THUNDER BAY – Over the last three decades professional wrestling’s popularity in mainstream culture has been on a roller coaster. However, regardless of your age or your level of fandom everyone on this planet remembers the likes of Bret “Hitman” Hart, Hulk Hogan, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, or John Cena.
Professional wrestling although still highly popular amongst its loyalists dipped off the radar in the mainstream media and with the general public in recent years but that has all started to change as wrestling has been mounting massive momentum and is on the brink of yet another Worldwide explosion!
Along for the ride and ready to rise to the occasion of the expected “wrestling boom” is Canadian owned and operated Canadian Wrestling’s Elite who has been building the brand of professional wrestling in Canada for over 7 years. After a historic four province tour in February that saw sold out venues across the nation CWE is returning with 9 events in 10 days across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Ontario.
May 19th-27th CWE Presents The Back To The Future Tour headlined by Global television stars “The Physical Fascination” Kazarian, “The Last Real Man In Professional Wrestling” Silas Young, and 2016 ROH Top Prospect Lio Rush who can all be seen around the World weekly on television apart of Ring Of Honor.
This tour hands down hosts the most talented, athletic, and entertaining wrestlers CWE has ever assembled on the road for what promises to be another step in putting the country of Canada on the wrestling World map!

I wish you were here, but maybe you are here. I’m pretty sure it was you that turned the patio strand of lights on…not once, not twice, but three times! Who else would turn the lights on at 6am from the backyard while your daddy and I sat at the kitchen table drinking coffee while your brother slept? Who would have the nerve to do it more than twice in the same night, especially after making me think about it all day? It could only be you.
There are many, many things I have on my mind this Christmas Eve. You! You! And more you!
Christmas Day was when we last laughed, screamed and played together. It may be close to a year since I held you in my arms, but it doesn’t mean I don’t think about you daily.
The lifelong memories you leave in my heart will last a lifetime and still weigh heavy on me today.
I still get anxiety at 6:30pm when I think about you not having your dinner & medication on time.
It’s impossible to not go into a store and stroll through the little girl section without thinking about you.
I constantly wonder what you would be like if you were here.
I’ve realized that the structure we thought we had in place for you was also for us. You kept our family in sync.
When I exit the freeway I still look in the backseat and see you swinging your feet in excitement that we’re home.
I constantly compare your teachers to Sage’s teachers and think about how good we had it.
Whenever I hear or witness disabled people condescendingly comparing themselves to those with developmental disabilities I think about how no one ever taught them about disability equality or justice.
Everyday I remind your brother how much you loved each other.
I’ve learned that friends and family who don’t know what to say about you not being here are not easy people for me to be around.
Im pretty sure I have mastered the hidden messages you send me. I know you’re here and you miss me as much as I miss you.
I’ve realized that having you for only four years was not nearly long enough or fair.
Livy, you will forever be my girl, my first born, my baby. I miss you as much today as the first day I said goodbye. I treasure every memory and sign that you give me and only wish there could be more.
Your Facebook post and letter brought to mind an old Randy Travis Song.
All love to you and yours this Christmastime and always.
So much love in a shirt little life. I’m pretty sure O would mess with the lights for you two 💕 She certainly had that mischievous little grin down and her spirit is with you. Thinking about you today.
Sending you live, compassion, and thoughts for the future without forgetting the past.

What is the best treatment for curvature of the spine?
Depends on several. Scenarios. If no symptoms & the curve is not big in adult, no treatment needed. In general, exercise, weight control, not smoking & adequate vitamin d & calcium intake are important for spine health.

