just finished my third playthrough of tangle tower. have some fun details.
(spoilers for TT and SotS, long post)
Grimoire jokes about “what came first, the house or the tree” and the entire house has egg motifs
According to the family tree, Fitz’s mother is Emily Everstone. Echo Everstone was the person who killed Richard Remington in Secret Of The Swamp, doing so to protect Boggy, the mystid who lived in that swamp.
The family tree features several Mystids on it, including the Inkdip (right), the Amphobi/Boggy (bottom right), the Soulcrab (bottom left) and the Silversnake (bottom).
“Do you think she/he still lives here” is asked every time you click on a family member on the family tree, and the Ambassadors are later described as “a bunch of people who don’t live here anymore”.
The music on Poppy’s cassette to Freya is the music room theme with the piano isolated. It corrupts right where it loops.
Each of the four tunes for the harp puzzle are four musical motifs found in the Tangle Tower soundtrack.
The Opened Letter is Hawkshaw's shade of red.
133 hours is indeed 5 and a half days if you round down.
Penny’s room contains detective novels, romance novels, and romantic detective novels. This makes all of Sally and Hawkshaw’s interactions feel intentionally coded.
Freya spent most of Hawkshaw’s investigation of her room looking up at the sky. Likely didn’t want to look the physical manifestation of her worst nightmare in the eyes.
“More so than at any moment prior, I felt like quite an intruder in the house.” A line from Hawkshaw, later echoed by Penny.
“Three brightly colored birds in a heavy, ornate cage.” This incredibly loaded metaphor comes back several times.
In the aviary, there’s a writing desk with a page torn from the middle. This is the paper Penny used for the “NOW I’LL GET HER” note.
Penny is such a lonely character, and I think what really brings this home is when her own *goddamn uncle* doesn’t recognize her as the detective he hired. like, holy shit.
The way Penny refers to Hawkshaw (unsavory, said nasty things about her appearance) and how Hawkshaw refers to Penny (immature 27 year old) is very telling of her internal conflict.
Because this is an open point and click game, you need to be able to do things in any order, which means that you can have some bombshell revelations (like Percival hiring Hawkshaw or Hawkshaw looking for the golden beetle) less than 20 minutes in the game.
The Mysterious Girl’s theme ends up being used as Freya's theme in Tangle Tower.
The dusty violin in the music room sends the impression that a missing resident used to play it. My hunch is Primrose.
Penny remembers Poppy, Fitz, and Fifi standing next to each other in the crime scene, while Poppy remembers her and Fifi investigating Freya’s corpse when Penny shows up.
Poppy says who the killer is in her poems.
Poppy mentions Freya seeing “beneath our pond” in her poem to her. Freya did do that.
Sally’s comment about being a murder suspect “falling short” is an obvious reference to SotS.
Poppy can tell when someone’s touched the piano and Fitz can tell when someone’s touched the greenhouse.
Percival claims to be unconcerned with petty drama, as above it all as the stars - but he is not an astronomer, and is knees deep in family drama.
Flora specifically had a falling out with her brother and sister, who later ended up being Ambassadors. Flora’s attachment to the Inkdip likely caused the conflict with her siblings.
The sheet music is nearly accurate to what Poppy plays - however, she carries a few notes too long.
The eye on the floor of Poppy's room is the same eye can be seen on the ceiling of flora’s tower. 
Each of the library shelves are worth investigating. Birds, nature, space, insects, geography, and ancient history are all elements of Tangle Tower and the interests of its residents.
Felix leaves out a very crucial part of the DNA mutation cycle - “the animals eat the plants”, but then the humans eat the animals.
In the relationship chart in Fifi’s room, the only person with two arrows pointing to them is Percival. Those two arrows lead back to Penny and Hawkshaw.
Fifi’s room is one of the original rooms in Mystid Manor, hence the glass chandeliers - it wasn’t built specifically for her, so it doesn’t suit her tastes.
Primrose was a floriculturist, likely the source for Poppy's interest in flowers.
“What happened to all the non-ordinary [birds]?” “That… is a very good question.” Grimoire theorizes the Inkdip flew away instead of dying, perhaps some mass event caused the birds to leave?
When shown the painting, Penny describes it as “overbearing”, which lines up with her opinions on Hawkshaw when asked.
When examining Flora’s tower from Pointer’s telescope, it’s noted that her tower is above the rooftop garden. Given that the “NOW I’LL GET HER” letter is forged, it’s possible that it was used to obfuscate the yellow feather.
Penelope says in her confession that she planted the blood to give Poppy and Freya something to fixate on. This means she somehow acquired a pot’s worth of blood.
In Fifi’s notes about the suspects, Penny’s dislikes are noted to be insects. 
Felix says Tangle Tower was built by “Lord Remington and his… associates”, implying that he knows about the Ambassadors.
When shown the birds in the cage, Felix says “I’m sure they could leave if they wanted to.” This is indicative of how little he understands Fifi’s plight.
Felix mentions Boggy on the harp statue being “part of the Remington family history”. This leads me to believe that Richard and Primrose are the ones who thought up the Ambassadors.
Grimoire’s smirk when asked about the feet of the horn statue is a nod to Boggy’s feet being a key plot point in SotS.
Nearly every time Hawkshaw does something that contradicts her strict detective persona, it is a lie. 
One of the key points of Freya’s character is the supernatural - her ghost gives us the Soulbearer toy, and she has a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy with Hawkshaw and the painting in red. 
Any of the cracked items (paints, gramophone, or cassette tape) can be presented in the Machinations of Murder sequence when Grimoire asks for physical signs of breakage. Fun little game design thing.
Penny asking to have her hands tied is probably a result of her love for detective novels. The good guys always tie up the bad guys.
Penny describes Freya as “being possessed by a great energy to create something from nothing”. This is alchemy, and alchemy is referred to many times in the story.
Penny mentions her father, Buck Brackley, being one of the Ambassadors. Buck Brackley was also present in the original concept art of the Ambassadors. In her speech, the fifth ambassador is Buck and not Lord Fellow, but this contradicts the Ambassadors portrait. This is likely a development oversight.
Percival got the beetle in the post. Perhaps this mysterious sender will show up in the next game…
“Specifically… what you’d done to them - when they refused to help you.” This line implies that Penny killed the five Ambassadors. However, we know that Echo was responsible for Richard Remington’s death, so this may be a retcon or an uncorrected misconception.
Fifi's two chalkboards, the clipboard found in the greenhouse, the papers in the basement laboratory, and the menu screen all have the same set of mysterious symbols. This could be a greater unsolved puzzle, or just set dressing.

Welcome to my Chateau!
A couple of purple haired women can be seen sitting a table eating completely over flowing with plates of succulent ham, potatoes, stuffing, pork gravy, and yams. When suddenly a cheesy jaunty midi tune starts to blare in the background. Suddenly a humongous purple haired woman flies across the screen crashes in front of the camera. She lands with a mighty quake causing the couple to bounce into the air! Everything then crashes onto the floor as Purple haired woman stands up right. The couple stands up and we see the humongous woman towering over them!
Tumblr media
“Hello! My name is Abigail Gains!”
She lifts her meaty arms into the air, quickly spreading her arms wide! Thier fat ripples throughout t her entire body causing her bingo wings to succumb to gravity The fat flowing from her arms like ivy growing off of a tree branch. 
“And welcome to my restaurant!” She Smiles.
“I’m a 27 year old restaurateur;Who’s fed up with the paltry portions offered by most eateries! Though, I can appreciate how spaces are rather”cozy” those spaces can be.”
“Most establishments push their ability to supply proper accommodations and amenities, for all the ever-increasing demands, of customers of increasing real estate.” Abigail begins rubbing her belly in full circles. She coos and smiles wryly at the camera.
“And while this is admirable, it seems like an endeavor of both futile effort and fleeting interest. So I decided to open up “The Gold Butterfly Château!”.”
The camera pans out to reveal a beautiful and mammoth proportioned Restaurant interior. A vast array of translucent rainbow colored curtain seem to hang from an unseen ceiling.
“The Gold Butterfly Château specializes in satisfying clients with advanced appetites. A restaurant specifically designed to provide a space where an ever expanding and growing clientele can eat in both style and comfort!”  
Abigail walks to the side revealing a single purple cushioned chair, scaled perfectly for her size.  She hops onto it, drops all her weight down on a cushioned purple chair.It doesn’t even buckle.She leans backwards revealing her titanic sphere of her belly cresting almost out frame. This action reveals the chair to actually be a recliner with a separate extended paddle that’s lifting her bellies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Three other  purple hared women emerges dragging  a wide, 7ft tall cask of root beer one placing a clear  hose into mouth.
“Would you like your belly rubbed while you drink?” The other two ask.
“YES! PLEASE!” Abigail beamed.
The two other women begin massaging the flanks of her bellies imposing walls. The Goliath Goddess’ belly grows out of and heavier while she continues to drink until the casks are drained into Abigail’s audibly groaning belly. Abigail sits up the chairs paddle maneuvering it’s massive payload to the ground “Ugh..I drank to fast.” Abigail middle continues to swell! tries to belch but cant.
One of her personal masseuses climbs on top and she begin pushing their entire body weight into Abigail’s giant orb. “I can feel it in their, but it won’t come out! We need more pressure! “
Abigail bellows.”Please bring me one of my bottomless FREE *wink wink!* Refills! as Wells as my Usual!” The camera pans to the side as focusing on the crest  Another cask alongside a table with a large clock in the middle of it it with cycling Conveyor belt  is brought out immediately. entire serving trays stuffed with food.
Abigail looks shocked! “Steak, potatoes, cakes, pies, pasta, lasagna, Burritos, Fajitas, egg rolls, french fries, and MORE!?! the list goes on!”
“Lets dig in!” The footage speeds up rapidly as the clock spins super fast! entire chafing-dishes are cleared by purple blurs as Abi’s Gut visually swell bigger and bigger as more hands can be seen joining in, oiling and polishing Abigail”s belly like a sacred idol! Widening, stretching and dominating the screen! The hour hand spins around the clockface until the hour hand completely encircles itself.
Tumblr media
“Ugh! So Good!” Abigial’s faceis  flush beet red, wider, and with another chin beginning to form. Her breathing deeper voice a few measures deeper
 “Is their anything else you would like OH Valued Customer?

Betta 101: A Care Guide For the Uninformed
Y’all know betta fish, those cute little fuckers that want to fight anything and everything. These are my tiny assholes, Helios and Mercury:
Tumblr media
[Image description: Two side-by-side photos of betta fish. The first photo shows Helios, a black halfmoon betta with yellow fins. He is swimming through the leaves of a plant rooted in colorful gravel. The second photo shows Mercury, a purple and pink veiltail betta, resting idle at the top of his aquarium. End image description.]
Betta fish are some of the most popular fish in the aquarium hobby, and no wonder! They’re cute! They have a wide variety of colors and fin shapes, and each one is truly beautiful. They stand out in any aquarium, especially in aquariums with darker-colored decorations.
The thing about bettas, though, is that there are a lot of misconceptions about how to take care of them. Every few days I see someone else buying a betta that they’re not equipped to care for, and it makes me so sad.
Because bettas are so damn popular, they’re also, sadly, one of the most mistreated pet fish on the market. Since I’ve spent a lot of time both learning about and caring for betta fish, I thought I’d put together a quick 101 guide and resource list for anyone interested in getting a betta of their own!
This’ll be pretty long, so the rest of the post is under a cut.
Rule Number One: Bettas are not decorations!
