Me, seeing someone smile widely at their phone on the train: ah how sweet. They're probably in love and just got a message from their loved one.
Me, not 5 minutes later smiling like a dork at my own phone: ...... and it's Tumblr. It's a goddamn Alex Turner looking at Miles Kane gifset and a perfect set of tags typed out by a friend
(No, you are not getting any depressing conclusions here. The conclusion is: oh how lovely it is being a hyperfan 💛 Don't ever rob yourself of the pure, harmless excitement it brings)

[S] WV?: Rise up.
Storyboards: http://readmspa.org/storyboards/01801.swf.html
Song used: Skaian Skirmish by Andrew Huo and Toby Fox
Author commentary:
[S] WV?: Rise up is another big, splashy, game-changing animation. We get a megadose of worldbuilding when it comes to the Battlefield, which has been a fairly mysterious, neglected cosmological feature up until now. It evolves to become more complex with each player entry, and only begins resembling a planet on the third change. When it reaches planet form, that's when it finally serves as a viable stage for a major, global war between the two kingdoms. And remember that time is screwy for these game-construct settings. Once they come into being, it's as if they've always been. In other words, when the Battlefield turns into a planet, suddenly it's as if it has always been a planet and a war has been raging there for years.
0:26 - It's very fortunate for the peasants that their planet-sized chessboard is arable.
0:43 - In this big chess analogy, these guys are pawns, I guess. The analogy must be pretty loose though, because it doesn't seem like any of them are respecting the grid they're marching over at all.
0:49 - Yeah, I… I'm going to have to admit, this is where the chess analogy breaks down completely. This is just fucking Star Wars now.
0:52 - The big rook freak there is a brief glimpse of the cruelty and horrors of genetic engineering for the purposes of royal warfare.
0:59 - WV began life as a simple farmer. It's a small enough detail that I don't actually remember if he was a defector from the Derse army who started to farm, or if he began that way because for some reason the kingdom also supplies a stock of peasants to farm the land while a battle rages on. Either way, he's an extremely war-weary guy, and not happy at all that the nice, tall grass he was farming just burned down.
1:05 - The incineration of WV's can-themed farm is what triggers his hatred of kings and their warmongering tyranny. We knew he hated kings, and now we know why he hates kings. You can check this off your list now.
1:09 - Here's our first glimpse of a king. His scepter, rather than a magic ring, is what grants him the power of the prototypings. It also makes him huge, and thus a formidable opponent, and is why he's basically the final boss of any Sburb session, assuming the game goes how it's supposed to. Just like chess, obviously: you kill the king and you win.
1:12 - The scepter is a pretty special object. Aside from granting powers and size, it has Skaia itself sitting atop it. Not a mock Skaia, as an ornament, but the real Skaia, as a smaller instantiation of itself, currently contained within itself as a recursive construct. Flying into the Skaia on the scepter is exactly the same as flying into Skaia in the center of the Medium. You could then travel down to the Battlefield, find the king, and fly into Skaia all over again. But if you leave Skaia, you'd never fly out of the scepter. You'd always just fly out of Skaia. Got it? Imagine him using this as a weapon in the final battle. He swats one member of your party with it, and suddenly they find themselves all the way at the edge of Skaia, and they have to fly down to the Battlefield to rejoin the battle, wasting valuable time. It's a nasty end-boss move that can disrupt your tactics.
1:24 - Two things are brewing here. WV is organizing his mutiny by recruiting disaffected troops from both sides. Meanwhile, Jack is flying overhead, planning his massacre by sizing up all of WV's troops for a nice murder spree.
1:29 - Racism is over.
1:33 - This is all part of the White Queen's gambit. Hand off the ring and scepter to PM, so she can keep them safe, while WQ and WK get out of Dodge and meet on post-apocalyptic Earth to colonize it. She realizes this session is hopeless, and there's nothing much else to do but escape, start a new civilization, and blow up all the bridges between Earth and the session. It almost works!
1:38 - It's of some interest to note that PM is holding the scepter. Which means that wielding it, unlike wearing the ring, does not grant powers to just any carapacian. The scepter apparently only works its magic on kings. As Jack proves later though, you can still wield the scepter and utilize certain powers it has, like initiating the Reckoning.
1:42 - Sburb as an infinitely complex game of Silly Chess means it has a few loose parallels with the rules of chess. In chess, the king, while essential to keep alive, is a very weak piece. The scepter-bearing kings here obviously are very strong, so that's a departure. But one similarity is of a tactical nature. The kings here are still these slow, lumbering things of very limited tactical value. They stay on the Battlefield, don't cover a lot of ground, and are kind of sitting ducks when someone nasty like Jack flies along. Whereas queens have far greater tactical maneuverability. They generally stay on Derse, but can really go anywhere and can do a lot of damage, armed with their very powerful rings. But again, as in chess, they generally stay put for a while and are only deployed once strategy demands it.
1:52 - It's probably considered bad form by just about any other carapacian to think about destroying a king's scepter. That's not how a cleanly fought war is supposed to go. But Jack is designed to be a cheater.
1:55 - I wonder if WV is second-guessing why he was ever even mad at this guy. He looks like he could be a nice buddy, if they decided to bury the hatchet right here. Too bad it will be a moot point soon.
1:57 - Featured above: one of the worst fistbump malfunctions of all time.
1:58 - What would have happened if Jack hadn't intervened here? Would WV's insurrection have succeeded? There isn't much reason to believe WV's army would have defeated a giant prototyped king, so most likely Jack just saved WV's life. Sburb includes a lot of possibilities for making things interesting outside of its usual programmed path, which probably includes potential for little pawn guy mutinies like this now and then. But it wouldn't be much of a game if a bunch of pawns could take down the final boss before you ever meet him. The possibility of a Jack mutiny being successful, in which case he simply replaces the final boss, is a much more interesting way for the game to mix things up.
2:06 - I really have no idea how Jack crammed that crown on his head, over his jester prongs. Are those like…floppy? Did he bunch all the prongs together first, and feed them into the hat, before yanking it down for them to rip through the fabric? He also only has one arm to accomplish all this. It seems awkward. Whatever he did, WV sure wasn't thrilled about the spectacle.
2:10 - Then this scepter just stays here until [S] Descend. I can't for the life of me remember how it actually gets from this location to being in Jack's possession. Hang on while I flip ahead to the end of the book. Oh okay, it's CD. He picks it up and gives it to Jack. Of course he does. What a little scamp.

Re: emotions
Do you think there is a reason why?
Also, do psychoactive drugs change anything for you?
Do I think there’s a reason why? Hard to say. I can identify some aspects of my childhood that could seem responsible, in a Freudian sense, but then you have to decide whether Freudian psychology is a useful model or some serious bullshit. Back when I thought I was schizoid I read Harry Guntrip’s book about it and went “oh man, it me”, but that absolutely could’ve been the Barnum effect at work. More recently my sources of info about this stuff tend to be like Scott Alexander and other people who go “nurture is crap; it’s almost all nature”, so maybe it’s just my DNA.
Do psychoactive drugs change anything? Yes, but it takes a lot of them. It takes like 400ug of acid for me to have experiences that other people seem to have at 150, but it does work. At smaller doses I have a variety of interesting emotional landscapes and one time on a megadose I had a happy meltdown of loving kindness for all other living beings that was a genuinely incredible experience, but it didn’t really translate much into everyday life.

Let's talk about you and me, let's talk about RRE
Hahaha ok, association brain dumb music joke aside, my Same Brain ADHD buddy just made me aware of something called Recognition Responsive Euphoria, and LET me TELL YOU. I have some things to say about this now that I know it's a real concept. So RRE is literally the term for the opposite of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria— it's a sense of euphoric joy derived from praise or positive response. For example, you tell your crush a lame joke and are floating the rest of the day because they laughed, or you get the warm fuzzies being nominated by your coworkers for employee of the month. It's the dopamine rush you get for being recognized for what you do. As with many emotions with ADHD, this may be something everyone experiences sometimes, but for us it's EVERY time and always set at MAX POWER. Everyone gets worried about making a good impression or what their boss thinks of them sometimes, but the common ADHD experience is that we get straight up "headed for a panic attack", "clinical anxiety disorder", "paranoid behavior" worried about these things every day with everyone around us, and we experience the polar opposite at the same intensity with praise and validation.
I have BIG feelings about RRE and RSD. It's a THING for me, and it can be just as amazing as harmful. What I really wish people around me understood, is that while criticism is a standard part of learning and improvement for most people, it's really detrimental to me on pretty much any level. I know the point of constructive criticism is to make people aware of things they don't realize they're doing and to help them learn not to do those things that way, and I also understand that I am the odd one out in any situation and can't expect people to bend over backwards to adjust to me, so I usually end up feeling just as bad for my criticizer as I do for myself. Thing is, though.... I am the odd one out; I am already well aware of the details I'm getting wrong, and I'm already berating myself enough for the two of us in my head. I can see everything in microscopic detail already, and am desperate to follow the process to the letter because I think it's what you want. Constructive criticism doesn't do it for me, because unlike other people, I already know what I'm bad at and just don't know how to fix it. Only speaking up when you want to point out ways I can improve will only drive the wedge of anger and paranoia deeper into my head, and I'll grow to resent everything about my job.
On the flip side, I cannot be praised and validated enough. I bust my ass just to keep up with everyone, and I'm constantly focused on what I'm doing wrong. For me, gratuitous praise isn't an ego thing; it's the part I'm genuinely unaware of, like my coworkers are unaware of faults. Not only that, but I LIVE to serve others and make them happy. I get the biggest hit of endorphins from someone saying they like my idea, or laughing at my joke, or complimenting something I made for them. This hit of euphoria gives me a megadose of the chemicals I have trouble regulating daily, so it's like taking my meds. And you'd better believe, all that dopamine and serotonin is one hell of an addictive drug— tell me I did something right, and I will do it that exact way for the rest of my life just to chase the memory of your validation one time. This, again, makes me the odd one out in any group, because generally society sees constant praise seeking as a sign of unnecessary egoism and narcissism— think of the very common stereotype of the Adonis personality that has such an overinflated view of their own talents that they end up being really petty and selfish— and ignores the possibility that it could be a sign of lack of confidence, self esteem, and stable footing. I know this about society in general, and it puts me in the difficult spot of not wanting to speak up and explain myself for fear of being high maintenance— the commonly used criticism based way of teaching and coaching works well for everyone else, and it's not fair of me to expect everyone else to have to adapt to my praise based way.
All that rambling out there and over, TL;DR: if you're in a leadership/guidance/teaching role over someone, and no matter how much you try to show them what isn't working and how to fix it they just seem to be closing off and shutting you down even more, try going in the other direction. Trust me, you can't see it, but they are just as frustrated as you are. Try pointing out any little thing you can that you like about them, no strings attached, no "bullshit sandwich", just praise them for something full stop. If they suddenly start to bloom, now you know; there is no limit to how amazing they can be as long as you never stop building them up.