The official Eiffel Tower website sells tickets online, at the official rates, for between 1 month and 4 months ahead. For example on January 1st, you can buy tickets for days from Feb 1st to April 30th. But be warned; for Spring and Summer months, these tickets sell out very fast.
If you're too late for tickets on the official site, or there are none left, you'll either have to risk standing in a long line (in the hope that there are places available on the day), or else buy a last minute ticket which may come at a highly inflated price. Continue reading for our "best buy" tips, and to avoid getting ripped off.
Unfortunately, these days large volumes of tickets for the Eiffel Tower get bought up by tour operators and online resellers, as soon as they go on sale: so independent travellers will find it almost impossible to get tickets from the official Eiffel Tower website, except in very low season. And even then not last-minute. To avoid the risk of disappointment, or of having to stand in a long long line, visitors need to look at the offers from online resellers.
Many online resellers, specially those advertising heavily on the Internet, resell the Eiffel tower tickets they have bought at a large markup – sometimes more than three times the official price.
(a subsidiary of TUI Travel) .
Eiffel Tower packages sell out fast; but Isango may still have some tickets for the top of the tower tour, even at just a few days' notice.
Tickets on the official Eiffel Tower website (in English or other languages) are frequently sold out within minutes of coming on sale. The official site may well have no tickets available for the next three months, specially in busy tourist periods.
If, however, they do still have some available, they can be bought on line in English, and printed out in your own home. It couldn't be easier.
Note that The Eiffel Tower is not included in any of the Paris visitor passes.
Do not buy tickets online from other sources unless you want Eiffel tower access that is included as part of a bigger package - see "Practical" below. Resellers cannot offer faster "skip the line" tickets than the official site, whatever they say ; and all resellers, including the Paris tourist office, charge more for Eiffel tower tickets than the official site - in some cases a lot more. Be warned ! Even if you are unlikely to be able to get skip-the-line tickets from the official site, given how fast they sell out, check official ticket prices below as a matter of interest !
No more tickets available for your date? Try Eiffel Tower combined tours, which may sell out more slowly.
Alternatively, buy tickets at the entrance ..... but be prepared for a long queue ... or to find that everything is already sold out !
For 41 years, from its inauguration in 1889 until 1930, the Eiffel Tower was the world's tallest man-made structure.
That was just one of the many records it has held, or still holds. Others include the most visited paid-entrance tourist attraction in the world; and also one of the most recognised - if not the most recognised - structure in the world. As a symbol of Paris, it is known the world over.
The Eiffel tower was designed by one of France's greatest 19th century engineers, Gustave Eiffel, as a gateway to the Paris Universal Exhibition, marking the centenary of the French Revolution (1789).
It was originally put up on a 20-year lease, and should have been dismantled in 1909; but by then it had become such a landmark, and so popular, that the Paris city hall decided to keep it open – a decision that it has surely never regretted.
The tower is built of 7300 tons of pig iron - remarkably little considering the height of the structure. When designing it, Eiffel - who was creating a structure like none other before - was particularly attentive to wind forces; sceptics thought that the tower was too high, and would be blown over in the first gale. Eiffel proved them wrong, and his design was so successful that even in the strongest wind, the top of the tower only moves by about 7 centimetres. This is less than it moves under the effect of strong summer sunshine which causes the metal on the south side to expand more than on the north.
The Tower has three levels, and there are restaurants on the first and the second. Most visitors use the elevators (lifts) to the first and second levels, though there are stairs for the very energetic. Access to the top is by elevator only. Though elevators were part of the original structure, those in use today are modern replacements, and fully compliant with twenty-first century safety standards.
The Eiffel Tower stands on the left bank of the Seine (the south bank) in a garden known as the Champ de Mars - or field of Mars, between the Seine and the Ecole Militaire. Obviously, on account of its height, the Eiffel Tower can be seen from places all over Paris, and notably from the heights of Montmartre or from the top of Notre Dame or from the Arc de Triomphe; but one of the best places to view it from a distance is just across the Seine, from the Esplanade of the Trocadero, right opposite.
► NB: Access to the Eiffel Tower is not included in any of the Paris visitor passes, not even the Paris City Pass (best value among the various city passes) or the Museum Pass. Tickets are sold for a given date and time only. See below.
Check out the Paris City Vision website for Eiffel Tower tours, with or without a meal in the restaurant. The Eiffel Tower has three restaurants. Obviously, even when discounted, the price of tours, whether or not they include a meal in the Eiffel Tower are considerably more than the cost of normal acces tickets. But like other advance purchase tickets, they do provide fast-track skip-the-line access to the tower.
For last minute tickets when other ordinary tickets have all sold out, the standard second floor tour may still have places available. Guided tour tickets are more than the standard ticket prices, but you get your ticket in advance, you don't have to stand in a line, you get a guided tour; and it's a lot cheaper than paying for a hurried meal in one of the restaurants.
At the end of your second floor tour, you can then, and subject to availability, buy a ticket on the second floor, to take you to the top. There are often no queues at the ticket booth on the second floor, and since you buy the ticket at the Tower, you get it at the official price.
The good news : Youth and child tickets have gone down in price... and overall Eiffel tower rates are comparable to or less than those charged for similar momuments.
Disabled and their helpers: same as child rate.
There are public toilets on the first and second levels, but not at the top level.
To save time and avoid queues for other Paris monuments, check out the Paris City Pass , the best value among the different Paris passes, providing access to most museums plus a Seine cruise and other attractions.
Cheap Eiffel Tower tickets? Ha Ha ! Don't be fooled ! They don't exist.
There are a number of websites claiming to offer " cheap Eiffel Tower tickets." Don't be fooled. No one can sell cheap Eiffel Tower tickets, as all tickets come in the first place from the official Eiffel Tower operator, the city of Paris, who don't do discounts. They don't need to ! They get more than enough visitors without discounting !
One website advertises heavily to sell tickets with a "best price guarantee" even though they resell them at more than three times the official price! And others are doubtless selling them for even more.
So any one or any website claiming to offer cheap Eiffel Tower tickets or discounted Eiffel Tower tickets is either being deliberately dishonest or else offering a discount on some package which includes a visit to the Tower.
These tours exist, but the tour – whatever the discount – will by definition cost more than the normal price of entry to the Eiffel Tower.
The Eiffel tower in Paris, built in 1889, is probably the most recognisable landmark in the world.

Profits enjoyed right now by UK and European banks “hide the reality” and are unsustainable, according to research.
A new study of the 50 largest banking groups in Europe by strategy and management consultancy zeb shows that the current conditions in which these firms are operating are unstable, due to low valuations and market share.
Their profitability rose from 3.9% to 7.1% last year, but the analysis indicates that this is because profit improvements from reduced non-litigation and extraordinary costs have allowed net profits to surge.
This obscures the fact that maintaining this rise in profitability would be almost impossible, while banks struggle to cope with the competition from other financial intermediaries.
These organisations now account for almost half of the assets in the European financial sector, growing from 22% ten years ago to 48% in 2017.
When coupled with insurers and pensions funds, that share reaches 63% of what used to belong almost exclusively to the banks.
Bertrand Lavayssière, managing director at zeb UK, said: “While these profit results may look positive, they are, for most institutions, superficial and hide the reality.
In addition to warning of a potential future crisis, zeb’s study outlines four strategic options banks can opt for in order to combat the gloomy market conditions and produce value by offering something unique.
These include pursuing more mergers and acquisitions, focusing on product specialisation, breaking up the value chain and participating in financial ecosystems or platforms.
Mr Lavayssière added: “Top performing banks will be those who are most capable of selecting a path of true differentiation while simplifying and standardising the rest.
“The time has now come to shift towards operational improvements and to decouple those aspects of the value chain that no longer enhance value for customers.

Both old and new developments across the borough as well as a refurbished primary school, were all successful in this year's South Yorkshire and Humber Building Excellence Awards 2014.
The Wentworth Grange housing development in Manvers; a new bespoke detached house in Treeton; the Brooklands Croft housing development in Wales; a newly-restored cottage in Lindrick Dale and the extended and refurbished Wath C of E Primary School, all featured in the awards, which recognise building excellence during the year.
Builders and developers undertaking projects in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, North Lincolnshire, North-East Lincolnshire and Hull are all eligible to take part in this highly-respected awards scheme, which is organised by building control departments of local authorities across South Yorkshire and the Humber, and is now in its eighth year.
The projects were judged on a range of criteria including compliance with building regulations, accessibility, inclusive environment and sustainability, as well as client and customer satisfaction.
Amberdale Developments, a Rotherham-based builder and developer, was a ‘finalist’ for its nomination in the 'Best Individual Dwelling’ category for a bespoke stone-built detached house in Treeton.
W. Redmile and Sons, a family-owned business based in Sheffield, was the ‘Winner’ for the second year running - this time in the 'Best Small Housing Development’ category for Brooklands Croft in Wales. Situated in the heart of Wales, this is a development of 17 bespoke units ranging from townhouses to large detached dwellings.
Rotherham based C.S. Surveying and Architectural Design Limited were finalists in the ‘Best Domestic Restoration and Conversion’ category for their sensitive remodelling and refurbishment of a former mill worker's cottage in Lindrick Dale, which dates from the 1700s.
Rotherham also had a successful housing development project with the Wentworth Grange development in Manvers. Ben Bailey Homes was the ‘Winner’ in the ‘Best Large Housing Development’ category.
Manvers Way is a large residential development consisting of 252 quality, high specification two, three and four-bedroom homes and two-bedroom apartments. The construction of the houses began in 2007 and was finally completed in 2014.
The final Rotherham project featured in the ‘Best Education Project’ category. It was for the extension and refurbishment works to Wath Church of England Primary School. The project was designed by James Cox of Rotherham Council's Design and Projects department and was built by local contractor George Hurst and Sons Ltd.
Another success for Rotherham was with local contractor Eton Construction. Although their project was not based in Rotherham the company achieved a ‘Winners’ award for its nomination in the 'Best Individual Dwelling’. The Rotherham company is responsible for a new house in Tickhill and was nominated by Doncaster Borough Council.
The icing on the cake at the awards event was when the Ben Bailey Homes project Wentworth Grange, Manvers was announced ‘Winner of Winners’. This development beat all other nine category ‘Winners’ to win the most prestigious award of the night.
All the successful projects in the South Yorkshire and Humber Building Excellence Awards 2014 are now eligible for nomination to the national LABC - Local Authority Building Control Finals - to be held in London later in the year.
The awards also helps charity by sponsoring local charity PACT. Based at at the Sheffield Childrens' Hospital, PACT provides practical and emotional support for children and their families throughout their cancer and leukaemia treatment. Around £2,000 was raised for the charity by hosting a golf day and a raffle.

