Since February 2022, Lieutenant Colonel Makarov of the Guards has been carrying out the tasks of a special military operation (SVO) in Ukraine. Competently and skillfully managed the actions of his subordinates. In the period from February 24 to February 28, 2022, the crews of combat vehicles under his personal leadership covered the amphibious assault groups in the area of Gostomel airfield in the Kiev region.
On March 5, 2022, during the performance of combat missions in the area of the settlement of Moshun (Buchansky district of the Kiev region) under enemy fire, he led the fire defeat and correction of the regiment's artillery fire on the identified targets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), covering the actions of the reconnaissance company. By his example, he inspired the battalion's personnel to take bold and decisive actions. Risking his life, showing courage and heroism, led him into battle. During the capture of the fortified area that covered the bridge over the Bucha River and was a strategically important object in the issue of control over the city of Irpen, the battalion commander promptly organized reconnaissance of the enemy's defense system and personally led the actions of the assault groups.

Lieutenant Colonel Makarov skillfully organized the battle, competently controlled the fire of combat vehicles, maneuvering the battalion units in a timely manner, inflicting fire damage to the enemy and retreating to a safe line, which allowed avoiding large losses among the personnel.
On May 23, 2022, during the movement of the command post, while holding a section of the railway track, he discovered the enemy's secret and personally destroyed three militants. As a result of a short fire contact, he was wounded, but remained in the ranks. When exiting the battle, he evacuated the wounded battalion chief of Staff.
During the performance of his tasks, in a difficult combat situation, he was constantly in particularly dangerous areas, maintained high morale and the moral and psychological state of subordinates, which contributed to the successful completion of tasks by the battalion.
On January 17, 2023, Lieutenant Colonel Makarov heroically died of the Guards, until the last moment he led the actions of subordinates.
He was buried at the Balino cemetery in the city of Ivanovo.
By the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation ("closed") dated May 6, 2023, Lieutenant Colonel Makarov Alexander Dmitrievich was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation (posthumously) for courage and heroism shown in the performance of military duty.

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 7 Ep. 115: A Friendly Competition
The Story of a Family Told in Web Comic Format
---------------------------------------------
Shortly after Paul joined the boys in their Strangerville quest, they all got together again with the whole extended family at the Humor and Hijinks Festival.
The elder twins had many fond memories of evenings spent with their own parents at the event and hoped to bring that fun to the next generation.
Peachy convinced his fellow teens to join him in practicing comedy for the jokesters, while the grown ups preferred to side with the pranksters.
It looked like a friendly family feud was on the menu tonight!
https://preview.redd.it/zpwjmpj2m64b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=71939748728f983b7bdac512dc325153d109b079
---------------------------------------------
To make it fair, Great Grandpa Don joined the kids, making their groups an even six vs six with roughly equal (if unevenly distributed) years of experience.
Each team imbibed the tea that would designate them as a member of their faction and headed off to have some fun.
https://preview.redd.it/nu7qh7g3m64b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=d026dc0d230cdf2316503b009a5008b659fef867
---------------------------------------------
Don’s life experiences were initially holding him back, the golden tea not enough to offset his sadness over his recent divorce from Jasmine.
When he poured out his woes to his grandson and old friend Ed, the pair suggested he come stay at the farm with them for awhile. He gratefully accepted the offer, knowing he’d be much happier surrounded by family and friends than living his current, lonely life.
https://preview.redd.it/zolcejt3m64b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=7fff660aba4daf7c3001923d862869e3faa52b9e
---------------------------------------------
The pranksters started out strong, but quickly lost a couple of their members when Kori’s paranoia drove her to flee the crowded fairway.
She, Ed, and Gabby retired to the Arts Center across the way, where Kori found her playful spirit again in the quiet confines of the upstairs game room.
https://preview.redd.it/8ttjnj54m64b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4dc2a520fa29595d799f659f3f78519c4e8d270b
---------------------------------------------
Tori spotted a famous jokester among the attendees and rushed off to tell her cousin that the comedy star was “in the house”.
Peachy’s first attempt at showing Mr. Zest how much he had learned fizzled due to start-struck nervousness. Fortunately, just as his idol was turning away, the boy comedian blurting out the lead-in to one of his most popular zingers and earned the laugh he’d been hoping for.
Whether or not his team won the overall event, this alone made the evening a win to remember in Peachy’s book!
https://preview.redd.it/k5i9hwf4m64b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=16583e171a9046d0cec66f45707db63b6c20f344
---------------------------------------------
After wining some laughs from his father, Paul also headed over to the Arts Center. He wasn’t nearly confident enough to take on the festival’s main open mic for aspiring comedians, but the quieter performance room at the center was also available. He happily practiced his one-liners in semi-privacy there.
Back outside the twins came together to reminisce happily about how time had changed things. It seemed like only yesterday they’d traveled here with mom and Nobi as teens themselves, and now they were the “old Sims” and their teens were off running around together.
https://preview.redd.it/87zvg135m64b1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=e30a2fc1e4b786a19e8f329a45a2ab190260582e
---------------------------------------------
After his success with Johnny, Peachy felt like he could conquer anything and happily took over the festival mic to give a little stand-up performance.
At the end of the evening the jokesters emerged victorious. The older Sims congratulated their heirs on a job well done before taking some time to enjoy the fireworks display lighting up the night sky.