Season '86 Uppers and Downers
When winning is losing, too; so what, now?
Today's game brought me back to the favorite line of professors in Diliman campus: SO WHAT? My fearless forecast is that Taft will flood with glee because the kanal side of Katips is not ready to lose its high horse to win. Even so, winning and losing are the same in my book, and sanay ako pumusta sa patalo at patola school spirit, kaya push. :P Dad bashed me all throughout the day and I'm more than ready to see the end of this chapter. In fact, I'm closing this chapter because it has come to full and fuller circle.
More than watching the game live with people I am truly happy to spend my weekends with, the lessons and mistakes of this delulu chapter is kinda giving "Live Jesus in Our Hearts Forever" vibe. Hahahahaha. LOLOLOLLOL. So, let's give this a go shall we?
First, the bashing all the way is really entertaining. Probably, those that stood out most apart from my tatay na pakitong-kitong's crass calls like Cagulayan airball man, matatalinong bobo and matatapang ang apog are the following: (1) Baha sa Diliman ngayon with heart eye emojis (2) Hug kita, Bene. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Dapat sad ako kaso, hindi e. ROI na e lalo when I replied sa baha ng Diliman na: Okay lang. Dumanak din naman ng baha at uhog sa katapat e. Karnehan is real. Sa hug bit naman, as a topak-saltik-toyo girly: Hug with consent sooner? Nagreply naman, so good shit, siguro. I don't like beating around the bush. Derechohan talaga ang vibe ko. Yes or no? Go or stop? Push or pull? Super simple lang, so... abangan. :p
Second, while I detest my Taft tabi-tabi days, revisiting it at this time is really curious. I shared previously that I had a gala there late at night a week or so ago, and I realized that Taft is part of who I am and who I am not.
I remember the time when mother dragon slowly walked with the aid of her walker an hour before my student grantee interview. LOL. Shemay, mhie. Doon ko nadama na sobrang gapang lusak levels para sa dream niya for me, nanay ko. So graphic. She even told me that she needed one solid hour before the interview starts so that she can walk on her own. Feel na feel niya talaga 'yung entrance pa lang ng dream school niya for me. HAHAHAHAHA. TACCA, MA. TACCA TALAGA. Ugh.
I guess, it's one of her megadose milestones in her GBS era. When she faced the registrar who is pretty intimidating, she just shed a tiny tear as she bravely asked for a specific grant that surprised the registrar. Dad was an established bank employee so his pay slip is defying my mom's plea off the bat. Mom vehemently disagreed. She reasoned that while she knows the profile of the usual student grantees, I am a special case, an outlier. She enumerated her medical expenses which surprised me since she still has comprehension problems and spaced out memory.
She pushed it gentler and firmer when she shared that it's never her intention to make me an out of school youth and that she does not any other institution apart from this one. LOL. Siya pala OG fan girl e. She didn't wince as she shared that this is her going all out for her only daughter, her firstborn. She even said that I don't want to be housed in Taft tabi-tabi. HAHAHAHAHA. TACCA TALAGA, MA. She lambasted my Diliman dream and asked the registrar to put a stop to my madness dahil sayang daw ako if doon ako mapunta. I was actually at the brink of walking out because her savage levels are off the roof.
Mom even asked kindly if the registrar can give her me a go even when the reg already told her that the board will review and approve it. LOLOLLOLL. Humirit pa na isagad daw hanggang kaya. Gawaan daw ng paraan, paki usap. LOL. Taft life is tough. Taft tabi-tabi life is way tougher; but looking back, it had to happen to humble me and tame my wild child. LOL. LUH. I tried my best to be of use to the community but along the way, my sins are screaming scarlet. I'm not an A-student but I intentionally tried to get as much street smart lesson I can take in even when that means having only one full meal from early morning until midnight. May merienda and free food naman madalas as a volunteer, leader, utusan, rep, alalay, lahat na.
Third, winning and losing are the same because they are both end results. They are but a matter of timing, getting points, and luck, maybe. (Or baka lakas kapit levels is all the way to... chz) Both winning and losing are but consolation prizes especially for those who do it for the love (and hate) of the game.
Fourth, winning and losing are also not the same because one is euphoric and the other is graphic and may be traumatic or triggering, too. Hmm. Let me add a VICE VERSA here so it's more intentional. Winning and losing have highs and lows which depends on the lens that you pick and use. There's a triggering win and a euphoric loss. So, it's really up to you to choose your pleasure and pain.
Fifth, it's best to be with people who know what clean trash talk is. LOL. There's something so disgusting about personalan in line with asaran na good vibes. Games like these are bullies' paradise and the bullied ones concentration camp. SIGH. Thankful that I can have debriefs that are not condescending and creatively mean. ;)
Sixth, while I really want Ateneo and UP to fight or flight mode, this finals game is definitely meant to be. :) It is what it is and what it is not. Maroon and blue remain in me, but, iba e. The hunger of both Maroon and Green are really slamming hard. Sorry, but the way the graduating boys cried on screen is just to graphic, it's fucking fantastic. It's not even about the clever slant na poorest performance in 10 years. It's just not slaying it. Period. :p Numbers gaming na naman po para mukhang classy. LOL. Let's not go there, anymore.
Seventh, I will still get my NB 327 Burgundy in Japan. Periodt. It's a reminder that my inner child is healed and that my shoes are ready to take me to places that I've been sighing over lang.
Eighth, a small project that vanished into thin air years ago, knocked on my door again hours after the game. HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU. It's probably one of the side projects that I hustled hardest because it's close to home. ;) What I like about this second chance is that I don't usually give second chances to projects HOWEVER, the intent of the owner is so pure. Dalisay levels 100000000000000. So, eto na nga tayo.
For someone who is focused on slow growth era, totoo pala 'yun noh? It's not easy. It's so annoying. It's so constricting. It's immobilizing. Pero, it's a cup of iced matcha on a cold summer night stuck in fucking Manila with cinnamon, a bit of honey, silky soy milk and more vanilla with white chocolate. Aywaw. So, this long weekend, magsisiksik tayo ng time for year-end pasavogue na sabog aotm pero kasi, may magandang rason ako na hindi ko na need explain dito. :p Plus, extra-extra-extra effort sa projects na close to my maroon-dark blue hidden heart. Side hustles kasi are not distractions or escape. Maliban sa JaFunds and 2024 Super Southside Countdown, side hustles allow you to detoxify from your daily grind.
While I am grateful for my current post, I thrive in taking my weekends seriously. Think Haruki Murakami running to detoxify his writing grind. :D Ganun siya for me. Ganun lang. Bonus na lang talaga 'yung added funds which I am not saying sorry for because, 'wag ako. Fuck off. Not all people will get this line of thinking because growing up with limited resources makes one more open to opportunities that empower them not only sa finances, but all the more sa hunger and thirst nila for street smart tough cookie points. Always. 'Di kami fan ng legacy building kasi we are but made of stories that are lived and earned bit by bit. Wala kaming silver or golden or titanium platter, spoon, fork and knife. 'Yung legacy namin is bound by healing from our generational trauma. Pero syempre, I remember that apart from Jap, may Oz pa pala akong need itawid kasi Miles 'yun e. Sooooo, let's go all the way, okay?

nasty habits:
really not a fan of how my big "coping mechanisms" right now are
not sleeping (sleep deprivation can cause euphoria)
not eating (fasting can cause euphoria)
vaping (nicotine can help me feel #normal but only if i megadose it because i have malfunctioning nicotine receptor genes)
like i try to think of shit that makes me reliably happy and thats around it everything else is just so... i dunno. the joy got sucked out of it. i called my psych and left a message begging to get my meds refilled and she never called back.
i decided to measure myself for "fun" or whatever compelled me in the moment because i was measuring other stuff with a tape and the circumference of my body is less than 2 feet now. theres a nasty part of me that likes the feeling of "winning" or of beating my body's previous "high score" but i try so hard to suppress it.
the worst part is it's so easy for me because it feels really good to push through the initial hunger and exhaustion and start running on nothing but adrenaline. its exhilarating and the dizzy shaky feeling is so much better than feeling so miserable that im looking up tall buildings in my area and bridges with pedestrian access. and that is the only alternative.