COLUMBIA - Boone Hospital Center debuted two newly renovated floors Monday. The $10.7 million renovation adds 64 more private patient rooms to the hospital.
The renovated floors will house the medical specialties unit and the joint replacement center.
Including the newly renovated rooms, 95 percent of the hospital's rooms are now private. Chief Nursing Officer Mary Beck said private rooms are a huge improvement for patients.
"It will really allow our patients to have privacy, improve infection prevention, and reduce the risk of falls," Beck said.
Other than privacy, the new rooms also have a handrail that goes from the bed to the restroom, which is designed to prevent patients from falling on their way to the restroom. Beck also said the facility features artwork from Missouri artists.
"It really is a nice respite for our patients and their families to pause at a piece of artwork, to take them away from perhaps the reality they're dealing with," Beck said.
Patients will move into the new floors Tuesday.
Monday's ribbon cutting came on the heels of the opening of the new Stewart Cancer Center early this month.

Comments by Emily Drumsta, assistant professor of comparative literature, to follow.
Directed by Youssef Chahine, 97 minutes, 1958, Egypt.
Cairo Station (Bab el hadid, ‘the Iron Gate,’ in Arabic) follows Qinawi, a peddler who sells newspapers, and his obsession with Hannuma, a lemonade seller engaged to Abu Siri, a porter attempting to organize a union. The film is noted as one of the first depictions of Egyptian society that deviated from the feel good escapism of Egyptian cinema into Italian neo-realism and American noir styles. Banned in Egypt for 20 years, the film has since been recognized as a classic of Egyptian cinema.

Recently, a friend shared an arresting photo on facebook. Since there were many shares, I’m not sure who originally posted it, but the photo and inscription are attributed to Billie Mobayed.
The quoted material, under the photo of a rustic, repaired, and beautifully photographed bowl, indicated that the Japanese fill cracks in damaged objects with gold, thus honoring the history of the object, acknowledging the damage, and making it even more attractive.
When I find those spots in my work, usually after letting it rest for several days, I stare at the offending line, try out a different word, phrase, or expression and sometimes–but not always–improve it. What I’ve come to realize, reluctantly, is that I’m impatient and inclined to do a quick fix, move on, and create new material (which is, of course, a lot more fun). Obviously, hurrying to repair a piece of mediocre writing isn’t a great idea, and usually results in dull prose or poetry–cobbled together and disorienting to the reader.
The cracks and flaws in our writing provide us with an opportunity to turn them into gold. When I do a workshop, I often advise writers to identify the best line in their manuscript, then strive to make every other line that good. But what if we could make the offending lines even better than our best line? What if we take that nondescript line and turn it into a line that sends the dialogue in a new direction; that reveals a hidden truth about our characters or their circumstances; that delights the reader? I’m going to try. Let me know if it works for you.
I’m in love with Mr. Green. Not just any Mr. Green–George Dawes Green. Well, not really in love with him since I’ve never met the man, or even glimpsed him from a distance, but in love with his writing. Just by chance, I found his book, The Caveman’s Valentine, in a small, indie bookstore the other day.
The title was provocative and the description had me hooked: a talented, brilliant musician with a wife and daughter has turned his back on it all to live in a cave in New York City’s Inwood Park. Throw in the fact he’s schizophrenic, finds a corpse at the mouth of his cave, and sets out to seek justice for the victim sealed the deal. I bought the book, expecting it to be interesting; I discovered it was much more. Green is an intriguing writer who is able to tweak writing conventions and twist plots without perplexing the reader.
He also has the enviable ability to write blocks of dialogue between two characters without using any dialogue tags to indicate who is speaking. It’s not easy to do this and keep the reader from becoming frustrated. And it can happen to the best of writers; critics love to attack Hemingway for a confusing exchange in his short story, ”A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.” While writing dialogue without tags can be disconcerting in the hands of someone less skilled than Green, he delineates his characters so clearly that there is never any doubt about who is speaking. His dialogue flows so smoothly it’s as if the reader is listening to the conversation.
I liked many other things about the book, including the fact that he has penetrated the mind of a brilliant, if deranged, man with precision and compassion. I was happily surprised with the twists and turns of the plot, and liked it that he offered closure at the end.
The speaker’s ethnicity and first language (if applicable).
Speech patterns and idioms of the locale in which the character functions.
Characterization works best when you create plausible voices. Just as the narrator’s voice must be believable and consistent, so must the dialogue of every character–even the minor ones who may only appear once or twice (waiter, taxi driver, witness, bank teller). Unrealistic, dialogue has been the death knell of many otherwise great plots.
Using the syntax of actual speakers eliminates artificial dialogue. People tend to speak in fragments, relying often on facial expressions and body language to fill in the gaps. Using authentic speech patterns also eliminates a problem many novelists encounter–telling the backstory in the dialogue rather than in the narrative.
Your goal is to develop characters that have personality, quirks, mannerisms, and habits. They may be kind or evil, cowardly or bold. They may be educated or illiterate, rich or poor. They may live in a city townhouse or a rural farmhouse. Regardless, they will come alive on the page or stage if the words they speak remind us of who they are, what they are feeling, and how they make us feel.
Coffee, Tea, or Too Much Me–or You?
You are partial to a special craft beer and addicted to an oolong tea only grown on a certain slope. You smoke, love soccer, listen to jazz and collect posters of abstract art. You stay in the shower until the water turns cold; you sleep on flannel sheets even in the summer. Your car is old, recalcitrant, and fails you at the most inconvenient times. Fine. I, too, have things I can’t imagine living without–not the least of which is high-end coffee, listening to K.D. Lang singing Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, and a certain brand of really comfortable shoes.
When I open a novel, I like to read details about what the characters eat and drink; about what their living quarters look like; about what books are on their shelves. I like to know whether they go for a run at 5:00 a.m. or just dawdle over coffee. It makes them seem like people I know, people I’d like for a friends–or those I’d avoid. Describing settings and details familiar to you–whether the logo on your gym bag or the view from your bedroom window–will breathe life into your fiction; that is, unless you inadvertently have EVERY character in your novel lighting up, opening a craft beer, or hanging out in the shower (except maybe a character who is contemplating suicide by hanging himself from the shower spigot).
How much is too much YOU? We are admonished by many writing instructors, workshop directors, and how-to books on fiction to “Write what you know.” A talented writer I know used to work with his family in a decorative, wrought iron business. He incorporated details of their shop in an early work of his, and it was highly effective because it fit with the main character, the plot, and the setting. If what you know (like) fits in with a character–if your character is the type to really love those flannel sheets–then give him a set, but if it doesn’t fit save the sheets for another character in the book–or another book. And don’t, I beg you, have every character in your book loving soccer and collecting posters.
Stella, the protagonist in Nothing’s Ever Right or Wrong, is frequently baking biscuits–a lot of them. That was only wishful thinking on my part since I can’t make a decent biscuit; however, Stella could, and it fit her lifestyle and situation. That hasn’t always been the case. In the past, I’ve burdened my characters with habits or traits that didn’t fit them; they were my traits, my desires, my biases. Sometimes it almost worked; other time it detracted.
Description can be dicey. It’s easy to get an image or phrase fixed in our mind and, without realizing it, use it repeatedly. I just finished a novel by a New York Times Bestseller who is a very accomplished writer and a book critic. For some reason, the men tended to have long, glossy hair. The woman, with one exception, had long, shiny, black hair. Everyone seemed to be pale. Also, the men seemed to be very partial to black tee shirts. I couldn’t resist sneaking a peak at the author’s photo. Yep! Long, very dark, hair and she does look sort of pale.
Once, I found myself giving all the characters in a novel hazel-colored eyes. I don’t have hazel eyes myself, but I’ve always liked them. It seems that preference was lodged somewhere in my mind, and I used it thoughtlessly. What saved me that time was proofreading. Now I use the “find” tool in my word processing program, knowing I have a tendency to make that particular kind of error. If I type in “hair,” and I keep getting “blond and tousled,” I’m in trouble.
The best plan is to recognize your individual tendencies when writing character descriptions. Make use of your word processing technology (or a sharp-eyed, first reader), and you won’t make the “pale face, long, shiny, black hair” mistake.

