2023.06.07 11:37 Huatuomafeisan Foreign doctors- how welcome do you feel?
**Triggered by recent posts moaning about our effect on competition for training posts **
While I got my primary medical qualification in the UK, I am technically an OMG due to my citizenship. Let me share my experience and take on the current situation.
I remember the vitriolic anti-immigrant rhetoric of the Tories when I was in medical school. It made me fear for my career. It made me feel unwelcome in a country where, in effect, my university fees were subsidising the education of my colleagues. While I came to this country as an open minded 18 year old, hoping to integrate within British society, I was put off by the constant slagging off of immigrants that permeated the media, the racist attitudes of the patients whom I encountered during my attachments and my sanctimonious clinical peers who kept on implying that I would have to 'go back' after my degree or, at best, stay on doing a 'Cinderella' specialty.
Now, 10 years down the line, as a neurosurgical trainee, I realise that the wall in my mind that prevents me from ever adopting the country as my own will probably never come down. Xenophobic attitudes such as those displayed by some of the posts in this forum have kept adding to this wall, brick by brick, over the course of my years here.
With the current difficulties facing the NHS, we OMGs pose a soft target for the masses, just as we did a decade ago in the aftermath of the 2008-9 recession when the UK was going through economic doldrums. At a time when our opinions and actions should be mobilised and focused against a government determined to devalue our profession and administrators and managers with 2 GCSEs a piece who infantilise us with impunity, you have posts calling for an official petition to make it harder for OMGs to live, work and progress professionally in the UK.
It is about time that the 'indigenous' Brits come to realise how reliant most institutions in this country (including the NHS) is on young, motivated foreign people who give up the labour of the best years of their life, hoping only for a degree of fairness and a decent quality of life in return. Once this illusion breaks, I hope that the last person leaving these shores turns the lights off.

| What are the things that you need to know about forklift heavy construction equipment? When you think of construction equipment, a forklift might not be the first thing that comes to mind. They are, however, powerful lifting and moving machines that may aid transfer things both inside and out, similar to a scissor lift or telehandler. What Is a Forklift and How Does It Work? Lift truck, jitney, forklift truck, and fork truck are all terms used to describe a forklift. A forklift is basically an industrial vehicle that lifts things with a two-pronged forked front attachment. That material is frequently shown on a wooden platform or pallet. Products and commodities on a pallet or other platform are frequently moved with forks. A forklift has the ability to lift and lower materials. The forklift, unlike other machines that can be connected with a forked attachment – such as a telehandler – is useful for undertakings that require a lot of material movement. What Is the Purpose of a Forklift? There are several distinct types of forklifts, each with its unique set of features and benefits. A forklift is used to lift, move, and carry objects in general. https://preview.redd.it/161nvxj5ek4b1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=f82d79908bcef45331e570f5bdbd42e757d1e568 Industrial forklifts are used to transport materials across building sites and over long distances. Bricks and wood, as well as tile and other interior construction materials, are frequently supplied on pallets on construction sites. When packaged together, they are simple to send. A forklift can help carry them to where they’re needed once they’re delivered on-site. Because heavy-duty machinery like telehandlers and even front loaders can be equipped with fork attachments, genuine forklifts are rarely seen on construction sites. The telehandler, in example, is an excellent material mover since it can lift both up and out, making it simple to carry materials to various levels of a project. When you hear the word “forklift,” one of the first pictures that may spring to mind is: Forklifts are useful in warehouses because they allow bulk products to be stored while still being packaged for shipping. As a result, the forklift has twice the importance in the construction business. They are used to transport and load items in preparation for transport to a construction site. Even though they aren’t visible on physical locations, they are nonetheless incredibly important to the industry’s efficiency and production. The forklift, which dates from 1887, is almost as old as the Statue of Liberty. A lift truck was the name given to the initial prototype of the forklift. But it wasn’t the forklift that came first; it was the pallet. Pallets, also known as skids, are associated with the industrialisation of the United States and were used to stack and transport commodities and resources. To keep up with the demands of the industrial period, the first forklift was invented to move these pallets. The initial lift truck could barely lift a pallet a few inches off the ground. It was a clunky precursor to today’s mighty technology. With the passage of time, the forklift grew in popularity and power. The Pennsylvania Railroad built a platform truck to help transport luggage on and off of their trains in the first decade of the twentieth century. When the First World War broke out in 1914, the forklift’s popularity and demand skyrocketed. https://preview.redd.it/68jjmsg7ek4b1.png?width=980&format=png&auto=webp&s=8474a396616715e877b53dba0fd837c29d9a8468 During World War I, the forklift was used extensively. With a large portion of the labor force serving in Europe during the war, interest in the forklift grew. It was a godsend to have a powerful machine that could help transport enormous amounts of material at once. Many items, including as weapons, clothing, and food, were packaged for shipment and had to be put onto trucks and trains at the time. Because the majority of the workforce was based overseas, warehouses lacked the same degree of staff. Forklifts started to appear in factories and warehouses. The Towmotor Company and the Yale and Towne Manufacturing Company both joined the fork truck industry in the United States in 1920. Towmotor Company is a company that specializes in towing vehicles Lester M Sears launched Towmotor in 1919 after inventing a gas-powered tractor with forklift capability. They invented the first industrial forklift in 1933 and continued to produce various forklift models weighing 1,500 to 15,000 pounds. Caterpillar Tractor Company purchased Towmotor on November 10, 1965. Yale & Towne Manufacturing is a company that manufactures a variety of products. Linus Yale Jr. and Henry Towne founded Yale & Towne in Stamford, Connecticut, in the late 1800s. The company started with making locks. In 1920, this company developed its first forklift, and its name was changed to Yale and Towne Manufacturing. The forklift was a battery-powered low-lift platform truck at the time. Soon after, the business began developing light-lift platforms. Yale & Towne was the first company to develop a tilting forklift truck. Yale Materials Handling Corporation now manufactures a wide range of electric and engine-powered material handling equipment. Continued The Forklift’s Evolution The advent of the hydraulic-powered lift system was a game-changer for forklifts. The machines could lift more and higher with this technical improvement. As the world got more industrialized, a standard pallet size became more widespread. The development and application of forklifts became significantly easier because to this one-size-fits-all standard. The Second World War, like WWI, encouraged the use of forklifts and pushed for more effective material storage systems in warehouses. Some argue that the standard we presently use for storing commodities, including the usage of forklifts in practically every warehouse and storage facility throughout the world, was created during WWII. The majority of the machine’s modifications since then have focused on improving comfort, increasing lifting capacity, and lowering emissions. Fuel cell technologies, ergonomic cab designs, and even electric power are all common features of today’s forklifts. Forklifts come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Counterbalance forklifts, side loaders, industrial, and warehouse forklifts are among the various types of forklifts available. Cushion and pneumatic tires, as well as tough terrain forklifts, are available. - Models and Makes That Are Popular
- Forklifts are available in a variety of makes and models.