The relative effect of an anabolic/androgenic steroid on product lipids is dependent on the dosage, route of management (dental vs. injectable), type of steroid (aromatisable or non- aromatisable), as well as level of resistance to hepatic metabolism. The use of oxymetholone need to be taken on just after careful factor to consider in people with high cholesterol or a familial background of heart problem. The judge went on to hold at, having thought about all the evidence, that the skilled group would certainly be "very likely" to have explored lower dosages than 25mg. The assumption of success, if appropriate at all, need to can be found in before making the decision on what the knowledgeable team would do.
If the skilled group had no assumption of success, that could be a reason they would certainly not undertake the action in concern. Yet having actually come to the conclusion that they would, it appears to me that the question has actually been responded to which there is no more demand to check out an expectation of success.

When used as component of a steroid cycle; it is most typically utilized during the cycle in small doses (commonly 10-20mg each day) to try and also prevent gynaecomastia. It is likewise used in post cycle therapy to aid bring back endogenous testosterone manufacturing. For this objective, one of the most usual protocol is 3-4 weeks of daily usage, beginning at 40mg per day in the first week and after that minimizing the dosage every week to 20 mg per day.

Thereafter, a break of 2 to 4 weeks was recommended prior to therapy was resumed. For physique-or performance-enhancing purposes, the medicine is likewise made use of periodically, with cycles typically lasting between 6 as well as 8 weeks in length adhered to by 6-8 weeks off. Although a reduced dose of 5 mg daily might work for enhancing efficiency, professional athletes normally take much higher amounts. An everyday dose of three to six 5 mg tablets (15-30 mg) is most typical, and generally generates very dramatic outcomes. Some venture even higher in dose, yet this technique typically causes an extra profound incidence of side effects, as well as is usually inhibited. Anabolic/androgenic steroids can have adverse effects on product cholesterol. This includes a propensity to decrease HDL cholesterolvalues as well as boost LDL cholesterol worths, which may move the HDL to LDL balance in an instructions that favours better danger of arteriosclerosis.
Insulin dosages can differ slightly amongst professional athletes, as well as are usually dependent upon elements like body weight, insulin sensitivity, task degree, diet regimen, as well as the use of various other drugs. Most customers pick to provide insulin promptly after a workout, which is the most opportunistic time of the day to use this medication. Among body builders, dosages of normal insulin (Humulin-R) utilized are typically in the series of 11U per extra pounds of lean bodyweight; 10IU is probably the most usual dose. This amount might be changed downward a little for users of the extra rapid-acting Humalog and also Novolog preparations, which offer a higher and also quicker peak effect.

That is the method which Jacob LJ took care of the concern in Actavis UK Ltd v Merck & Carbon monoxide Inc . At to he summed up the factor by positioning the concern whether the expectation of success had fallen so reduced that you would never start. Hence the judge relied upon the need to specify the degree of scientific result to be considered as relevant, i.e. the minimal reliable dose. The recognition of a dosage reaction as well as the identification of a minimum effective dosage are, nonetheless, various things. The requirement to complete the Stage IIb study as well as determine a dosage reaction does not include exercising a judgment regarding minimal efficient dosage.
Unlike formerly when even I obtained sunburns also after slight sunlight exposure, nowadays my skin is extremely immune to such issues.
As such, I'm happy knowing that I've relocated some action far from skin cancer.
To cut the long story short, I like everything concerning this item since it has offered my skin my desire tan.
Melanotan is a synthetic hormonal agent as well as is infused under the skin to encourage it to darken.
Females are warned of the powerful virilising impacts of anabolic/androgenic steroids, specifically with a strong androgen such as testosterone. These may include deepening of the voice, menstruation abnormalities, changes in skin appearance, facial hair development and clitoral enlargement. While huge doses are typically not encouraged, some bodybuilders have actually been understood to use excessively high dosages of this medicine. This was far more usual prior to the 1990's, when cypionatevialswere normally very low-cost as well as easy to find. At dosages of mg weekly or more water retention will likely represent even more of the added weight gain than new muscle tissue. The practice of "megadosing" mishandles, specifically when we think about the common high price of steroids today. Anabolic/androgenic steroids can have unhealthy impacts on serumcholesterol.
Utilizing The Net To Track The Acquisition Of Immoral Medicines: Melanotan Ii.
Cortisol sends out the contrary message to the muscles than testosterone, or to malfunction protein in the cell. Left unchecked by a low level of testosterone, cortisol can rapidly strip much of your new muscular tissue mass away. Protocols for the post-cycle use hCG usually ask for the administration of Systems every fourth or fifth day, taken for no more than 2 or 3 weeks. If made use of for too long, or at expensive a dose, the medicine might actually operate to desensitize theLeydig's cellstoluteinizing hormonal agent, further hindering a return to homeostasis.
Finally, the judge counted on the decision regarding what to do when faced with the plateau. There was ample proof to recommend that, much from being a valuation, investigating reduced doses was something the skilled team would certainly do without further thought. xi) Evaluating all this up, the results of the Phase IIb research would need the group to make valuation. Such an investigation would certainly not be quite as routine for the skilled team as the work which has gone before however that can not be taken too far. https://pol.melanotan.eu/ ranging research studies in general terms are something the competent team would certainly be familiar with as needed. x) The results of this study would certainly reveal that there was no difference in efficacy end point in between the dosages, showing an apparent healing plateau.
Can you inject Melanotan in your bum?
Injecting. This is not a deep injection and melanotan should be injected in the fat layer of the skin. You also need to consider your injection site, the most popular is the stomach, followed by the leg and buttocks. If sign up have a low body fat percentage you may have to inject at a 45 degree angle or use short needles.
Novice cautious individuals typically ignore bodyweight standards, as well as instead start at a reduced dosage with the intent of progressively developing to a regular dosage. For example, on the first day of insulin treatment one may start with a dosage as low as 2 IU. Each successive post-workout application this dose may be raised by 11U, until the customer determines a comfortable variety. Numerous feel this is much safer and much more customized to the individual than merely calculating and injecting a dose, as some locate they tolerate somewhat more or less insulin than weight standards would certainly determine. Professional athletes utilizing development hormonal agent particularly commonly have slightly higher insulin requirements, as HGH therapy is revealed to both reduced secretion of, and cause mobile resistance to, insulin. Females are cautioned of the possible virilising impacts of anabolic/androgenic steroids, specifically with a solid androgen such as testosterone.
These might include deepening of the voice, menstrual irregularities, adjustments in skin texture, facial hair development, and also clitoral augmentation. To treatandrogeninsufficiency, the recommending guidelines for Sustanon ® 250 require a dosage of 250 mg every 3 weeks. Although active in the body for a longer time, Sustanon ® 250 is normally infused every 7 to 10 days for muscle-building purposes. This routine will permit the higher doses most generally applied by athletes and also even more secure altitudes in hormone degree.
Existing protocols for the use of hCG in this fashion include providing 250lU subcutaneously twice each week throughout the size of the steroid cycle. Greater dosages may be required for some individuals, but at no factor should exceed 500lU per shot. Human Chorionic gonadotropin is often used with other drugs as part of an in-depthPost Cycle Therapy program concentrated on restoringendogenoustestosterone manufacturing a lot more quickly at the end of a steroid cycle. Bring back endogenous testosterone manufacturing is an unique worry at the conclusion of each cycle, a time when subnormalandrogenlevels can be very costly to the physique. The main issue is the action of cortisol, which in numerous means is cancelled by the impact of androgens.
He described that the claimed dosage of 5mg each day is considerably lower than the 50mg dosage defined in Daugan which would certainly be selected for the very first test of efficiency in Stage IIa. Neither does Mr Speck criticise his searching for that 5mg per day would certainly not be selected for the initial dosage ranging research study.
Why Do Individuals Pick Migration Professional?

♡💝💚 alfie and jacob
♡: who is the bigger romantic openly? secretly?
i think jacob is honestly on account of the fact that alfie has a hard time functioning as a Real Human Being. not that alfie can’t be romantic either, but his romantic tendencies are more practical. his love language is probably acts of service, so he’s apt to do favors for jacob and try to help him out however he can! even die for jacob if need be! i imagine jacob is more intimate in the sense that he’ll go out of his way to plan a little night where he makes them cheese toasties, and they’d just spend time together without any talk of (alfie’s) work or the fact that they’re a month behind on rent. jacob is the only person that can really comfort alfie and remind him to Breathe. so yea, i don’t imagine either of them doing crazy romantic gestures, but i do think the little things they do are very romantic.
💝: who spends more time (possibly overthinking) what presents to get the other?
i think alfie stresses over it a bit more because he’s a perfectionist and he considers it a high-risk situation because he wants to make jacob happy. he knows they don’t really share the same taste in things and he’d die if he gave jacob something he’d hate or find boring, so alfie will literally make a spreadsheet of possible gift ideas and score them in different ways to calculate the Perfect Gift? jacob probably whips out something sentimental and amazing without a second thought bc he knows alfie very well, which probably stresses alfie out even more….
💚: who tends to get sick more often? who is better at taking care of the other?
alfie because he works too hard and is always stressed, thus his immune system’s always taking a fucking beating. he’ll usually work through a cold or headache or whatever, but like i mentioned before jacob reminds him to Breathe (and Heal). jacob will literally force alfie away from his work, get him into bed and bring him tea or soup and you know, it’s one of the few times where jacob is being the grownup in the situation and he’s damn good at it. whenever jacob gets sick, alfie probably goes overboard with the different megadoses of vitamins he forces down jacob’s throat but trust me, he cares VERY much.