and y the fat of his flesh will grow lean.
in a the Valley of Rephaim.
7 c In that day man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel. 8 d He will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, and he will not look on what his own fingers have made, either the e Asherim or the altars of incense.
9 f In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.
and m whirling dust before the storm.
14 n At evening time, behold, terror!
The burden of the word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach and Damascus is its resting place. For the Lord has an eye on mankind and on all the tribes of Israel.
And I will cut off your carved images and your pillars from among you, and you shall bow down no more to the work of your hands.
At the tumultuous noise peoples flee; when you lift yourself up, nations are scattered.

The families of retired Presidents Mwai Kibaki and Daniel Arap Moi are yet to claim idle assets taken over by the National Treasury.
The two families have failed to claim the assets more than two years after their seizure was announced by the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority (UFAA).
UFAA says the idle assets that the two families have failed to claim were owned by the late Lena Moi and Lucy Kibaki.
The authority says the unclaimed assets under Mrs. Moi, who died in 2004, are in the form of shares and dividends in East Africa Breweries Limited (EABL) and Centum Investment.
UFAA is holding property belonging to Lucy Kibaki, who passed away in 2016. Lucy's assets were forwarded to the authority by Co-operative Bank in 2015.
“The two first families are yet to make a claim to the assets,” a source at UFAA told the Business Daily.
Moi and Kibaki's are some of the wealthiest families in the country.

It's because What's in the Treasury to them is Peanuts relative to What they Looted over the years.
Simply they looted a lot from the public coffers and makes it difficult to distinguished which is which really belongs to them or not.

