What about Sevika as a librarian👀
omg im crying
men and minors dni
it doesn't seem like it'd make sense at first, but if you think about it, it's a quiet job, and sevika loves quiet. it's a way to help people, and i think deep down that's all sevika wants to do. she also loves reading, so it's perfect for her.
sevika in glasses???? omg...
she loves helping people working on research projects. whether it's a kid doing their science fair project or a phd student scouring the shelves for an obscure academic publication. it's like a puzzle for her, scouring the shelves, searching the databases, helping someone find the answers they seek.
she swears she hates kids, but on thursday evenings she can be found reading aloud to the kids who come in for after school activities. the material isn't always appropriate for school aged children-- murder mysteries and horror stories-- but the kids love it and sevika tries to censor herself when she can remember.
she's a huge advocate for all the free services the library offers. always tells people about the electronics available for checkout, the job fairs they host every month.
you come into the library after moving to town, looking to get a new library card for your new city.
sevika's eager to clock out and go home, but she sees you waiting at the tail end of a long line of people wanting to check out books, and she sits her ass right back down in her rolling chair.
when you finally get to the front of the line, sevika gets tongue tied and flustered trying to help you.
you think she's cute, stumbling over her words and repeating your name under her breath when you give it to her.
you notice the little lesbian flag in her pen holder and grin.
"is that yours or is this a co-workers desk?" you ask, nodding to the flag. she chokes.
"m-mine." she grunts out. you grin.
"cool." you say. you pull your keys out of your back pocket, showing her your own pride keychain. "me too." you say. sevika gawks at you for nearly a full minute before she manages to pull her eyes back down to the screen in front of her.
she finishes printing and magnetizing your card, handing it over to you.
"you don't need my number?" you ask. sevika shakes her head no.
"your address and email are enough for a library c--"
"not for the card." you say. sevika freezes. you shrug. "sorry. thought we were flirting a bit." you say, embarrassed, collecting your new card and turning to leave.
"wait!" sevika shouts, scrambling to reach over the desk and grab your wrist. "yes. please. i'll take your number. if you want... to... give it to me." she finishes awkwardly. you grin, and grab a sharpie from her pen holder, jotting your number down on her hand.
she watches you go, ignoring the next customer until you're out of sight.
the first thing she does once you're gone is program your number into her phone, holding a finger up in a 'one second' motion to the patron standing before her.
she gets shit from him for being so slow, but it doesn't even bother her. nothing can bring her down now that she's got your number.
taglist!

Batfam Retail and Character Agency
So I've been thinking about how some people take issue with certain ships in the Batfam, especially in fanfic or general fanon. For example, JaySteph and how people will cry "ince$t" when these two or other characters are paired up in a ship.
One, I don't think these people know how biology/ancestry works because the only blood related members of the Batfam are Bruce, Damian, and Kate Kane despite them being called the BatFAM. Two, most of Bruce's adopted children were older or barely interacted in a sibling way as far as growing up together. Sure, they might have a sibling-coded relationship and are legally related, but the best example I can think of in how the Batfam works is not the Brady Bunch or Cheaper by the Dozen, but that they all are or have been co-workers at the same minimum wage retail store. Friendships, drama, dating, rivalries, and other such nonsense is sure to happen. It's called forced proximity and shared experience.
Tumblr media
I'm thinking of writing up a humorous parallel of who's who in the retail realm when it comes to the Batfam, but including it here would make this post WAY too long
The other annoyance, that I sort of get IF looked at from the POV of DC editorial or writers (if that's their ill-conceived intention), is the idea that a character, more specifically a female character, is just getting "passed around". Instead, my only guess is that whoever is complaining about this is saying that the male character should be given a new, shiny, fresh off the showroom floor love interest and not some high-mileage used model. I use a car reference here because that's exactly how that female is seen when a person says this, whether they acknowledge it or not.
Tumblr media
The female character, for example: Stephanie Brown, is no longer a person with her own autonomy and ability to choose or have agency. She's an object to be owned, possessed, or used for the sake of forwarding the male character's arc or to add drama (e.g. fridging or damsel in distress). To imply that Stephanie Brown (or any other character) is being "passed around" from Tim Drake to Jason Todd is to imply that Steph doesn't have nor did she ever have choice in the matter (again, JaySteph isn't even canon, but if it were to become canon, some people would still have a fit). And yes, these are fictional characters, but in writing them (whether officially by DC or in fanfics) they should be treated as real people with real choices and not some object or virginal "bride" for the male protagonist where you'd retcon past relationships.
Has Stephanie Brown always been treated fairly in comics? No. Has Jason? Also, no. Would pairing these two be some sort of "passing around" or "sloppy seconds" for Jason? If I have to answer that for you or you think 'Yes', then you probably don't see women as people. Canonically, I think Jason has had more love interests so if anything Steph would be the one getting someone else's "sloppy seconds", thirds, fourths, etc.
Tumblr media
Again, see the above about retail co-workers. Steph once dated Tim. It was their first job and their first real, young love. It was good, it was bad, they made out in the break room, they broke up in the middle of Customer Service, etc. Former employee, Jason, comes by and picks up random shifts when Bruce is really desperate. Steph and Jason meet and hang-out over a few shifts, even though Bruce doesn't trust either of them and would rather they work somewhere else. Maybe they got stuck working Black Friday and the holidays together and boom, sparks happened. It's maybe weird or awkward for Tim, but Tim fell in love with the snack and soda machine vendor, Bernard, so it's really no big deal.