2005 - Michael was taken to an emergency room for treatment of a back problem.
Accompanied by a bodyguard, he arrived at the Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital, about five miles from Neverland at roughly 2:30 p.m.
"Mr. Jackson's back has spurred up on him again.He’s under a tremendous amount of stress right now", spokeswoman Raymone Bain said at an impromptu news conference outside the hospital, "Other than his back, he is doing fine.″
Michael left the hospital in a SUV shortly after 8 p.m. in a flurry of activity. His aides erected white scaffolding outside the emergency room entrance to block the view of photographers gathered outside.
2009 - Michael attended rehearsals
2013 - Jackson v AEG Trial day 24
No Jackson family is in court
Randy Phillips Testimony
Jackson direct
Brian Panish resumed questioning. He showed several instances where Randy Phillips said one thing in deposition, another while on the stand. Panish asked Phillips which answer was right. He answered:
"Do you want the truth or do you want what I testified?"
Panish asked Phillips if he knows the corporate structure of AEG Live. He said it was under AEG, but he doesn't know who exactly owns AEG. Panish showed a board meeting agenda on 5/26/09, in which they were to talk about Michael's tour
Panish played the interview Phillips gave Sky News saying AEG hired Dr. Murray. Phillips said he meant AEG hired the doc on behalf of Michael. Phillips said AEG's media person set up several interviews for him after Michael's death. Phillips said each interview was different, but the intention was to say AEG hired Dr. Murray on behalf of Michael. "It's called the truth."
Randy Phillips was asked about meetings with Conrad Murray at Michael Jackson's house. He confirmed Jackson's weight was discussed during at least one of the meetings. He was a bit unclear on dates, so Jackson's weight may have been discussed at two meetings. Panish tried to use a police report of an interview with Phillips and detectives to refresh his recollection
Randy Phillips (AEG Live CEO) said there were numerous inaccuracies in the report. Panish started to ask him to go through it methodically. "We don't need to do it line-by-line', interjected Judge Yvette Palazuelos. Phillips then keyed in on two areas he said were inaccurate.
Phillips said LAPD's detective made a mistake in the written police statement attributed to him. Phillips said he never told LAPD "Randy stated that Kenny got in Michael's face, at which time Dr. Murray admonished Randy..." "The police made a mistake," Phillips said. "He (detective) misconstrued what was said and made a mistake." Dr. Murray got in to and admonished Kenny Ortega and told him not to be an amateur doctor, Phillips said he told the police.
Phillips read one statement about a meeting at Jackson's home between himself, Conrad Murray and director Kenny Ortega. Report: Randy stated that Kenny got into Michael's face, at which time Dr. Murray admonished Randy, stating, "You are not a doctor. Butt out".
Phillips said the police made a mistake. "If you read it, it makes no sense," Phillips said.
Phillips keyed in on how the report mentioned Murray got in his face, when it more than likely was Kenny Ortega he admonished. "I believe the Los Angeles Police Department is a fine entity as I believe in this judicial system," Phillips explained.
Phillips pointed out another mistake in LAPD's report. It states Phillips/Gongaware produced 2 Michael Jackson tours but Phillips said he wasn't involved. Phillips also said the police report said he and Paul Gongaware worked with Jackson over the course of 16 years. Phillips said that was wrong - Gongaware worked with Jackson that long, but he hadn't. Those were the two inconsistencies Phillips pointed out in his police report. Interview apparently wasn't taped at request of AEG attorneys
As to Michael missing rehearsals, Phillips clarified:
"Michael was showing up to rehearsal, just not to enough of them, in Kenny's opinion"
Phillips remembers one phone call with Dr. Murray that lasted probably about 25 minutes. Phillips told Panish he'd know how many times he called Dr. Murray because the attorney subpoenaed the exec's phone records. Panish said he never subpoenaed any phone records, that it was LAPD that did. Phillips said he made an assumption. The only phone call Phillips remembers is the one that Dr. Murray called him on June 20, 2009
In his deposition, Phillips said Paul Gongaware never communicated to him about the email that AEG, not Michael, was paying Dr. Murray. Phillips said at the deposition it was the first time he ever saw Gongaware's email. Panish showed the email that was forwarded to Frank DiLeo and Phillips was cc'd containing the mention that AEG, not Michael, pays Dr. Murray. Phillips said he never received the email. Then, after being shown the email at deposition, Phillips said he didn't remember receiving it. On the stand today, Phillips said he received Gongaware's email. Panish grilled Phillips pointing out he changed his answer three times. Phillips said he answered the same thing, but with different qualifications. "Frankly, I don't remember reading Paul's email, I was more concerned about Kenny's email," Phillips said. At this point, most jurors seemed to be tuned out when Phillips didn't give straight answers
Panish showed an email dated 6/17/09 from Phillips to Dr. Tohme:
Kenny Ortega, Gongaware, DiLeo, his doctor named Conrad from Vegas and I had an intervention with him to get him to focus and come to rehearsals yesterday. Getting him fully engaged is difficult and the most pressing matter as we are only 20 days out from the first show
Phillips said it was not an intervention, but a meeting. He said it had nothing to do with drugs.
Panish asked the executive if Jackson had ever fired Tohme. "It's not a yes or no answer", he said, "The answer is yes but he kept in contact with him"
Phillips was asked about a lunch meeting he had with Jackson's former manager Tohme Tohme, at the Polo Lounge, about a month ago. AEG attorney, Marvin Putnam, was present too.
Panish: "And you were discussing his testimony in this case at the Polo Lounge with him?"
Phillips: "I wasn't"
Panish: "You know there were witnesses sitting around you? You know people took pictures of you?"
Phillips said he didn't remember exactly what was discussed.
Phillips:"I don't remember what I ate"
Panish: "I didn't ask you what you ate"
Phillips said the meeting had to do with the case Tohme filed against Jackson's estate with the state labor board for money he was never paid. Phillips was a witness.Panish said he would have a witness who could testify about what was discussed at the table later in the trial. Panish asked Phillips if he testified at Tohme's Labor Commission hearing to "try to help him out." Phillips said no. "I was completely impartial," Phillips said of testifying at the labor hearing. "I was an impartial witness." (After court, AEG attorney Marvin Putnam, who was at the lunch meeting, said it was standard for attorneys to interview witnesses before they testify. It remained unclear whether Tohme Tohme will testify during the Jackson vs AEG Live trial)

Panish: "Isn't it true, sir, that when Dr. Murray was hired no one was acting as Michael Jackson's personal manager?"
Phillips: "He had someone in that capacity. My understanding was Frank DiLeo was his manager"
Phillips said AEG advanced DiLeo $50,000 at MJ's direction.
Phillips said he didn't know anything about Dr. Tohme in January 09 other than he was a consultant for Colony Capital and repped Michael.
"With Michael Jackson and his advisers you needed a scorecard", testified Randy Phillips. Phillips said he was introduced to Tohme in a meeting at the Century City offices of Colony Capital, the investment firm that held the mortgage on Jackson's Neverland Ranch. It was AEG owner Phillip Anschutz's friendship with a Colony Capital partner that led to the firm's promotion of the planned 50 This Is It concerts. Phillips said Tohme was an adviser to Colony Capital who had no background in the music business and represented no other clients when he began working with the singer. Brian Panish asked Phillips what kind of doctor Tohme was, whether he was a physician or if he had a doctorate. Phillips said that although he had met this doctor 25 times, he never asked him
Randy Phillips was also asked about Tohme's $100k/mo. contract between him, AEG Live and Michael Jackson. Phillips said he could recall of only one other instance where AEG Live paid a fee for the artist's manager. He said it was a standard practice for Michael Jackson during his career. Phillips said Bon Jovi has a similar deal. Phillips said in Michael's career they always paid his personal manager.
Randy Phillips denied that he told Sharon Osbourne that AEG Live had kept all the money from ticket sales for This Is It. "That would be the most idiotic thing in the world" to say, Phillips said of the statement attributed to him in the Osbourne conversation.
Panish: "Did you talk to Sharon Osbourne about the show?"
Phillips: "No, not to the extent that Sharon is alluding to"
Phillips said he ran into Sharon at the lobby of their building. She asked how it was going, he said it's tough but we're going to get there. Phillips said the encounter with Sharon Osbourne was just a hi and bye. They never talked about ticket sales or anything else related to Michael
93% of the This Is It tickets sold were refunded, Phillips said. "7-8% people elected to hold the tickets as souvenirs." Out of $75 million in sales, AEG kept more than $5 million, which Phillips said they gave back to the estate.
Phillips testified it was a "miracle" that the singer showed up at a news conference in London to announce his comeback. Randy Phillips testified that Jackson was hung over, although in emails he says the singer was drunk. "The fact that the press conference even happened is a miracle," Phillips wrote to Jackson's manager.
Panish: "Was Mr. Jackson drunk?"
Phillips:"No, to the best of my knowledge no".
Panish: "Was he despondent?"
Phillips:"No"
Panish produced an e-mail writted by Phillips to AEG President Tim Leiwicke the day of the news conference.
Phillips said:
Michael is locked in his room drunk and despondent. Tohme [another Jackson manager] and I are trying to sober him up and get him to the press conference with his hairdressemake-up artist
Leiweke's response:
"Are you kidding me?"
In a second email to Leiweke, Phillips wrote:
I screamed at him so loud the walls are shaking. Tohme and I have dressed him and they are finishing his hair and then we are rushing to the O2. This is the scariest thing I have ever see. He is an emotionally paralyzed mess riddled with self loathing and doubt now that it is show time. He is scared to death. Right now I just want to get through his press conference
After showing the e-mails to the jury, Panish asked his witness if he had yelled at Jackson on the day the e-mail was written.
Phillips: "In the two-and-a-half hours this all took place, if you take it out of context the answer won't make any sense"
The executive later acknowledged, "I raised my voice"
Panish: "So the answer is no? Did you or did you not scream at Mr. Jackson? Yes, no or I don't remember?"
Phillips said he couldn't answer the question.
At his deposition six months earlier, before he was shown his e-mails, Phillips denied that Jackson was either drunk or despondent on the day of the president conference, and denied yelling, saying he merely "raised his voice."
Phillips says he was telling the truth in his deposition, and was not accurate in his email. "I was relaying what Dr. Tohme told me... I wrote it as fast as I could write it."

Panish:"You have to yell pretty loud to make the walls shake. Do you have a tendency to exaggerate?"
Phillips: "No." 
To another business associate, Phillips wrote:
"I haven't pulled it off yet. We still have to get his nose on properly. You have no idea what this is like. He is a self-loathing emotionally paralyzed mess... I just slapped him."
Phillips admitted, "I slapped him on the butt"
Phillips began worrying about Jackson backing out of the concert tour just a month after he signed the contract with AEG Live to promote and produce it and more than a week before the announcement.
"I was worried that we would have a mess, his career would be over," Phillips testified. "There were a lot of things I was worried about."
But instead of pulling the plug then, before millions of dollars were spent, AEG LIve chose to force Jackson ahead.
"Once we go on sale, which we have the right to do, he is locked," Gongaware wrote to Phillips.
Phillips testified it was "a very tense situation" and "frankly, I created the tension in that room. Because I was so nerve-racked, OK, the time slipping away, and his career slipping away."
AEG was hosting thousands of Jackson fans and hundreds of journalists for the anticipated announcement, which would be seen live around the world.