Have you ever pictured a gorgeous river wood table in your living room? If you’re reading this tutorial, you’ve probably looked through all of the pinterest boards for inspiration, and selected the perfect piece of wood for the project. Now you are ready to begin!
In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of creating a river table using reclaimed cedar wood and Smooth-On clear epoxy resin. This is a multi-day process, but the end result will be a high gloss and UV resistant custom table - well worth the time and effort.
For this tutorial, we will be starting with a piece of reclaimed cedar which measures at approximately 89” x 22” x 2.25” (226 cm x 56 cm x 6cm).
Use a bandsaw to cut the cedar in half to create two pieces that measure roughly 73” x 14” (185 cm x 36 cm).
Run both pieces of wood through a planer to ensure that they are a uniform thickness of 1 13/16” or 4.6 cm thick.
Use a sanding tool to remove any dirt or other imperfections in the wood, and then lastly, use a belt sander to achieve a smooth and even edge.
Once the wood has been clean up, and is free of any unwanted bark, dirt, or debris, it is ready to be placed into the mold form.
For the next step, we will need to build a container, or mold, to house our tabletop while the liquid resin dries. Start by cutting a piece of melamine to the desired dimensions of the table top. Using additional pieces of melamine, cut walls for the mold which will be tall enough to house the panels of reclaimed cedar, and any minor overflow of resin.
Remember, to achieve a “river” effect with the clear resin, leave a gap in the middle between the two pieces of cedar. This gap will later be filled with clear resin.
Next, cut a sheet of acrylic. For our table, we will need a piece which measures 24” x 73” x ⅛” (61 cm x 185 cm x 3 cm). This will sit on the bottom of the mold, directly under the reclaimed cedar, to prevent the resin from bonding to the melamine board.
Assemble your mold by screwing the walls melamine walls into the base, and then placing the sheet of acrylic inside. Once this is done, the reclaimed cedar boards can be placed inside the mold form. The wood should fit snugly inside the mold and be sealed with hot glue to prevent any surprise leaks.
Seal any exposed melamine on the inside wall with Sonite Wax to prevent the liquid resin from bonding to the sides of the mold.
Lastly, use clamps and pieces of 2x2 to apply a downward pressure on the cedar and the mold, to prevent any epoxy from seeping underneath while it dries.
You are now ready to begin pouring the resin!
Why are we using EpoxAcast 690? This Smooth-On product is ideal for this project for a number of reasons. First, it dries clear, so we get our desired “river” gap in the middle of the table. Second, it dries tough with negligible shrinkage - perfect for building a table to last. Third, EpoxAcast 690 is not moisture sensitive like many other epoxy resins. Any excess moisture trapped within the porous surface of the wood will not prevent EpoxAcast 690 from curing.
The mixing ratio for EpoxAcast 690 is 100A:30B by WEIGHT, so use a scale and carefully weigh out 2500 grams of part A and 750 grams of part B. Be sure to stir the product inside the container before measuring to ensure an even mixture every time.
Combine with parts in a large container and mix thoroughly. No need to rush, EpoxAcast 690 has a pot life, or mixing time, for this product is roughly 5 hours at room temperature. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container to mix in any trapped product. Transfer the product into a second container and stir thoroughly one more time to ensure a thorough mixture.
Pour the EpoxAcast 690 into the open cavity between the two pieces of reclaimed cedar. Be careful not to pour EpoxAcast 690 in layers more than ⅜” (0.95cm). Pouring excess material can cause the epoxy to overheat, which can lead to bubbles and suckback.
For best results, pour in a thin stream and avoid splashing to help prevent air bubbles and other imperfections. Allow the resin to slowly flow down and level itself inside the bottom of the mold form.
Use a smaller cup or container to pour ⅜” of resin into open areas of the wood’s surface.
That is it for the first layer. Leave the EpoxAcast 690 to set in the mold for 24 hours at room temperature (73F or 23C). It is best to allow the epoxy to cure in a temperature controlled environment, such as a workshop. Temperature may affect the curing time of the epoxy. Check Smooth-On’s product pages for detailed instructions for your product before beginning a project.
The next step of this project is to repeat step #3. EpoxAcast 690 will need to be poured in layers, allowing 24 for hours for each layer to cure fully in between. Using the instructions above, mix additional batches of resin and fill the cavity in between the cedar, as well as open cavities in the table surface, ⅜” at a time.
You should end up with 6 layers of EpoxAcast 690 in total, with the gap between the two pieces of wood completely filled.
Wait for the final layer to cure for 24 hours before moving onto the next step in the process - demolding. Once all layers have been allowed to cure, it is time to remove the clamps and unscrew the walls of the mold from the base.
Now that the tabe top is one solid piece, it is time to sand it sound and seal the wood. Let’s move on to the next step in the process.
Run the newly demolding tabletop through a planer to level out any high spots and create an even thickness, and use a table saw to clean up the edges. Finish the edges with a router, to achieve a nice beveled table edge. Continue to refine the table surface with an orbital sander and 220 grit sandpaper.
Now that our tabletop is smooth, it is looking a little dull, isn’t it? Give it back its shine with, you guessed it, another smaller batch of EpoxAcast 690. Use a lint-free cloth to spread a layer of epoxy over the surface of the table. This top layer will bring back the glossy finish and seal the reclaimed cedar. Allow to cure for 24 hours at room temperature.
Mix another batch of EpoxAcast 690 and pour it over the table surface in a layer about 1/16” (0.16 cm) thick. Allow the excess to run off the edges. Cure for 24 hours, and then cover with adhesive film to protect the top while the underside is being worked on.
Belt sand the underside of the table to remove any excess epoxy, pour some EpoxAcast 690 on the sanded, and spread with a lint-free cloth to seal the underside of the table.
Allow to cure for 24 hours as room temperature. Mix another batch of epoxy for the underside of the table and pour a layer about 1/16” thick over the clear portion between the cedar panels. Let the excess material drip over the edges, and allow the epoxy to cure for 24 hours.
The tabletop is finish and it is time to add the legs. For this tutorial, a frame is welded together for the base. Once the frame is built, bolt it to the bottom of the tabletop to secure it.
Remove the protective plastic we placed on the top, and viola! The table is now ready to be used. Using reclaimed cedar and EpoxAcast 690, we have created a high gloss river table.
Interested in building one of your own? Experiment with different shapes and varieties of wood and build your own unique and eye-catching tabletops. Smooth-On manufactures is a full lineup of epoxy resins, along with a series of tints, so the possibilities are endless.