Because betta fish are so beautiful and attention-grabbing, they’re often thought of, and used as, nothing more than decorations. Betta fish in tiny bowls or cups are used as centerpieces at weddings, bettas get added to vases of cut flowers to add some pizzazz, and bettas get put in artsy glass bowls to brighten up some bank manager’s office somewhere.
None of those are acceptable ways to house a betta fish! Bettas are not decorations, and they need to be cared for by someone who loves and values them as a living creature, not an attention-grabbing bauble.
Rule Number Two: Bowls are bad!
There’s a very persistent myth about betta fish: “they live in puddles, so they don’t need very much space.” It’s why they wind up in things like centerpieces and vases so often. The thing is, just because betta fish are capable of surviving harsh conditions and minimal amounts of water for a while, it doesn’t mean they’re able to thrive.
Betta fish do not naturally live in puddles! They are native to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, and live in rivers, canals, and bodies of standing water such as rice paddies and flood plains. If a betta lives in a rice paddy or floodplain and the water level drastically decreases, bettas are equipped to survive those harsh conditions for a short period of time, but it is not a healthy way for them to live their entire lives. They require plenty of space to swim and claim territory.
The suggested minimum amount of water for a pet betta fish is 2.5 gallons, or 9.5 litres. Personally, I don’t like to keep a betta in anything less than 5 gallons, or 19 litres, but that’s just my preference because, on average, the smaller the aquarium, the more frequent the need for water changes and maintenance. Currently, the smallest tank I have is 10 gallons, which houses a single betta.
Rule Number Three: Temperature is important!
Wild bettas live in a tropical environment, which needs they need warmer water! Your betta aquarium should have a consistent, steady water temperature of between 74 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or 23 to 27 degrees Celsius.
Some people who live in warmer climates may not need to use a constant heater, but every aquarium should have a thermometer so you can check the temperature. If you can’t maintain a betta-appropriate temperature without a heater, you’ll need to get one.
Some aquarium heaters are pre-set to specific temperatures, which are fine as long as they’re preset to the right one, and some heaters are adjustable -- it doesn’t matter which one you get and is largely a matter of preference. I have both types of heater and find them equally easy to use, though adjustable heaters have the benefit of versatility should you want to keep different fish in the future.
Rule Number Four: Filters are a must!
You need a filter, period. There are many types of filter, and aquarium hobbyists have different preferences for different fish, but what matters is that a filter exists in your tank. The hang-on-the-back style filters that come in most aquarium kits are perfectly fine, though it’s important that your filter has a low flow, because betta fish can be battered around by strong currents in an aquarium. You should also avoid under-the-gravel style filters, as they are largely not effective enough to filter an appropriately-sized tank.
For those looking for a budget-friendly option, many betta keepers love sponge filters! I personally don’t use them, not for any particular reason other than hang-on-the-back filters were what I had on hand.
I personally don’t have a lot of experience with every kind of filter, so if you’re interested in more details about your filter options, I recommend these YouTube videos:
How to Choose The Right Filter For Your Aquarium!
10 Things You Should Know About Aquarium Filters
Fish Tank Filter Basics!
The BEST Aquarium Filter for BEGINNERS?
Rule Number Five: Careful with decor!
Bettas have very delicate fins that can be easily caught and shredded on sharp decorations. Most plastic plants are dangerous to bettas for this reason. The general guideline for betta-safe decorations is that if you can lightly sweep a single piece of toilet paper across the surface of a decoration without ripping, it should be safe for your betta. If the TP rips, it’s not a betta-safe decoration.
If you notice your betta’s fins are ripped or damaged, and it isn’t a case of fin rot*, it could be damage due to a sharp decoration that you need to remove.
You should also be careful not to use any decorations that might leech paint or other harmful chemicals into your aquarium water. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and choose a different decoration.
* For more about fin rot, see this YouTube video: FIN ROT Fish Disease Prevention and Treatment
Rule Number Six: Bettas need hiding places!
A betta fish’s natural environment is filled with plants and plenty of places to hide, so you should provide them in your aquarium!
Live plants such as anubias and java fern, and floating plants such as salvinia and Amazon frogbit, are perfect and typically easy to find in aquarium shops. With betta fish, there really is no such thing as “too many plants.”
Live plants can be intimidating, though, especially for new aquarium hobbyists. If you can’t find or don’t want live plants, you can get your betta some silk ones instead.
You should also provide things like caves for your betta to hide in. These can be whatever you’d like, from natural-looking logs to hollowed-out coconut shells to colorful themed decor. Just remember what I said up in rule number four about sharp plastic and chemicals!
Rule Number Seven: Careful with tankmates!
Betta fish are highly territorial and extremely aggressive. If you put more than one male betta fish in a tank, they will kill each other, full stop. Your betta does not need a buddy to keep him from getting lonely, end of story, and intentionally housing multiple male betta fish together is blatant animal cruelty.
So don’t do it.
Some experienced betta keepers may keep multiple female betta fish together in an aquarium called a “sorority tank,” but it must be done extremely carefully, and may still be prone to fighting, so this isn’t something you should do if you’ve never kept bettas before.
Male and female fish are never kept together except for supervised mating by an experienced breeder. In the wild, female bettas are able to leave as soon as they release their eggs, leaving the male fish to tend the nest of eggs. In an aquarium, a female must be removed immediately after releasing her eggs, or the two fish will fight, most likely to the death.
While betta fish are territorial and aggressive, and can’t be housed with their own species, they can sometimes be kept with other species of fish. Mileage varies depending on the individual temperaments of your fish, though, and you should carefully research any species you intend to house together.
I have experience keeping my bettas with snails and neon tetras, and they all get along just fine, but other betta keepers have had different experience. For more information on selecting potential tankmates, check out the YouTube videos below:

Rule Number Eight: Know your aquarium 101!
If you’re an experienced aquarium keeper, congrats, those are pretty much all the basics of betta fish! There’s plenty more information out there about details and specifics that I encourage you to go out and research, but I’ve pretty much covered Betta 101!

For those who have never kept fish before, there’s a lot to it that you need to know, and would make this post way, way too long.
So! If you don’t know what a nitrogen cycle is, or how to acclimate a fish, or how to condition water, here’s a list of Fish 101 playlists YouTube. Be sure to do plenty of research, and good luck on setting up your first aquarium!

Tumblr media
New Zealand schools have introduced a climate change resource that suggests children “eat less meat and dairy”, even though teachers will not know how much meat or dairy any child in their care has eaten. Opinion pieces in the papers have called for the reduction of meat and dairy in hospital menus, not usually generous sources of such foods, despite the well-known risks of undernutrition, especially of protein, in the frail and elderly. Globally, the influential and once-objective medical journal the Lancet has hosted Eat Lancet, a coalition of vegan and vegetarian technocrats backed by processed food manufacturers, and promoted their agenda. The Guardian newspaper accepted an £626783 grant from the backers of Impossible Foods to run a series of articles against animal agriculture.
These initiatives, aimed at remodelling our food supply in a way that favours the multinational food processing and seed-and-chemical corporations, whose control of many aspects of farming and diet is already problematic, have run far ahead of the scientific community’s efforts to understand the health effects of such dietary change.
Tumblr media
Our hunter-gatherer past
The Neolithic Revolution was the first alteration in human affairs that is generally considered worthy of the term Revolution. In Marx’s terms, it saw a change in the means of production sufficient to form new classes aware of their identities, and thus a change in the relations between people. Early humans had fed themselves in an opportunistic, hunter-gatherer fashion that tended to favour a diet of animals supplemented with plants where and when these were available. Large animals made the best meals but gathering activities could collect many smaller ones, as well as eggs, grubs etc.
The people of the Mesolithic era discovered that some animals could be herded and some plants grown in gardens (not usually by the same community, because one activity favours nomadism and the other favours a sedentary habit) but these activities, which greatly improved food security after the decline of the prehistoric mega-fauna due to hunting and climate pressures, tended to occur at the communal level and probably did not create major class differences between the people involved.
Tumblr media
The invention of farming
The Neolithic Revolution, which unleashed the human potential for war, creativity, and social division, resulted from the identification of the germs of plants (specifically grains and legumes) as durable sources of energy. If grains were grown (I will use grains in the wider sense of “cereals”, after Braudel, including other dried germs such as peas) and there was a surplus, this surplus would still be edible over the next year, a year when drought or pests or diseases might wipe out the other food sources that hunter-gatherers depended on. This advantage was offset by the nutritional poverty of grain-based diets, so that tuberculosis probably became an endemic disease during this period,[1] but the existence of a less-perishable surplus allowed the diversion of part of the population away from food gathering for large parts of the year, and saw the creation of armies and other workforces.
In Europe, the Neolithic Revolution is dated at around 10,000 BC and its arrangements are a matter of prehistory, but in China this change occurred later and the written record around Bi-gu or grain avoidance includes folk-memories of conflict between grain eating and grain avoiding peoples.
The history of colonisation is the history of the conquest of lactose-intolerant peoples by lactose-tolerant populations, and of non-grain eaters by grain-eaters. In the Indian sub-continent, a combination of dairy herding and a cereal diet high in legumes uniquely allowed the survival of a substantially vegetarian population, and saw the conservation of genes favouring reproduction on such a diet, including genetic polymorphisms still rare in European populations (adaptive mutations only predominate where many individuals without them have failed to survive or reproduce).[2] That the Indian social system became more aggressively class-based than any other is probably no co-incidence; prejudice against meat-eating is still used as a tool of social control against minorities, while meat-eating is one way young Indians today identify as modern and egalitarian. However there were some important exceptions to the trend – the Aztecs were a hunter-gather people who conquered and dominated the Mesolithic agriculturalists of Mexico, and the Mongols were nomadic herders and hunters whose greater stamina and independence allowed them to defeat the rice-fed armies of the Chinese Emperors (after conquering this breadbasket, the successive Mongol Khans seem to have eaten and drunk themselves to death).
Early vegetarian ideology
In the European and Asian cereal-based societies the poorest classes went without meat, supplementing cereals when possible with buttermilk or blood pudding which were more economic replacements. The rich ate as much meat as they could. The idea that an entire society might avoid meat is a recent one with its roots in religious practice, and, insofar as it has any political basis, this flows in two distinct streams – the eco-fascist, in which meat avoidance is a sign of “purity”, most humans are a burden on the Earth, and the Indian vegetarians are of course Aryans. This is something like the vegetarian vision that Adolf Hitler picked up while studying anti-Semitism with Wagner’s heirs at Bayreuth.
And then there is a Marxist-Anarchist, and latterly Intersectional, version, founded on a valuation of animal rights as inseparable from, and a logical extension of, human rights. Vegetarianism was a frequent obsession of the early British Socialists; G.B. Shaw, who derived most of his energy from dairy fat and lived to the age of 94, made himself into a well-known example, and the idea was sufficiently entrenched among the British Socialists and their milieu that H.G. Wells preserved its internal contradictions for posterity in The Time Machine. In his far-future vision, humanity has evolved into two separate species. The Morlocks are descendants of working-class meat-eaters, the Eloi of leisure-class vegetarians – all Wells’ loathing is reserved for the Morlocks, yet it is obvious they are (still) the engineering brains keeping their world running and the Eloi fed. The Eloi are useless for anything but enjoying the sunshine and feeding the Morlocks, and the discordance in Wells’ progressive values as he describes both species is as shocking as anything else in the story.