How To Improve Gas Mileage?

https://preview.redd.it/h4um1qfmi64b1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=990992d20437ecd6f56b31932a3cec8a86c98832
If you search online for methods showing how to improve gas mileage you will come across multiple solutions. However, they fail to describe the main factors that you have to take into consideration. These suggestions will help you to determine the best course of action whether you intend to buy a new car or make necessary modifications to your current vehicle. Here are the main factors that will give you an idea of how to improve fuel economy.

TYPE OF THE CAR

Have you ever seen a car that is fuel-efficient, can withstand high load and is convenient for family trips? Such cars don’t exist because they are entirely different categories depending on the purpose that they serve. Even manufacturers have one of these criteria in mind while creating a new car.
We can categorize vehicles into three main categories: cars (including sedan, coupe, hatchback, station wagon, minivan, and convertible), SUVs, and trucks. Nowadays, there are many cross-overs that cannot be categorized solely under one of these categories. However, to make comparison easier we will neglect such abnormalities for now.
Cars are mostly built on passenger car chassis and tend to be more fuel-efficient than SUVs that in most cases are built on truck chassis. In some cases, Minivans will have almost the same features as SUVs. SUV’s mostly have at least 5 mpg lower fuel consumption and will not be convenient for those who are willing to sacrifice everything for good fuel efficiency. Trucks are meant for high load transportation and it is understandable why there is no point to compare their fuel consumption with other types of automobiles. Even though you may know the tricks on how to increase mpg but the comparison still will be pointless.

THE ENGINE SIZES

When manufacturers create a car, they already have in mind whether it will be a sports car, off-road car, or a car for ordinary daily life. The purpose of the car determines the size of the engine that it requires. As you may have guessed sports cars and off-road cars require a significantly strong engine. Even though they will thrive in such situations they will also have significantly low fuel efficiency.
How to get better gas mileage? As you have seen sports cars are just meant to have low mpg. You may try to drive calmly but this still will not give as good mpg as other types of cars have. Replacing some parts with low-performance ones will definitely improve the results but it doesn’t make sense as we will go against the notion of a sports car.
On the other hand, ordinary cars that are meant for everyday driving have an engine size that is only required. Even though they might not be useful for speedy driving they serve their purpose brilliantly. However, you have to take into account that pushing your car to exceed its limits will cause extremely low mpg and will put too much stress on your car. If you have a modest automobile and frequently use it for speedy or off-road driving you may have worse fuel efficiency than other cars with higher engine sizes.
Some people replace the engine to reset the odometer without thinking about fuel efficiency. If you upgrade your motor, the chances are you’ll increase gas consumption. So, if you’re thinking about engine replacement, don’t forget to take gas mileage into consideration.

DRIVING HABITS


https://preview.redd.it/wf4s3r1vi64b1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e151d6fa609d79a8062915cc24d7a8d1ba951a4
If you compare the mpg of two identical cars you will notice that they will not show identical results. Prompt acceleration, extremely slow driving, and many other factors will determine the fuel efficiency of your automobile. If you often get into traffic congestion you will be aware that starting and stopping a car consumes much more gasoline and steady driving around the city. Hence, the way you drive your “best friend” will affect your monthly expenses for petrol.
As you may have guessed the answer to the question of how to increase gas mileage becomes much more straightforward. You may just have to change your driving habits and the problem will be solved.

AUTOMATIC VS MANUAL CAR TRANSMISSION

Manual transmission engines are less complex than automatics. Similarly, they have more gears and weigh significantly less. All these factors affect fuel consumption significantly. Manual transmission not only gives you more control over your car but also consumes much less gasoline compared to an automatic transmission.
Mechanically, we are always triggered to find the easiest solution. Hence, we sometimes favor automatic transmission. However, making such a decision becomes permanent as you cannot simply buy aftermarket parts and change from automatic to manual transmission at your will. Many car owners have the skills to change the air filter or any other component that doesn’t require the interference of the technician, but there are some factors that you cannot change after making a buying decision.

WEIGHT OF THE CAR

Have you noticed how the performance of your car deteriorates as you allow more people to sit there? That is because of the weight of your passengers. When the manufacturer determines the engine, the size they keep in mind the weight of the automobiles. Carmakers make sure that the vehicles that they produce are as lightweight as possible but they cannot take into account possible manual adjustments that the owner can make.
If you would like to enhance the appearance of your car you may make it widebody or add additional parts that will make it look better. However, this will make your “best buddy” less fuel-efficient. Similarly, make sure to remove any unnecessary load from your automobile. Even if they seem weightless together, they will still impact gasoline consumption. This will also put more stress on the engine and will affect its overall performance.
This may be the easiest solution when you ask yourself how to increase car mileage. Simply keep your car as lightweight as possible and you will be able to save money when it comes to fuel efficiency.

4-WHEEL DRIVE VS 2-WHEEL DRIVE

A 4-wheel drive (4WD) is also known as 4×4 and implies that the car supplies torque to both axles. This allows the owner to have better friction which is vital for off-road driving or many other purposes. On the other hand, most of the cars are 2-wheel driven (2WD) for city dwellers it is the most convenient option.
As you may have already guessed, 4WD means extra weight and more mechanical friction and is less fuel-efficient. Owning such a car may seem unnecessary if you mainly use it on good-quality roads. Similarly, 2WD doesn’t mean that it will be useless outside the city. Based on the specific characteristics of your car it can even outperform many 4x4s in certain conditions.

THE WELL-BEING OF THE CAR

As you know the condition of the car deteriorates depending on the time of its exploitation. Even seemingly uninfluential factors might have a crucial influence on fuel efficiency. Hence, it is always advisable to take it to a technician time by time especially if you notice something suspicious.
No one likes visiting a technician, especially for small issues. However, if you take into account the extra costs that you may have to pay for gasoline, it is worth the struggle. Similarly, being proactive always pays off as such problems can always develop into something more detrimental.
Not only will you improve fuel efficiency with regular maintenance, but you’ll also increase the lifespan of your car with proper car care.
Testing your car regularly could also help you detect problems when they are still minor. There is the better alternative. You can use the mileage blocker to test the functionalities of your car. Even though t has easy installation instructions, it’s important to purchase mileage blocker from Superkilometerfilter. You can always look through the support page or contact the customer center.

TIRE SIZE

Do you think bigger tires look much better on your car? if you do, you may have to consider extra costs associated with such enhancement. The tire size has a significant influence not only on the mileage of the car but also on the fuel efficiency as well. The bigger tires have more weight, generate more friction and more aerodynamic drag. Hence, they cause worse fuel efficiency of your car that will differ from case to case.

ROAD CONDITIONS

Let’s look at the statistics that clearly indicate why this factor is so important. According to Autolist, most cars achieve at least 5 mpg more when driving on a highway than on city roads. Similarly, roads that require prompt maintenance will also decrease mpg and will affect your monthly fuel consumption significantly.
As an example, we can look at the 2017 Mustang GT. It is quite fuel-efficient in his category as it gets 25 mpg on a highway but only 15 mpg in the city. As you can see the difference is quite noticeable but it will vary from car to car. If you consider buying a car take the road condition of your area into account.

OCTANE AND GAS MILEAGE

Have you ever noticed that sometimes your car runs out of gasoline much faster? Despite all the other factors that we have discussed above, the petrol station you use might be an issue. Fuel quality significantly affects the performance of your car, its health, and above all the fuel efficiency. To understand the reasons, we must know what octane means.
Octane rating is a measurement that determines the petrol’s ability to withstand compression before detonating. A higher-octane number means that car can withstand significantly more compression. Octane rating is usually represented by the numbers from 1 to 100 but is displayed by the names: regular, midgrade, and premium. However, filling the tank of your automobile with premium gasoline doesn’t truly guarantee premium quality. Some providers may categorize petrol under different categories compared to others. Similarly, such categorization might be exclusive to certain countries. For instance, in the US octane rating of 87 usually means “Regular”, 88-90 “Midgrade”, and 91-94 “Premium”.
High octane rating will allow you to run your car more efficiently. Hence, paying a premium at a gas station can save you more because of better mpg. However, before we jump to conclusions, we have to take into account the recommendations of car providers. Each provider suggests in the manual the optimal octane rating for the specific model of your car. Using higher octane gasoline than recommended will be a waste of money as it will not affect the fuel efficiency at all.