Colour Correction has been one of the biggest beauty trends of the past few months. It seems like almost everbody has written a post or made a video about it so now I'm here to share my own opinion this time. This trend has actually been around for years, used mostly by the makeup artists, but is now becoming much more accessible to the common people. It seems like every brand has come out with a version of their own - from concealers, primers, palletes, etc. When I was casually snooping around the local drugstore I came across the Catrice Prime&Fine line, which sounded really interesting and affordable. That's why I decided to jump on the bandwagon and try out the colour correction trend for myself.
Prime&Fine Anti-Red Base, neutralises redness, long-lasting, hydrating.
What it claims: Soft green primer neutralises redness and gives a long-lasting even skin tone. Hydrating. Dermatologically tested.
Prime&Fine Beautifying Primer, soft focus effect, long-lasting, naturally illuminating.
What it claims: Soft rose primer with light-reflecting pearl pigments and vitamin E instantly gives a luminous glow. The long-lasting silky texture illuminates and optically creates a more even skin tone. For a beautiful and healthy looking skin. Improves make up wear. Use alone or under make up. Dermatologically tested.
Prime&Fine Pore Refining Anti-Shine Base, mattifying, long-lasting, oil-free.
What it claims: Lightweight primer minimises shine and reduces optically the size of pores. Long-lasting. Dermatologically tested.
Now for my thoughts. I find that primers are very important in a makeup routine, at least for me, because I have quite large pores, some redness and extremely oily skin in my T-Zone. I am in search of a drugstore primer that would take care of all the "imperfections" and would work well with my skin, so I am constantly on a hunt for new ones. For me these products are such a hit or miss that I need to try out all the brands that offer these kinds of primers to find the one that suits me best. Over the past month I've been trying out three Catrice primers that I listed above. I ended up being extremely impressed with the Beautfying primer, but dissapointed with the other two. All the products come in a tube of 30ml, so they're really practical to use and are available at around 4 €.
The Pore Refining Anti-Shine base has a white, creamy formula (nothing like the moussey texture of the Porefessional from Benfit or the Pores No More from dr. Brandt). It applies smoothly and absorbs well + doesn't contain silicones and is oil-free. But while the oil-free aspect may be true, it does not provide a mattifying complexion or significantly reduces the apperance of pores. As I've mentioned many times before, I have extremly enlarged pores and really oily skin in the T-zone, so this product unfortunately did nothing for my skin. It did not minimize my pores at all and after an hour or so my face was oily throughout. I have also tried it on my friend's skin, who also has extremely enlarged pores, and it didn't work for her as well. If you have normal to dry skin and rather small pores this product may work for you, but in my case the primer was not successul.
The Prime and Fine Anti-Red Base is a correcting primer that cancels out the redness of your complexion. I've tried out the correcting technique many times before (stick concealer) but nothing really impressed me enough to include it in my daily routine. It still feels like just another unimportant and not needed step in my already long daily makeup routine. It has a green creamy formula that contains some shimmer and glitter, so I advise you to swatch it before repurchasing it. I used it after I moisturized my face. I personally find it really hard to blend the primer properly, because of the texture and really high pigmentation, which in this case is not really a bonus, because it left my face appear extremely pale with vibrant green hues - very visible even under my medium to full coverage foundation. Whenever I wore this primer, people kept asking me thorughout the day, if I was feeling ok and that I looked sick. It does slightly tone down the redness but also leaves you looking green - that's why this product is a pass for me.
After trying out the first two primer and being rather dissapointed, I was really sceptical with the Beautifying Primer. But ever since the first use, I've been absolutely loving the Prime and Fine Beautifying Primer - it makes your skin look radiant and awake with it's bright and peachy shade. I keep this primer out of my oily T-zone, but I love to add it on my dry areas like my chin, cheekbones and under the eyes. I always have a difficult time achieving a healthy glow without making my complexion look greasy. It has a light, creamy texture that absorbs quickly, smoothes the skin and creates a nice glowy complexion, so that the foundation (I currently use the L'Oreal Infallible 24h Matte foundation) doesn't adhere to the dry patches. It also doesn't change the tone of your complexion, like the green one, but simply gives it a brighter appearence. If you, again, have normal to dry, especially dull skin (or even combination type, just like me) that needs a boost of energy and brightening, you will absolutely love this primer. Plus, it's a very affordable option!
Fine lines problems are common in now days. This type of problems are common in women after 30's. After 30's every women face such kind of signs problems. Anti-aging problems comes after 30's. So it is important to avoid that problems with good anti-aging skin cream.
To be honest it really worked for me. Though I have dry skin so it makes my skin oily but not that much and it provides a proper moisture to the skin. Small amount is good enough.
Looks great surely gonna try them. While choosing the best creams choose for the velvet like structure and research for the ingredients such as amino peptide and vitamin B3. These ingredients helps to remove the fine lines around the eyes and brighten the area around the eyes.

When a distal radius fracture is complex or unstable, it will most likely require a surgical approach to ensure the fracture stays in place during the healing process.
An unstable fracture, particularly one that extends into the wrist’s radiocarpal joint (intra-articular), may be a good candidate for a surgical procedure known as external fixation. This approach entails placing into the bone metal pins that extend outside the surface of the skin. The pins are then attached to a rigid external frame to keep them in place. Once the fracture is healed, the pins and frame are removed.
Bridging external fixation involves a frame that extends across the wrist joint, keeping the wrist in a static position. A bridging fixator can be made more dynamic with the addition of a hinge in the frame.
Non-bridging external fixation involves a frame that does not bridge the wrist joint, allowing for movement earlier in the recovery process.
Kirschner wires also may be used to supplement the fixator, although they typically won’t be attached to the fixation frame.
A few studies have shown that non-bridging external fixation may lead to better results.2,3 This approach has the added benefit of earlier mobility, as it doesn’t keep the wrist in a fixed position. The biggest drawbacks to external fixator are the cumbersome frame and the potential for infection at the pin sites.
Internal fixation, where plates and screws are implanted to hold the bone fragments in place without external caging, has the advantage of allowing earlier mobilization of the wrist without complicated casting.
An increasingly popular treatment approach to a distal radius fracture is to surgically implant plates, screws, or pins to hold the bone fragments in place. Plates and other components are most often implanted on the inside of the wrist and forearm, but it is possible to implant them on the back of the arm and wrist in certain circumstances. The components are not removed even after the bone heals (although if supplemental Kirschner wires are used, those will be removed).
As with external fixation, this approach is appropriate for unstable, intra-articular, compound and/or comminuted fractures. Compared with external fixation, internal plating has the advantage of allowing earlier mobilization and less complicated casting. The biggest drawback is its potential effect of irritating tendons near the components, causing tendinopathy and possible tendon rupture. However, the risk of this complication is decreasing as more newly designed plates have a thinner profile.
By working with their physician, patients can find the best treatment option for distal radius fracture to meet their expectations and lifestyle.