June Forecast for Gemini
Happy birthday season to you! With the Sun shining in Gemini until June 21, your personal goals and dreams get front-burner status. As you kick off another trip around the Sun, get clear about the people, commitments and projects you want to bring into your next year of life. What NEW experiences would you like to have? During this bold and assertive cycle, advocate for your desires. The squeaky wheel gets the premium-grade oil.
When the year’s only Gemini moon arrives on June 13, you’re ready for a full-on reset. This lunar lift is considered your personal new year—a moment to recalibrate and make sure everything you’re doing is aligned with the true you. So even though we’re halfway through 2018, you get a second chance to turn the page. If you’ve been putting off a big change or are uncertain about your next steps, the Gemini new moon can help point the way.
Father’s Day is on June 17, and if you’re celebrating, keep things flexible and fun. The moon is in Leo and your social third house, a great day for a lighthearted outing with your favorite father figure. With la luna in your communication sector, a handwritten card or an engaged conversation over lunch could be all you need to bond.
The next day, the tone shifts into a more reflective mood for the rest of the month. On June 18, imaginative Neptune turns retrograde, followed by energizer Mars on June 26. This will bring the total retrograde-planet count to five, as Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto have already been in their slowed-down cycles since the spring. Plans may proceed at a snail’s pace—if they don’t completely stall. While this feels like a setback, it’s actually an opportunity in disguise. Press pause on anything that’s moving too fast and use the summer to get clear on what you actually want!
While hazy Neptune reverses through Pisces and your tenth house of career from June 18 to November 24, your professional trajectory might take a more meandering path. Instead of freaking out, explore creative ideas and other options. Adopt a “summer sabbatical” mindset instead of spinning your wheels. These tips for embracing uncertainty can quiet any anxiety that surges up. Teetering on the verge of burnout? Ask for support or work with a coach. Leaning on compassionate and supportive authority figures can mitigate any rough patches—but be respectful of boundaries (which are NOT a Neptune strong suit) and make sure you’re not draining anyone or coming across as needy.
Since retrogrades rule the past, an old mentor or boss could resurface, someone nurturing and who always took a special interest in you or honored your talents. Reach out and reconnect. Maybe they’ll have a lead or some golden advice to offer during a confusing period. The tenth house rules men and fathers, and this could be a healing cycle with an important guy in your life.
On June 21, the Sun starts its monthlong journey through Cancer and your stabilizing second house. It will be easier to get grounded and prioritize, so don’t squander this productive cycle! Start taking action to make those birthday wishes into a tangible reality.
On June 26, go-getter Mars joins the retrograde brigade, back-spinning until August 27. Mars is in Aquarius and your expansive ninth house until August 12, then it will rear into Capricorn and your sector of long-term finance for the rest of the retrograde. Since May 16, the impatient planet has been pushing you to take risks, perhaps a little recklessly. The prospects have been too intriguing to turn down; yet, saying “yes” to everything could deplete your energy, and you’ll start to feel it at the end of June. Curb your enthusiasm and pick a couple key ventures to focus on.
Once Mars downshifts, be more discerning than impulsive. Leaping without looking can leave you with some messy cleanups that could be avoided. Be careful not to overpromise (because you’ll likely under-deliver). With brash Mars in this outspoken zone, pick your battles—even when you know someone is blatantly wrong. Honesty isn’t necessarily the best policy, at least not when you serve it up in a megadose of truth serum. Bite your tongue, or you could burn a valuable bridge.
But it will be hard to stem the tide of intense emotions that surge up the next day (June 28), when the Capricorn full moon illuminates your eighth house of intimacy and merging. Words you’ve been holding in could explode in a forceful outpouring of feelings. This might surprise you AND the other person. Pro tip: Call a trusted friend or therapist if you’re feeling on the verge, rather than melting down on someone you love.
The eighth house is the zone of extremes: You’re either all the way in or all the way out. And since full moons bring transitions, this make-it-or-break-it energy could provoke a big decision as the month ends. A joint venture might become official, or you may decide to part ways with a close romantic or business collaborator. Rites of passage are in the spotlight: From pregnancies to engagements to breakups to cohabitation, you could have some major news to break.
Long-range investments also fall under the eighth-house domain. At this full moon, a stock speculation or real estate bid could pay off. Joint ventures can also take flight. Merge your superpowers for mutual gain or look for ways you can create a win-win scenario with someone whose skills complement yours to a tee. Warning: This intense lunation could drive up jealousy, suspicion and competitiveness. Try not to let the emerald-eyed monster cloud your vision. There’s more than enough to go around, so ward off scarcity thinking and team up with an influential person. Together, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with!
Love & Romance
With amiable Venus in Cancer and your stability zone until June 13, you’ll be seeking things (and people!) that make you feel grounded and bring more sensuality to your life. Early in the month, the love planet forms a few galvanizing angles with heavyweight planets: On June 1, she trines expansive Jupiter, and the next day, mashes up with dreamy Neptune. Single Geminis will feel ready to stretch a bit out of your comfort zone, perhaps with an older or younger partner or someone who lives in another city.
Meanwhile, Venus’ other half, lusty Mars, is traveling through Aquarius and your liberated ninth house all month, creating a bit of dynamic tension because Venus seeks security and predictability while Mars makes you crave adventure. While this SOUNDS irreconcilable, it actually isn’t—but it may require you to change some of your definitions and expectations. It’s possible to feel free and have fun while still being monogamous with a loving partner. But you’ll need to discuss ground rules, namely what is and isn’t permissible. Single? Make that part of your opening gambit: Screen people thoroughly to weed out clingy, needy or untrusting types.
Note that Mars will be retrograde from June 26 to August 27, so that great expedition might not happen during that time. But if you’re getting itchy feet, there’s plenty you can do close to home to expand your horizons. How about an online or in-person course on something that’s always fascinated you, like gourmet baking or woodworking? Or check out events at Meetups or cultural centers where like-minded and eligible people might also be.
On June 13, Venus swings into dramatic Leo and your playful third house until July 9, spicing up the action on the local scene and, at the same time, making you crave variety. Become a regular on the music circuit or find a place to read your work in a public setting—scanning the audience for intriguing faces, of course. Ask friends to introduce you to their pals, or just keep a wide-open mind about newer faces in the outer rings of your inner circle.
One “caveat” is that Venus will butt heads with a few brash and independent planets in the second half of June, which could disrupt something that’s getting off to a sweet start. On June 14, she squares off unpredictable Uranus, which could explain why someone rudely and unexpectedly ghosts you. Then, on June 21 she opposes competitive Mars and, four days later, clashes with hedonistic Jupiter. You might experience all this as other person’s behavior, but have a look in the mirror, too. The temptation to stray or seek unhealthy excitement may be coming from you and you alone.
The Capricorn full moon in your eighth house of intimacy and merging on June 28 could bring a make-or-break moment. Search your soul before then, so if push does come to shove, you know what your heart truly desires—and you don’t just fall into lockstep with someone else. If you aren’t ready to either go all in OR cut bait, try to deepen the connection and then see how that feels.
Key Dates
June 2: Venus-Neptune Trine The hits keep coming! Today’s loving embrace of Venus and enchantress Neptune dials up your compassion and capacity for empathy. One of the nicest things you can do for someone you care about is to just listen and not try to “solve” or “fix” anything.
Money & Career
You’ve got the gift of gab most days, Gemini, but in the first half of June, you’ll experience a few of your finest hours. Not only is the Sun visiting your sign until June 21 (#GeminiSeason), but your ruling planet, clever Mercury, is also here until June 12, followed by a galvanizing Gemini new moon on June 13. With all this action in your assertive first house, you’ll feel confident speaking up for your needs and sharing your trailblazing ideas. If you haven’t already achieved influencer status, prepare to be anointed!
This is even more likely since ambitious Mars is blazing through Aquarius and your visionary ninth house from May 16 to August 12, inspiring you to branch out of your comfort zone. Travel, study and entrepreneurship are hot zones for you, and you’ll leap at any chance to broaden your horizons. Just note that Mars will turn retrograde from June 26 to August 27, so any major moves, such as pursuing a university degree or opening a new business, are best postponed until fall. Take baby steps and do behind-the-scenes work in the meantime. Retrogrades are ideal for research and planning, not implementation.
On top of that, hazy Neptune will be retrograde in your tenth house of career from June 18 to November 24, an annual reversal that can make you question your purpose and rethink aspects of your professional path. Things may not come together as smoothly as you hoped; circuitous Neptune could turn a normally sensible boss into a neurotic crazymaker. Contracts and clear answers may also elude you. Take a deep breath and go with the flow. Karmic Neptune may have a greater plan—it’s just not one you can see yet.
Have you been giving too much at the office? Neptune is the planet of sacrifice, yet when it’s retrograde, that influence weakens. This can be a GOOD thing—a reminder to snap out of the martyr mindset at work. If you have unused vacation days racked up, take them now. Statistics show that only 23 percent of Americans use all their vacation time—and most take less than half!
A sobering moment arrives on June 27, when the Sun opposes structured Saturn, a once-a-year face-off that can drive up pessimism and self-doubt. The Sun and Saturn are in your financial houses, which could put a temporary crimp in your budget or force you to scale back your spending. A work project might be tough and demanding—perhaps you feel that you’re being taken for granted or dumped on. Saturn rules boundaries, and you may need to set some clear ones, even if it feels uncomfortable (and it probably will).
The June 28 Capricorn full moon could bring your consolation prize. Falling in your eighth house of lump sums and joint ventures, la luna might firm up a lucrative collaboration or put you in the presence of power players. If you’ve been waiting for word on a legal, financial or real estate matter, this full moon can deliver. You may also send out a significant payment, perhaps for taxes or debt. Make sure you’re maximizing your money instead of, say, just paying down interest and not actually chipping away at the principal on a loan. Talk to a financial planner to help you plan for long-term saving, solvency and investing. Whether you’re awash in prosperity or just squeaking by, it’s never too soon (or too late) to start making your money work harder for you.
Key Dates
June 27: Sun-Saturn Opposition It’s financial reality-check time! Serious, structured Saturn sends a tough-love beam to the optimistic Sun, shedding undeniable light on where you’ve miscalculated monetarily. It’s discouraging, yet also important to know that, with some new fiscal responsibility, you can pay down debt and start saving for those desired big purchases.