WHAT DOES YOUR CAR RUN ON?

Do you know a car that is fuel-efficient, comfortable, and super-fast? Aside from Tesla cars that are about to break all the stereotypes, such wonders are unprecedented among solely petrol-fueled automobiles. Nowadays, scientists are testing multiple sources of energy to fuel cars. However, petrol, diesel, electric, and hybrid cars are the main categories that most automobiles belong to.
If you are cautious about fuel efficiency you may have to change the car because of this criterion. For instance, it’s a well-known fact that diesel cars are more fuel-efficient than petrol cars. Similarly, hybrids allow you to use the advantages of a gasoline engine without sacrificing fuel efficiency. Electricity and petrol combinations help to get the best of both worlds. For instance, Toyota Prius offers outstanding 60 mpg efficiency.
Hybrids run by alternating between a conventional gasoline engine and a supplemental electric engine. This allows achieving on average 40-50 mpg. It is also a much cleaner option in terms of carbon emission than the best gasoline vehicles that were meant to be environmentally friendly.

TAKEAWAY

How to increase fuel economy? As you have seen the answer to this question depends on multiple factors. You have to make sure that you take into consideration all the factors that make a difference when it comes to fuel efficiency. If these suggestions still don’t solve your fuel efficiency issues, you may have to consider changing your car to a much more fuel-efficient option. To avoid such drastic changes, make sure that you pay close attention to all these factors before purchasing a car.