So if someone can date their co-worker, break-up, and then date another co-worker, it should be none of your damn business (assuming everything is legal, consenting, and above board) if none of those people are you.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

Welcome!
It’s come to my attention I don’t have an intro post (could’ve sworn I did but it’s disappeared somewhere) so here it is :)
NOTE: Fam FAQ under the cut :D
Hello!
You can call me Arthur or Art
He/him 🏳️‍⚧️ (pronouns.page)
Peppa pig was not my sexual awakening she just made me sound British. Yes I’m the guy who gave the Good Omens Mascot dad issues. No comment.
I’m aroace but it’s all a bit hand wavy, autistic, trans masc, and overall a bit of a mess. Enjoy my flailing.
I write fics sometimes
Primarily a Good Omens blog, with a hefty serving of shitposting and family drama.
DMs and asks are open, I’m always up for a chat. I mean it. Tap on the glass. TAP ON IT.
Fic or chapter suggestions and fic recs are also welcome!
More info under the cut (fandoms, other sites, tags)
Fandoms I’m into right now:
Good Omens (primarily)
Doctor Who
Sherlock & Co
And various other random stuff if I feel like it
Other things I post/rb about:
Asexuality
Neurodivergence
Writing
Adoptive family drama (under #the fam)
And shitpostery.
Other sites I’m on:
AO3
Discord - DM me for that if you’d like it
The Fam FAQ
It terrifies me that this is at a point that I must make an FAQ, but I will.
"Arthur, what the fuck is the fam?" you ask.
I don't know either. All I know is I've managed to amass several adoptive children, a mother, a brother, multiple niblings, a wine aunt, and a reputation.
I'm your dad. Your cishet deadbeat dad. That is the extent of the information available to my bewildered brain.
"How can I join the fam? Do I need to be good friends with you?"
Just send me an ask!!
Good news, the fam is like a subway sandwich: there are so many options available to you and you don't need to know the names of any of them to point and go "hey underpaid customer service worker, I want that one". Point is, I love you, welcome to the fam.
"But Arthur, what's my role?"
*Commercial voice* To chose from, you have...
adoptive child (very popular option. i will call you champ whether you like it or not. and bonus: chat with me over games of catch or golf like a true cishet dad does, and permanently be a better child than @weirdly-specific-but-ok will ever be)
nibling (general version of niece/nephew) (join @queermarzipan and @hoarder-of-dragons, i will still call you champ even though im your uncle)
grandparent (aka one of my or my (absent) wife's parents, this is @hell-hath-no-fury-like-love, my disapproving mother)
sibling (be the weird aunt/uncle to, like, seven or more strange and traumatised children)
by request, you can also become an in-law if you find a willing maggot to marry (@random-doctor-on-the-internet happy now)
i can't think of any other relations but if you come up with one YOU ARE COMPLETELY FREE TO CLAIM IT
you can be anything -- in the end of the day, you'll always be better than @weirdly-specific-but-ok :D
My tags:
#let me tempt queue — queue tag
These others I really should implement but half the time I forget. Good luck.
#arter speaks — my own posts
#arter writes — any sort of writing or prose I end up doing
#arter flails — long reblog chains, general idiocy
#arter gets needlessly patriotic — I somehow seem to post a lot about australia. I don’t even like it here.
#the fam — I have somehow managed to adopt several children, I try to tag our shenanigans with this for Memories, feel free to block it as they often take the form of very long rb chains
#arthur's snazzy gomens teacher au -- what it says on the box. Tags for my good omens teacher AU: "Love As A Hallway And Several Novelty Mugs".
#arthur’s numerous adoptive children #and niblings — adoption records
Don’t really have any others. This blog is as unorganised as my thought process.

All the attention in Washington is on the looming government shutdown, and understandably so.
Barring a last-minute spending agreement on Capitol Hill ― which is to say, barring a last-minute outburst of sanity by the extremist House Republicans preventing an agreement ― the federal government will officially run out of spending authority at 11:59 p.m. Saturday night.
Agency workers will be furloughed, except for members of the military, air traffic controllers and other essential employees who will have to work without pay. And while the federal government will keep issuing checks for automatic entitlements like Social Security, within a few days it will have to cut off funds for the Women, Infants and Children system that provides food benefits to 7 million low-income Americans. A prolonged shutdown would affect still more federal services, and likely deal a blow to the economy as well. But whether or not a shutdown happens, and however long it lasts, a whole other kind of fiscal shock is about to hit the country. And while its effects will materialize more slowly than the shutdown’s, they could be more long-lasting.
I’m talking about the end of billions in emergency funding for child care that the federal government has been providing since 2021, as part of its COVID-19 relief efforts. The money was a lifeline for providers who were getting hammered, first by a decline in customers because of illness and public health closures and since then by the need to pay the higher wages it takes to compete for workers in a tighter labor market.