Supergirl: Kara and Lena Finally Reunite
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
This SUPERGIRL article contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 13, “The Gauntlet.”
Supergirl Season 6 Episode 13
Supergirl thankfully gives the totem quest some structure (seven total, in a specific order) and rules (they must be activated before use and a person has to pass a test in order to control them) and gives the audience the quick and dirty exposition, courtesy of Brainy. Meanwhile, Kara welcomes Lena back with open arms and they pretty much immediately become a totem-chasing, emotionally supportive, crime-fighting duo.
A premise like this one, which makes characters we know and love go a bit wonky but along some specific rule, is at its most effective when it illuminates character. Unleashing a fifth dimensional-level of courage on everyone who was nearby when Kara split the totem before Nyxly split from her heist is a way to shake things up while mostly focusing on the Super Friends. While Kara later states most of what the courage totem is up to outright, there’s still at least some subtext for fans to play with and enjoy. J’onn J’onzz becomes an even prouder surrogate dad, and Alex is ready to take on dragons. It is by knowing this team so well that the writers were able to come up fun riffs on their personalities.
Lena and Kara are finally back together in a meaningful way, and their arcs are inherently intertwined. Lena has always played her cards close to her vest, so not being ready to share about her magical bloodline makes a lot of sense, especially considering how deeply she needs there to be science grounding witchcraft. On one level, the first totem functions as an episode-length proof for Lena that magic is real and beyond scientific understanding. Bringing another witch into the picture, whether through her preserved memory in the Fortress of Solitude or with her fun possession of Brainy was a great move for both Lena’s arc and the overall driving force of the episode.
Whether you see them as best friends or potential/secret girlfriends, this show was overdue for Lena and Kara to catch up with one another. Their hang out at the end of the episode was satisfying because we saw Lena coming to grips with her lineage and birthright in small moments throughout. There’s also something compelling about the fact that Lena was forced to believe in magic because she needs it to help Supergirl, and she doesn’t want to let her down. One could say Kara made the most courageous choice of all by giving up the totem in order to save everyone. And if anybody sees Kara it’s Lena, who then decided she needed to do everything she could to help Kara. Or as Kara put it: “Do you really not believe in magic?” “I believe in you.”
The trial to earn the totem has the benefit of letting the audience re-live Supergirl’s past, something we’re all too happy to do during a series’ final season. It’s a neat little narrative trick that makes them feel a bit more worth it, so long as we don’t have to spend quite so much time on their rapid-fire, overwrought mythology. It’s also a more interesting obstacle than having Supergirl and Nyxly battle each week. Instead, Kara has to relive her past and look inward. If she’s going to succeed, she’ll need more support like she got from Lena this week, helping her talk through the trials to figure out what they mean and how she’s being tested.
It’s worth noting that Alex and Kelly had some lovely moments, including the fact that they’re clearly continuing to talk about racial injustice, with Kelly processes everything that’s happening and Alex supporting her and holding space for her. It’s good to see that Supergirl isn’t treating the issue like a one-off Very Special Episode, but rather an ongoing issue in both of their lives.
William’s presence here feels…fine. It’s unclear where the show is going with the CatCo/Andrea/William angle, and why they’re devoting precious scenes to it during the show’s final season. It’s often the least connected to the rest of the story, and doesn’t necessarily seem to be going somewhere overall. William suffering from the trauma of being shot by Eve Tessmacher was an interesting take on the megadose of courage, but again, it’s unclear why we should care about him every three or four episodes when we see him. Maybe being embedded with the Super Friends will help with that?
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
This episode more than others this season has planted seeds that feel like they will grow meaningfully over the course of the remaining episodes. The fifth dimensional witch mentions that the artifacts have an effect on the cultures that grow up around them, a small detail that didn’t come up in this episode, but could be interesting at some point during one of the next six totems. Nia’s extremely deep dream state hopefully taught her more about navigating her gifts. The fact that Kara failed but is hopeful, possibly due to the tough choice she made outside of the test itself or the support of the Super Friends. Finally, we still don’t know what Lena’s full magical capability looks like, especially once she starts believing in herself.

Reasons Your Kids Need Vitamins
Every parent wants the best for their child's wellbeing, and consuming a safe, well-balanced diet for growth and development is so critical. But let's be truthful, how many of our kids are really doing it, if ever?
It may be a struggle to get your kid to cleanse their palate with nutrient-rich foods consistently. And if you've got a picky eater on your side it's totally unlikely! For most healthy children who develop naturally, multivitamins aren't required.
Foods are the next strongest nutrition source. Daily meals and snacks will provide all the nutrition that most preschoolers need.
Although picky eaters like several young people, it doesn't always imply they have nutritional deficiencies. Many popular foods are fortified with major nutrients, such as B vitamins , vitamin D, calcium and iron, like breakfast cereal, milk and orange juice. That way, your child can get more vitamins and minerals than you expect.
Multivitamins, however, are not without any dangers. Vitamin and mineral Megadoses may be harmful. Additionally, certain vitamins and minerals might interfere with drugs your child could be taking.
If you are worried about your child having the recommended amount of vitamins and minerals, speak to your child's doctor. For your kid, a multivitamin may be helpful if he or she:
Has a physical and behavioral growth delay (failure to prosper)
Does have some underlying conditions or reactions to food
Regardless of the eating habits of your child, a multivitamin is a tried and true way to ensure that they get enough of the essential vitamins and minerals they require every day. Unconvinced? Here are the explanations why children might profit from taking a multivitamin:
Strong bones:
Kid Vitamins such as ours that provide calcium and vitamin D provide children with the primary mineral (calcium) required for healthy bones and pearly whites, and an appropriate vitamin (D) to help their developing bodies absorb calcium. During early childhood and adolescence, when much of an individual's bone mass is created, having enough of this vitamin-mineral combination is particularly necessary.
Establish good routines early on:
Regular vitamin and mineral replenishment is important for health and longevity, and this is particularly valid in children's increasing, evolving everyday bodies. Children who grow up taking their vitamins regularly are far more likely to maintain this good habit through adulthood.
When to give supplements?
Children who adopt vegetarian or vegan diets which require vitamin B12 supplements, since it is only present in animal-based foods. Children who have celiac disorder are at greater risk and will require medication for dietary deficiency. In addition, a supplement could be needed for children who have a low appetite, consume a ton of sugar-sweetened drinks, take some drugs or have underlying medical problems that conflict with consumption.
Happy, safe kids:
In our children's multis, vitamins such as A, C , D and E are basics, and each of them is so essential to promoting immune function during the year. * Multivitamins will lead to antioxidant protection and help maintain your child's immune system safe and fortified. Vitamin D, vitamin A and B vitamins are the other vitamins of importance. Vitamin D governs calcium synthesis and assists in the growth of bones and teeth. After exposure to the sunshine, vitamin D is developed in the body and contains in certain foods, including fortified dairy and dairy substitutes, egg yolks and fish oil. In order to fulfill the prescribed levels, children who eat fewer than 32 ounces of vitamin D-fortified milk or dairy substitutes a day will require a supplement.
Vitamin supplementation may be prescribed for picky eaters, children with a health condition that prevents nutrient absorption or raises nutritional requirements, or those adopting a vegetarian or vegan diet. Be sure to select good quality products that provide sufficient amounts for children while supplying vitamins to children.

