’, she herself having no care or bothering to explain her past with her Target (which stands out sorely considering every other Victim in this story is very affected by their lives being wrecked by their Targets), and the whole abrupt nature of her Gekka’s devotee reveal. It feels unnatural because its likely the author’s way of getting her out immediately nstead of a more organic method.

Something that is kind of upseting since I really love the Allies recruited for the 12 Duel Noir Challenge, Sachi included because it gave the sense of proper escalation. The girls can’t take down a crime organization by thesemselves so gaining detectives they know are clean (at least that was the plan) was a nice step towards maybe forming their own organization of stopping the Duels. Being more strategic in their planning and proactive? We can even explore more group dynamics now and see how their different specliazations clash or enhance their investigations? Nope. In about two days their new team went from six back to one so darn quick its unreal. It’s sad and reeks of so much more, but its a done deal.

Beyond her roles, I really do love Sachi’s personality. She’s a smol woman whose quick wits and improv tongue can get in her good graces or out of jams. It’s really enjoyable! What’s not to like!

Another showcase down, hopes these are enjoyable for you guys. For the next one, a look into a character from the manga of Killer Killer!

7 Most Common Product Compliance Issues and How to Prevent Them

Product compliance is vital to manufacturing, buying, importing, and selling goods. It is essential to ensure that your products adhere to regulatory requirements not only for legal reasons but also to protect the well-being of end consumers and maintain your brand’s reputation. Manufacturers, buyers, importers, and brands must know common compliance issues when importing products into countries like Europe, the USA, or Saudi Arabia.

1. Inadequate or Incorrect Labeling

Labeling is crucial in product compliance, as it conveys important information such as warnings, symbols, instructions for use, and product origin. Non-compliant or inaccurate labels can result in fines, product recalls, and damage your brand’s reputation. To ensure accurate and compliant labeling, follow these practical steps:

Research and understand local regulations:

Familiarize yourself with the specific labeling requirements for each target market by consulting local regulations and standards. This will help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure your product’s compliance.

Collaborate with suppliers and designers:

Work closely with your suppliers and design team to create compliant labels that meet the requirements. Communication is key to ensuring all parties understand the importance of accurate and compliant labeling.

Test label durability:

It’s essential to ensure important information remains legible throughout the product’s life cycle. Conduct durability tests on labels to ensure they can withstand various conditions, such as exposure to moisture, sunlight, and wear and tear.

2. Non-Compliant Materials and Chemicals

Utilizing restricted or hazardous materials in your products may result in severe compliance challenges. It’s essential to adhere to international regulations and guidelines that govern the use of specific substances, such as lead, phthalates, and formaldehyde, to avoid potential penalties and reputational damage.

To optimize your approach to materials and chemicals compliance, consider the following strategies:

Research and understand relevant regulations:

Familiarize yourself with pertinent legislation, such as the European Union’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances or RoHS compliance, as well as the United States Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). Keeping abreast of these regulations will help you stay informed about any updates or changes.

Prioritize the use of compliant materials:

Actively seek out and select materials that meet the necessary regulatory standards. Make compliance a key factor in your decision-making process when choosing materials and suppliers.

Engage with reliable and trusted suppliers:

Establish partnerships with reputable suppliers who consistently commit to meeting regulatory requirements. They should be transparent about their practices, allowing you to verify their compliance with relevant laws.

Implement regular supply chain audits:

Schedule routine quality control audits of your supply chain to ensure ongoing material and chemical restrictions adherence. This proactive approach will help you identify potential quality issues before they escalate, minimizing non-compliance risk.

Educate and train your staff:

Equip your team with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain compliance by providing regular training on relevant regulations and best practices. This investment will empower your employees to make informed decisions and uphold your company’s commitment to safe and responsible material use.

3. Failure to Meet Safety Standards

Enhancing Product Safety: A Comprehensive Guide to Compliance with International Standards

To protect consumers and maintain market access, ensuring your products comply with international safety standards such as the CE marking in Europe, UL listing in the USA, or SASO conformity in Saudi Arabia is crucial. Non-compliant products risk legal repercussions, recalls, and loss of market access. Here, we provide a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the complexities of product safety compliance.

Research and Understand Relevant Safety Standards:

Begin by thoroughly researching your product’s and target market’s appropriate safety standards. Familiarize yourself with the requirements and guidelines set forth by regulatory bodies, such as the European Union, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, or the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization. By understanding these requirements, you can make informed decisions about product design and manufacturing processes.