[Previous] Part 021 [Next]
<<<<><<<<><<<<>>
 Like Rats 
<<<<><<<<><<<<>>
Part Twenty-Two
Trains and Tails... In Space!
>>> Outer Colony - Yn Gyntaf Ymhlith y Ser <<<
>>> Starport - Diwrnod heulog, Bob dydd <<<
>>> Frontier Standard Date: 21-03-104 <<<
Shore leave for the group finally rolled around and so the little gathering rode a shuttle down planetside. Seren, Eira, Scanner, Zana and the seven Bridge Bunny brothers. Claiomh fada, Sciath bhabhta, Casur cogaidh. Saighead direach, Miodog gearr, Dhorn tapaidh, and Blath dearg. Most just referred to them as the Bridge Bunnies as a running gag with the crew and because they tended to do everything together. They were one of the few survivors of a raid and had been forced to fend for themselves for a month before aid would arrive. Ever since they had been practically inseparable. For Conin they were unusually quiet and reserved, except when on the bridge or playing games. When they had learned that Seren was a raid survivor as well they had opened up to him greatly. Of all the crew it was the Bridge Bunnies that empathized the most with the Dynol's struggles to cope with the aftermath of surviving.
Seren had packed some sunscreen and a complete survival kit, much to Eira's chagrin and amusement. "I keep forgetting you Dynol burn so easy." She herself had packed a few things but was keeping them secret. "Five bottles though?"
"Right. Yn Gyntaf Ymhlith y Ser is a hotter world due to a slightly closer orbit to its star. Higher UV index than even my skin can likely handle. So does not hurt to be prepared." he explained as they prepared to disembark.
"The forests provide alot of shade though so you should be fine. Now get ready!" Eira churred in anticipation.
The disembarkation ramp lowered and the shore leave team stepped down into a very bright world.
Seren got to the bottom and nearly got run over by the others as he stood there gawking. "...the screw?" The port itself was enough to cause him to pause. The style was reminiscent of Ancient Earth and the American Wild West with a heavy dose of Victorian England. A mixture of stone, brick and wooden structures. The usually angular straight Llygoden Fawr font adorning shops and signs was more curly, almost like question marks rather than straight or angled lines.
"...the screw?" The mode of dress though was more like the styles of Sixteen-Hundred era Age of Sail. Elaborate dresses and vests, broad collars and adorned hats. Sweeping gowns, snug bodices, and even boots which were a rarity amongst any of the starfaring species other than the Dynol and Rana/Salamandra.
But the real "... the screw?" were the people. At first glance they were your average Llygoden Fawr. That is until it settled in that something was wrong with this picture. The most striking was the tail. It was a fluffy bush to put any Vulpes-Vulpes to shame in its luxurious fullness. The faces were not as long and the eyes were a bit larger than average. The ears too were different, standing up and pointed. "Giant space squirrels... the screw???"
Eira was enjoying Seren's reaction and the others were getting a chuckle from it as well. "ahhhhh! Worth keeping it a secret just to see you phased by something."
"That is an understatement." he admitted as he continued to gawk.
Eira led her companion out of the way of the other visitors and explained. "Mutation. Similar to the splits in the Vulpes. Happened about a hundred years ago and with each generation instances increased ten percent. Some radiation from the sun was the cause, again much like with the Vulpes. There were some other less pleasant birth defects, some lethal, that we had to do extensive genetic screening to cull from the populace. The people now are a stable mutation and have been designated Wiwer Fawr."
"Do not stand outside unprotected long. Got it." He took in the sight and then a huge grin spread as he saw something pulling into a station off in the distance. A train. Or more to the point. A Llygoden Fawr style mono-wheel steam train. And after a bit he saw some of the squirrel folk ride past mounted on what looked nothing so much as a four-legged sparrow head... "Ok. That is something you do not see every day either." A carriage pulled by one of these beasts passed as well not long after that.
"Coesau plu? Yeah. They are native to the homeden and we exported the hardier ones here. We used to ride them in our early civilization stages. The electromagnetic field of the planet during stormy season messes with electronics to the point it was more cost efficient to just transplant the coesau plu and use them as mounts and drays like in olden times." She pointed at the mono-wheel train pulling to the distant station. "And same for the trains. It's like stepping back in time a thousand years."
"I take it the archaic mode of dress is protective?"
"Got it in one. All of a sudden the hat business saw a boom."
Seren glanced around thoughtfully. "If the planet is that troublesome then why colonize it?"
"It is one of the few we have come across with a breathable atmosphere, tolerable environment, and isn't bathed in lethal radiation. And the asteroid belt is big and mineral rich. The land itself does wonders for plant life as you can see." Eira pointed at the tremendous looking forest off to the east from the starport. "Colonists have adapted to an arboreal city structure away from the starport. The giant trees afford extensive protection from the sun." Here the white furred rat woman gave a little shudder. "Wouldn't catch me living way up there!"
"Says the rat girl who lives in a home that is hanging from the ceiling of a cave." So teased the Dynol.
"Hey now. Stone is very safe!"
Seren noted though that the common tricorn-like hats many males wore made sense from a protective design standpoint. The forward point shaded the snout and the back points shaded the ears. He got an explanation from Eira that the clothes also served to bleed off excess heat and had a passive cooling system built into every garment. "So why the archaic dress style?" he questioned.
Eira grinned. "A chunk of the early colonists turned out to be historical re-enactment buffs and since the buildings were less high tech why not have fun with it? The idea caught on and now it's their cultural thing. There is even a recreation of a thousand year old town and surrounding farmsteads further north in the cooler zone."
The Dynol took all this in and smiled more and more. "So what is the plan then?" he asked wile pulling out his silver reflective rat mask and donning it. The mask was treated against UV so was a better choice than his usual blister goggles. "I think we are all going to need at least hats pronto, yes?" Said with a worried glance at Scanner, Zana and the Bridge Bunnies who were all shielding their eyes with a paw as the looked around. "I doubt any of us wants to be holed up in a hotel all week right?"
"Right. There's a hat shop nearby for exactly that and right next door a visor shop. Both accommodate large folk." the Security Tech informed them. But I have something for you first." Here she pulled out a hat that was like a tall sloping hill with the long point in front and just a single short back facing point. Set in it was a white feather. "One of my distant cousins gave me this last visit. Never quite suited my style. But the blue happens to match your usual taste in off duty colors."
Seren accepted the gift and tried it on. "How do I look?"
Eira churrred with pleasure. "mmmmm! With the mask on you look like the Phantom Rider!" We need to get you fully dressed up now!"
"uh-oh!"
Scanner and the others of the party were still busy gawking as they had never actually made planetfall in all the years of being on Patrol. "Well this is different." the grey Backeneko drawled in amusement at the sight of the fluffy tailed Wiwer Fawr and the peculiar architecture.
Zana was looking wide eyed in delight at everything and her fluffy tail was practically vibrating with excitement. "They are so adorable!"
"Miss Zana. Please refrain from terrorizing the countryside hugging everything." Seren deadpanned. Vulpes-Canis were a very touchy-feely people and the large curly haired dog girl was like the poster pup for her species. She liked to just pick up the Dynol and hug him to death, or on coinciding lunch breaks she would sit him in her lap and idly pet him. The other Vulpes-Canis on the Patrol Carrier would do the same. Just not as grabby as the Wraith Pilot. She at least did not handle him while he was working. But she would sit and just raptly watch him work. The big dog folk's fascination with Dynol was well documented.
"Oh come on! I let you go... eventually." was accompanied by Zana's merry barking laughter and wagging tail.
Seren had to admit that the starfighter pilot had the reflexes to back up her rampant people pouncing. She could also beat him eight times out of ten at go-cart racing. "So what's the plan then Eira? You -did- have a plan? Riiiiight?" he nudged the rat alien.
"Sure do. I pre-ordered some steam train tickets to the great northern city of Gaer Garreg Werdd yn y Goedwig. It is a recreation of a fortress city from the homeden that was a major steam hub back in the day. It's now a sort of historical re-enactment with people acting out living the way folk used to." She displayed for all a paper map and traced a claw from the starport to their intended destination. "Big tourist attraction and there's a regular re-enactment of a raid by the Crwydriaid y Mor yn Dwyn Gwaywffyn, sea going aboriginals who raided inland every few years well into our early steam age. Quite a nuisance."
"Australia gets invaded by Hawaii." quipped the Dynol.
"I have no idea what you are referencing. But I know it is something embarrassing!"
They all made haste to the hat shop and it was Seren's turn to be embarrassed at being complimented for his Phantom Rider cosplay. Eira had her own hat as well. A white tricorn with a badge pinned to one side and several short square-ish red feathers sticking out back of it. "This is my dad's hat. He used to live here for a few years before getting his hauler gig."
"What is the badge for?" Asked one of the Bridge Bunnies.
"Ah that was for rescuing some folk who got lost in the deep forests. Dad was a pretty good tracker." Eira explained while tracing a finger round the brass badge. "The feathers represent how many people he saved. Six total."
The Bridge Bunnies each purchased high topped broad rimmed black hats with a green band around the base. They looked a bit like triangular witch hats with the point removed. Zana selected bonnet and Scanner donned her own green wild west style hat with one side pinned up. All the head-ware had built in heat dissipation materials to help disperse built up UV warming.
Next they ambled over to the clothes shop and here Eira helped Seren pick out a long coat in blue that went with his hat. "Yeah! Very Phantom Rider now! Just need to get you a silver steam pistol and a white coesau plu."
"Eira... Is this a vacation? Or dress up doll?"
"Why not both?"
Scanner picked out a woman's riding outfit in green while the seven lapine brothers all selected elegant coats and pants with buckled shoes. They looked reminiscent of Spanish aristocrats dressed so. Especially with the frilly lace. Zana dressed in a gown that spread out in all directions. She blushed so much it was visible through her cheek fur when Seren teased that she could hide all of the Bridge Bunnies under her petticoats.
All done with basic shopping they stopped by to say hello to Eira's distant cousin. This fellow was a Wiwer Fawr of a light brown fur pattern and blue eyes. "Eira ar y Blodau! Been three years since saw you last! Welcome Welcome!" He looked over the masked Dynol curiously. "Why are you so cute with that mask on? I am Gwynt Drwy'r Canghennau. You must be Llygaid Llawn o Ser my cousin has written about?"
"Probably unless she has more than one Dynol wrapped up in her tail." grinned the Systems Tech.
Gwynt grinned at that. "If the rumors are true then just one of you is more than enough." The squirrel-like alien and the human exchanged the double paw clasp greeting and then everyone padded over to an shaded eatery sized for small and large folk. "You hit a good time to visit. This is the cool season. Temperature will spike for three months during the hot storm season. Warm rain and high winds. Great for the plant life. But whooo! Don't plan on traveling!"
They got to try out the local quinine including bara haen fewnol, which was akin to a calzone stuffed with cheeses, a white cream sauce, ground nuts, lettuce and carrot equivalents, and strips of coesau plu meat for the omnivores in the group. Scanner and Zana had roast coesau plu with a selection of greens the two carnivores could ingest. From the store owner Seren learned that the Cozi Mari was picking up a shipment of meat to supplement the more carnivore sided crew's diets.
Gwynt would be joining the group as their guide while planet-side. Mostly just an excuse to catch up with Eira and socialize with aliens. "Not many offworlders stay long for obvious reasons. Too bad you Dynol can not improve the conditions here like are on the other colony."
"I am no terraforming expert, but the problem here is a bit more involved. Fixing it would require moving the planet's orbit or thickening the atmosphere to increase UV shielding. Any of which might disrupt the ecology established here." suggested Seren. "That is even assuming we could alter the orbit without wrecking the planet."
"Tis what I heard last time it was discussed. The trees here are dependent on the increased solar intake and adding more cloud cover might well cause them to weaken or outright die. There's also worry that thickening the atmosphere could increase the intensity and duration of the storms we get." A flick of the squirrel's bushy tail fore-back-fore showing his reluctant acceptance of that.
"It is a planet we Dynol would have passed on during survey simply because it would be more likely to make things worse trying to make it more agreeable for habitation. As is you need alot of tech solutions to stay here right?"
"Correct. But it is not bad once you get used to it and we have adapted to the environment slowly."
"At a cost." Seren pointed out.
Gwynt nodded. "At a cost yeah."
Seren shrugged. "Maybe in time a better solution can be had. Right now the tech just has not caught up to being able to handle a situation like this. So you are to be commended for sticking it out and finding solutions outside the box."
That perked up the tan furred squirrel and after everyone had eaten and gotten a drink they set about picking up another local to join on the trip. That being Gwynt's fiance Erlid Awyr y Nos. Erlid was a solid pitch black of fur and had bright red eyes. She was a shipping clerk for the starport. She also complimented Seren on his Phantom Rider cosplay. Much to Eira's continued entertainment at the Dynol's expense.
Finally it came time to board the train and Seren got to see first hand a functional and fully restored mono-wheel steam train. The engine and tender were were Thirty meters long and the main engine consisted of four interlinked mono-wheels. The series engine was surprisingly powerful and the train could pull eight-hundred unit-tons. Eira explained a little of the history as everyone boarded. "Very early on we developed parallel wheel designs. But one experimental company pushed for the mono-wheel design and it gained popularity and quickly muscled out other designs."
Gwynt added to this. Mono-wheels have always been a design aspect of transportation and no one is exactly sure when it supplanted other styles of wheels. Part of the success was very early gear and stabilizing breakthroughs."
"Due to the stopping problems when not used in series?" guessed Seren.
"Exactly. Early mono-bikes were more than a little harrowing to stop at speed." Gwynt grinned. "But were too fun to drop for safer designs. The basis worked fine. It was the sudden stops that kept leading to accidents. Speed laws were for a good while very strict. But people were always pushing it when out away from the dencities. Eventually someone hit on a pivoting gyro system to counter the rotation problem. The trains did not suffer that problem and just needed stationary bracing legs when at a stop."
The passenger cars were luxurious with padded seats and even a dining and lounge car. The sleeping cars were just as finely crafted of metal and wood. Each car of the mono-train was accessible via two doors, one on either side of each car's center-line wheel. Some luggage and cargo was packed into the lower parts of each sphere that comprised a car. The ride was scheduled to take a twenty-two hour day to cover some one-thousand kilo-units distance.
And so plans were made as to what to do during the shore leave at the re-enactment site and surrounding tree-city.