The Pyro Update, Day Two: Meet the Pyro
Day One [Not actually yesterday in-universe]
My first major fanfic, UtD
My actual original writing
Next Part
June 27, 1968; Location unknown.
"Tell me about yourself, mister..... Pyro."
"Nobody else would hire me because of my mental 'health'."
The two were sat in a dark room for an interview. The Director for TF Industries' promotional 'Meet the Team' series- who had been to Ludwig's office four days prior- and the Pyro itself, sat with its face shrouded in the shadow. Miss Pauling insisted for it that the Director interview it without actually being able to see it.
"Ah.. Yes, of course, that... What were you... WANTING to do for a job?" the Director said. He was already writing on his notepad to scrap the footage that was being made at the time.
Pyro narrowed its eyes. "Chemistry. College doesn't turn down tuition if you're 'mentally unstable', unlike employers. Doesn't change that I wasted six years in it."
The Director nodded slowly. "Right... I know the feeling." he murmured, whilst writing 'unrelatable' on a bullet point. "Why did you go after that field?"
There was a *clunk* sound as the pyro set a lighter on the table abruptly. The thing was engraved with its emblem- a flame on a Mann Co. orange background- on the front. "I'm a pyromaniac. That's been established." it said. "A chemist knows how to handle flammable materials safely, and is trusted not to let fire or the like get out of hand. I even acted as a consultant for safety measures in the Badlands- telling my boss tips for fireproofing the various battlefields out here."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..." the Director repeated. While the lighter startled him for a moment, he was spacing out, ignoring most of what Pyro said. 'Lacks charisma', 'Boring life story', 'Spin as a movie monster of sorts for the edited cut'... Those and other things were what he was writing down.
Pyro shrugged, glancing off to the side as it pocketed the lighter. "I'm told there were weekly building fires before the last Pyro retired. 'You have BIG boots to fill', the boss said."
"He's not listenin', luv."
Pyro blinked a couple of times, shaking its head and putting a hand to the side of it.
The Director scooted his chair back a little, turning slightly to be ready to jump up. "Is.... Is something wrong?"
Pyro winced, squinching its eyes shut. "Nothing, nothing... My medication must not've kicked in fully just yet."
"Ah.." the Director replied, narrowing his eyes slightly, glancing at his watch. "Well, funny you say that, we seem to be out of time for the interview..."
Pyro glanced over at him, before reaching for its mask. "....Right...." it murmured, pulling the rubberized mask back on and standing up. "That wasn't very long..."
The Director stood up as well, waving his free hand and chuckling as he quickly flipped the notebook shut with the other. "Oh well, it happens- the film is quite expensive, you see, and the Scout made us use quite a lot."
Pyro narrowed its eyes behind its mask. "...I can imagine."
He clapped. "Yes, exactly! But there's no need to imagine, since that's exactly what happened!" he said, motioning for the Pyro to leave as he called over his shoulder. "NEXT!"
Pyro winced at the loud shout, before skulking out of the room as the Demoman drunkenly stumbled in.
"Och man, there's no need to bloody shout.. It's me eye that's out, not my ears..." Tavish murmured as the Pyro stepped out of the room, closing the door.
"...How did interview go?" Heavy asked after a moment, sat in a line with the other four mercs.
Pyro looked over at them. The Engineer, Medic, Sniper and Spy, since the Scout and Soldier had already been in with the Director.
"You can't possibly think they care."
Pyro closed its eyes for a moment, before opening them and staring between the five, before simply shrugging and walking down the hall.
The Engineer crossed his arms. "Ain't much for words, are they..." he said under his breath.
"Apparently not..." Heavy replied.
"Words tend to get'cha killed in this profession." Sniper mused.
"That would explain why you stay so far from the fight." the Spy quipped, putting out a cigarette in the ashtray he'd pulled over.
Pyro sat outside the building with its hands to its head, groaning slightly. It wasn't daring to open its eyes, for what it knew it'd see- a recurring hallucination that tended to force itself through any normal dose of medication Pyro took: Balloonicorn, as it called itself.
"Y'know they don't want you around, luv." he said, his 'voice' being vaguely Brittish-American in accent. "The boss lady just has you on the team for completion's sake."
Pyro glared up at him. "Shut up you alcoholic piece of shit!" it spat.
Balloonicorn giggled. It sounded like two rubber balloons rubbing against each other cartoonishly... "You're only tellin' me to can it 'cause you know I'm right..."
"Pauling likes having me around! I don't care about the rest of the team!"
Balloonicorn 'blinked'. "I didn't mean her, luv. I mean her boss. That 'administrator' woman."
Pyro kept its glare for a few moments, before closing its eyes tight again and looking back down.
"She's the only one here who's gotten to see your face, but not the other way around... Wouldn't that be concerning at all?"
"I said shut up. I can't lose out on this job too."
"What?"
Pyro winced, slowly looking up.
The scout was standing there watching it, unnerved. He'd just walked out the nearby door, shortly followed by the Soldier, then the Heavy.
Pyro looked over at Balloonicorn, who just giggled again, then back to Scout. After a moment, it just shook its head, getting up to walk back to the main building of the RED base.
"Heyyyyyy, Pyro..." Miss Pauling said. Pyro was entering a private room they met in every morning and evening, before and after work. "Glad you got here on time. You looked a bit distracted on your way out from talking with him..."
Pyro nodded, pulling off its mask and glancing around the room. One of the few places in the Badlands not covered in security cameras. "Yeah, he was bothering me again..."
Pauling sat down, putting her hands together and thinking for a moment. "...The unicorn thing?"
"Yes, that one."
She sighed. "I'll see if I can negotiate any sort of pay rise so you can get better medication for that, along with your other expenses..." she muttered. "It might require you doing a new job I just got in for me, though."
"Oh?" Pyro said, raising a brow.
"Yes, a new job." Pauling replied, setting her hands on the table and sitting up straight. "You see, the Administrator is going to have an interview with the Director herself, in a few days." she said, emphasizing 'interview' as much as she could.
"Interview...?" Pyro asked.
"Yes, an interview. It'll be in the Dustbowl mines, and she won't be going there herself. She's set up some 'information' for me to 'meet' the Director with there, in her place."
Pyro blinked, shrugging in confusion. Balloonicorn nudged its cheek with his horn. "They're gonna bloody murder the bloke, luv." he whispered.
Pyro perked up at the sound. "Oh! Interview! I get it now." it said, nodding quickly.
Pauling chuckled. "I was hoping you would. I have a Derringer I can use, but my hands have been really shaky recently. I'd probably miss the first shot or have him spot it soon enough to scream for help."
Pyro snorted. "Shaky hands? But you've done this plenty of times before..."
Pauling's eyes darted side to side, and she took a deep breath, relaxing in her seat. "...I've been taking Vitamin D supplements to combat my depression. Work-related, as you can imagine." she said. "My hands have been shaking, it's been harder to lift things and push heavy doors open... Oh yeah, and I've been vomiting now and then. Just did before coming in here."
Pyro shivered slightly. "...Maybe you should... Stop taking it, then..."
Pauling clapped her hands together, putting on a fake grin. "Oh, I considered it! These 'megadoses' are probably the cause. But the Administrator won't let me take more than one day off, so I can't visit the doctor to see HOW much I should cut the dosage down by."
"Sounds pleasant..."
"There's no need for sarcasm- it's anything but."
"Trust me, I know what faulty dosage is like."
"Yeah, you told me about 'the incident'."
Pyro nodded slowly, idly swatting a hand at Balloonicorn. Pauling looked over as it did, but decided not to say anything. "...Yes. I'm not happy about having to take Medic's help for that."
Pauling shrugged. "Oh well... I'll call BLU's pyro off work for the day I scheduled the 'interview', and let you know when we'll be headed out there." she said. "You'll have to get there ahead of us though- he'll know something's up if you ride along in the truck."
"Right. Am I allowed to ask why?"
"Judging by the notes we watched him take in his interviews about you, you won't need to know the Administrator's reasoning. Let's just say he's an idiot that doesn't know what his job is for, and she wants that to never change."
Pyro nodded slowly, standing up and pulling out a pill bottle. "Guess I'll be there to help you when I need to be, then."
Pauling smiled, clasping her hands together and standing up. "I'll call us even for the month, then. Not that I need to be paid back for this part of the job."
They both nodded in agreement, and pyro stepped out of the room, quickly pulling its mask back on after taking one of the pills. Balloonicorn, who had been pleading for it not to, slowly faded from existence once again.
The next few days went by quietly, until Pauling sat Pyro down with its weapons on the table, rather than the supply locker at the RED team's side of a battleground.
"Several of the other mercs went missing today." Pauling said. "Well, not missing, but they're insisting to take the day off for some 'business' they have to take care of together."
"What specific business?"
"The Administrator says one of my coworkers has been captured- thank Christ she sends me out on assassination jobs rather than being a messenger." she explained. Her breathing was fast and strained, and she was resting her forehead on one of her hands. "The Director's waiting in a truck outside. I'll take a scenic route- you know where to go."
Pyro nodded, picking up its weapons and setting them in the three holsters on its suit- a flame thrower, a modified flare gun, and 'The Powerjack'- a sledgehammer designed by Mann Co. to help one sprint faster by using its weight for momentum, and fuel their adrenaline by using it as a weapon. Its head was a car battery, and its handle was a tire jack...
"Will I have a ride, or..."
"You'll have to go on foot, sorry. The Administrator wants a low profile on this job, and two vehicles going to what's gonna be a murder site will look suspicious."
Pyro cleared its throat. "Off we go th-"
Pauling put up a hand. "Wait, wait, there's one thing I forgot.." she said, standing up. "Something you'll have to watch first."
Pyro turned its head to the side. "..And that is...?"
Pauling took Pyro by the wrist, handing its mask to it and leading it out the door. "This way..." she muttered. "They gave us the public cuts of the Meet the Team series, and... Well, the other eight parts are passable, but you might not like yours."
Pyro took a deep breath, pulling the mask on loosely to cover its head for the moment, but ready to take back off when needed. "Should've guessed..."
"Yeah, it's... A disaster. We told the man to make you guys look not like a bunch of psychos, but he basically took.... Liberties."
Pauling stepped into a back room with a TV set up and idle. She led Pyro to a chair, before going to put a tape in the VHS player.
Pyro furrowed its brow. The video opened with a menacing shot of the Pyro walking with its axe in hand. "I wasn't trying to be intimidating there, I-"
"I fear no man, but that thing...... It scares me." came the Heavy's voice, leaning in to the camera for emphasis during his interview.
"No, I ain't- I ain't talkin' about that freak, alright?" Scout's voice started during footage of the BLU team running from Pyro. In person, Pyro had seen it as a group of whimsical cupids running away to play tag. Subconsciously, it always knew what was really happening, but tried its damndest to just go along with its schizophrenic hallucinations when doing... Its job.
"He's not here, is he?" Scout said, fiddling with a microphone he'd been given and complaining about it.
"...I hadn't gotten to the site for the interviews just yet." Pyro muttered. Pauling nodded.
There was a brief clip of Pyro bursting into a barn with its flamethrower. It saw it as a sad, gloomy cottage in need of some 'rainbows and sunshine' to brighten it up, at the time. Like the rest of that street in Teufort, it was condemned, with the BLU team sent in unarmed to take on Pyro- all for cinematic effect.
"One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask..." Spy mused, staring down a lit cigarette, before a show of the Pyro incinerating a multitude of buildings.
It looked over in a slight panic. "But I thought.."
"What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty...?"
His voice trailed off for a series of footage showing the pyro destroying the disheveled area of Teufort in fire and flame. Pyro quivered in its seat. "..I thought it was just..."
"Don't worry, the buildings were condemned..." Pauling reassured. "I know the Director's using it to make you look bad, but you did us a big favor with the 'demolition' job there..."
Pyro nodded slowly, breathing shakily as the video cut to the Soldier. "You can't even fight it unless you have bullets! That flamethrower can turn around rockets, throw grenades back at their launchers- if you charge it with a melee weapon it just launches YOU through the air then sets you ablaze!"
Then the Sniper. "A professional's worst nightmare. Bloke like me works years to hone their skills to perfection, then a lunatic with a bloodlust comes along and boom, there goes your job."
Pyro took a deep breath, narrowing its eyes under its mask. As the Sniper spoke, there was a clip of the Pyro sprinting at BLU's Heavy, kicking him to the ground, and splitting his head with an axe- censored by its body. Then punching their Scout to disorient him, and killing him with a modified flare to the face.
"Zere is something foul in zat soul..." the RED Medic said, whilst Pyro chased the BLU Medic into a burning building, and blocked the doors shut by jamming the handles with its axe. "I vould be ashamed of myself if I were to leave it to a different doctor..."
Pyro was shaking in its seat as the Engineer and Demoman voiced their concerns about it being around. The whole thing advertised the Pyro as some sort of monster- not a human in any way. To say Pyro was getting angry was an understatement.
As the video ended with Pyro burning BLU's Sniper alive, Pauling quickly stepped over to stop and eject the VHS tape. She shivered slightly as she glanced back over to it. "I'll assume the point's been made..."
Pyro slowly stood up. "I'm going to need an axe, not a hammer." it said.
Pauling smiled uneasily. "Of course! Why would I think of giving you a bludgeoning tool- sharp force trauma's always had more uses..." she said, setting the tape on a shelf and quickly making her way out of the room.
Pyro changed its weaponry on the way out, and Pauling chatted with the Director as a momentary distraction before they drove off. Roughly an hour later, Pauling was sending the Director in, and speaking with the Administrator over a brick-model cell phone.
"Ooh, perfect. STAND ON THOSE! I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!" she'd just called in. The Director nonchalantly shuffled onto a set of white tarps that'd been set up in the cave for easy cleanup.
"What the hell is all this for... If the cave is for the supposed 'accoustics', this would ruin it." he muttered, before seizing up at a light clapping sound.
"Miss Helen...?" he said, slowly turning around- before gasping, going pale in the face.
Pyro was stalking up to him, adjusting a fire axe in its grip. "I saw your glorified 'commercial' for me..." it hissed. "Miss Pauling offered me the Director's cut."
Pauling winced outside as the Director screamed, shortly before gargled sounds of him choking that quickly quieted down and stopped echoing from in the mine. "Ugh, I told him to be quiet about it... Whatever, nobody's around.." she muttered, shaking her head and carrying a bag of quicklime and a shovel inside.