That money also runs out at midnight Saturday, creating what has come to be known in Washington as the “child care funding cliff.” The term is slightly misleading: Because of the way the disbursements move from the U.S. Treasury to states and then to individual providers, the effect will be gradual. But it will be real and it will likely be significant, because providers still need money. They and the families that rely on them were struggling even before the pandemic, because of the inescapable, seemingly paradoxical economics of child care: Reliable, quality programs require salaries high enough to attract and keep talented workers, but the tuition and fees to support those salaries are more than many families can afford on their own. And the gap is probably even bigger now than it was a few years ago.
In that sense, the emergency funding was more like a Band-Aid on a wound that had been bleeding for a while and is still bleeding now. With no more Band-Aid — i.e., no more emergency funding — providers will react by reducing hours or staff, or charging more to families that are already struggling to pay, or shutting down altogether.
Predicting the precise impact is difficult, because the child care market is in such flux. A widely cited estimate by The Century Foundation says the end result could be as many as 3.2 million fewer child care slots. Critics say that’s wildly inflated.
But whichever view is closer to reality, it’s hard to imagine so much money coming out of the sector without providers and families feeling it. The economy could take a hit too, if affected parents cut back their own working hours or drop out of the labor force, though it’s likely many would simply return to more stressful double shifts as workers and caregivers — in other words, a replay of what happened to so many at the peak of the pandemic.
Precisely because it will take a while for the federal money to stop working its way through to providers, Congress still has some time to approve new funding, as Democratic leaders and their allies have been proposing with increasing urgency. But they won’t prevail unless even more elected officials — and the public at large — come to see child care as the kind of national priority the U.S. has never made it.

26 for Nicky and 40 for Lucky?
Thank you my comrade in Bored at Work :)
26. How does your character behave around children?
Nick has a pretty big soft spot for kids and feels very protective over them, whether they’re little or teenagers. Appearances and history of military experience factored in, he knows he can come across as intimidating and scary if he was careless about his own behavior, so he tries to counteract it by projecting a lot of calm, patient, and quiet energy … pretty much the same way he behaves with horses, and Lucky tbh.
The wasteland being the wasteland, some of the kids he’s met were trying to kill or rob him. His soft spot is extra wide in these cases because he’s pretty keenly aware of how bad being in that situation when he was their age fucked him up and deteriorated his relationship with his own life and future, so he’s more willing to put himself in danger to ‘real talk’ them out of fighting him than in any other situation.
40. How does your character treat service workers
Unfortunately it’s a mixed bag. Lucky has empathy for people in the service industry because he can commiserate with their experience of employment being a mailman himself, and before being shot in the head he used to be more gracious towards most people in most cases.
After the head injury … he lacks introspection and self awareness about his behavior and how he comes across, so he can be blunt, entitled, and immature fully without realizing it and for no gain whatsoever. He just doesn’t have the tools anymore to taste words before they’re out of his mouth. Being a customer would only exacerbate this, and he’ll need to be taken out by the scruff by his ~bodyguard~ and told flatly he’s being a dick ( and how ) before he starts behaving better towards people he wants things from.

I think it's kind of fascinating the way language changes, and how words and phrases change over time. I think it's interesting how society has twisted certain sayings in particular.
Like these ones:
The customer is always right.
It has come to defend customers being abusive to employees and basically allowed to do and say whatever they want, because they're the one buying stuff and contributing to the business or some such bull. The actual saying was:
"The customer is always right in matters of taste"
Meaning that the customer knows what they want. If the customer is willing to buy it, then you should sell it. If no one is buying the product, you have to either change the product, find a new product, or find a new target market. It was more of a business marketing statement. It was never intended to allow people to bully and abuse customer service workers.
Jack of all trades
This one has sort of navigated back to its original tone, at least the way I've seen it used lately. But it did wonder for a while to the derogatory,
"Jack of all trades, master of none"
Meaning, as I perceived it, to say that sure you can do a few things but none of it good enough to be worth anything. The actual saying is:
"Jack of all trades, master of none, but still better than a master of one"
Meaning, it is better to know how to do a bunch of things well, than one thing perfectly. Which works for physical and intellectual topics. If you know a little about a variety of things you are better equipped to confidently take on the problems or tasks presented to you. Which is pretty neat. It also reminds me of a saying my greataunt always used, which was, 'it's good enough for government work.' Which is to say, maybe it's not perfect, but it gets the job done.'
Curiosity killed the cat
This one can be seen as somewhat sinister, especially in the context of its original quote. This shortened phrase had been used as a cautionary statement to say 'don't ask.' It has been used by some as an attempt to ward people from questioning things, people, and events. I haven't heard it too often lately, but I used to when I was younger. Although, I think some people used it on kids with good intentions, especially when saying it to young children as a way too keep them out of trouble or danger. Similar to the 'stranger danger' thing, which is how i remember it being used for me. But I have a feeling that this wasn’t the case for everyone. The actual saying was:
"Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back"
Meaning, finding answers and truths, no matter what, is always worth the stuggle. The work we do and the energy we spend looking for answers to problems and questions is always worth it. To me, it means we should always keep asking questions, even if it makes some people uncomfortable. Always keep thinking and discussing, discovering and learning, seeking the truth. Every good answer should lead to another question. Learning is always satisfying, whether it's about societies or history or mechanics or the science of stars or biology or whatever.