Which biochemical pathways are regulated by mechanical signals?
Cells are capable of relaying mechanical stimuli from their physical environment all the way down to the nucleus through electrochemical, biochemical or mechanical pathways. In many cases the activation or suppression of a given pathway by a mechanical cue gives rise to alterations in gene expression. This may be described by a simplified model where the local rigidity of the extracellular matrix is first detected at focal adhesion sites by stretch-activated and integrin-like transmembrane receptors (reviewed in ). The transduction of the signal subsequently occurs via physical (localized contraction or alteration of the cytoskeleton) or chemical (diffusion of soluble intermediates) pathways.
Simplified model of mechanotransduction. Focal adhesions detect physical stimuli from the substrate, and transmit this information to the nucleus, either directly along the actin cytoskeleton or in conjunction with biochemical signaling pathways, such as phosphorylation. Purely mechanical signaling is fast, on the order of milliseconds, while a combination of mechanical and biochemical signaling takes seconds.
A long-distance propagation of mechanical force can take place through physical modulation of the cytoskeleton which requires the cell to have non-uniform stiffness (as predicted by the tensegrity model ). Such physical force propagation (often referred to as stress wave ) takes less than a milli second to reach the nucleus. On the other hand, extracellular mechanical signals can also be transmitted to the nucleus via biochemical pathways initiated through conformational changes in mechanosensitive proteins and leading to chemical signal propagation and amplification. Unlike the rapid propogation of signals via stress waves, diffusion of soluble proteins or ligands through the cytoplasm can take tens of seconds to occur. These proteins or ligands must also interact with downstream mediators before eventually reaching the nucleus and initiating changes in gene expression. This final ‘end point’ in the pathway can be achieved through activation of transcription factors, the formation of transcription complexes or through a physical remodeling of chromatin or other nuclear components.
Of particular importance in biochemical mechanotransduction are phosphorylation events or other post-translational modifications of proteins, as these events are often associated with changes in transcription (reviewed in ). This is observed, for example, when mechanosensitive proteins such as zyxin, paxillin, β-catenin, which are normally situated within focal adhesion complexes or at cell-cell junctions, translocate to the nucleus upon mechanosignal-induced phosphorylation. Similarly, transcription-relevant factors may be sequestered in the cytoplasm (e.g., NFkB, STAT3, NFAT) and translocate to the nucleus after they are phosphorylated by upstream mechanosensitive mediators (e.g., focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activates NF-kB in response to fluid shear stress ). In other cases, the transcription-related factors may already reside inside the nucleus (e.g., EGR1 ) and when stimulated, bind to specific regulatory sites on DNA to initiate gene expression.

By the early 700s AD, the Roman Empire had seen four hundred years of religious arguments about what or who Jesus Christ was.
The Arians believed that Christ was all god. The Catholics believed that Christ was entirely and inseparably both god and man.
And people had fought over every possible combination of thoughts in between.
But in 725, the Roman Emperor Leo presented a new idea. Leo suggested that icons, or statues and paintings of Jesus Christ, were a violation of the Second Commandment of Moses.
Probably Leo was also influenced by Jewish and Islamic rules. And those rules reflected an even earlier East Mediterranean taboo.
Many local people felt that it was wrong to make any images of the gods, or even of men and women who looked like the gods. Leo said all these icons should be destroyed, and he destroyed some himself to show the way. We call this iconoclasm (i-KON-oh-klaz-um).
The people who wanted to still have icons we call iconodules (i-KON-oh-dools). Leo’s men destroyed thousands of icons all over the Roman Empire. Many of these icons were ancient Greek or Roman statues that were great works of art. People burned these statues in lime kilns to make mortar to build medieval houses and churches.
Pope Gregory II in Rome objected to this destruction of the idols, and when he died about 730 his successor Gregory III also objected. From here on the Eastern and Western churches hated each other.
When Emperor Leo died in 741, his son Constantine V succeeded him, and continued his iconoclastic policies.

A paved multi-use path will move forward after the town attorney advised Carrboro leaders Tuesday night that delaying or scrapping the project could cost the town $400,000 and future federal funds.
The Board of Aldermen took no action to delay the project, so it will move ahead as scheduled.
With more than a dozen speakers lining up to object to paving segment 1B of the Bolin Creek Greenway Creekside Trail, it was attorney Bob Hornick Jr.’s report that framed the argument for the board.
“The town has already spent $170,000 on the project this year in design and engineering costs,” he said. “NC DOT says that they have spent $120,000 so far. Fred Smith, the contractor, has spent somewhere between $75,000 and $100,000 so far.” Hornick said the town would likely have to reimburse the state and pay the contractor for expenses he has incurred.
The state Department of Transportation is the administrator of the federal funds allocated for the project. If there are changes to the project that would affect the easements or cause significant delays, the federal funds will be “disencumbered” said Hornick, forcing the town to re-apply and hurting its chances for winning grants.
McDonough told the board Carrboro’s staff and citizen advisory boards would be devastated by such action. “Why should (Planning Director) Trish McGuire come to work?” he asked.
I don’t love this, but I like it a lot better than throwing away almost three quarters of a million dollars.
Cross country coaches David Mabe and Joan Nesbit Mabe, many of their students and their parents have concerns about the multi-use paved path intersecting with the Chapel Hill High School’s training path. The new multi-use path will be available for walkers, cyclists, roller bladers and people in wheelchairs to roll and stroll along Bolin Creek from the Claremont neighborhood to Chapel Hill High School without walking or biking on or beside a busy roadway.
The pathway is funded through several federal grants and will provide an ADA-compliant surface on which wheelchairs can navigate safely. Accessibility to natural areas for people with disabilities was an important element of the project design according to town officials.
Where there had been three intersections with the cross country trail, causing concerns for the safety of runners and cyclists, McGuire reviewed a minor design change to the cross country trail that would eliminate two of the intersections and not compromise the DOT and federal grant requirements regarding the project remaining within the approved easements.
The aldermen agreed that the compromise, while not ideal, was a good path forward. “Delay would mean that we are abandoning the existing approved project,” said Alderman Damon Seils.
Alderwoman Jacquie Gist agreed. “I don’t love this, but I like it a lot better than throwing away almost three quarters of a million dollars,” she said.
Alderwoman Bethany Chaney urged the board to take their lessons from the communications disconnect between the town and the school district. She urged the board and staff to think about improving the processes that inform people affected by very large and long-planned projects. “We should look at who gets to sign off? Who gets to have a say?” said Chaney, who is also helping the town create its first youth advisory board.

Hello Roadies, Angela here! This year I made a huge production of Valentine’s card but today one is absolutely the one I prefer. First, because is pink and sparkly gold, second because is funny thanks to Sassmaster Stamp. Let’s dive into the process on how I made this card.
The card is made out of a regular A6 white cardstock base with a pink woodgrain paper on the top. Before adhering the woodgrain panel, I cut off a strip large enough to host the sentiment, about half of an inch. I stamped the sentiment directly on the white cardstock base. Then, I adhered the woodgrain panel and the little strip using foam adhesive, to give dimension.
I also embossed with glitter gold a fine line along the edge of the card, to match the heart and give more interest to the card. Last, since I hardly live without splatters, I added a few drops of pink and gold ink here and there and a few light pink sequins.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my fun card and are inspired to create your own version of Sassmaster card.

