My teacher was the leader of this weird cult thing and I refused to be part of it. They tried to behead me, but failed miserably. I got so annoyed because of this that I said, “No, you have to do it like THIS,” took the weapon out of their hands, and beheaded myself.

This location sure brings back memories, huh? The way the billboards and lights at the nights while driving through Time Square. Even though me and my family weren’t plans to go the New York City itself. Just saying, but not bad to check this place out while on GT4.
Here comes Murukir Knight in burst mode; showing his new style while taking any opponents! Yeah! 😁✊
Rocking looks for 🐰🎀 Vanilla in her armor suit. Does match her style as she prepares for battle with her arsenal and weaponry. Cute, huh?
🐰🖌️Maxwell: Congrats of having yet another clothing to cover, you two. Though we might needed help for Howie to get out of this mess.
🐰👊💥May: Mhm. At least appreciate when owning this clothes for a meantime. Like the way when doing in pillow bed sizes. 🙂👍
(To Be Continued…)

April Showers Day
April Showers Day is observed every year on April 22. The holiday celebration revolves entirely around the changing of the seasons. Rainstorms that occur in the Northern Hemisphere during April, are known as April showers. Heavy rain downpours are common at this time due to the direction of the jet stream, which goes north and creates large depressions to bring rain and strong winds from the Atlantic Ocean. This occurrence is commemorated on April Showers Day when people look out for rain. The reason for April Showers Day being celebrated on April 22 is unknown.
HISTORY OF APRIL SHOWERS DAY
April Showers Day, unlike many other American holidays, was created by the online greeting card company 123greetings.com. However, the exact year that April Showers Day was established is unknown. The term “April Showers” is well-known in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It essentially describes the heavy and rapid rain showers that are typical of April weather in the northern hemisphere, particularly in the British Isles, and are caused by the jet stream’s northward movement.
Winter in the Northern Hemisphere lasts from the December solstice, which occurs on December 21 U.T.C., through the March equinox, which occurs on March 20 U.T.C. As temperatures rise in Western New York, the last bit of snow melts and turns to rain, igniting the beginnings of flowers and plants blooming in the area. The smallest possibility of rain in the U.K. this year falls between April 21 and April 27. The average sliding 31-day rainfall in April is also quite low, ranging from 1.3 to 1.8 inches (between 3.3 to 4.6 centimeters).
The saying “March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers” was first documented in English-speaking countries in 1886. And the shorter, trochaic variant “April showers bring May flowers,” originally “Sweet April showers/Do spring May flowers,” was part of a poem published in 1610. The phrase is mentioned in the General Prologue of “The Canterbury Tales.” So this April Showers Day, get out your umbrella and rain shoes and let’s stand outside to witness an amazing downpour — don’t forget your raincoat!

Begin by greeting guests with a spring-flowering umbrella, and serving cuisine that is appropriate for the spring season to your guests.
Get wet and dance in the rain: Check for April showers outside your window to celebrate. If that's the case, grab an umbrella or a raincoat or jacket and head outside to take advantage of them. Dance and have fun with your family, friends, or romantic partner.
Install a rain barrel: Help your younger sibling or child, if you have any, comprehend precipitation and water collection systems by using rainwater that falls on your roof. Before setting up your own rain barrel and using the collected water to tend to your garden or lawn, explain what rain barrels do, how they can improve the surrounding region, and what the water is used for.
5 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT RAIN
Māwsynrām: The wettest place on the planet is Māwsynrām, which is located in India's Meghalaya state.
Phantom rain: 'Phantom rain,' or ‘virga,’ refers to the droplets that evaporate before hitting the ground.
Smells like rain: Rain has a distinct odor, when raindrops land on clay or dusty soils, they trap microscopic air bubbles on the surface, which rise to the top and burst out of the droplet, resulting in the characteristic 'Petrichor' fragrance.
It’s kinda fast: A raindrop would take two minutes to reach the ground.
Raindrop shape: Raindrops take on a spherical shape when they initially develop high in the atmosphere; however, when they fall, their shape changes.
WHY WE LOVE APRIL SHOWERS DAY
It’s important for all things living: Rainfall is critical for the survival of plants, animals, and humans. It is responsible for bringing fresh water to the earth's surface. Water scarcity occurs when rainfall is low, which can lead to a drought-like situation.
Fresh water supply: The most significant advantage of rainfall is the redistribution of clean and fresh water throughout the water cycle. To support its continuous existence, the human body requires a consistent supply of fresh water, which is provided by an abundance of precipitation. Hence, freshwater is important for the sustenance of human life
Restoration of spring: The main reason for this is that flowers, in general, require a lot of sunlight and water to flourish, therefore April showers are necessary to kickstart the blossoming process after a long, cold, and snowy winter. So let’s welcome the rain and be thankful for all it does to help us survive!

Actually, so far as he could judge, the majority of people in Airstrip One were small, dark, and ill-favored. It was curious how that beetlelike type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes. It was the type that seemed to flourish best under the dominion of the Party.

80th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising: "The World Has to Know That We Did Not Go Like Lambs to the Slaughter."
April 19th, 1943 - May 16th, 1943
Warsaw, Poland
“The question is not why all the Jews did not fight, but how so many of them did. Tormented, beaten, starved, where did they find the strength, spiritual and physical, to resist?” – Elie Wiesel
In the morning of April 19th, 1943, on what would be the first night of Passover, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began. German troops and SS entered the ghetto to deport its surviving inhabitants to the death camps.
In the summer of 1942, as Jews living in the Warsaw ghetto were deported to Treblinka, reports that made their way back quickly made it clear that "resettlement" meant mass-murder. In response to this, Jews citizens in the ghetto began forming organized resistance forces; the Jewish Combat Organization (ŻOB) and the Jewish Military Union (ŻZW).
Following the January 1943 success of a smaller-scale resistance preventing a deportation attempt, an act that led to the suspension of such deportation efforts by the Nazis, the residents began to secretly build subterranean tunnels and shelters in preparation for a full-scale uprising.
Throughout April rumours swirled of a final deportation of the ghetto's remaining Jews. On the 18th it became clear that German forces, reinforced with artillery and tanks, were moving in to carry out their final action. The alarm was raised, and residents retreated to their underground shelters. They would remain here for the duration of the uprising, refusing to surrender themselves to deportation.
A group of around 700 Jewish resistance fighters, made up of the ŻOB and ŻZW and led by 24-year-old Mordechai Anilevitch, joined together to stage what would be their final stand against the Nazis. These brave young people were malnourished and lacked proper military training, they were equipped with nothing but poor-quality or even homemade weapons and their bare hands.
By contrast German forces numbered 2000, they were well-equipped and well-trained and had advanced knowledge of the existence of these resistance groups.
Despite this stark imbalance, on the first day of the uprising the ragtag Jewish fighters met the invaders head on and successfully forced the Nazis to retreat outside the city walls.
Amongst all of the chaos and destruction all around them, the Jews hiding in the tunnels and bunkers gathered together to celebrate Passover with what little they had, breaking homecooked matzah and drinking illicitly obtained wine.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising held strong for a full 27 days, coming to an end on May 16th, 1943. Unable to gain a full advantage, the Germans had resorted to burning the Warsaw Ghetto to the ground in an attempt flush out those in hiding so they could be rounded up.
In the months following the official end of the uprising some Jews remained hiding out in the rubble, periodically attacking German police on patrol.
This was the largest uprising by Jews during World War II and the first significant urban revolt against German occupation in Europe. It inspired many more uprisings, especially amongst Jews in camps and Ghettos.