I think the quote can be used as a caution, but in a good way. Sometimes asking questions can be dangerous. Certain fields require work in dangerous environments and situations. Some Scientists and Journalists, in the past and present, literally put their lives on the line for knowledge. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't ask those questions and search for the answers.
It was supposed to be inspirational and driving. It wasn’t originally meant as a cautionary statement. It was supposed to inspire questions, not prevent them. I love this quote, because I love knowing stuff and understanding how things work. And I think knowing the truth of how things happen and why things work is extremely important. I always thought the shortened quote was kinda dumb, even as a kid.
I just thought it was really interesting. Language is wierd, but pretty cool. How society and language interact, I think, is endlessly fascinating. I think this is termed 'etymology' the science of language and how it works and changes over time. Which is really cool!
That's my ramble for the week.
Please feel free to add if Y'all got more!

Legal Assistance for Migrant Women
The legal system can be complex and confusing for migrant women. They often need support to self-represent in Court. There are a range of programs provided by government bodies and universities to help these individuals.
These include a free government telephone service, LawAccess NSW. They also provide online information and detailed guides on how to represent yourself in Court.
Duty Barrister Scheme
Every day a barrister is on 'duty' at the court to advise and if appropriate represent you. They can help you with criminal or civil matters in Magistrates and Children's Courts.
They can also hold a case conference with the prosecutor on your court date and discuss ways to settle your matter without going to trial. This may include the prosecution agreeing to drop charges, or offering community service or a noncustodial sentence.
A duty lawyer can also help you complete a Legal Assistance Sydney aid application. They can work out whether you are eligible, and submit your application for you. You will need to provide evidence of your financial situation, and documents relating to your legal matter. This includes information about any support you receive from others, as this will be taken into account in the means test.
LawAccess NSW
LawAccess NSW is a free government telephone service that provides legal information and referrals for NSW residents. It is a targeted service and is specifically aimed at persons who have difficulty accessing other public legal services such as those living in regional and rural areas, Aboriginal people and those with a disability.
From 2002 to 2004, inquiries relating to children (family law), criminal offences and housing issues increased significantly. Inquiries relating to employment, credit/debt, wills/estates and the legal system declined.
The majority of enquiries referred by LawAccess NSW are directed to public legal assistance services. Three out of four inquiries referred are to Legal Aid NSW with the remaining referring to courts and tribunals, community legal centres, private lawyers and dispute resolution services. LawAccess NSW also has a number of initiatives to ensure it is accessible and responsive to customers including providing an online chat service.
Community Legal Centres
Community Legal Centres are independent not-for-profit community organisations that provide equitable and accessible legal and related services to the general public. They often service a geographic catchment area and have specialist services for specific groups of people such as family violence victims, the elderly, children and refugees.
Some CLCs are generalist and can assist with a wide range of matters, while others focus on particular areas of law such as credit and debt, employment, tenancy and housing. Some also have after-hours clinics and phone advice lines.
If you cannot afford a private solicitor, the Law Society of NSW can put you in touch with firms who will provide services for free or at reduced rates. Visit their website to find a solicitor referral service in your area.
Private Lawyers
The national legal aid system provides free and accessible legal help for people with the greatest legal need. This is funded through a National Legal Assistance Partnership (NLAP) agreement between the Australian Government and states and territories.
Community legal centres provide free information, referrals, advocacy, advice and representation services. They also offer specialised services for particular groups such as seniors and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The MHAS service provides free legal advice and representation for people with mental health issues. It can help you to challenge decisions about your treatment and care made by an Authorised Medical Officer, Social Worker or Public Trustee. It can also assist you with disputes about housing and debt and review or appeal proceedings at the Mental Health Review Tribunal.
Legal Aid NSW
If you can't afford to pay for a Lawyers Hurstville, you may be eligible for legal aid. The government agency will pay for your lawyers fees if you meet strict criteria. If you're not sure whether you're eligible, it's best to speak to a qualified lawyer.
The organisation carries out a range of reviews of its services to ensure they are effective and responsive to current and projected client service needs. These include a review of mental health advocacy services completed in 2006, and a committee established to implement accepted recommendations.
The Coronial Inquest Unit was established on a pilot basis in early 2006. It was made permanent after evaluation. A new program for Aboriginal clients is being implemented. NLAF is progressing a program to train interpreters for community legal centres.

Talking about Battery Replacement Cabinet Software from Battery Replacement Cabinet Manufacturers
Before sales, customer service colleagues provided feedback that many customer friends were not very familiar with our software products. Based on this, I will ask: What problem does software solve? What are the software doing now? What is the ultimate goal of software? Here are three questions to give you a general introduction to our software on the Hexup.
Before discussing the battery swapping software, let's first introduce the relationship between our Hexup and the battery swapping market.
At present, we are engaged in light vehicle battery swapping on the Hexup, mainly as a solution provider for two wheeled vehicle battery swapping business. Two wheeled vehicle battery swapping refers to a mode of providing battery swapping services for electric bicycles or motorcycles. In this mode, when the vehicle battery is depleted, the owner can quickly replace a fully charged new battery at a dedicated battery swapping station, without spending a long time waiting for the battery to fully charge like traditional charging. The customer group for battery swapping services for two wheeled electric vehicles is mainly divided into B-end customers, C-end customers, and S-end customers.