Develop and Implement a Comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS):

A well-designed QMS is essential for maintaining consistent product quality and ensuring compliance with safety standards. Implement a QMS focusing on continual improvement, emphasizing risk management, documentation, and corrective actions. This will help your organization identify and address potential issues before they escalate into more significant problems.

Collaborate with Accredited Third-Party Testing Labs:

Partner with reputable, accredited third-party testing labs to verify that your products meet the required safety and performance standards. Regular product testing and certification ensure your products consistently adhere to the specified regulations. In addition, third-party certification adds credibility to your brand and assures consumers, retailers, and regulatory authorities.

Train and Educate Your Workforce:

Empower your employees with the knowledge and skills required to maintain compliance with safety standards. Provide comprehensive training and education programs covering relevant regulations, internal QMS procedures, and best practices. An informed and skilled workforce ensures consistent product quality and compliance.

Keep Up-to-Date with Regulatory Changes:

Regulations and safety standards are subject to change over time. Stay informed about updates and revisions to ensure that your products remain compliant. Establish a system for monitoring and reviewing regulatory changes, and revise your QMS, product design, and manufacturing processes as needed.

4. Non-Compliant Packaging

Packaging plays a crucial role in product compliance, providing protection and information and contributing to a product’s overall sustainability. Common packaging compliance issues include incorrect dimensions, insufficient protection, and the use of non-compliant materials.

To achieve compliant packaging:

Consult local regulations for packaging requirements specific to your product and target market.

Work with experienced packaging suppliers that understand compliance requirements and can provide appropriate solutions.

Consider the environmental impact of your packaging and opt for sustainable materials whenever possible.

Packaging Inspection is an essential aspect of product compliance, as it safeguards the product, conveys critical information, and plays a vital role in its overall sustainability. To help you ensure that your packaging meets all requirements, we’ve outlined key steps to achieve compliant packaging that delivers value to you and your customers. This guide is designed to be NLP-friendly, making it accessible to a wide audience.

Provide Clear and Accurate Information: Ensure that your packaging communicates all required information, such as product ingredients, warnings, or usage instructions, clearly and concisely. This helps maintain compliance, fosters customer trust, and enhances the user experience.

Understand Local Regulations: Regulations vary based on product type, location, and industry. Staying informed on these regulations will help you avoid common compliance issues such as incorrect dimensions, insufficient protection, or using non-compliant materials.

Embrace Sustainability: Incorporate eco-friendly materials and practices into your packaging design whenever possible. This contributes to your product’s overall sustainability and appeals to environmentally-conscious consumers. Sustainable packaging materials can include recycled, biodegradable, or compostable options, depending on your product’s needs and the preferences of your target market

Regularly Review and Update: Compliance requirements can change over time. Stay up-to-date on any updates or amendments to local regulations, and be prepared to adjust your packaging accordingly. This proactive approach will help you maintain compliance and minimize any disruptions to your business.

5. Intellectual Property Infringements

Respecting intellectual property rights, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, is essential for maintaining a lawful and ethical business. Infringements can lead to legal disputes, financial penalties, and damage to your brand’s reputation.

To avoid IP issues:

Conduct thorough research before developing or sourcing a new product to ensure it does not infringe on existing intellectual property.

Seek advice from legal experts or intellectual property attorneys if you have concerns about potential infringement.

6. Insufficient Documentation and Record-Keeping

Effective documentation and record-keeping are crucial in showcasing your dedication to meeting regulatory requirements. Common pitfalls in documentation include incomplete or missing certificates, test reports, or declarations. Here’s how you should arrange your documents and record keeping.

Create a comprehensive inventory of essential documents: Compile a detailed list of required documents for each product, target market, and regulatory authority. This will streamline the process of gathering and organizing the necessary paperwork for product compliance.

Utilize a centralized document management system (DMS): Implement a DMS to efficiently store, monitor, and update all compliance-related documents in a single location. This will improve the organization and ensure easy access to vital information when needed.

Stay informed about evolving regulations: Regularly monitor changes in regulations and promptly update your documentation to stay in line with the latest requirements. Staying well-informed will help you maintain an accurate and up-to-date document repository.