The first large-scale experiment in plant-based protein was attempted by the Bolsheviks. As usual, it’s hard to separate the roles played by idealism and cynicism in the story, but the bare bones are that the Soviets found their initial attempts to remodel the countryside rebuffed, blamed this on the recaltricance of the kulak class, and set out to destroy them. The problem being that the kulaks, owning most of the cattle and sheep across the Russian Republics, helped to feed the people. Beginning in the 1920s, soy experts from the USA (then the Western world’s leading soy producer) were among the many foreign technicians imported into Russia, and soy processing plants were built and soy production increased to 283,000 tonnes in 1931, the year Stalin unleashed enforced collectivisation and the terror against the kulaks (and also the Kazakhs, a herding people who suffered the largest proportionate loss of life during this period). This led to the loss of millions of animals, either killed by their dispossessed owners or mismanaged by their inexperienced new owners. The soy project was hardly able to prevent the massive famines that followed, and by 1935 soy production had dropped to 54,000 tonnes. Though soy milk would later prove useful during the siege of Leningrad, by the 1930s soy had probably only served one purpose, as a statistic needed aforehand to quell the objections of pragmatic delegates to the destruction of the kulaks and their livestock.
Today we face the revival of this idea, of plant protein that will create a world with no need for animal protein, and the remodelling of life in the countryside, with the new impetus of climate change as its driver. Livestock cycles natural carbon, meaning there is no net addition of C02 to the atmosphere – and its contribution to the shorter-lived methane precursor has not changed since 2000 (methane rises have been due to fracking, methane itself AKA “natural gas”, landfill, and rice production; methane-emitting animals have always existed on Earth in substantial numbers, and have not created a novel situation in the sense that the discovery of coal, oil and gas did). We have recently seen how much global disruption is required to reduce fossil fuel CO2 emissions to 2006 levels, levels which will still warm the planet if they continue. It could be still be worth reducing agricultural cycling of CO2 through methane, which is more warming than CO2 if this is cost-free, but is it?
Tumblr media
Why humans evolved as meat eaters
Animal foods, and especially red meat, supply a constellation of nutrients not found together (if they are found at all) in any plant food. Nutrients are those chemicals essential for the functioning of the human organism, and plants, but not livestock, can survive well without nutrients such as amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that are essential to humans. Surviving as a vegetarian or vegan is possible for some (perhaps assuming the genetic variants referred to earlier are present) but to thrive requires knowledge of these nutrients, where to find them, how to process the foods that supply them, or how to supplement them. Thriving as an omnivore or even a complete carnivore does not – nutritional sufficiency is the reason we evolved eating meat and other animal foods long before we learned there were such things as essential nutrients.
The reasons for avoiding meat or all animal foods can have a class basis – veganism may be taken up by educated middle-class adults, more likely to be exposed to “health food” ideas and aware of the need to supplement, some of whom then commercialise their habits as social media “influencers”. Meat avoidance is also being adopted increasingly by educated middle-class children for identity or compassionate reasons, but the poor may also avoid meat because of its cost when a loaf of bread or a packet of flavoured noodles can be bought for a dollar; these two motivations sometimes coincide when students in temporary poverty make a virtue of what they perceive to be a necessity.
Does the meat-avoiding behaviour of young people have unintended costs? Several observational studies have looked at the characteristics of meat-avoiding populations and found alarming increases in depression, anxiety and self-harm.
“The majority of studies, and especially the higher quality studies, showed that those who avoided meat consumption had significantly higher rates or risk of depression, anxiety, and/or self-harm behaviors. There was mixed evidence for temporal relations, but study designs and a lack of rigor precluded inferences of causal relations. Our study does not support meat avoidance as a strategy to benefit psychological health.”[3]
How can we explain these correlations? Why should we assume that they are causal?There are several lines of evidence to support a causal link: 1) several nutrients found in meat and animal foods are important factors in mood and cognition; vitamin B12, iron, carnitine, DHA, choline and tryptophan are some examples.[4] 2) the fatty acid mix in dairy and red meat has a similar composition to that of amniotic fluid and breast milk which has anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects in young animals.[5] 3) soy is a convenient and cheap replacement for animal protein; soy processing in Western diets results in a 10-fold higher level of the estrogenic contaminant isoflavone than that found in Asian diets.[6] Soy isoflavone causes anxiety behaviour in young female animals, and there is evidence supporting psychotropic and hormonal effects in humans.[7,8,9.10] Interestingly, while right-wing critiques of soy eating focus on effects it can have on young men, the scientific evidence for adverse effects in younger females, converting to HRT-like benefits after menopause, is stronger.[11] 4) other toxins found in plants, such as salicylates and oxalates, as well as problematic proteins such as gliadin/gluten and zein, may be present at higher levels in meat-free diets (but are not unique to them). A vegan mince sold in Countdown supermarkets is simply a coloured blend of soy protein and gluten, a protein linked to the risk of schizophrenia.[12] In the New Zealand context it would be relatively easy to confirm or dispute some of these associations. Everyone admitted to hospital for longer than a day supplies their dietary preferences. The dietetic preference data from psychiatric admissions could be both linked to outcomes over time and compared with the population average distribution, or the distribution in a ward where diet is least likely to play a role in admissions.
Iron deficiency in women
Young women in New Zealand are the most likely to report being vegan or vegetarian in surveys, as elsewhere in the world. Vegans in the Gender Studies field generate papers linking meat to masculinity, with the implication that this masculinity is toxic and might be improved by a plant-based diet.[13] The corollary of this belief – that women may therefore be weakened by meat-avoidance – is never considered. In a 1980 essay by Gloria Steinem called The Politics of Food (in the collection Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions) she describes some of the cultural constructs by which women are deprived of the good nutrition which men use to stay dominant. The belief that men need to eat red meat more often than women may have been valid when the average man was more likely to have to survive an attack by a wild bear than the average woman, but today it is mainly women who suffer from serious iron deficiency. The rate – and the cost to the health system – is increasing in New Zealand as more women give up meat. Iron deficiency anaemia in early pregnancy is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in children, not an outcome that will increase the mother’s autonomy.[14]
In Georg Büchner’s 19th century “working class tragedy” Woyzeck, filmed by Werner Herzog with Klaus Kinski in the leading role and the subject of an opera by Alban Berg, the title character, a soldier, is subject to experimentation by a sadistic army doctor. The experiment involves Woyzeck living on nothing but peas. Peas may supply a complete protein, but Woyzeck goes insane; the deprivation being the final straw in his alienation. James Cameron, the film-maker responsible for Avatar and Titanic, is investing heavily in pea protein as if this were his gift to New Zealand. I am not sure whether he has watched Woyzeck – one would think he has.
Plant-based vs meat-based
Again, we have the specificity of plant germs as commodity; their low cost of production, long storage life and versatility of processing outcomes makes them an ideal investment and a robust one, as poverty and adversity increases their consumption, as we saw during the 2020 Lockdown Event. However, a plant-based burger is nutritionally greatly inferior to a meat burger, and that burger is often the most nutritious single food item many will people eat in the course of their day. The current push to eat a plant-based diet for “planetary health” is something that all the multinational food processors have signed up and provided funding for, and why not – Coca Cola, Unilever, Nestlé have always sold us plant-based foods. We notice that while iron-deficiency anaemia increases in New Zealand with the reason in plain sight, Nestlé scientists here in NZ are developing a more potent form of supplemental iron to add value to their products as their parent company backs the push to reduce meat. (As usual, it’s hard to separate the roles played by idealism and cynicism in the story). But, you may well ask, isn’t eating meat linked to an increased risk of cancer and heart disease? These associations are small to begin with, but they are also intensely confounded by social class and educational status. Supposing a factory that makes a carcinogenic chemical is hiring. Who is more likely to apply for that job – a meat eater (who will likely have a bigger family to support, among other considerations) or a vegan? Who, so to speak, eats all the pies, and needs food that is filling and nutritious without having to give it much thought? Who is more likely to work two jobs and be exposed to the disruptive metabolic effect of shift work? Carcinogen exposure and shift work are just two of the confounding variables ignored in diet epidemiology. (That meat-eating in Western populations may symbolise or associate with labour itself – as it did for H.G. Wells when he wrote The Time Machine – is not a consideration I have found discussed in the epidemiological literature.)
Certainly one can think of mechanisms that might link meat to disease, as one can with any food, but one can also think of protective mechanisms; several of the nutrients found mainly or only in animal foods are required for various antioxidant and immune defensive enzymes, and some like carnitine and EPA even have a place in the management of heart disease. The argument against meat-eating should not be confused with the argument for sometimes rationing a valuable food that is in short supply. The wartime rationing of meat in the UK is thought to have improved the health of the poorest by guaranteeing a greater supply than they had had previously, at a more affordable price. In Europe, the peasants who supplied the cities with meat, dairy and luxury foods such as oysters were sometimes forced by network disruptions to consume these foods – which many of them had never tasted before – with benefit to their own health.
The plant-based agenda can scarcely be expected to recognise these benefits, or understand the argument summarised by Williams and Dunbar (with regard to the vitamin nicotinamide and amino acid tryptophan in their tuberculosis paper), that if better data collection and analysis resulted in us ”…returning to our egalitarian past and redistributing meat or its components that supply NAD (avoiding both the highs and the lows between individuals and over individual lifetimes) [this] may be more effective than subsidizing corn grain (while the increased prosperity from unlocking human potential should pay for the intervention).”[1] Progress – which includes unlocking human potential from the chains of preventable mental and physical disease – depends on good data, and we do not yet seem to collate the data required to know whether or for whom plant-based diets are safe in New Zealand.

‘Supernatural’ season 15, episode 15 screener secrets: We’re ‘Highway to Heaven’-ing this bitch
[everything is from this Hypable article] 
This week on Supernatural, Amara returns and are angels solving people crimes now? Hypable previewed Supernatural season 15, episode 15 “Gimme Shelter,” so read on to find out more.
After a sweet and fun return to ease us back into the world of Supernatural last week, things are heating up pretty dramatically – I knew there wouldn’t be much more time for messing around.
“Gimme Shelter” sees Supernatural dip its feet into what the Winchesters currently believe is their big plan – eliminating Chuck by also taking down Amara, resulting in what they believe will be a cosmic-being-free balanced world. But first, they have to find her. Sam and Dean get a pretty good lead on her location, which results in a very interesting conversation between Amara and the boys – especially with her most favoritest Dean, of course.
Meanwhile, Castiel is persuaded into taking Jack to investigate a nearby case in Missouri – which all three adults suspect is probably the work of a human criminal – for the sake of humoring Jack and keeping him both busy and supervised. On the way home, they have a very interesting conversation of their own.
Tumblr media
Spoiler Warning: This article contains generalized spoilers for Supernatural season 15 episode 15, “Gimme Shelter.” If you do not wish to be spoiled at all, do not read this article in advance of the airdate.
The official synopsis for Supernatural season 15, episode 15 reads:
MATT COHEN DIRECTS — Castiel (Misha Collins) and Jack (Alexander Calvert) work a case involving members of a local church. Meanwhile, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) go off in search of Amara (guest star Emily Swallow). Matt Cohen directed the episode written by Davy Perez (#1515). Original airdate 10/15/2020.
If you want to know what to expect from this week’s Supernatural, here’s 10 teasers plus 15 single word clues from our advance viewing of Supernatural season 15, episode 15 “Gimme Shelter.”