Tumblr media
The B-end is mainly aimed at people who frequently use electric bicycles or motorcycles for delivery services, such as delivery riders and couriers. They usually need to use the vehicle frequently and over long distances, and have high requirements for battery life and charging convenience. C-end customers refer to customers who travel on a daily basis, such as riding an electric bike for the purpose of going to the supermarket to buy groceries, picking up and dropping off children to and from school, going out for meals, etc. S-end battery swapping refers to shared transportation. In fact, in many cities, the "subway, bus+shared cycling" method is already standard for office workers; Compared to other modes of transportation, taking into account factors such as speed limits and travel costs, using shared electric bicycles for travel within 5 kilometers has more advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and comprehensive experience.
The above three types of users are the main users of the two round battery swapping business and also our passive service group. And our direct customers are merchants who want to do battery swapping business (hereinafter referred to as operators), so what resources do operators who want to do battery swapping business need? What is the entire battery swapping process like? As shown in the figure:
Tumblr media
When the battery is almost depleted, users can open the battery swapping mini program/APP, search and navigate to nearby battery swapping stations, return the low battery by scanning the code, and after a few seconds, other battery swapping stations will automatically pop up fully charged batteries, completing the battery swapping process.
To meet this battery swapping process, the operator needs six resources: battery, battery swapping cabinet, mini program/APP, vehicle, user, and operator. So far, during this process, the Hexup mainly provides the battery swapping cabinet and the software system required for battery swapping. There are two things that operators must do well in order to become bigger: first, they must control asset security issues; The second is to improve service quality. These two points are closely related to the services we currently provide and require our deep involvement. Briefly describe these two points:
The direct manifestation of asset safety issues is battery fires. If a battery catches fire, most of the reason is due to the BMS. As the brain of a battery, BMS needs a set of calculation and control strategies for key parameter indicators (temperature state, state of charge, charge discharge rate, etc.). Secondly, it depends on the battery swapping cabinet and software system, such as whether the cabinet machine turned off the charger and triggered the smoke detector before the fire broke out; Did the software system send a message notification to the operator after the fire broke out, and did the fire extinguishing devices (water fire protection, aerosol) of the cabinet machine start. These are the services that our products on the Hexup need to provide.
Improving service quality is the decisive factor while ensuring asset security. There is a four word formula for the quality of battery swapping services: more, faster, better, and more economical.
"Duo" includes three levels: dense battery swapping points, multiple battery swapping points, and full battery capacity, all of which are indispensable. Network density enables users to easily find replacement stations; Multiple battery replacements are necessary for users to have a battery to replace; The user only needs to replace it when the battery is fully charged. During the peak period of user battery swapping, battery swapping operators need to schedule the battery's busy schedule to maximize the satisfaction of user needs at popular battery swapping points.
"Fast" includes two levels: when users need to change batteries, they need to navigate to the branch quickly, and when they arrive at the branch, they need to change batteries quickly. The ultimate goal of battery swapping is to provide battery swapping services that are comparable to refueling speed, and even make battery swapping more convenient than refueling.
"Good" includes three aspects: a good experience during battery swapping, running far without any malfunctions while driving, and emergency rescue or repair in case of malfunctions. For example, if a user does not have a fully charged battery or needs to queue for a long time when changing batteries, they will not have a good experience. Not being able to run far or suddenly experiencing a power outage during the driving process can affect the services being provided, and if rescue efforts are delayed and unable to arrive, it is not even a good experience.
"Province" includes two levels: low cost of single or monthly battery swapping, and long distance per kilowatt hour of electricity after swapping. "Saving" is a concern for many users, and calculating the "economic account" is essential for smart consumption. At present, light vehicles generally adopt a 299 yuan monthly unlimited battery swapping package, while cars generally use mileage based charging for battery swapping.
The key to improving service quality for operators is the software service system provided by our Hexup. At this point, the conclusion of the first question comes out. The existence of software systems is aimed at assisting operators in better implementing "more fast, better economy" and improving the quality of service provided by operators to customers.
Tumblr media
What are the software teams on the Hexup doing?
So far, it has been aimed at solving the problems of domestic operators and optimizing the current software itself. In addition, development will be arranged according to the specific needs of major clients.
The software provides several battery swapping related products:
Operating system for cabinet machine screen
SaaS backend system used by operators
The battery swapping mini program used by operators' users
The operation and maintenance mini program used by operator maintenance personnel.
As far as the current software is concerned, we have already met the daily operational needs of operators, continuously making deep optimizations in activity management, after-sales management, abnormal data reporting, and other aspects. The software goal has shifted from solving "is this possible" to "is this also possible?!". And the demand has also begun to shrink, software needs to first cultivate "internal skills", and then cultivate "external skills" after mastering internal skills.
What will the software ultimately look like?
Previously, battery swapping products were mainly improved from the hardware dimension of the product, such as increasing cycle times, improving waterproof and anti drop capabilities, and improving the quality of cable plugs. But in the future, hardware issues will no longer be the main direction of product improvement, and the direction of product improvement should be in software. The direction of software optimization, such as the algorithms of BMS, cabinet control system, and platform system, and their collaboration, is to think from the user's perspective on how to improve user experience and satisfaction.