we’re trying the vegan thing again, with better nutritional support than last time, so we should be able to avoid the failure to thrive issues we hit last time.
last time, we didn’t know that our body is very bad at absorbing certain vitamins and that we had a chronic deficiency that we can only manage by taking megadoses of them daily. this is likely due to either intestinal damage from gluten intolerance or intestinal damage from the pesticides used on wheat (we read an interesting study recently that’s led to us wanting to try organic wheat products to see what happens).
being gluten-free for years has not done enough to heal our body, or to let it heal, that we don’t need the megadoses, and they need to be monitored twice a year along with our regular blood work, regardless of diet. one of those things is B12 - we take over 40,000% the RDA every day. yes, forty thousand. 5000iu of D3. a multivitamin, biotin, magnesium. also an EFA supplement. 
protein is being handled; nothing to worry about there, so that covers the two things people usually worry about the most.
because we have quite a bit of it left, we decided we will finish the fish oil that we have, because it’s quite a lot of money to throw out with our budget, so that’s the one exception (we talked this over a bit with someone because we felt guilty about it, honestly). we have one picked out to switch to after we’re finished with it that has the full spectrum of EFAs and uses borage oil, which is very good for some of our conditions. i might try to get a straight borage supplement to take with the fish oil till it runs out and we can swap to the full spectrum vegan oil mix.
i’ve read enough about a proper vegan diet reducing chronic inflammation (a major problem of ours - despite our poor circulation, our hands are often hot to the touch from how inflamed our joints are), arthritis symptoms, and so on, and i have support from others to keep from fucking things up again by accident like we did when we were in our early 20s. we also know more about how our body works, or rather, doesn’t work, as far as properly absorbing nutrients.
in our early 20s, we were still malnourished from having an eating disorder -- trying to do a vegan diet without supplements was insane of us. but it felt very emotionally important to us. except we got very sick and very tired and could barely stand up at work, and we had no choice but to stop because we had to be at work 45 hours a week. we were a manager. and of course we had no insurance, so we couldn’t talk to a nutritionist.
it is still emotionally important to us. most of the time we were in nyc, the majority of our diet was at least vegetarian. things changed when we moved in part because the person we were living with didn’t eat quite the same things we used to and we were trying to merge our food together in some way so that we could cook a meal for both of us. or somehow make our food stamps cover us both for the month. or just eat something, when our cfs was too bad, which led to a lot of cans of tuna or chicken and crackers.
i’m only managing my own dietary junk again, so the choices i make only affect me.
let me know if you need this stuff tagged for any reason. just shoot me a message or an ask or poke me on discord. it’s really no problem and i won’t post it if you send it via ask. 
i don’t plan to start reblogging a lot of things about why it’s emotionally important to me because i find them incredibly traumatising for reasons that are rather beyond the scope of a tumblr blog, so don’t worry about that. 
at most, i might reblog some happy animal things, because those don’t traumatise me. i like seeing happy cows and chickens and other animals. i really like chickens - if i had a good-sized yard and i felt i could keep them safe from predators, i’d want some.