‘Supernatural’ season 15, [10] episode 15 screener secrets 
1️⃣ During the filming of this episode (27 January – 5 February) Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles both spent much of the week at home with their families in Austin, a detail which was made clear on their and their wives’ public social media accounts – possibly the result of scheduled time off as they’ve mentioned occasionally requesting? The result is that the episode is weighted much more towards Cas, Jack and the murder investigation they’re chasing than towards Sam and Dean, but on the flip side, the Sam and Dean arc is more crucial to the long game of the show, so what it lacks in minutes, it makes up for in impact. 
2️⃣ However, the episode still begins and ends in a grounded family group way, at home in the Bunker – one of those “we know we should be doing this together but there are Reasons we have to split up” situations. This detail, in my opinion, really speaks to the motivation of the creative team towards honoring the four leads as parts of a whole – in earlier days, this kind of episode would have been two entirely non-touching threads. This one is, if not a tapestry, at very least a braid – tied up together at both ends, and intertwined in the middle.
3️⃣ You might have seen pictures or ominous trailer footage of Castiel and Jack digging a hole at the crossroads. We all know what that means! However, don’t worry. They simply want to talk – and the demon they summon has some really interesting – and dare I say positive? – news about the state of Hell under Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Rowena. Let’s just say the demon is actually pretty friendly… and extremely bored.
4️⃣ The two main guest stars on Cas and Jack’s side of the episode are both actors who have been briefly featured on the show before, in a couple of pretty famous episodes – one from season 2 and one from season 5. I don’t think there’s meant to be any meta or Easter Egg element to this, just the usual Vancouver casting industry cycle (see the ‘Weren’t You In Another Episode‘ reference page on the SuperWiki) but one of them is one of those cute “I appeared on Supernatural as a child and now I’m here as an adult” situations, and the other, well… the original character’s very name has become the stuff of Supernatural legend, and if I were in charge of this episode I would have put the actor in a particular piece of footwear and made sure we got a shot of it, just for kicks.
5️⃣ Castiel steps into a prayer circle when the church group members are meant to give a testimony – presumably of their journey so far and their relationship with faith. That’s what Cas chooses to share, at least – in a non-specific, humanized way – and fans of the character will be moved to hear the ways he verbalizes his own growth.
Tumblr media
6️⃣ Speaking of growth, some of Dean’s is spelled out for him in the most miraculous way by Amara. After Sam and Dean meet up with her and have a conversation about Chuck that’s ultimately a bit of a non-starter, Dean returns to ask her another, more personal question. Her response gave me legitimate chills. It’s a very weighty mic drop and the combination of the level of impact and the level of clarity (it’s entirely airtight, no room for interpretation) feels like the culmination of all the self-actualization work the show has been doing on Dean in the last four years. (I wish I could tell you Sam got a big special moment like this in the episode, but he doesn’t. Amara’s return was always going to be Dean’s thing.) Amara’s speech to Dean… it doesn’t feel isolated, like the idea of it was invented just for this episode. It feels more like concrete evidence of what the show has been trying to prove for ages. And the funny thing is, Amara is the anti-Chuck, right, and all season, we’ve learned about the version of the story Chuck thinks is good, and we’ve been told to root against that. Chuck’s version of Supernatural isn’t how the writers really feel. But I think Amara’s might be. Dean has obviously struggled to see what she tells him, all in one piece, but here it is – this was the point, laid out on the table, from the entity behind the curtain – both onscreen and off. Amara knew what she was doing, and so did the writers. This was always, always the point.
7️⃣ Even before this massive scene, Amara’s return is just great. Emily Swallow does such an incredible job with this character – she really is the anti-Chuck even without the whole writer comparison. Swallow imbues this character with such an incredible peace and stillness in comparison to Chuck’s histrionics – this was true in the way she spoke and behaved even in season 11, but this Amara also feels kindness and patience and tolerance. She radiates power, even when she’s also slightly goofy. There’s no fight, there’s no antagonism, but the boys in her presence are like little fish in a vast ocean – they quickly realise they have no real control in this conversation. The way that we leave her indicates she’ll be back and has more to say or do, and what she shared during her reunion with Sam and Dean makes me really curious about the role she’s due to play in the show’s endgame.
8️⃣ I’m not very religious but I really like the version of a church group or ‘faith-based community,’ as they say, featured in “Gimme Shelter.” Supernatural has a shaky history in terms of how the show portrays people in-universe who believe. Sometimes they’re treated like a joke, or stupid, or dangerous, or hypocrites, but occasionally civilian acts of faith are shown as great and powerful things, even in a world where we know that what they believe in isn’t strictly accurate. That concept became an even bigger question mark for me when we got the reveal that Judeo-Christian God is not only absent, but our actual villain. However, this was a really nice look at why faith can still be a framework for a good way of life – loving thy neighbor – for some people, no matter the truth about Chuck. The episode also features a callback to writer Davy Perez’ very first Supernatural episode “American Nightmare” in terms of the way that some people have weaponized faith and religion to the detriment and harm of others or even themselves, but this factor does not negate the positive point mentioned above.
9️⃣ Supernatural alum and newly minted director Matt Cohen really got the full old-school Supernatural episode experience when it comes to leaning into the spooky horror element. The murderous case-of-the week featured in this episode is heavy and lingering on the gore and even contains a little bit of a jump scare, so view responsibly.
🔟 So, um, you know that line, in this week’s teaser trailer? The line that a lot of people are freaking out about because it seems to pertain to something important that we know about Cas’ fate that Dean and Sam aren’t aware of? Yeah, it is 100% absolutely not about that at all. It is about something super important, but it’s not that. It’s also the last line of the episode, but trust me – it’s not a cliffhanger and it’s not a red herring and it’s not a twist. The information is gleaned within the episode and you’ll know exactly what Cas is telling Dean about after seeing it – narratively, that’s the reason it isn’t in the episode, because the show clearly assumes you’ll get the picture and can skip a rehash of information. But what you were probably expecting – maybe even hoping for – it’s not that. You’re gonna have to hang on for that one.
Finally, have 15 random yet significant words from this week’s episode without any context whatsoever: Gaia, Ronald, mother, pierogies, cats, philosophy, target, blind, permission, lockdown, Kool-aid, buffet, gift, trial, choice.
‘Supernatural’ airs Thursday at 8/7c on The CW

Dear intellectuals and members of this distinguished group, allow me to present this work to you, asking you to share my opinions and theses, and to make it together under study to help see the light, perhaps we would have benefited people and made a change in it at the level of history. If my conclusions are true, then it is not true that I I tell God not to be truth.
Theory of inclination
Text::
After the sane, wise man appeared on the earth, the earth deviated with respect to its pivotal rotation, which led to a great qualitative shift in the history of mankind, so it caused changes to the topography, general climate, and composition of man and was the reason behind the Great Flood.
Explanation ::
This theory is the result of a long series of research after you stopped me after the observations regarding the story of Noah, peace be upon him, in the wise download .. The theory and scientific integrity began after I heard the late Dr. Muhammad Shahrour talking about the issue of the time period that Noah, peace be upon him, spent in his people in the wise download And the difference in the mechanism of calculating the years between us and the house of that era .. Here I adopted this idea and I was inspired by the roots of my theory .. And I saw that this news necessarily has behind it other great mysteries and another aspect, and therefore there are news and other interpretations accompanying this information and I started searching and that was my hypothesis.
When we talk about wiping out at the level of this planet, we must talk about a great event other than the course of human history, in which the life and environmental system is complete.
Duha in the Arabic tongue is, in short, the body took the shape of an egg and it has another significance in the sense that I threw the stone, that is, I threw it
As mentioned in the download Hakim: (, Do you most have created or sky built by (27) raise the thickness of Fssoaha (28) and Ogueth that night in and out overnight (29) and the earth after that He spread (30) of which directed its water and pasture (31) and the mountains established (32) chattel you And for your cattle)
I stood at verse 30 of Surat Al-Naza’at and its position in formulating the verses (and the earth then expelled them) so let us send some conclusions ..
First: The Lord of Glory, His Majesty, invented the globe, and it became oval or almost repetitive in shape as we have now .. This event occurred in a specific time period based on the arrangement of the above verses and their formulation which indicates the narration of the chronology of the origin and development of our solar system stage by stage The other, including the planet Earth in its first form .. In addition to the sound effect of the conscience distraction in the late verses, which enhances the idea of ​​this sequence up to the stage of erasing the earth .. And the thing that we should be aware of is that the verses that follow the stage of erosion suggest that they are the product of this process of erasing In the form of topographic and environmental changes T, after the earth was destroyed and she (her water and pasture was removed from it (31) and the mountains laid it (32) for you and your cattle) in the sense that these events occurred sequentially after the destruction.
Now, let us determine the time for the ritual occurrence .. So we will put the following verses in mind ... The Almighty said in Surah Noah:
I said to ask forgiveness of your Lord, he was Gfara (10) sends the sky you Madrara (11) Amddkm funds and boys and makes you gardens and makes you rivers (12) What you do not hope to God Qara (13) has created you in stages)
When Noah ordered his people to seek forgiveness from their Lord in (so I said ask your Lord for forgiveness that he was forgiving) .. And in the same way in the sequence of the following verses the following verses came to suggest to us that it is a condition answer to the act of seeking forgiveness .. In the sense that the supply of wealth and the wealth To obey Noah, peace be upon him, and to believe and seek forgiveness from their Lord, and that these environmental and terrainous elements did not exist before, but they were later developed .. And from a historical point of view in the pre-Flood era, neither the human nor his historical name was the sane, erect sane .. He has settled environmentally and this The promises that Noah promised to There are signs of human stability, and this will become clear later .. But it was stable and mentally complete so that he became eligible to be revealed to him and in the phoneme composition of the name of Noah is a sign of this, so the era of Noah was the beginning of the divine revelation for humans and the pre-writing era .. The only culture at that time was The ability of a person to set fire to something that constituted a social shift, which was a reason for people to gather around it. Here, I remember the saying of Moses, peace be upon him (that I am a fire), who also in turn was the first step in the scale of building societies and clarifying the concept of the family .. Therefore the content of the message of Noah, peace be upon him, was unification And parents,
Now we will translate all of these conclusions physically and connect the rings together.
Physics says that the Earth completes a complete cycle around the sun in a relatively irregular and elliptical orbit whenever 365.25 revolves around its axis and revolve around its axis at an angle of 23.5 degrees with respect to the perpendicular to the Earth's equator with the center of the sun All of this system works in a very accurate arithmetic way, but suppose Just one thing:
  This axial slope did not exist and the Earth rotated vertically at an angle of Milan
  Then the earth will receive sunlight equally throughout all of it, which makes the day and night completely equal and the temperature is relatively stable and most areas are completely frozen in addition to the absence of the phenomenon of the four seasons and the climate will be a summer and winter successive every half of the cycle around the sun and will be There are consecutive eclipses and eclipses every two weeks, and the environmental conditions will be very harsh .. And these perceptions were the environment in which Noah and his people lived completely, so he promised them stability of life .. This was the form of life before the great flood and I will explain that
..And let’s start with Noah’s life mentioned in the Wise Download:
(And we sent Noah to his people, and he lived there for a thousand years, except for fifty years, so the flood took them and they are unjust) (14)
And here the term year and year is mentioned in describing the time spent in his people and the difference between them that the year is the unit of time associated with the occurrence of a specific recurring phenomenon that people enacted and agreed upon .. while the year is the calculation of the time period that begins with the occurrence of a specific event until the end of it, such as the school year for example That is why it is strange for us that Noah lived more than nine hundred years in relation to our calculation of time in our time in the solar year, and it is logical that Noah's era does not have the scientific tools to know that the earth revolves around the sun and also does not have the four seasons of the year as we previously assumed. The Earth was not tilted yet, and they did not They know that the earth revolves around its axis from the foundation .. Therefore, the age of Noah mentioned in the download is calculated by their units they are not .. If we compute the repeated phenomena for them we will find them are the alternation of night and day equally and two phenomena of eclipses and eclipses respectively every two weeks and the summer and winter coups every half of a cycle Around the sun, i.e. six months with our calculation, if we exclude the phenomenon of the two seasons because of its inaccuracy, the only logical phenomenon for calculating the Sunnah they have is the sequence of eclipses and eclipses, meaning that their year equals 14 solar days with our current account, and therefore I estimate Noah's message period less than 40 years from our years, we note that the download indicated How long was Noah's message It is not only his full age, and for the year they have, it is clear that it is a unit smaller than the year, and that the year is divided into a number of more than fifty units, which is the year and is calculated during the day.