The enterprise that truly wants to establish a foothold and develop in the battery swapping industry must be one that values products, operations, and services. Moreover, the integration of vehicle and electrical cabinets is the future development direction, and the main customer group of operators will gradually transition from B-end riders to C-end users.
According to this principle, the software must support two major business scenarios: "integration of vehicle and electricity" and "separation of vehicle and electricity", and have a set of SaaS systems that cover asset input, operation strategies, and after-sales service improvement. Secondly, it is highly likely that strong operators will have to develop their own business platforms, so we will provide comprehensive communication protocols to connect and use with customers.
Finally, we will do some ecological things based on the capabilities of the upstream and downstream industries, so that operators can only see all other data related to battery swapping on the Hexup software platform. We won't go into detail here. If you want to learn more about battery swapping products, you can contact our customer service personnel on the Hexup official website.

Unpooling Excellence: The Ultimate Guide to Pool Removal
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Adelaide pool removal, where we will explore the importance of removing pools for individuals and businesses. 
We understand that pool removal is a significant decision, and we are here to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed choice. Whether you are looking to reclaim space, reduce maintenance, or improve safety, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Why Remove Your Pool?
Many people choose to remove their pools for various reasons, and understanding these motivations can help you determine if pool removal is the right choice for you. One of the primary benefits of removing a pool is the increased space it provides. You can transform the area into a beautiful garden, a playground for your children, or an outdoor living space for entertaining guests.
Reduced maintenance is another compelling reason to remove a pool. Pools require regular cleaning, maintenance, and expensive repairs. By eliminating the pool, you can save both time and money, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your life or business.
Safety is also a significant concern for pool owners. Accidents can happen, especially if you have children or pets. Removing the pool eliminates the risk of drowning or other pool-related accidents, providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
To illustrate the advantages of Adelaide  pool removal, let me share a personal anecdote. A friend of mine had a pool in their backyard that they hardly used. They decided to remove it and create a beautiful garden in its place. Not only did they gain a stunning outdoor space, but they also found that their overall property value increased. It was a win-win situation for them, and it can be for you too!
Understanding the Pool Removal Process
Now that we have explored the reasons for pool removal, let's dive into the pool removal process itself. It is essential to understand the steps involved to ensure a smooth and successful removal.
The first step is the initial assessment. A professional pool removal service will evaluate your pool's size, condition, and location to determine the best approach for removal. They will also consider any legal or permit requirements that may be necessary.
Once the assessment is complete, the next step is draining the pool. Depending on the type of pool, this process may involve using a pump to remove the water or drilling holes in the pool's bottom to allow for drainage. The drained water must be disposed of properly and in accordance with local regulations.
After the pool is drained, the demolition phase begins. This involves breaking up the pool's structure, either using heavy machinery or manual labor. The debris is then removed from the site and disposed of responsibly.
The next step is backfilling the pool. This involves filling the pool cavity with a combination of soil, gravel, and other materials to ensure stability and proper drainage. The backfilling process is critical to prevent future settling or erosion.
Once the pool is backfilled, the final step is landscaping the area. This includes grading the land, planting grass or other vegetation, and adding any desired features such as patios, walkways, or gardens. The end result is a beautifully transformed space that meets your specific needs and preferences.
Tumblr media
Choosing a Professional Pool Removal Service
Removing a pool is not a task to be taken lightly, and it is crucial to hire a professional pool removal service. They have the knowledge, experience, and equipment necessary to ensure a safe and efficient removal process.
When selecting a pool removal company, there are several factors to consider. First and foremost, check their credentials and certifications. A reputable company will have the necessary licenses and insurance to protect both you and their workers.
Reading reviews and testimonials from previous customers is another essential step in choosing a professional pool removal service. This will give you insight into their reliability, professionalism, and the quality of their work. Additionally, ask for references and reach out to past clients to hear about their firsthand experiences.
Budgeting for Pool Removal
Budgeting for pool removal is an important aspect to consider, and costs can vary depending on factors such as pool size, complexity, and location. It is essential to have a clear understanding of the expenses involved to make an informed decision.
On average, pool removal costs can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Smaller pools or partial pool removals tend to be less expensive, while larger pools or complete removals may require more extensive work and therefore have higher costs.
To save money without compromising quality, consider obtaining multiple quotes from different pool removal companies. This will allow you to compare prices and services to ensure you are getting the best value for your investment. Additionally, discuss any cost-saving options with your chosen pool removal service, as they may have suggestions or alternatives that can help reduce expenses.
Transforming Your Space After Pool Removal
Once the pool removal process is complete, you will have a blank canvas to transform your space according to your preferences and needs. Here are some ideas for repurposing your newly reclaimed area:
Landscaping: Create a lush and vibrant garden with flowers, shrubs, and trees. Incorporate elements such as pathways, seating areas, or even a pond to enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space.
Outdoor Living Area: Build a patio or deck where you can relax, entertain guests, and enjoy the fresh air. Add comfortable furniture, an outdoor kitchen or barbecue, and decorative elements to create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere.
Sports and Recreation: If you have children or enjoy physical activities, consider installing a basketball court, a mini soccer field, or a tennis court. These additions can provide endless hours of fun and exercise for the whole family.