2023.06.05 12:54 LongFang4808 The Collapse of Humanity

It began with one simple law of the universe being undone. Most estimates believe that Gravity vanished for less than a fraction of a percentage of a second, but in that time nearly one billion people died. Another billion were believed to have perished in the resulting decade of chaos as governments struggled to reestablish themselves, most collapsing into the turmoil to be fought over by the survivors like starving hounds over a bone.
We thought we had made it past the worst, it was then that the mutants started appearing. Creatures manifesting from our nightmares into the flesh tore at us until we became monsters ourselves. Forcing those among us who changed, who could fight, between the monsters and ourselves, most barely children too young to remember the days before the world was flipped.
There weren’t enough of them, they weren’t strong enough, they weren’t allowed to become strong by our needs. Expendable, that’s what called them. It because true when we learned to make them. No. We didn’t make anything, we forced people to mutate in hopes they’d turn into something useful. We lied, told them they’d save the world, most ended up in the hidden crematorium in the basement, almost all wished we’d started with that, once the long term side effects started showing themselves. That project went up in flames, a simple gas leak followed by a spark of ignition erased our darkest secret and our only hope of winning this war. It is most likely for the best of all that all the information regarding Project X was destroyed, even if it had to be helped along.
I write now with confidence that everything was in vain. Our army of industrialized martyrdom lost. Seventy-three of our most powerful fighters were killed less than three days ago, God Hercules they’re calling it, the strongest of its kind. Tonight will be our last attempt. I have set aside just enough forces, stable and hopefully long lived, for the Ararat Project. Hopefully these fortress cities will find some way to survive, even if we only managed to populate ten of the original one-hundred.
I can only dare to hope that my successors in the distant future do not repeat my mistakes, that they don’t attempt to fight the whole world to retain a status quo that was already dead for decades. That they don’t twist the ones they are supposed to protect for whatever strength they can steal. That they find some way to win, to do more than survive at all costs, to live up to the name I gave us.

2023.06.05 12:44 Mulberry-Careless For the two new members here, Hi! Thank you so much for joining :D

For the two new members here, Hi! Thank you so much for joining :D
Hi, I'm extremely excited that you two are here to follow my crusade to reviving the best game of all time. I'm just gonna be doing random updates to show you were I'm up to at all times. For now, my focus is getting from where we are, to a full kickstarter for where I aim to crowd fund at least 50,000$ to be able to produce the best game I possibly can. I know we can do this, but it will take some time, but thankfully I'm extremely eager to achieve this. The type of kickstarter that I'd want my kickstarter to look like would be this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chefrpg/chef-rpg , but baby steps for now. Current goals for now: establishing music producer, establishing game logo, learning unity game engine, and help from yall. Music: I've emailed Yannis Brown, the original soundtrack designer for restaurant city, and requested if he would be interested in scoring this game for which he politely declined but recommended someone else for music. So ill just be investigating a little more to see what would be the best direction for soundtrack. For now, I like the sound of Tyler the Creator - 'Whoville' music. Imagine that song, with the sound of food cooking and people eating in your restaurant, and being satisfied with how it all looks together. My vision is very beautiful.
https://preview.redd.it/osaindx7e64b1.png?width=2744&format=png&auto=webp&s=3f2a1afaed3fceee2eece4ed37e6768cf8c5c2dd
Game logo: So far, I've hired a friend who is studying visual communication and graphic design at university to design my logo. We want it to be simple to the eye, and attractive for everyone who sees it, luring them in to playing the game. Similar to the moonglow bay logo, with a focus on orange colour. I think orange would be the best shining colour to use for Restaurant Odyssey, but what do you think?. This friend that I've hired is also down for designing every single object in the game for a steep price :0. But that'll come later with the kickstarter, but for now, get excited for the game logo, Id say itll be till the 10th or 11th of jun till I can show you what were repping forever, or at least concept designs.

Unity: I'm actually pretty well used to using C program from uni, and did one of the hardest courses in the computer department with C as the focal language, which was the worst experience of my life. The course not the C programming. This game will be run on Unity as I think that it has the most resources for learning, and I know a lot of impressive games built on it that I think restaurant odyssey would be piss easy to make with. So far, Unity requires C++, and im not sure how similar or different it is to C but I will find out the more I research and practice. I'd say I'm a pretty smart guy, studying engineering, major in software engineering at usyd, so I don't think it will take too long before I have this stuff down pact. Id say a strong amount of time before Im ready for serious development would be a month maximum.
Gameplan: The plan rn, I have it written down, - grow reddit, - establish some graphics for the game so that I can use it to decorate all the other social medias I plan on expanding to (this'll maybe take a week or so). - force my graphic person to make some objects to show to you guys (tables, chairs, fridge). - Learn the hell out of unity.
Help from yall: I wanted to ask, how would i be able to grow this community more, and try to reach all audiences that miss restaurant city, and audiences that would be interested in a game like this in general? I'm scared to put my all into this game for only a handful of people that actually play, I would love this community to be huge, and any tips from you guys could go miles for me and I'd really really appreciate it. Rn, the goal is 10 members, and slowly get bigger along the way, how would we be able to do that? I'm extremely new to reddit but I'm extremely hungry involving all aspects of this game, including the community, so please leave comments on what I should do, and maybe share this community to people that like this type of stuff aswell. Thank you all, till next time when I have more stuff to show.

2023.06.05 12:43 nointeraction0000 HELP : ets.org test dates schedule not updated

I'm trying to book a date for GRE general test in July. But for my city it shows no test dates available. So i checked with my city's test centre for the dates and they told me they do have the dates available for July for GRE general test. I contacted ets multiple times, a few times i was told that the dates are available and that i should wait (i waited but nothing happened) other times i was told that dates are simply not available or might have been fully booked (on checking with the test centre folks they still had the dates available). Test centre folks told me that ets isn't showing dates in July in my city for GRE as well as TOEFL. Anybody else faced similar issue? I'm on a clock to book the dates but idk how to tackle this problem

2023.06.05 12:38 mohonex DUI Tempe, AZ

I got my first DUI early Saturday morning and I’m sure as we all have, I feel like absolute garbage. I am 34 and have a clean record aside from traffic tickets in my early 20s.
I don’t know my BAC because I refused the breathalyzer. I don’t remember refusing, but I don’t see why that wouldn’t be the case. After lurking this sub all weekend, I realize BIG MISTAKE. I also was completely blacked out for a large portion of this. It’s all such a blur. I think I ran a curb but I know for sure there was no other person/vehicle involved.
Had a warrant for a blood draw and I remember that part and didn’t cause a fuss when they did that.
I start to remember at the discharge process and the officer being nice for how big of an asshole I probably was. My car got impounded and I got it out the next day/towed it home. Next I got a private lawyer. Not sure it’ll be worth it but I’d rather regret having them then not. Also filed a claim with my insurance for my car as I messed that up pretty well too but idk if it’s totaled.
My paperwork shows a violation of super extreme and I am absolutely terrified.
I already did the online MADD VIP. I have a meeting with my therapist today to tell them what’s going on and I plan on doing some Zoom AA meetings. My lawyer said prosecutors don’t put much weight with that but it’d definitely be something to use. I just feel like I need to do SOMETHING.
He also mentioned it was better to get a DUI in Tempe compared to other cities, like Mesa or Scottsdale.
I’ve only told one family member and a close friend who has gone through this.
It’s been a roller coaster all weekend. I felt ok Saturday and the anxiety set in last night and that’s why I’m up at 3:30a making a post on Reddit.
I feel so stupid. I’ve always been so good about calling an Uber. I can’t say that I’ve been perfect but to drink so much that I don’t even remember getting in my car? It’s honestly making me feel insane.
I’m expecting a high BAC from the blood draw but if anyone has a similar unfortunate experience, I’d appreciate any information or guidance.
messed up big time, yes, but I’ve seen some people on here get their charges reduced so I’m cautiously optimistic there.
I know I’m at the waiting stage until my lawyer gets all the info/reviews it. I just don’t want the book thrown at me and that’s what I’m most afraid of.
ETA: I think one of the violations was for drugs (officer’s handwriting is hard to read), but I didn’t take any so should that be reflected when I get my BAC back? Is it normal for them to list that on a citation? I am on prescription medication, but no controlled meds.

Get the course here: [Download Course] Dan Koe – Digital Economics Masters Degree (Genkicourses.site)
Our website: https://www.genkicourses.site/product/dan-koe-digital-economics-masters-degree/

What You Get

Phase 0) Digital Economics 101

The Digital Economics 101 module will open 1 week prior to the cohort start date.This is an onboarding module that will get you up to speed so we can get straight into the material.This will be required to finish before the start date.
  • Gain a deep understanding of all of the pieces in the digital economy.
  • Learn about the future of media and code — the front-end and backend of the internet — so you can focus your efforts.
  • Understand digital leverage, distribution, no-code tools, and digital assets so you can take part in the mental & financial wealth transfer.

Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful Niche

Every day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with what will sell.You already have the answer. You just don’t have the clarity.
  • Develop a long-term strategy to create your own niche — meaning you don’t have to worry about your “competition” playing status games.
  • Discover your life’s work, curiosities, and obsessions. I see too many people that are uncertain about this for years.
  • Cultivate and turn your vision, goals, and values into a brand that attracts an audience you love interacting with (and that will buy from you, and only you).

Phase 2) Content Strategy

There is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with. That they are congruent with and trust.It has to change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is:
  • Become an expert-level speaker or writer on the topics you care about.
  • Never run out of content ideas for your posts or promotions (without using content templates — that’s how you stay a commodity).
  • Create posts, blogs, tweets, images, and videos that resonate with other’s on a deep level. People will actually ask you how you got so good at what you do.
  • Separate yourself from the ocean of B-tier creators that struggle to sell their products, services, andhave their ideas stick in the head of their audience.
  • Implement our Epistemic Research Method — which is just a fancy way of saying scientific research method… but it’s for researching your mind to craft brilliant content and product ideas.

Phase 3) Crafting Your Offer

Most people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge (that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering 95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level (no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information, they want to be reminded of what works.
  • Use our Minimum Viable Offer strategy to start monetizing immediately (and have something to improve over time, rather than procrastinating until it’s perfect).
  • Have a strategy for reducing the time you spend working over time (as you build leverage and improve your offer).
  • Know how to create your own customers from the audience you are building, instead of “finding” the right customer for your offer.
  • Take the guesswork out of building coaching, consulting, or digital product offers.

Phase 4) Marketing Strategy

You aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way).
  • Learn to sell on social media, in your writing, and across different platforms.
  • Have consistent sales coming in while focusing on your meaningful message (no need to sound salesy all the time).
  • Learn advanced automation strategies that you can implement at your own pace, especially once you validate your offer.

Bonus) The Creator Command Center

The Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales.

Bonus) Live Product Build & Launch

In the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan.And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work.

2023.06.05 12:33 Cultural_Edge5086 OMG OMG сайт Omg darknet Омг онион

How to find the OMG store in Tor browser

The site is located on the darknet, so in search of an official mirror, you should look in the shadow directories. The entrance to OMG is usually located at the top of the screen when you go to the main address. To launch a link through Tor, you need a darknet domain zone. Such a mirror will provide privacy during your interaction with the trading platform. You can always find more information on the official OMG forum. There you will find up-to-date information if the main site is down.

How not to use the original OMG onion mirror

In order not to use a mirror, you need to bookmark your favorite link by clicking on the star stencil in the TOR browser. You can always support the project by making a donation in bitcoin. This can also be done from your btc crypto wallet. You may have noticed that in the OMG domain there are random numbers and symbols obtained like in roulette. This is the feature of the onion network — name generation is random. Therefore, links to OMG in the torus look like this. This ensures a stable anonymous connection between all participants in the trading platform.

What are the official OMG darkmarket mirrors

First of all, OMG!OMG! onion — this is the most popular working combination for site access. It is the fastest and safest on the Internet. Use it and look for alternatives only when you can’t enter the store using it. The analysis showed that there are six main mirrors and one main address. Which address to use is up to you, but we advise you to find a working mirror on the OMG darknet forum. If the main address is disabled, you can always access the alternative working link OMG!OMG! The darknet is distributed mainly in the onion project, so you should look for a link through shadow search engines that do not have censorship. The official OMG website is located at OMG!OMG! Be careful — in Google, Yandex, you can find fraudulent sites. Therefore, you should trust only trusted sources so as not to fall under the influence.

Correct link to OMG darknet

Using drugs is dangerous for your health!
In most developed countries, many types of drugs are legalized, but in Russia, the purchase is possible only on the Internet using the OMG darkmarket.
In order to always have access to the site, you need to download the Tor Browser. You can download Tor for free on the website of our partners (link in the comments). Use only official apps and don't click on questionable links.
Don't forget to save verified mirrors on your phone or computer. In case of a DDoS attack or other technical problems, use the links from the list in the comments.
You can buy goods around the clock in instant shops for bitcoin and rubles through an exchanger. Bitcoin exchange is possible through qiwi, through a bank (Sberbank, Tinkoff, Alfa, VTB), through a SIM card (MTS, TELE2, Beeline, Megafon). You can replenish bitcoin on OMG bot in any convenient way. If you want your transaction to be successful, you should pay attention to choosing a bitcoin exchange point. To view the rating of the exchanger, click «catalog». There you can also find the rating of stores. Verified exchanger — this is a special status and most likely it is a highly rated crypto exchange. You can replenish your personal account in any way indicated on the site. You can also deposit OMG through LocalBitcoins. To do this, you need to purchase coins on the exchange, and then send the transaction to the updated wallet of the trading platform.

Login to OMG!OMG! onion via TOR

The official OMG forum will help you find any products using the original link for tor. But what if you couldn't find the item you bought? In case of problems with the address, treasure or underweight, the buyer is obliged to open a dispute within 12 hours from the date of purchase. The OMG store reserves the right to refuse to consider a dispute in case of flooding, spam, insults or off-topic requests.
1. Address problem.
In case of error, inaccuracy of the address or lack of photos, the buyer can ask «Question on the order» or open «Dispute» The courier will definitely clarify the data in the near future.
2. Not found
If the area in the photographs of the hoard is not true, take a photograph of the place before starting the search.
If you were unable to find your item, open a dispute, attach clear photos taken during daylight hours from the perspective of a miner, describe the search process, at what time of the day you were looking for the treasure. The cladman's answer will be given no later than 24 hours from the moment of the request.
Compensation is not due in the following cases:
3. Underweight. Questions about the quality of the goods.
If you suspect underweight, please attach photos of the step-by-step unpacking of the goods so that we can identify our packaging. As well as a photo of the product inside the zip-lock and separately from it on special accurate scales.
Using drugs is bad for your health! On the site OMG! OMG! there are shop bumps, marijuana, hash, head, plan, and other types. In grams, you can buy any substance, such as mef, salt, mephedrone, cocaine, alpha pvp, surfactant or powder. In the search for goods, a convenient catalog will help you, where all the sellers are located. In Moscow or St. Petersburg, ordering a bookmark is very simple, there are couriers and staff. In Russia (RF) you can order in any city 24 hours a day. You can launch the OMG website in Tor Onion through the Tor Browser. To do this, you need to download the application on an android or ios phone, aka tor project on a PC. You can download Tor Onion browser for free by issuing google or duckduckgo.
Sometimes it's impossible to access OMG due to blocking. OMG Onion is the largest marketplace in the CIS countries where you can buy "shadow" goods for every taste.
To do this, you need to register an account (login, password, account name), replenish your wallet (among the methods you can specify both transfers from a regular bank card and payment systems (for example, QIWI), and direct deposits from crypto wallets) and select the product you are interested in.
Technical support and site administration are actively involved in resolving any issues that arise. The correct links to go to the site are on the darknet site OMG!OMG! onion. There are links for both regular browsers and TOR.