Thus, when the Earth was destroyed, the reason was that it was possible for the Lord of Glory, the Majesty, to change the direction of the Earth’s rotation around its axis at an angle of 23.5. Thus there was a disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic field, and the center of the Earth’s gravity changed and the Earth’s magnetic field was dispersed, which affected the Earth’s gravitational force near the Moon Equal, so the shape of the moon changed, which in turn also caused a change in the center of gravity of the moon, which is now a distance below the center of the moon’s mass point. This change affected the strength of the moon’s gravity for us, which led to a change in the shape of the Earth, which became semi-spherical and has two dents as we see it today, and this was done. Operation process Noah's era, peace be upon him, and that was the miracle of Noah, and accordingly, his prophecy and promise were fulfilled. Because of this pivotal deviation of the earth, the angle of sunlight fall to the earth changed, and the night became shorter than the day, and temperatures rose in the icy areas, which led to its melting and moderate wind speed So that the rain was formed and these two reasons were the source of the great flood water and the evidence: (So we opened the gates of heaven with poured water (11), and the earth blew us with eyes, then the ark of the ark was raised) For seasonal and fruitful pastures and pastures due to the appearance of spring and autumnal equinoxes, thus agriculture flourished since that time. It is worth noting that the removal of the cattle was after the flood because the agricultural climate and the grassy nature were available, so cattle and animals were attracted and the evidence was: (out of it their water and pastures), and it is also a staggering (30) Fruits and Fathers (31) pleasures for you and your cattle (It is worth noting that it was not mentioned in all places in the story of Noah in the Holy Book ... And another thing happened and because of the sudden deviation of the earth there was turmoil and trembling in its movement, so the Lord of Glory is established Except It is a disturbance that the mountains are shrouded in them until their movement is stabilized and the evidence is established (and the mountains have established them). The divine process of calming the calm movement of the globe.
Here are some other clues that support the theory:
• Noah, peace be upon him, said to his Lord in Surah Noah (the Lord said that I called my people night and day (5)) It is strange that he mentioned the period of his call to them by night and day in this equal manner considering that in the night there is rest and stillness for people .. but only in the case that it was The night is really equal to the day, and this is what we assumed before the occurrence of worms.
• Hood said to his people (and remember it made you successors after the people of Noah and added one more in the creation Basta remember the agents of God, that ye may prosper (69)) and Basta in the creation means that their bodies have become bigger and more powerful compared to a people of Noah, and this is because of the physical mutation that occurred due to the impact of Increasing the Moon's gravitational force.
• After calling him to board the ship, Ibn Noah said (He said that I would equate to a mountain that protects me from the water) and in this response is a sign that the mountains after God shook the earth upon them and they saw that was an amazing and strange thing for them, so Ibn Noah thought that it would be illusory when God described the power and shape of the flood waves in the mountains in Surat Hood, which is more terrifying.
• Noah reminded his people of the stages of development in God’s creation and ability so that they would not be surprised by the development of their promised lives and likening them to the process of germination as gardens and fruits will grow for them (what for you do not hope for God as reverent (13) and may He be the best of all). Heavens in a layer (15) and made the moon in them a light and made the sun a lamp (16), and God made you from the earth plants.
• In Surat Hud and the Believers, the wise remembrance mentioned the description of the beginning of the flood in the desert of the enlightenment (even when our command came and the enlightenment fled, we said: I carry in it from each of the two wives, and the two of them have used it.) The likeness is that it is very similar to the shape of the planet earth, in addition to that, after its construction is complete, it is always placed in a diagonal shape similar to the inclination of the earth .. And the advantage of the Holy Qur’an in analogy is that it is similar to something that exists for people before their eyes at the time of the descent of the Holy Qur’an and the Arabs know the enlightenment well and the people of Iraq Special .
• If we follow the sites where the mountains were mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, we will notice a clear distinction between the entity of the mountains and the earth, and they were two completely different elements (for example, the land and the mountains were loaded with a single bench and a number of branches). Primitive or benefit from it even though it is a prominent teacher and was mentioned only during the occurrence of the flood while I used it and returned after them.

We want a baby!
My husband, Cam, and I have been trying to make a baby for over one year now. I had a history of ovarian cysts so I was worried about fertility even before we started trying. I overthink things a lot and get stuck in my head, but I also love going to the doctor, so I figured why not go get checked out. My mom got pregnant with my sister and I very quickly. My sister got pregnant very quickly with all three of her kids. Other than the occasional cyst, there was no reason for me to worry. In Fall of 2017 I went to my family doctor and asked if there were any preliminary tests I should do to see if I’ll have a high risk pregnancy or have trouble getting pregnant. We did a pap smear and progesterone test and that was it. I was told my progesterone was low but aside from that everything was totally normal and we should have no issue getting pregnant. Cam and I were engaged at the time, but knew we wanted to start trying for kids pretty early on in our marriage. We started in February 2018 with the mindset of “if it happens, it happens.” We were both pretty uninformed at that point. I wasn’t really tracking ovulation or any other daily symptoms, we weren’t scheduling sex, it was literally just not using any kind of birth control method. We got eloped in April, and my next period was due at the beginning of May. I missed it! I took a pregnancy test every day from the first day of my missed period for a week….all negative. I called my OB and scheduled a blood test, there’s no way my cycle is this long, it’s been almost 40 days, I’m for sure pregnant. I was so excited. I started planning how I was going to tell Cam, my family, his family, how I was going to hide it for the next 8 weeks, everything! The blood test came back...also negative. My OB told me I was not pregnant and that since my cycles usually lasted 32-37 days this was “normal.” Turns out I just didn’t ovulate that month, my cycle lasted 58 days. That crushed me. That was not normal. While I was waiting for my next period I decided we should buckle down more. I did my research and we started trying every other day during ovulation. This new schedule threw Cam off a bit, he was under the impression that I was fertile every single day. I blame California sex ed, I had the actual sex talk with one of his friends a few months later. When Cam and I were both on the same page we both agreed we would officially start trying. I scheduled another appointment in July after I’d had another full cycle. I wanted to know what to do next. Am I just not going to ovulate regularly anymore? Are my eggs bad now? I’m only 27, why is this happening? My OB gave me a list of tests and medicines we could do before referring me to a fertility specialist. Insurance doesn’t usually cover anything with fertility and if we did everything it would cost in the thousands.I had a thyroid test, hormone tests, an ultrasound, and HCG test where they insert a dye into the uterus and see if it there are any blockages (that one hurt effing bad) all between July and January. I started Clomid in November, a hormonal pill to induce egg production. We did two rounds, with no luck. By this point I was frustrated and crying every time I got my period and it was taking a toll on our relationship. Every period felt like a loss. Between being sad a lot of the time, losing drive to help out around the house, and not talking about how I was feeling with Cam, we struggled. We had some long conversations, and what I was reading as him not caring, was him trying to be strong for both of us. We have gone to couples counseling previously so we were able to use tools from that to help us through this. I asked to be referred to a fertility clinic. My OB prescribed me one more round of clomid and sent us on our way to our local fertility clinic. Even though I had specifically asked for one more round of clomid, I didn’t end up taking it. After such a long period of time of scheduling intercourse...it was taking a negative toll on our relationship. We took a one month break from trying before seeing the specialist. Before we could go to our first appointment, Cam had to go get tested. He was bizarrely excited to go and bragged to his friends that he was going to the “spank bank.” LOL His results came back great and we were ready to get started on our fertility treatment plan. Our doctor is great, we were pretty positive about our chances of conceiving and laid out a plan for the next few months. He also explained why exactly we were having trouble...which I had never really received a clear answer from my OB so I didn’t know it was even figured out! I have PCOS which is commonly misdiagnosed as Endometriosis. I have acne, struggle with weight gain, have irregular periods, and I don’t always release fully developed eggs or an egg at all (hence 58 day cycle). My cysts were being caused by underdeveloped eggs essentially burying themselves in my ovaries. For the next 3 months I would take Femara (another fertility drug). The first month we would try on our own, the next two would be with intrauterine insemination, or IUI. The doctor seemed very confident that we would be able to conceive on the first try. We left feeling confident and with lots of fun paperwork outlining our instructions. -Take Femara as prescribed on days 3-7 of your cycle -Have intercourse on day 10 or 11 -Abstain until you see a surge on an ovulation test -Take ovulation tests days 12-15 -Have intercourse every 36 hrs once you surge - If you do not surge, call the office Romantic, right? We got to day 13 and I was getting nervous. What if we missed it? What if my surge doesn’t read? Did I do this round of Femara for nothing? Cam called the fertility clinic, they told us to go ahead and start trying every 36 hours, and continue testing. Day 16 came and I still hadn’t had a surge, I called in and they told me to come to the office that morning for an ultrasound. The tech said I had “a very good looking egg ready to release any day now.” Perfect! I went in for another progesterone test the following week and it was higher than it ever had been before! This is the month, it had to be, everything was looking good! 11 days later my period started. I was crushed again, but I didn’t cry much this time. I don’t know how to explain exactly how I felt. All I know is this meant we were done trying on our own. It was the end of the road for conceiving even a little bit naturally. We were one step closer to IVF, or surgery, or adoption. Don’t get me wrong, we’re open to all of those, and want to adopt in the future regardless. But not yet, I want this.

the gift that keeps on giving
HAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5F6KgFgnGc
Bro: Awww, babe.
HAL: Happy birthday, I love you.
> Are you actually grinning? > Yes. Bro: I love you too, you big fuckin gay.  Happy birthday.
> He better fucking be. So are you. HAL: Only the gayest for you. A brotherly I love you goes out too Dave as well though. Get your special birthday coffee, it's made with love and all the good shit.
😎 : thanks 😎 : not watching the vid tho
HAL: Fair. I can sing for you in person.
Bro: Birthday request. Bro: Sing it in early Vocaloids Kaito voice. Bro: Before the revamp that made him halfway tolerable.
HAL: Consider it done.
Bro: I love you so much.
HAL: Downloading the voice pack as we speak. HAL: Also: I made scrambled eggs, get your protein in boys.
😎 : god
Bro: Love me some Egg™ in the morning.
HAL: I know you love eggs, babe.
😎 : yeah alright i love eggs too gimme that good shit
HAL: Come eat up my delicious eggs. HAL: Also get your presents.
Dave 9:07 PM
> Well damn it alright you're getting up and head to the kitchen to get your coffee. And eggs. And presents.
Hal 9:18 PM
> You find one (1) Robo bro sitting at the table with coffe for you and one (1) present with your name on it. It is neatly wrapped in red paper. There is one (1)  other present on the table but it is orange and says "Dirk". Guess who it belongs to.