Relaxation Zone: Create a peaceful oasis with a hammock, a meditation area, or a hot tub. Surround it with lush plants and calming elements to create a serene retreat where you can unwind and recharge.
For further inspiration or guidance, we recommend exploring additional resources such as gardening books, landscaping websites, or consulting with a professional landscaper. The possibilities are endless when it comes to transforming your space after pool removal.
Conclusion
Pool removal is a significant decision that can bring numerous benefits to both individuals and businesses. Whether you are looking to reclaim space, reduce maintenance, or improve safety, removing your pool can open up a world of possibilities for your outdoor area.
We have covered the importance of Adelaide pool removal, the process involved, choosing a professional pool removal service, budgeting considerations, and ideas for transforming your space after removal. We hope this guide has provided you with valuable insights and solutions to help you make an informed decision.

Barnsley Hospice Retail Hub:
Tumblr media
We can arrange collection of larger items – in good condition – from the local area. Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., you may drop off donations and shop at the Retail Hub. They provide free parking for our customers, and you can drive your car up to the shutters to make donating as simple as possible. They take men's and women's clothing, as well as children's clothing, toys, books, and trinkets. As well as bigger objects such as furniture and functional electricals. Please contact ahead for furniture donations so that they can confirm their availability. Their committed team of workers and volunteers comb through each bag of contributions and categorise them for labelling. These are then sold or recycled, creating revenue for the hospice while also benefiting the environment! At the hub, they promote sustainability, so nothing goes to waste! Any donations that cannot be sold are recycled, frayed, or given to other local charity. Donating stuff and purchasing secondhand are excellent ways to help the environment and your local community. Encourage sustainability at the hub to ensure that nothing goes to waste! Items are then displayed on our shop floor or on our online selling platforms such as eBay and Vinted. These sales play a huge part in supporting the services we provide for the people of Barnsley, and helping us to raise the £3.5 million we need to raise each year.
Did you know that buying second-hand clothes reduces your carbon waste by 80%? (Source: American Apparel & Footwear Association)
The Retail Hub isn’t just about supporting Barnsley Hospice, we also champion shopping sustainably and adding more pre-loved outfits to your wardrobe.  We get some fabulous rare and vintage finds in our donations, so you can look stylish whilst doing your bit for the planet!

Asked Questions:
Where are you located?
We are located on the Fall Bank Industrial Estate, Dodworth, opposite KDA. Our postcode is S75 3LS.
When can I drop off donations?
You can drop off donations throughout our opening hours – Monday to Saturday between 9 am and 4 pm. We do ask that you refrain from leaving items outside the hub when we are closed as they are likely to get damaged and we are unable to sell them.
Do you accept electricals?
We do accept most electrical items in working condition. There are a few exceptions to the electrical items you can donate, such as printers, which we cannot accept. If you are unsure whether we can accept your donation, please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01226 240 908.
Do you accept furniture?
For all furniture items – small or large- we ask that you please give us a call on 01226 240 908 and send us a photo before donating to the hub via our Facebook page. This helps us establish what we have room for and whether it is in saleable condition, which means we don’t have to turn anyone away when they arrive with their items!
Please note, all soft furnishings must come with the fire retardant label intact. Due to limited space in our warehouse, we may have to decline furniture items – we hope you understand.
Do you accept broken items?
Please refrain from bringing broken items to the hub. Disposing of these items comes at a cost to us, which means less money goes toward funding the specialist palliative care Barnsley Hospice provides. The only exception to this is clothes that can be ragged, which we are happy to recycle.
Do you have accessible facilities at the hub?
We are accessible to wheelchair users with a ramped access and an accessible toilet is available.

 Interview Questions for Hiring Domestic or Office Helpers
Interview questions help you gain the truth, usually immediately rather than later. If hiring through an agency, question the Helper privately, without the agent present. This is important to ensure you get genuine, correct responses. Many issues can be nipped in the bud if we ask the right questions. So, don’t hesitate in asking as many questions as you can.
If you are hiring through an online platform then this is of no issue . Complete control over hiring is in your hands.
Tumblr media
Interview Questions for Hiring Domestic or Office Helpers when we onboard an Helper into our portal, we ask many questions. Similarly, when we help customers interview Helpers as a service, we ask many more questions to ensure the right hiring. Below are some of the questions we ask during onboarding and as employers you should also ask, for a reason. Reasons why we consider these questions important are given alongside the questions. The questions are related to 2 wide categories: personal questions and employment-related questions.
Personal Questions:
What is your full name as per your official identification:
We at Helper4U take the name on Aadhar Card as we use the Aadhar card for verification purposes. The purpose of this question is to have full information on the person in the case of any mishappening. You should know the name by which the person can be traced. If possible, check their identification at the time of interview itself.
What is your age:
This is important since you may want a younger, energetic person or an older, more supervisory sort of a person. Age will also tell you for how long the person will be able to do the work you want them to do, and, what will be the roles and responsibilities of the person. This question will also help you ensure that you do not hire an underage person. Also, you will have an idea if the person will soon decide to get married, or have children. All these will help you make the right hiring decision.