As you start reading the beginning of this article, you’ll find yourself discovering a whole new menace to you, and your companies reputation. At the same time, a potential ‘profit-killer’ to all your existing marketing efforts so far. Accordingly, in this article you’ll discover five hidden factors, in regards to your businesses ‘local online reputation’. These factors could dramatically lower your profits, without you knowing why or how this is happening. Additionally, you’ll discover ‘why’ Online Reputation Management, is the critical first step, above all your other marketing efforts, both online and off. And critical to every local business owner, in the new Information Age, that we are now doing business in.
In today’s crowded marketplace, the overwhelmed consumer public, will make snap choices according to what they see your companies reputation is online. An example is, online reviews written about your companies services from unhappy customer or clients. No matter if your online reputation or local brand is true or not, matters very little to the busy consumer. Who are looking for local product and/or service recommendations on the Web. Which is exactly why you can’t risk low doses of this critical online factor. That is, an impeccable reputation among online users. In addition, you want megadoses of positive reputation in the form of online reviews, social media posts, feedback, testimonials, and more.
Below are the 5 factors to consider when managing your online reputation in your local marketplace. Also, you might notice these five factors below, seem the same or at least very similar. The fact is, they are similar in nature, because they all seamlessly integrate into one broad important concept: Your Almighty Reputation, Future Profit Potential, and overall Survival. Moreover, within each factor below, you’ll discover they are similar, but separate aspects of the whole picture. All these aspects must be considered, when guarding your number one asset. This is, your entire reputation and profits overall. Still, they do integrate into a powerful unit or matrix. That together will supply you with the Mindset and Actions required, to deploy this important marketing strategy quickly and easily. These aspects will guide you to the tools that give you iron-grip control of this most important marketing strategy. That is, Reputation Management, in your business, forever. Here they are:
1-Online research has uncovered that approximately 80 percent of all searches online, are local consumers looking for local products and services. Because of this, it’s critical that you go on the defence to ensure your reputation is not marked with negativity on the Internet. This negativity usually comes in the form of bad reviews on Google’s search results. As well as, bad feedback across many other search engines, negative testimonials, negative Facebook posts, and so on. Although obvious, strive to maintain 100 percent customer satisfaction with all customers. And defuse all negative customer issues quickly. Also, assume everyone has the key to damage your reputation now, in the Information Age, online.
2-The next factor to consider is Customer Service. Without being impeccable in this area, your local business could quickly become doomed. The reason is, as mentioned earlier, because today each individual consumer, has the ability to ‘blast’ any opinion on the World Wide Web, instantly. For example, this factor makes it critical to be ‘positively irrational’ when solving negative customer issues. As a result, you defuse customer issues within your company first, before they reach the mass general public online. In other words, before they have a chance to get onto the internet, by having the customer ‘vent’ their dissatisfaction to everyone. To be certain, ‘positive irrationality’ means going overboard to satisfy your angry customers. And even losing a bit of profit. However, consider this loss in profit a well spent marketing cost. This added expense will return many more dollars, in word of mouth praise from a repaired relationship. Chances are, your newly satisfied customer will be sure to praise you for your willingness to “Do right”, in the presence of all his friends. Therefore, even if you know you didn’t do wrong to your angry customer, it is in your best interest to assume your customer is “always right”. That’s where you may have to act positively irrationally, to best satisfy your customers issue. Because sometimes, you will need to act against your mind and what you know is true, in regards to your customers complaint.
3-The next factor is that, today consumers have unlimited amounts of ‘communication leverage’. For instance, the old advice says “if you have one unsatisfied customer, she will tell seven others in her personal realm”. However, today the ordinary person has much more leverage than ever before. The fact is, virtually anyone can go online right now, connect, and communicate with hundreds, even millions of people very quickly. With that said, the leverage of bad news can now travel exponentially to wider audiences, faster than ever before in history, by virtually any lone person. Most importantly, your negative reputation will remain semi-permanently on the web for all to see, when searching for local goods and services. We’re now living in a time where bad news travels the fastest. And this trend will continue into the future toward the speed of light. As computing technology advances into a future of infinite possibilities, speed and individual power.
4-The fourth factor is Search Engines. The fact is, Google could show your bad reputation at the top of their search results. Although you may have never heard of the term ‘Reputation Management’, this internet factor will dramatically affect your local business, in the new local internet economy. For instance, in the past Industrial Age economy, a minimum amount of other people would surely hear about bad news. However, today with the Internet that news floats to the top of Google. The fact is, today individuals of all ages are increasingly using Internet search engines to research businesses, people, services, and products, before they decide to whom they will do business with. The results, like it or not, your business will be impacted. The risk is high. Your business could easily take a negative hit with just one angry customer, one disgruntled employee or one malicious competitor. As a result, your reputation could sustain a semi-permanent “red flag” to your precious reputation publicly.
5-The last factor is, all ages are now using the web. In the Information Age, everyone is going online. From youngsters to the elderly, they all have one thing in common. This common denominator is that most of them are now going to the Internet to search for local products and services. The fact of the matter is, you must increase your reputation online. In other words, you must take an active role to control your reputation on the Internet now. To all local business owners who miss this critical concept, will leave themselves wide open for trouble in the future. You must be different. You must work hard to create testimonials, positive feedback, positive buzz and positive reviews on the Internet now. With that said, one way you can begin to easily create this, is by creating incentive programs, that cause happy customers to go to the Internet and leave testimonials about your business. Most important, with this technique your customer service and products subconsciously build trust with your potential consumers and so on. This factor will most certainly cause your company to become the top trusted source among your market.
In Conclusion, the great news is, you can actually control your reputation for the good online. Here’s why, you and your company can make an effort to flood the Internet with positive testimonials, reviews, and buzz about you, your company, your customer service, your products and services. First you may want to flood your website with satisfied customer testimonials. Most important,consider the fact that there exist many review sites in every local area, that reviews products and services. Also, be sure to have your business a part of these review websites. Moreover, encourage satisfied customers to go and post positive reviews about your company online, in places such as Facebook, Google Places, and many more. Perhaps, you could use an incentive program, that could provide discounts for customers who post positive reviews about you, on the Internet. From here you will want to build this area of your Marketing on a consistent schedule month after month. This will guarantee that your Positive Reputation online becomes “bullet-proof” from subtle attacks. While laying fertile cyber-space, for positive growth of your Reputation forever, into the Information Age and beyond. Good Luck!

As you start reading the beginning of this article, you’ll find yourself discovering a whole new menace to you, and your companies reputation. At the same time, a potential ‘profit-killer’ to all your existing marketing efforts so far. Accordingly, in this article you’ll discover five hidden factors, in regards to your businesses ‘local online reputation’. These factors could dramatically lower your profits, without you knowing why or how this is happening. Additionally, you’ll discover ‘why’ Online Reputation Management, is the critical first step, above all your other marketing efforts, both online and off. And critical to every local business owner, in the new Information Age, that we are now doing business in.
In today’s crowded marketplace, the overwhelmed consumer public, will make snap choices according to what they see your companies reputation is online. An example is, online reviews written about your companies services from unhappy customer or clients. No matter if your online reputation or local brand is true or not, matters very little to the busy consumer. Who are looking for local product and/or service recommendations on the Web. Which is exactly why you can’t risk low doses of this critical online factor. That is, an impeccable reputation among online users. In addition, you want megadoses of positive reputation in the form of online reviews, social media posts, feedback, testimonials, and more.
Below are the 5 factors to consider when managing your online reputation in your local marketplace. Also, you might notice these five factors below, seem the same or at least very similar. The fact is, they are similar in nature, because they all seamlessly integrate into one broad important concept: Your Almighty Reputation, Future Profit Potential, and overall Survival. Moreover, within each factor below, you’ll discover they are similar, but separate aspects of the whole picture. All these aspects must be considered, when guarding your number one asset. This is, your entire reputation and profits overall. Still, they do integrate into a powerful unit or matrix. That together will supply you with the Mindset and Actions required, to deploy this important marketing strategy quickly and easily. These aspects will guide you to the tools that give you iron-grip control of this most important marketing strategy. That is, Reputation Management, in your business, forever. Here they are:
1-Online research has uncovered that approximately 80 percent of all searches online, are local consumers looking for local products and services. Because of this, it’s critical that you go on the defence to ensure your reputation is not marked with negativity on the Internet. This negativity usually comes in the form of bad reviews on Google’s search results. As well as, bad feedback across many other search engines, negative testimonials, negative Facebook posts, and so on. Although obvious, strive to maintain 100 percent customer satisfaction with all customers. And defuse all negative customer issues quickly. Also, assume everyone has the key to damage your reputation now, in the Information Age, online.
2-The next factor to consider is Customer Service. Without being impeccable in this area, your local business could quickly become doomed. The reason is, as mentioned earlier, because today each individual consumer, has the ability to ‘blast’ any opinion on the World Wide Web, instantly. For example, this factor makes it critical to be ‘positively irrational’ when solving negative customer issues. As a result, you defuse customer issues within your company first, before they reach the mass general public online. In other words, before they have a chance to get onto the internet, by having the customer ‘vent’ their dissatisfaction to everyone. To be certain, ‘positive irrationality’ means going overboard to satisfy your angry customers. And even losing a bit of profit. However, consider this loss in profit a well spent marketing cost. This added expense will return many more dollars, in word of mouth praise from a repaired relationship. Chances are, your newly satisfied customer will be sure to praise you for your willingness to “Do right”, in the presence of all his friends. Therefore, even if you know you didn’t do wrong to your angry customer, it is in your best interest to assume your customer is “always right”. That’s where you may have to act positively irrationally, to best satisfy your customers issue. Because sometimes, you will need to act against your mind and what you know is true, in regards to your customers complaint.
3-The next factor is that, today consumers have unlimited amounts of ‘communication leverage’. For instance, the old advice says “if you have one unsatisfied customer, she will tell seven others in her personal realm”. However, today the ordinary person has much more leverage than ever before. The fact is, virtually anyone can go online right now, connect, and communicate with hundreds, even millions of people very quickly. With that said, the leverage of bad news can now travel exponentially to wider audiences, faster than ever before in history, by virtually any lone person. Most importantly, your negative reputation will remain semi-permanently on the web for all to see, when searching for local goods and services. We’re now living in a time where bad news travels the fastest. And this trend will continue into the future toward the speed of light. As computing technology advances into a future of infinite possibilities, speed and individual power.
4-The fourth factor is Search Engines. The fact is, Google could show your bad reputation at the top of their search results. Although you may have never heard of the term ‘Reputation Management’, this internet factor will dramatically affect your local business, in the new local internet economy. For instance, in the past Industrial Age economy, a minimum amount of other people would surely hear about bad news. However, today with the Internet that news floats to the top of Google. The fact is, today individuals of all ages are increasingly using Internet search engines to research businesses, people, services, and products, before they decide to whom they will do business with. The results, like it or not, your business will be impacted. The risk is high. Your business could easily take a negative hit with just one angry customer, one disgruntled employee or one malicious competitor. As a result, your reputation could sustain a semi-permanent “red flag” to your precious reputation publicly.
5-The last factor is, all ages are now using the web. In the Information Age, everyone is going online. From youngsters to the elderly, they all have one thing in common. This common denominator is that most of them are now going to the Internet to search for local products and services. The fact of the matter is, you must increase your reputation online. In other words, you must take an active role to control your reputation on the Internet now. To all local business owners who miss this critical concept, will leave themselves wide open for trouble in the future. You must be different. You must work hard to create testimonials, positive feedback, positive buzz and positive reviews on the Internet now. With that said, one way you can begin to easily create this, is by creating incentive programs, that cause happy customers to go to the Internet and leave testimonials about your business. Most important, with this technique your customer service and products subconsciously build trust with your potential consumers and so on. This factor will most certainly cause your company to become the top trusted source among your market.
In Conclusion, the great news is, you can actually control your reputation for the good online. Here’s why, you and your company can make an effort to flood the Internet with positive testimonials, reviews, and buzz about you, your company, your customer service, your products and services. First you may want to flood your website with satisfied customer testimonials. Most important,consider the fact that there exist many review sites in every local area, that reviews products and services. Also, be sure to have your business a part of these review websites. Moreover, encourage satisfied customers to go and post positive reviews about your company online, in places such as Facebook, Google Places, and many more. Perhaps, you could use an incentive program, that could provide discounts for customers who post positive reviews about you, on the Internet. From here you will want to build this area of your Marketing on a consistent schedule month after month. This will guarantee that your Positive Reputation online becomes “bullet-proof” from subtle attacks. While laying fertile cyber-space, for positive growth of your Reputation forever, into the Information Age and beyond. Good Luck!