Dave 9:21 PM
> You got two boxes squeeze under your arm yourself, which you slip onto your lap as you take a seat on the table. Obviously you grab the orange one with a totally not shit eating grin. "Cool thanks man."
Hal 9:23 PM
"Dave, are you 100% sure you want to see what I am gifting Dirk?" > You give him a patented "It's hardcore porn" look. That's a thing, yeah.
Dave 9:26 PM
"You think I'm a coward?" > You put the orange present aside tho, mostly because you never planned to open it anyway. Instead you reach for the coffee that's probably for you. And anxiously stare at the box that's for you. You want to open it, but do you want to open it in front of Hal?
Hal 9:28 PM
"You are allowed to open your presents, you know?" > Don't be a coward Dave, get your tiny robot crocodile.
Dave 9:30 PM
"Really?? Explain." Are you stalling or being a little shit? The answer is both.
Hal 9:31 PM
"I hear it's human tradition to open up your birthday presents when you receive them. I am not an expert, of course."
Dave 9:32 PM
"Sounds fake but okay." Fiiine you reach for the present and.. actually.. unwrap it really carefully.
Hal 9:33 PM
> Actually lowkey anxious about the reaction. You didn't get to give many presents in your life so far. Not that it shows though, you have the same resting bitch face as usual.
Dave 9:39 PM
> Well, when you got it unwrapped you actually find a what. Tiny metal crocodile? For real??? > You carefully take it out of the box like its out of glass or something. You're totally quiet, but only out of fascination. Damn, that's. Cool. Your grin grows wider as you look at it from all directions.
Hal 9:41 PM
> The tiny crocodile starts moving and making sounds. It sounds a bit like..."Nak." How peculiar. "Thought you could use a little friend."
Dave 9:55 PM
It moves. Your mouth actually drops open. Holy s h i t. This is like all the cool toys on the kids tv ads you could never have, except even better. "Whaaat." You give it some little pets to watch its reaction.
Hal 9:59 PM
It naks some more and wiggles a little. It's not exactly a complex work of robotics, it's just a cute little toy. But it's made with love. You are most definitely smiling watching this though. Seems like he likes it, good.
Dave 10:24 PM
God do you love it. You actually spend a few good few minutes playing with ity totally forgetting about your coffee and your own presents. Eventually you realize you're not really alone. "This is.. so amazing... man, thanks.."
Hal 10:32 PM
The most shit eating robot grin. Fuck yeah, you are rocking this presents shit. Of course you are, you are amazing. "They say self made presents are the best after all, right?"
Dave 10:53 PM
"..you made this." You're not really surprised, you just.. didn't really think about that. You pull the little crocodile close to your chest in a very strong 'I will cherish this and protect it with my life' gesture. "Thank you. I... I don't have a self-made one for you.." Well, you're feeling a little awkward. There's no way you can compete with a gift like that.
Hal 11:07 PM
"Sure did." Yep, still got the most shit easting grin. Feels great, you could get used to this human emotion called gifting shit. The smile dies when he mentions he has a present for you. Duh, of course, that's two boxes. And yet just the concept of receiving a gift is still alien to you. Fuck. Play it cool, don't look nervous. "Doesn't have to be self made to be totally rad."
Dave 11:15 PM
"Well. It's damn rad if I may say so." Can't fake enough self-confidence to hide how nervous you actually are. You shove the smaller one of the boxes over at him though.
Hal 11:19 PM
There's a comment along the lines of "Oh of course, the smaller one for the lesser bro" comment on your lips but you bite that back. C'mon no, don't be a bitch for once Hal. Not about this, and not when you are excited, o matter how big it is. You can't decide if you are excited or anxious as you open it. Exious.
Dave 11:21 PM
"Hey now, it's not the size that matters." Actually, his gift is the one you specifically bought for him. Caught you a little offguard that you have yet another birthday to celebrate this year, but you wouldn't be you if you didn't manage some last minute baller presents. Inside the package, for the record, is a mug. But not just any, but motherfucking rad unicorn mug. One that changes color with hot beverages.
Tumblr media
Hal at 12:27 AM
Oh. Oh no. It's perfect. It's absolutely perfect and you are glad you are incapable of tears. Fuck. It's stupid, but the fact that he obviously put some thought into that thing? Has you feel some kind of way. Your voices glitches just a little when you speak, betraying just how emotional you are over this thing. Damn it. "It's pretty cool I guess. Thanks."
Dave 12:31 AM
The glitch in the voice actually worries you for a moment. But like. Is that actually an emotional raction? You are having a moment of doubt because the reaction sounds pretty... neutral, but then reassure yourself Hal just isn't one for big emotions. So the fact alone that he doesn't really have it in him to be snarky over the present, that means a lot, right? "You're welcome" you grin.
Hal at 12:48 AM
It means a lot more than you are really capable of reliably expressing. Humans go for hugs in that case right? You hope they do, cause you do that right now. Big old Robo Bro hug for Dave. You pull back like nothing even happened after a minute and your voice is back to normal. "So, how about them eggs?"
Dave 12:57 AM
O-oh, guess he really likes it, huh. You're having some mad proud big bro dokis here. He's back to normal after the hug, but nothing is gonna get this huge grin off your face today. "Yes please."
Hal at 12:58 AM
You wordlessly get that boy some delicious eggs. You'd say something about that grin but...Nah. He deserves that one.
Dave 9:53 PM
You sit there at the table and keep playing with the lil Nakodile until Bro comes. Still got a present for him too, after all!
Bro 10:14 PM
You emerge from your Cave later than intended, as silently as ever; you hadn't managed to start your sleep cycle on time, so you woke up a bit bleary-eyed after 45 minutes of uninterrupted snooze.  Yikes!  But you stretch, and then you ruffle Dave's hair as you slip past him to go straight for that coffee machine. Which is to say, your boyfriend, to give him a good morning kiss.
Dave 10:17 PM
You snort and shove his arm away as he passes you.(edited)
"Morning."
Hal at 10:20 PM
Well damn, and there you had hoped for a full hour. Perhaps another day. He gets a good nice robo smooch and a coffee on top of it. No one can say you aren't the perfect house husband. "Morning, babe. Ready for your happy birthday song?" You did in fact download the vocaloid voicepack he requested. Took a bit with the shitty connection so you  absolutely plan on going through with that shit. And most likely using it at inappropriate times later.
Bro 10:23 PM
"Mornin.  And fuck yes I am." You take the coffee and then take your seat, right next to- oh hey, Lil Cal! When'd you get here?  All seated like a proper gentleman and shit, andd with a little birthday hat to boot.  Nice.  Well, regardless, you're sipping your coffee now. "It's all I could have ever hoped for."
Hal at 10:26 PM
You sing for him, in german of course, and hand him his present. Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Dirk!
Dave 10:31 PM
You sideeye Lil Cal. Nice meeting you again, buddy. Caaarefully pull Nak Jr. away and shield his innocent eyes from this hell doll.
Bro 10:32 PM
Big ol' fuckin grin then.  Aww jeez, the madman really did it.  You ruffle your own hair, just absolutely pleased with this development, before pulling the present open-
Hal at 10:36 PM
You never half ass shit, especially not stupid jokes. In the box Dirk finds a tiny robot pony, complete with cute pink bow. She is perfect if you dare say so yourself. She neighs softly.
Bro 10:37 PM
You, right now:
Tumblr media
Dave 10:38 PM
You watch the unwrapping really curiously and excitedly actually. Hal has already proven he's baller at presents. When you see what's inside though... Oh. Okay. Oh well. That. Hm.....
This is awkward. You just.. sink back into your own seat and keep busy with Nak Jr.
Hal at 10:39 PM
Mission fucking accomplished. You are grinning. Fuck yeah, you are the best at this present shit. Go you.
Bro 10:41 PM
You pull out the little pony and set her down between you and Dave, stroking her back in more than a little bit of awe.  "Fuck yes.  Babe, when the fuck did you have the time..."
Hal at 10:45 PM
"I get bored when you're at work." That's also why you took up cooking. Welp.
Bro 11:00 PM
"Haha, fair enough.  This is fuckin amazing."  You have not yet settled on a Name for the pony,but you know whateveer you're gonna name her is gonna be epic.  "Thanks, babe."
Hal at 11:02 PM
He gets another quick kiss, sorry to get gay on main Dave, but you will have to deal. Talking about Dave, you turn to look at him. "What about your present Dave?"
Dave 11:08 PM
Time to die some more. You shrug dismissively and pull up the other box to hand it over to Bro. "It's nothing special.." That's only half true. You had it up in the storage for a good portion of these five years, waiting for Bro for whenever he'd come back. It seemed fitting, but now you just feel cheap and unoriginal.
Bro 11:19 PM
You take the box, but first, you lay a hand on Dave's wrist, somewhat? comfortingly. "Hey.  I wasn't even expecting a gift.  Anything you get me is special, dude." Which is goddamnedd true.  You haven't really celebrated your birthday in... a long, long time.  So you're delighted, albeit in that cool guy way of yours, as you open up Ddave's gift.
Dave 11:40 PM
It's... reassuring, but you're still anxious. You still give him a hesitant smile as answer. "Alright." Inside the present Bro finds a Barbie horse from like 2012. (One... that can walk. https://youtu.be/mWSmlIx6ydA)
Bro 11:42 PM
Your face, right now:
Tumblr media
Dave 11:48 PM
You're watching him closely and.... that expression... not only relieves you, but makes you smile yourself. Good job? Good job.
Hal at 11:49 PM
Good job. "Jee Dirk, How come your mom let's you have two ponies?"
Bro 11:56 PM
"Because I'm the motherfuckin best." Two ponies.  Two girlfriends.  They're dating now, you've decided, as you make them trot next to one another.  "Y'all didn't have to get me anything,but... thank you.  I fuckin love this."
Dave 11:59 PM
Your Bro is a fucking dork. And you love it. You love how much he loves it. "You're welcome."
December 5, 2018
Bro 12:01 AM
You sip your coffee as you watch the horse girlfriends prance, before glancing at your phone.  You say, "Hey, Dave, you got somewhere you can go for about an hour or two later on?"
Dave 12:07 AM
You give him a very quizzical look. If you didn't know better with how much he's been looking forward to this and planned to cook dinner and all, you could almost think he forgot to get you a present. "Uh, I've been planning to go see Sock for a bit before dinner."
Bro 12:08 AM
"Don't need you gone too long."  Sip your coffee.  "Just long enough to get your gift in here and set up without spoilin the wholeass thing for you."
Dave 12:11 AM
"Yeah, I can head out after noon and come back with Sock later."
Bro 12:13 AM
"Sounds good to me."  You look pointedly to Hal then and say, "Gonna need your help with it, but I'll give your your present then, too."
Hal 12:16 AM
"Oh? Looking forwards to that one, babe." You aren't saying anything about how you can't wait for the birthday sausages you were promised, and Dave better appreciate that.
Dave 12:18 AM
They're saying enough already and you just roll your eyes. "Try not to do the giving presents on the kitchen table" you just say. And then proceed to try and make Nak Jr. ride on the robot horse.
Hal 12:22 AM
"Of course not, dad. We'd never." You can roll your eyes just as good.  Watching him play with the robots makes you smile though.
Bro 12:24 AM
It makes you smile too, though you make no such promises.

Occur You Get Receive, simply In Opportunity For Dessert ...