Are you married:
This will tell you what kind of responsibilities the person has at home? If married and with kids, the person may need time to take care of responsibilities at home, like dropping the child to school, picking them up. You may need to factor in for sickness of the child and other similar things and occurrences. It will also tell you if the person you are hiring as a nanny is experienced in taking care of a child or not. For a live in Helper that is an indication that the Helper will be looking to take leaves to go see family more often than one who is not married.
How educated are you:
This question will tell you whether the person can read and write or not. Will the Helper be able to handle messages, notes, and written instructions or not. If you are hiring a cook, then will the person be able to read the labels or not? If hiring a nanny then she will be able to read stories to the child or not, or maybe play with the child, or help the child with homework. Similarly, a patient care person should know how to read medicine names, their expiry etc.
Who is the contact person in case of any emergency involving him/her: 
This will not only help you be prepared in case of an emergency, but also tell you about her background. For example, is she/he giving you the name and details of a family member of a friend? Having this person’s number will also come handy in case the helper needs to be traced.
Is there any medical condition that the Helper has: You should know these to know if there are going to be too many days off. Probe the person about this. Many women workers I have known take at least 2 days off during mensuration cramps. You could help them with some medicines that they are unaware of and enable them to continue working better. Also, if you know the medication they are on, then in case of an emergency you can help your helpers.
Employment-related interview questions:
How long has the Helper been working: 
Do ask how long & where the employment has been, as well as why the employment was terminated/finished. Also, ask about the roles and responsibilities in the previous employment. This will help you understand how well the person will be able to complete the duties that you want to assign to them. The length of time the Helper spent on previous employments will let you gauge if he/she can be relied upon for long employment.
Who was his/her boss? 
Let the helper describe the previous boss. This will tell you about the kind of work he/she has done, as well as whether they talk about the previous employer with respect or not. This will give you an insight into their personality.
Has the Helper had any training? If yes, did he/she complete it: 
Has the candidate had any kind of training? This question will give you information about the capability of the person. As well as whether the person completes the job he/she starts.
You can obviously ask many more questions. And, it is not too tough. Just make a job description or JD for the person. Then frame questions that will help you gauge if the candidate can fulfill that JD.

The Importance of Public Liability
Tumblr media
Public liability Sydney protects individuals and businesses from financial losses resulting from property damage or personal injury. This type of insurance covers a wide range of incidents, including slips and falls.
There is a huge range of businesses that require public liability, from sole trader cleaners to large national companies. Many are required by government contracts to have cover. To know more about Public Liability, visit the Arc Insurance Brokers website or call 0468848642.
Many tradesmen work on site at client locations, which puts them at risk of property damage and personal injury. While not mandatory in Australia, it is wise for tradies to take out public liability insurance to cover their business against the risks of an incident.
It covers any damages your business is liable for caused by your business activities, such as third-party property damage, personal injury and accidental damage to goods. Without public liability, a single incident could bankrupt your business.
The cost of public and product liability will vary between insurers. It will also depend on your occupation and how much of the risk is carried by your business. For example, electricians will pay higher premiums than plumbers due to the more hazardous nature of their jobs. Other factors that will affect the price include your turnover and the number of people in your business. Some insurers may measure these by revenue, while others use staff numbers.
Whether you operate as an independent contractor or work for a company, public liability and workers compensation are important requirements to meet. Failure to have the required insurance policies can result in hefty fines from the NSW government and a loss of reputation.
Subcontractors are usually specialists hired by a principal contractor to carry out a particular task or function on a jobsite. While this is a common practice in many industries, it’s vital that businesses ensure their subcontractors have the right insurance coverage in place before accepting their services.
If damage or injury is caused by a subcontractor, the injured person or business will likely sue everyone involved. This includes the principle contractor, the head contractor and any other subcontractors or employees. This is why it’s vital for subcontractors to have their own public liability policy. They should also request a copy of the policy from any principal contractors they work with to ensure their policy is current.
Australian law deems importers as manufacturers of the goods they bring in, meaning if these imported goods cause injury or damage to someone then you may be held liable. This can be a substantial claim as insurance policies typically cover compensation payable to the injured party, and also your defence costs.
Whether you’re a graphic designer in Burwood or a hair and beauty salon in Thredbo public liability is something every NSW small business should consider. As a professional it’s likely you interact with your clients in many different ways from visiting their workplace to meeting them at their home, work or at third party locations.
All of these scenarios are a potential risk for your business as it’s not always possible to be with your clients and control their actions at all times. That’s why it’s important to be covered with a comprehensive Public Liability policy.
As a small business owner in NSW, you have plenty on your plate. There are marketing campaigns to manage, staff salaries to pay and Zoom calls to make. But don’t underestimate the importance of securing public liability insurance.
Just one claim could be financially crippling and destroy your reputation. That’s why public liability is a must for any business that interacts with customers, clients or the general public.
Whether it’s a child injures themselves at your children’s play centre, or your employee damages customer property at their workplace, public liability covers compensation claims and reasonable legal fees incurred to defend the claim. It also includes a range of other expenses, like cleaning costs and repairs to third party property. This type of cover is not mandatory, but many organisations you work with may ask that you carry a certain level of public liability cover. If you’re unsure about what cover you need, talk to a licenced insurance broker or business adviser. To know more about Public Liability, visit the Arc Insurance Brokers website or call 0468848642.