Are You Bored Learning The Guitar?
Is learning the guitar boring for you and not quite what you expected it to be? Do you take guitar lessons but don’t feel that they are paying off? Does the process of learning guitar seem too tedious and repetitive? I know all too well the feeling of boring guitar lessons that just make you want to give up. After reading this article, you will likely gain some insight as to why you may not be having as much fun as you should be, and some possible remedies for your situation.
Here are 6 reasons why you may not be having fun learning the guitar, and what you can do about it.
This is a big one. Of course, if you are taking lessons from a teacher but you are not receiving the desired results, it is time to make a change! However, I know of many guitar students who did not realize that their lack of progress was due to ineffective teaching strategies. Obviously, as a student, you may not know what kind of progress to expect. Just know that I have met guitar players who have learned for years (yes, years!) from teachers and I was astounded at their lack of knowledge and progress. The truth is, they always thought it was their own fault and they just did not have it in themselves to reach their desired skill level. Guitar lessons should enable you to independently do all the things you want to on guitar.
If you learn something, a technique, music theory concept, a scale, lick, arpeggio etc, you need to implement it. See, knowing something is totally different from being able to execute it in a real life musical context. If you don’t practice implementing it, you eventually lose the skill or knowledge because it wasn’t relevant to you. Even if you retain the knowledge, what good is it if you don’t use it?
Before I got good guitar coaching, I didn’t realize that I was getting poor guitar coaching. I innocently thought that all guitar lessons were the same, so it didn’t matter whether I went to one music school or another. It didn’t matter to me whether I was taking lessons from one teacher or another. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I didn’t really enjoy the lessons that much and eventually quit lessons because of it. I then decided to teach myself and was having a lot of fun doing so, but sacrificed years of progress by trying to learn on my own.
Of course, now I know that there is no real substitute for a good guitar teacher – imagine guitar lessons that are so fun that you look forward to them every week and can’t wait to get back home to practice what you learned. Imagine knowing that you WILL reach your guitar playing dreams and can see it happening. Why would you take lessons from anyone else!
If you keep doing the same old things day in, day out, it will get boring! There are many different elements that go into the process of learning guitar, so there’s lots of things to work on. Of course, you don’t want to go about it in a random fashion, so your practice routines should incorporate different categories of exercises, and also different exercises within each category. Even if you are working towards overcoming a specific element in your guitar playing, there are loads of ways of varying just one exercise so that it does not become stale. A good guitar teacher can help you out in this area if you are unsure of what you can do.
If you are a student of the guitar, learning ‘new things’ is usually fun, but it is usually on the surface level. Here’s what I mean. Before I had a good teacher, I used to browse the internet for all kinds of information in pursuit of becoming a better guitar player and to increase my music knowledge. While it was interesting and exciting to read and learn new things, I realized that I didn’t really ‘learn’ anything. I couldn’t do anything with the information I learned, and even worse, once the novelty of the new idea wore off, I didn’t bother with the piece of information anymore. I was ‘seduced’ by learning new things all the time that it distracted me from pursuing what I needed to focus on. Over time, I found that I was not having fun learning anymore because it didn’t really help me get better. In short, don’t get distracted by shiny objects!
I have met many aspiring guitar players who simply do not know what they want to do on guitar. They haven’t set any targets to aim for, and end up not really achieving anything. Think about this – if you do not have goals, how would you even create a practice routine that ensures you are focused on any outcome of any kind?
Set short, mid and long-term goals for yourself so that you don’t get distracted and you can keep progressing in the direction that will ultimately lead you to your goals.

I really liked this. You're right, there is something about that level of extremity that makes everything vivid. And food! There is very little that tastes as good as food after a ride.
Hopefully you had enough clothes that you didn't have to climb back into the grimy jersey the next morning. Was laundry available on the ride?

← LWS Chapter 31 How Can That Person Not Realize?
Su Yan sat down at the counter and opened his notebook once again. He wanted to see if there was maybe some hint as to where he could find that caregiver character that he had overlooked before.
Su Yan raised his brows. Had he already completed the second task? How … Oh. Caring for others, that was what Nie Chang had done, wasn’t it? It seemed his friend wasn’t just a hero but also a caretaker.
Su Yan sighed. He should probably thank him again. Well, he’d do that later. For now, he wanted to know what the next task was. This task line actually wasn’t bad. He didn’t get to know that much about the different archetypes but it was a beginning. And the reward the System had promised him might go into more detail anyway.
He clicked on the button for the next task and raised his brows: [Asking the sage for advice] was the title and it told pretty much already what this part of the task line was about.
[The sage archetype is often but not solely found in stories that also include the hero. If the hero is stuck, he will meet the sage and ask him for advice. But not only the hero will encounter the sage archetype.
Su Yan pursed his lips. This task was once again relatively easy and didn’t seem too strange. His trust in the Lovely Writing System slowly grew. Maybe this System was just a bit weird in the beginning to see who had the persistence to try beyond this initial stage. It wouldn’t be a wonder. After all, not everybody could get a system. This might just be a test.
Ah, thank god he hadn’t given up! As an aspiring author, Su Yan naturally didn’t lack imagination. Thus, he had easily found an alternative explanation for all the bl tasks in the beginning.
In a happy mood, he started to ponder how to solve this task. There wasn’t much he was puzzled by. The most important thing would probably be the System but that wasn’t something he could talk to just anyone about. After all, who would believe him? And even if the person believed him, who knew what the consequences would be? No, he could talk about it only with someone he absolutely trusted.
Su Yan’s lips twitched. That only left one person, though. He’d have to ask Nie Chang. Again.
Su Yan looked doubtfully at the screen. Wasn’t it kind of strange that the person used to demonstrate these first three archetypes was always the same person? Or did the System want to tell him something with that?
Eh? That was actually something puzzling, too.
Su Yan took out his phone and opened WeChat. Who said he had to ask his sage in person?
Su Yan snorted. Can you be any less arrogant?
[Wanna ask me?] Nie Chang didn’t forget to send him a smug smiley with that message.
Su Yan was really reconsidering right now. Maybe it would be better to say that this was the first task that didn’t have anything to do with Nie Chang. But in the end, it was still true. He should just admit it.
[You’re really a sage!!!] Su Yan put his phone down without waiting for an answer and eagerly looked at the screen of his notebook.
Of course, the System already knew what had happened and the task was checked. This was definitely the task he had needed the shortest amount of time to finish.
Well, he hadn’t taken much time for the two tasks before either. Mn, the task line had been called character basics so this was probably like a tutorial. It was to be expected that it didn’t take much time. He would probably be done with it in a few days and then the real quests would start.
Su Yan wasn’t that wrong with his assumption. It was questionable if he would like the real quests the Lovely Writing System had prepared for him, though.
He didn’t think about it and just clicked to get to the summary for the sage task and then start the next one.