Establish a systematic review process: Implement a routine review procedure to verify the accuracy and completeness of your documentation. This proactive approach will help identify gaps or discrepancies before they become significant issues.

7. Inadequate Quality Control and Inspection

Quality control and inspection play a crucial role in ensuring product compliance. Poor production processes and consistent product quality can lead to non-compliant products entering the market.

To establish effective quality control and inspection:

Implement strict quality control measures throughout the production process, including raw material inspection, in-process inspection, and final product inspection.

Conduct regular factory audits to assess your suppliers’ capabilities and adherence to compliance requirements.

Partner with reputable inspection companies to independently assess your products and processes.

Report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

On December 3rd, 2011, a group of young ex-military veterans, age 22-25, went on a therapeutic thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail after having a shared, traumatic tour in Afghanistan. As of January 26th, 2013, they have not been seen since.

Search parties were able to recover the ripped up remains of one of the veterans tents; a film camera with a single non-developed photo was found inside, along with 3 spent 9mm casings. The inside of the tent was stained with an unidentifiable black fluid, which seemed to be similar in properties to human blood. Victims presumed dead; evidence handed over to Optic Nerve agents for further inspection.

Gorilla Lope's 10th Birthday Party Footage from Gorilla Lope's 10th Birthday on the 3rd of January 2023. Gorilla Shufai comes out of the door first. He seems all excited and isn't quite sure where to go first. The left side window is still blocked because of a broken window. The staff has put out leaks, branches, hessian sacks with sent sprayed onto them and wood slices on a string with porridge in between. An orange mash, probably carrots got put all around the inside, the window and also some bits got thrown up the wall. Shufai walks and grabs the mash on the log and Asante finds the blob of mash on the window. Grandma Biddy got some leek. Then Lope appears and has a quick lick at the rest of the mash that his brother left behind. Then he climbs up and licks the bits of mash from the wall. Next, he takes some out of the bucket. There are some salad leaves and broccoli in there. A quick walk to get some water from the freshwater tab in the corner, picking something up from under the bucket and then climbing back up. Oumbi, the silverback and dad to the GoBros is out now as well and he quickly moves towards his mate Ozala stopping her from getting to the leak on the floor. Mother Gorilla Ozala backs off. It's the birthday boy's turn to inspect the toy with the porridge sandwiched between them. He bites into the disk and moves on without noticing the porridge. His dad is looking down below for some more food. When he sees Shufai in the back he quickly moves towards his son making sure he doesn't get anything he wants. He does a little dance not sure which direction to take. Shufai is standing on the log to get to the wooden disk with the porridge. Lope sitting in the background. Shufai nearly falls down but manages to hold on. He grabs the hessian sack, waves it in the air and moves on. Lope goes back to the disks. I was amazed he let his brother finish first. :-) He figured out how to pull them apart to get to the porridge. He stands up on the log to reach it easier. He looks at his brother by the bucket and then continues with the discs. Shufai gets out all the broccoli from the bucket. When he's gone Lope has a quick look at the bucket. Bites the rim, and gets a stick out. He goes back to drink some more in the corner. It has been miserable outside. Wet and cold. Lope has a look out of the window. He went outside when the rain stopped and found a leek which he eats by the window. A quick look through the window and then he walks back inside.

Use of IoT to Enable Oil & Gas Sector Achieve Operational Excellence

Having an impact on almost all the sectors within the global economy, crude oil is one of the most highly traded as well as valuable commodities in the world. Currently, it is an important source of both energy and fuel that act as the driving force for every known industry. It is due to it that today the oil and gas industry overall is the powerhouse industry that remains responsible solely for exploration as well as refining of crude. Now, such Exploration & Production companies and oil-field service providers, they use some heavy machinery pieces, including wellheads and the pumpjacks, for drilling fluid from the deep grounds.

Monitoring Pumpjack

As part of completion solutions, the pumpjack remains almost similar to the hand pump that is used for drilling fluids from the wells wherein the oil pressure isn’t high enough to force itself out onto the surface. Using a prime mover or the motor powers, walking beam, and the sucker rod, one can plunge out the oil through the well. However, still there exist varied complexities that remain associated with pumpjack working.

Pumpjacks remain prone to the rod and tubing wear or pump failure because of the pump-off conditions and the fluid pound on the rod string. It can drastically increase the operating expenses and also result in unplanned downtime.