Finding and Flipping Tax Delinquent Properties the RIGHTway

The Tax Delinquent Blueprint online training program uses proven strategies for finding distressed homeowners severely behind on their property taxes. The training shows you how to uniquely beat out the competition with a Tax Assistance program.
In this online training program, there’s a step-by-step process for finding homeowners that need your Tax Assistance program performed on their property, and helps them get out from thousands of dollars in debt owed to the county. The Tax Assistance approach will always beat the “put cash in your pocket now” marketing any day of the week.
Here’s a comparison with the Tax Assistance marketing versus “I’ll put some money in your pocket” approach:
  • Average direct mail response rate using Tax Assistance: 38%
  • Average direct mail response rate using “Put Money in Your Pocket”: 1%
We’ve tested this marketing in 138 cities since 2014. The testing and tweaking to get the messaging correct took years to perfect. Many of our students get 30%, 40% and 50% plus response rates.
With the Tax Assistance marketing you’ll never hear from a heated homeowner again. You’ll receive inbound calls from property owners more than happy to speak with you about their situation, and how you can help them get out from an unfortunate position.
How would you like to speak with people that aren’t angry to talk with you?
I bet you would like to speak with people that aren’t immediately saying to you, “What’s your offer? Just give me your offer!”
With the Tax Delinquent Blueprint training we give you the tools to decrease your monthly marketing budget. Yes, that’s correct and not a typo. You’ll see how our system will help decrease your marketing budget drastically. The days of sending out 5,000, 10,000 or even 20,000 mailing pieces are over.
How can we decrease the marketing budget?
Simple, here it is:
  • We use “List Stacking” to refine our list
  • Only target those that need our help
  • Filter by areas we want to buy in now
We’ve been in this sandbox for years and have figured out the winning formula for giving us the competitive edge. If you don’t have the right message, you’ll get mediocre results. We have the right messaging and it works better than anything else.
The Tax Delinquent Blueprint training program includes 11 lessons including a final exam, 19 downloads downloads (deal documents, deal calculator, and phone scripts), and so much more. Most importantly you’ll receive our Tax Assistance direct mail marketing pieces that will get you high response rates, and happy homeowners calling you.

2023.06.05 12:13 faith_in_gasoline I'm falling for someone

This is going to be a longer post so thank you in advance if you read it all of it
I'm asexual (sex indifferent heteroromantic). My libido is 0 unless touch-triggered. When it's triggered by touch, I do get aroused and I'm completely fine with sex. But to be honest, my perfect relationship wouldn't include sex. It wouldn't even include making out. Maybe rarely, but mostly not.
Now, I'm falling for someone who lives in another city, 3 and a half hours away from mine. We've been texting every day, every time we are free from obligations regarding work or university (we both go to uni but also work part-time). I would actually be really happy if this would turn into a relationship as we would be long distance. Talking for hours and watching movies together on Discord fulfills me almost completely. I am otherwise an affectionate person who loves hugs, cuddles, falling asleep next to a partner and similar, which I also need in a relationship. But a long distance relationship that would include seeing each other every other week or similar sounds perfect.
He said he wants to come to my city and he would stay over (I was the one who suggested staying over). We have planned dates we would go to and stuff we would do and all of it sounds 100% perfect. Although I am anxious that he could expect us to get physical since he will be staying over... He hasn't made a single inappropriate or even remotely sexual comment so far which is why I like him more and more each day. Even when he suggested we watch a tv show neither of us have watched but have on our list, he didn't sound like it would be "Netflix and chill" (referring to sex) and I was very happy since I hadn't had such experience before. Usually men would make at least one sexual joke during the talking stage.
Even though I'm very excited that he wants to come visit me, before he does I will ask him if he has any expectations of getting physical as in having sex. I am very scared that he will expect it since I can imagine his thoughts being "if I drive for 3 and a half hours to visit her and then 3 and a half hours back without having sex, that would be unfair".
I have borderline personality disorder because of which I've had a very toxic and self-destructive relationship with sex for years and I just wish that this time I have maybe found someone who wouldn't rush sex and therefore would help me form a healthier relationship with it. Because I would be fine with it happening since I'm indifferent to it, but I would be over the moon if we could spend at least our first weekend together not engaging in sex.
If you've read it all, thank you so much and please have your fingers crossed for me that he won't expect sex!

2023.06.05 12:12 frankandbeanerz Dougs Vocals Live

Ive seen BTS a few times in smaller venues and have usually been right on the stage in front of Doug. Dougs voice has been very hard to hear at every show I've been too. Just saw them in Bristol at the Fleece, super small venue and it was probably the best it's been for vocal volume, but still drowned out a bit.
Is there a better place to be to hear him? I love Dougs voice.
I'm seeing them in Leeds and then again in Glagow, so if anyone has recommendations on the clubs in those cities that would be great.

2023.06.05 12:11 MasThomp007 Why do I Feel Like phpIPAM isn't THAT Versatile?

No offense here. I know phpIPAM is a great piece of tool, open-source, actively maintained. But I fiddled with it today, and I just kinda feel like... it's not THAT versatile.
Like why can I only add locations, instead of using a hierarchical location system (Country > State > City). The same lack of hierarchy system is also seen in the customer / contact system. IP ranges are strictly ruled by CIDR numbers (so it won't accept 10.1.1.1-10.2.2.2 kinda thing).
The device part isn't that dynamic. I had to reselect which subnets a device shows in, every time I create a new subnet. And you can't search the device IP until you add that IP address into a subnet.
The whole thing is running tho, quite smooth. I'm just kinda confused by the problems above. Am I missing something in the docs or it's just industry standard? I know NetBox has a more complicated management system, but unfortunately it doesn't support localisation. And most of my colleagues don't know any English.
So I'm kinda in a dilemma right now: do some changes to phpIPAM's code or force my colleagues to learn English?

2023.06.05 12:07 CharlotteEvelyn Itinerary for The Perfect Sydney Day

Itinerary for The Perfect Sydney Day
https://preview.redd.it/18ds998ob64b1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a31f8778abe167b9797afb653de75169f13ea46f
If you are in Sydney and have only a day to explore the city, I have curated an itinerary for you. In this blog, I will attempt to plan a perfect Sydney day for you. It will be such that it includes all the prime Sydney experiences: From a perfect Sydney beach morning to a stunning dinner on one of the finest Sydney harbour dinner cruises, let me give you a big, yummy Sydney treat.
Begin Your Day At The Beach
This coastal city has some of the best beaches in the world. Period. A Sydney experience is incomplete without a visit to one of the serene seasides. Visit Bondi or Paradise Beach and take a rejuvenating dip. Frolic in the water as the morning sun stretches in the sky. Get a nice tan from sunbathing on the golden sand as you enjoy a captivating novel. Afterwards, you can grab breakfast from a cafe nearby. Sydney’s coffee scene is ‘ah!-mazing’, so do try some!
Explore The Rocks
This is an experience you should not miss! The Rocks hold stories from the time the idea of ‘Sydney’ was conceived. If you are interested in knowing about the History of the city, go on a guided tour. The cobbled stone streets of The Rocks are perfect for very ‘instagrammable’ photos. There is also ‘The Rocks Market’ for the passionate shoppers. Hit the place for some interesting shopping – from clothes to handicrafts, this place is a hotpot full of lovely stuff waiting to be picked up. There are live shows and some great food stalls to add to the vibrant atmosphere. Relish an amazing lunch from one of the many options available.
Visit The Iconic Attractions
I am giving you two entirely different yet equally exciting options! Choose according to your preference.
  • First option is for all the art enthusiasts–The Sydney Opera House. Be ready to be in awe of this architectural marvel. With the pearly white sails, the Sydney Opera House is arguably one of the best designed buildings in the world. If you are an art or architecture admiral, do visit this iconic tourist attraction.
  • If what you desire is a nice kick of adrenaline, head to another major landmark of the city–the Sydney Harbour Bridge. For an unforgettable experience try the BridgeWalk. Climb across the bridge and enjoy the bird’s-eye view of Sydney. This exhilarating experience will be a great chance to enjoy a totally different perspective of the city. Hear! Hear! All adventurers!
The Sydney Harbour
Spend the evening on the harbour. Take your time and explore the array of food joints and bars there. As the evening unfolds, the city lights begin to pop up, and the sky turns dark, get ready for a boat that offers dinner in Sydney. There is no better place to enjoy the stunning Sydney nights. Sip on your drink, as you delight in the onboard entertainment.
Appreciate the great dinner as the city lights blink at you. Their reflection on the water is truly a sight to behold! You can spot the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and other attractions from your seat. This is surely the ultimate Sydney experience.
To wrap up your day on a sweet note, find an ice-cream parlour nearby, and get yourself a fat scoop of choco-chip. Indulge in the soft salty breeze and be in awe of Sydney!
What I have jotted down in this blog is a rough idea of how one should explore Sydney in a day. You do not have to follow this itinerary to the ‘T’. I honestly believe that we should seek cities to open up for us. Let the city unfurl in front of you. Explore the place you want to go to but make sure that you time them and schedule them well. Make use of the one-of-a-kind charm this harbour city boasts of.