My publication that refers the Moist Robotic theory - the underlying concept that clarifies exactly how the tasks illustrate above are actually achievable - has been actually out enough time (released 2013) that individuals can now report back to me exactly how the book helped them. I recognized that is the man I wish to be. I intend to enjoy on my own regardless of fat loss, gain, skin layer or even marks. The 1st 2 weeks of the diet regimen are actually incredibly rigorous; with simply 20g from carbohydrates and quick weight-loss, which could most definitely increase inspiration. They are actually blamed for the weight increase, given that when our experts eat carbohydrates, it begins putting our blood sugar up, and that's wonderfully regular, however as our blood sugar starts to increase, the body discharges the hormone insulin. The aspect of impenetrable diet regimen is to carry out whatever opposite from exactly what you been actually informed as well as this OPERATES" it is actually been actually confirmed to work! They state the tension to land a highly-paid project, work 60 hours a week, climb the corporate ladder, raise a family members, reached the gym, and comply with a rigorous diet plan all add to the issue. An Atkins Perk shake is a hassle-free option, or even any low-carb meal that includes a combination of healthy protein as well as carbs, including a tossed salad with your selection from meat, fish or even poultry. For every brand-new diet regimen fad, there is actually individuals that exaggerate this. An over weight pal of mine jumped on the juicing bandwagon as well as I have a hard time preventing him, given that the juices are good for you. I disliked my shower room incrustations for the 1st month, couldn't observe my effective weight loss despite all my tough functions - BUT THEN, that began to, reveal a tiny loss weekly and also now I have shed a stone in body weight and this excellents to currently observe the number on the incrustations showing my loss. Even if your weight has actually not altered substantially, creating muscular tissue and also losing excess fat will certainly alter the curves from your body system therefore your garments accommodate in a different way. The genuine cause a someday rest readies, is actually to proove to your metabolism that the reduced calories on the other 6 times is given that you intend to drop weight, that the low fat consumption isn't because of absence from food items. I ensure many of you have actually wondered about these concerns and also believed that if you could possibly merely start eating a specific diet and stick to that, your troubles would be solved. I am off to obtain my calculator out and useful brand-new barcode scanner to create PointsPlus values on whatever I may get my hands on. http://egeszsegeseletmod-blog.com/normalife-tapasztalatok-hol-lehet-vasarolni-milyen-arat-kell-venni-az-ebay-en-vagy-a-gyarto-honlapjan/ possessed results along with Dukan, it might be the only diet regimen I ever before stayed with. I dropped 30 extra pounds as well as gained back 14. However NOW for the first time in my life, I acquire light-headed when I eat anything at all. After a married couple years of preserving, I continued to wish surgery but held off because my brand new hubby and also I wanted to begin a household. I have to say that really felt really good to perform therefore. That really has actually been actually a long time given that I was actually completely on planning. Finally, possessing cheat dishes assists you to possess a more beneficial relationship along with meals. I decided on the Practical balanced weight-loss diet plan" and also installed it. That is a 57 page PDF report having 28 regular food plans, treat as well as convenience food choices. For variety, Anne Collins has an unique approach of making it possible for a lot more Calories accordinged to how much body weight you need to lose. Author's belief that a plant-based diet plan may certainly not deliver sufficient protein and various other nutrients is not according to standard opinion.
Dariush Mozaffarian: The set from preliminary foods which really possessed no sturdy web link in either case consisted of low fat dairy products yet additionally whole fat deposits milk was toneless relative to weight increase and also cheese was fully toneless. Yet the bottom line is this - if you do not eat, yes, you will lose weight as well as lessen your blood glucose level in style 2 diabetic issues. The Diet Slimming Fragrance by VZ Hair and Beauty is certainly not also the first of its own kind. This drug is in fact a combo from 2 much older drugs that have actually been actually known to aid with weight loss: phentermine as well as topirimate. The moment I located Blogilates and also exactly how gorgeous and certain Cassey was actually, I happened her web site and also discovered a clean eating 90 time meal plan for FREE! So individuals which were monochrome thinkers and also didn't attain their weight objective were actually most likely to back out and state well I can't arrive I may as well not bother in any way. The 17 Day Diet entails adjusting your consumption of carbohydrates, excess fat, protein and also fats over a collection of 17-day patterns, which may possess the effect from improving rate of metabolism and also protecting against the stages that are common along with most diets. My service was actually to consume exactly what college youngsters ate when the body weight grew, I would diet regimen up to just what I believed was actually an appropriate weight simply to gain it back when I quit dieting. I want to try that and also observe if that helps me. I assume the SF will work for me. I did effectively on South Coastline Diet regimen 7 years back. In general terms, the 17 Time Diet regimen is actually a carbohydrate cycling diet wherein you change your consumption from carbohydrates in accordance with whatever stage of the diet you are in. Then, you will definitely manage to customize your planning and also make any type of replacements as necessary. Through controlling parts and calories, Medifast states users may assume to drop around TWENTY pounds in their very first month on the course. The progress could usually be avoided by way of living modifications including nutritional changes, moderate-intensity exercise, as well as small weight management. Now, 8 months later I am actually incredibly delighted with the food items alternatives and the durability this kind of diet regimen. My question is. Do you people stay in phass 1 greater than 17 days then carried on to the various other period or even you completed the planning after that started around again. Adding a protein is actually essential if you wish your soup to serve as a standalone food. Purpose: Our experts contrasted the impact of high energy consumption at lunch time keeping that at dinner on weight-loss and cardiometabolic risk factors in women during a weight-loss program.Design: Obese and also obese girls n = 80; physical body mass mark (BMI; in kg/m2): 27-35; age: 18-45 y were actually inquired to eat either a main meal at lunch time (LM) or even a dinner at supper (DM) for 12 wk while in a weight-loss program. The concern with weight loss diet regimens is actually that people just do not recognize how fat receives broken down, strike the trouble at its own source instead of taking folks term for that. Within a full week from being actually property many of that body weight went over as our company came back to our normal eating routines. I'm certainly not pointing out that some of their diets are fully well-balanced or maybe long-term sustainable, as well as I definitely don't promote eating problems. Some thrive on Veggies others on fruit products others merely on meats others need to have all food kinds ... Regarding the word DIET. if you eliminate the letter T you possess words DIE. LOL involving the slaughter from creatures in Islam. we hope and make sure the animal this comfortable just before fatality. When it comes to exactly what a common time on the Paleo diet plan may include, morning meal might be rushed eggs along with a side from new berries, lunch a fresh tossed salad covered with barbequed chick bust or even shrimp, as well as supper a beef tenderloin with fresh or fit to be tied veggies. The weight decline has blended a small amount, yet I still must lose yet another six kilos.

Contraception Is Free to Women, Except When It’s Not
For Stephanie Force, finding a birth control method that she likes and can get without paying out-of-pocket has been a struggle, despite the Affordable Care Act’s promise of free contraceptives for women and adolescent girls in most health plans.
The 27-year-old physician recruiter in Roanoke, Virginia, was perfectly happy with the NuvaRing, a flexible vaginal ring that women insert monthly to release hormones to prevent pregnancy. But her insurer, Anthem, stopped covering the branded product and switched her to a generic version in early 2020. Force said the new product left her with headaches and feeling irritable and short-tempered.
After talking to her OB-GYN, Force tried an IUD. But that made her feel worse: She had bad cramps, gained 10 pounds and developed severe hormonal acne. Plus, she was charged $248 for an ultrasound her provider used to guide the insertion of the device, a charge she successfully fought.
Force also considered a couple of birth control products approved in recent years: a non-hormonal vaginal gel called Phexxi and a vaginal ring called Annovera that can be used for a year. But Phexxi isn’t covered by her employer health plan, and she would owe a $45 copayment for Annovera.
Despite the ACA’s guarantees of free contraception coverage, Force’s experience illustrates that even for women whose health plans are subject to the law’s requirements, obtaining the right product at no cost can be onerous. New types of contraceptives aren’t automatically incorporated into the federal list of required methods that insurers use to guide coverage decisions. In addition, some health plans continue to discourage use of even long-established methods like IUDs by requiring providers to get approval from the plan before prescribing them.
Consumer advocates who have studied the issue say a process is spelled out in federal rules for women to get the contraceptive they need, but far too few people know that is an option.
Tumblr media
Ultimately, Force went back to the generic version of the NuvaRing, despite the side effects she continues to experience. She’d prefer to be on the branded NuvaRing, which didn’t give her problems, and the ping-ponging from method to method has left her exhausted and furious.
“I cannot believe what hoops I have had to jump through between September 2020 and June 2021,” Force said, “between switching from the generic NuvaRing to the IUD and then back, fighting my insurance and OB-GYN’s office on the ultrasound charge.”
In a statement, Anthem said, “Anthem health plans cover 222 contraceptive products at $0 cost share on our ACA Preventive List. We cover at least one product” in each of 18 categories of contraception methods approved by the FDA.
Contraception is a very personal choice, and what meets one woman’s needs may not meet another’s. If avoiding pregnancy is a woman’s top priority, a virtually fail-safe method like an IUD may be the right solution. But for someone who’s considering getting pregnant soon, a readily reversible method like a birth control pill might be the best option. Side effects are important to consider as well, since women respond differently to the hormones in various birth control products.
Before the ACA required no-cost birth control coverage, researchers estimate, up to 44% of women’s out-of-pocket health care spending went toward contraceptives. The ACA required most commercial health plans to cover a comprehensive list of FDA-approved methods without charging women anything. Church plans and religious nonprofits as well as employers and schools that object to contraception are exempt from the coverage requirements. Plans that were grandfathered under the law are also exempt. Uninsured women don’t benefit from the mandate either.
But the federal rules do not require health plans to cover every contraceptive. After the ACA passed in 2010, the federal Health Resources & Services Administration developed guidelines for women’s preventive services. Those guidelines say women should have access without cost sharing to a list that covers the 18 FDA-approved methods, including oral contraceptives, vaginal rings and cervical caps, IUDs, implantable rods and sterilization. Under federal rules, health plans must cover at least one product in each category.
But neither the HRSA guidelines nor a birth control chart published by the FDA addresses newer methods, including the gel Phexxi, which regulates vaginal acidity to reduce the odds a sperm reaches an egg. It was approved by the FDA last year.
Nor do they incorporate fertility-awareness mobile apps the FDA approved in recent years such as Natural Cycles, which tracks a woman’s temperature and menstrual cycle to avoid pregnancy.
“There’s a real need for new guidance that keeps up with new methods,” said Mara Gandal-Powers, director of birth control access at the National Women’s Law Center.
Many insurers have balked at covering Phexxi, said Rameshwari Gupta, director of strategic markets for Evofem Biosciences, which markets Phexxi. A box of 12 single-use applicators — consumers use one before having sex — costs $267.50 without insurance, she said.
“When I started talking to payers, they all said, ‘Where are you on this FDA chart?’” she said.
According to an FDA spokesperson, the birth control chart is for consumer education purposes only and “was not created with the intent of driving coverage decisions.” The agency is in the process of updating it.
In a statement, HRSA said it is reviewing the evidence on contraceptives and expects to complete its review late this year. If it opts to make revisions, it will publish draft recommendations to update the women’s preventive services guidelines. These will be finalized after a public comment period and become effective a year later.
At this point, health plans consider Phexxi a spermicide and are required to cover only one type of spermicide without cost sharing, said Kristine Grow, a senior vice president at AHIP, a health insurance trade organization.
“If Phexxi is indeed considered a new ‘method’ of contraception, both the FDA and HRSA would need to make this clear,” she added.
The vaginal ring Annovera, approved by the FDA in 2018, is typically covered by health plans, according to Grow, though it may not be available without cost sharing. The average retail price is $2,457 a year, according to GoodRx.
One way plans have made it difficult for women to access certain contraceptives, even those on the list of approved methods, is by requiring that their providers get approval from the insurer first, often by providing documentation that the product is medically necessary.
Under UnitedHealthcare’s coverage policy for Phexxi, for example, before coverage will be authorized, members must have documented reasons that they are unable to use eight other contraceptive methods, including oral contraceptives, the contraceptive patch, a vaginal ring, injections and spermicides. Providers also must attest that they have counseled patients that Phexxi is less effective at preventing pregnancy than some other methods.
In a statement, UHC said it covers “a broad array” of generic and brand-name options, and it follows scientific evidence to develop its list.
Yet consumers have a way to get the specific drug that is most appropriate for them, according to a report by the National Women’s Law Center.
Under federal rules, if a doctor or other health care provider determines that a patient needs a particular contraceptive, even if it’s not on the list of approved products for the patient’s plan, the insurer is required to have an expedient process for the patient to seek a waiver.
“It’s not up to the insurance company whether to cover that method; it’s up to the provider,” said Adam Sonfield, executive editor for policy analysis at the Guttmacher Institute, a research and advocacy organization focused on women’s reproductive health.
But according to the National Women’s Law Center report, many insurers, patients and their providers aren’t aware of the requirement, and state agencies don’t enforce these so-called exceptions policies.
If patients run into trouble getting the method they want, “we typically recommend filing an appeal with their insurance provider,” said Gretchen Borchelt, vice president for reproductive rights and health at the National Women’s Law Center.
Stephanie Force said she was unaware of any process she could have used to get the NuvaRing covered without cost sharing. Neither her health care provider nor the insurer mentioned the possibility.
She recently had an appointment with a new provider, who she hopes will be a better advocate for her.

Consumer advocates who have studied the issue say a process is spelled out in federal rules for women to get the contraceptive they need, but far too few people know that is an option.
Tumblr media
Ultimately, Force went back to the generic version of the NuvaRing, despite the side effects she continues to experience. She’d prefer to be on the branded NuvaRing, which didn’t give her problems, and the ping-ponging from method to method has left her exhausted and furious.
“I cannot believe what hoops I have had to jump through between September 2020 and June 2021,” Force said, “between switching from the generic NuvaRing to the IUD and then back, fighting my insurance and OB-GYN’s office on the ultrasound charge.”
In a statement, Anthem said, “Anthem health plans cover 222 contraceptive products at $0 cost share on our ACA Preventive List. We cover at least one product” in each of 18 categories of contraception methods approved by the FDA.
Contraception is a very personal choice, and what meets one woman’s needs may not meet another’s. If avoiding pregnancy is a woman’s top priority, a virtually fail-safe method like an IUD may be the right solution. But for someone who’s considering getting pregnant soon, a readily reversible method like a birth control pill might be the best option. Side effects are important to consider as well, since women respond differently to the hormones in various birth control products.
Before the ACA required no-cost birth control coverage, researchers estimate, up to 44% of women’s out-of-pocket health care spending went toward contraceptives. The ACA required most commercial health plans to cover a comprehensive list of FDA-approved methods without charging women anything. Church plans and religious nonprofits as well as employers and schools that object to contraception are exempt from the coverage requirements. Plans that were grandfathered under the law are also exempt. Uninsured women don’t benefit from the mandate either.
But the federal rules do not require health plans to cover every contraceptive. After the ACA passed in 2010, the federal Health Resources & Services Administration developed guidelines for women’s preventive services. Those guidelines say women should have access without cost sharing to a list that covers the 18 FDA-approved methods, including oral contraceptives, vaginal rings and cervical caps, IUDs, implantable rods and sterilization. Under federal rules, health plans must cover at least one product in each category.
But neither the HRSA guidelines nor a birth control chart published by the FDA addresses newer methods, including the gel Phexxi, which regulates vaginal acidity to reduce the odds a sperm reaches an egg. It was approved by the FDA last year.
Nor do they incorporate fertility-awareness mobile apps the FDA approved in recent years such as Natural Cycles, which tracks a woman’s temperature and menstrual cycle to avoid pregnancy.
“There’s a real need for new guidance that keeps up with new methods,” said Mara Gandal-Powers, director of birth control access at the National Women’s Law Center.
Many insurers have balked at covering Phexxi, said Rameshwari Gupta, director of strategic markets for Evofem Biosciences, which markets Phexxi. A box of 12 single-use applicators — consumers use one before having sex — costs $267.50 without insurance, she said.
“When I started talking to payers, they all said, ‘Where are you on this FDA chart?’” she said.
According to an FDA spokesperson, the birth control chart is for consumer education purposes only and “was not created with the intent of driving coverage decisions.” The agency is in the process of updating it.
In a statement, HRSA said it is reviewing the evidence on contraceptives and expects to complete its review late this year. If it opts to make revisions, it will publish draft recommendations to update the women’s preventive services guidelines. These will be finalized after a public comment period and become effective a year later.
At this point, health plans consider Phexxi a spermicide and are required to cover only one type of spermicide without cost sharing, said Kristine Grow, a senior vice president at AHIP, a health insurance trade organization.
“If Phexxi is indeed considered a new ‘method’ of contraception, both the FDA and HRSA would need to make this clear,” she added.
The vaginal ring Annovera, approved by the FDA in 2018, is typically covered by health plans, according to Grow, though it may not be available without cost sharing. The average retail price is $2,457 a year, according to GoodRx.
One way plans have made it difficult for women to access certain contraceptives, even those on the list of approved methods, is by requiring that their providers get approval from the insurer first, often by providing documentation that the product is medically necessary.
Under UnitedHealthcare’s coverage policy for Phexxi, for example, before coverage will be authorized, members must have documented reasons that they are unable to use eight other contraceptive methods, including oral contraceptives, the contraceptive patch, a vaginal ring, injections and spermicides. Providers also must attest that they have counseled patients that Phexxi is less effective at preventing pregnancy than some other methods.
In a statement, UHC said it covers “a broad array” of generic and brand-name options, and it follows scientific evidence to develop its list.
Yet consumers have a way to get the specific drug that is most appropriate for them, according to a report by the National Women’s Law Center.
Under federal rules, if a doctor or other health care provider determines that a patient needs a particular contraceptive, even if it’s not on the list of approved products for the patient’s plan, the insurer is required to have an expedient process for the patient to seek a waiver.
“It’s not up to the insurance company whether to cover that method; it’s up to the provider,” said Adam Sonfield, executive editor for policy analysis at the Guttmacher Institute, a research and advocacy organization focused on women’s reproductive health.
But according to the National Women’s Law Center report, many insurers, patients and their providers aren’t aware of the requirement, and state agencies don’t enforce these so-called exceptions policies.
If patients run into trouble getting the method they want, “we typically recommend filing an appeal with their insurance provider,” said Gretchen Borchelt, vice president for reproductive rights and health at the National Women’s Law Center.
Stephanie Force said she was unaware of any process she could have used to get the NuvaRing covered without cost sharing. Neither her health care provider nor the insurer mentioned the possibility.
She recently had an appointment with a new provider, who she hopes will be a better advocate for her.

An iPod click wheel game or iPod game is a video game playable on the various versions of the Apple portable media player, the iPod. The original iPod had the game Brick (originally invented by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak) included as an easter egg hidden feature; later firmware versions added it as a menu option. Later revisions of the iPod added three more games in addition to Brick: Parachute, Solitaire, and Music Quiz. These games should not be confused with games for the iPod Touch, which require iOS and are only available on Apple's App Store on iTunes.
History(edit)
In September 2006, the iTunes Store began to offer nine additional games for purchase with the launch of iTunes 7, compatible with the fifth-generation iPod with iPod software 1.2 or later. Those games were Bejeweled, Cubis 2, Mahjong, , Pac-Man, Tetris, Texas Hold 'Em, Vortex, and Zuma. These games were made available for purchase from the iTunes Store for US$4.99 each. In December 2006, two more games were released by EA Mobile at the same price: Royal Solitaire and Sudoku. In February 2007, Ms. Pac-Man was released, followed in April 2007 by iQuiz. Until this time, all the available games could be purchased in a package, with no discount.
In May 2007, Apple released Lost: The Video Game by Gameloft, based on the television show. In June 2007, 'SAT Prep 2008' by Kaplan was introduced as 3 separate educational games based on the subjects of writing, reading, and mathematics. In December 2007, Apple released a classic Sega game, Sonic the Hedgehog, which was originally packaged with the Sega Genesis system in the early 1990s.
With third parties like Namco, Square Enix, EA, Sega, and Hudson Soft all making games for the iPod, Apple's dedicated MP3 player took great steps towards entering the video game handheld console market. Even video game magazines like GamePro and EGM have reviewed and rated most of their games.
The games are in the form of .ipg files (iPod game), which are actually .zip archives in disguise. When unzipped, they reveal executable files along with common audio and image files, leading to the possibility of third-party games, although this never eventuated (with the exception of superficial user-made tweaks). Apple never made a software development kit (SDK) available to the public for iPod-specific development.(1) The iOS SDK covers only iOS on the iPhone and iPod Touch, not traditional iPods.
In October 2011, Apple removed all the click wheel–operated games from its store.

Criticism(edit)
iTunes had come under much criticism due to the UK price of iPod games, GB£3.99 (about US$7.40). Many people from the UK had given the games 1-star ratings, stating that Apple was 'ripping off' Britain.(3)
A similar situation occurred in Australia, where the price was A$7.49, even though the Australian dollar was (at the time) worth more than the US dollar (A$7.49 = US$7.76).
Developers had criticized Apple for not creating a software development kit (SDK) for software developers to create new iPod games; this was likely to keep the digital rights management of iPod games closed.(citation needed) Despite this, it did not prevent users from running an alternative OS on the iPod such as Linux, whereby, for example, there are ports of Doom that will run on fifth-generation iPods. Running Linux on an iPod retains the music-playing functionality of the device while also adding features such as the ability to create voice memos through the headphones.
When the iPod Classic and iPod Nano third generation were released, games which had previously been purchased could not be synced to the new iPods. Understandably, this made many consumers angry due to losing their investment.
It is also notable that after a download had been made for a game, it couldn't have been downloaded again unless a separate purchase was made for the same item.(4) This is different behavior than applications downloaded on the App Store, which can be downloaded an unlimited amount of times. These issues were later fixed, however, making it possible to install any single game on any number of iPods registered under the same account.
Tumblr media
Unofficial games(edit)
Some older iPod units are capable of using replacement firmware such as iPod Linux and Rockbox. These firmware projects can play many other games, including the aforementioned native port of Doom; and, via a native port of the Game BoyemulatorGnuboy, many other games could be played, including Super Mario Bros., Tomb Raider, Mega Man, Kirby, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Street Fighter, and hundreds more.(5)(6)
Games using the ″Notes″ feature(edit)
With the release of the third-generation iPod in 2003, Apple introduced a ″Notes″ feature to the iPod’s firmware. This functionality provided the first opportunity for third-party developers to create simple text and audio games which could be installed and run on an iPod without users needing to replace the official firmware.
With a limit of 1,000 individual .txt files, each with a maximum file size of 4kb, the Notes feature made use of a limited set of html tags. Hyperlinks could also be used to link to other .txt files or folders and play audio files stored on the device.(7) The limitation of available html tags meant that developers were restricted to Choose Your Own Adventure–style text-based games(8) or multiple choice–style quizzes with narrated audio.(9) Subsequently, very few developers used the Notes feature as a way of publishing games.