- Hyster
Hyster began as a forestry equipment manufacturer in the Pacific Northwest in 1929, during the Great Depression. A hoist was utilized on one of the company’s vehicles to assist loggers in lifting and moving equipment. They ran with the idea of only having one staff to handle a large amount of stuff. During WWII, Hyster equipment was employed by both the American and British forces to aid move materials and goods, cementing the company’s reputation. Since then, the brand has expanded throughout the world and has become synonymous with forklifts. Yale began as a lock company in the late 1800s, as previously stated. Their first forklift was produced in 1920, and they have been focused on this market ever since. The company presently produces a wide range of forklifts, ranging in weight from 3,500 pounds to 35,000 pounds. Their forklifts are designed for a variety of applications, including building projects, farm operations, and port and warehouse requirements. JCB was founded in 1945 by Joseph Cyril Bamford, who has been credited with inventing the telehandler since 1977. With over 2,000 dealer locations in over 150 countries, JCB is now one of the world’s leading equipment manufacturers. The teletruk industrial forklift and the rough terrain forklift are the two primary types of forklifts that JCB concentrates on. Their teletruk is a cross between a telehandler, a skid steer, and a forklift. It mimics the cab of a skid steer or normal forklift while allowing the telehandler’s distinctive outward reach. The wheels also resemble those of a standard warehouse forklift. This inventive design exemplifies how versatile construction machines and equipment can be. JCB has even introduced a new electric teletruck variant! The Forklift’s Multi-Functionality While most people associate forklifts with warehouses, they actually have a lot of ties to the construction industry. The construction industry largely relies on these devices, whether it’s loading supplies to be sent to a construction site or stacking timber, bricks, or other materials. A building site would not be nearly as efficient if it could not get massive orders of materials and have everything they need to really develop projects. Whether it was because to the pallet or as a result of World War I, our industrial and commercial world would not exist today without the forklift. submitted by webuyequipment to equipmentbuyandsell [link] [comments] |
2023.06.07 11:25 Definition_Novel Some facts about Lithuanians who fought for the USSR.
| Lithuania had the most Soviet partisans out of all 3 Baltic states, with an estimated 7- 10,000 operating in Lithuania during the Nazi occupation. (From Wikipedia.) About 5,000 people, many being Lithuanian citizens, gave their lives defending Lithuania during the early moments of the German invasion (from Wikipedia.) Most of the following info is from an interview with Lithuanian Soviet veteran Julius Deksnys from the Russian language newspaper Obzhor, translated. -The 16th Lithuanian Rifle Division is often considered the most diverse division of the USSR. In it, ethnic Lithuanians, Lithuanian Jews, Russians, Poles, and other ethnicities in Lithuania were represented. There was also the 29th Lithuanian Rifle Corps, which unlike the 16th Division, the 29th was filled with deserters who fled to the enemy. However, most of the soldiers of the 29th Corps who chose to stay with the USSR who didn’t desert were eventually sent to the much larger 16th Division. Among those who stayed with Soviet forces was heroic Lithuanian Soviet lieutenant general Vincas Vitkauskas, the only Lithuanian to receive such rank. The 16th Rifle Division did not generally have a desertion problem, and most of its members were committed to defeating both the German and Baltic fascist enemies. (From Wikipedia.) -in Vilnius in 1944 sometime before liberation, 1,417 soldiers were recruited to the Red Army. Of the Lithuanian citizens recruited to the Red Army from the city that year, 898 were from the Polish minority of Lithuania, some of whom served in the Polish Armed Forces of the USSR. 5,000 Lithuanians participated in the East Prussian offensive. 8,000 Lithuanians participated in the Soviet liberation of Berlin. The 16th Lithuanian Rifle Division is well known for its defending of the Russian city of Oryol, where a memorial exists, as well as its amazing feats in the Battle of Kursk, the Klaipeda and Siauliai offensives, and the battles against Latvian SS in the Courland Pocket in neighboring Latvia. Of the 16th Lithuanian Division, 9, 255 soldiers of all ethnicities died in battle. When measured strictly for ethnic Lithuanian casualties, the number is 5,040. In all units of the Red Army total, 40,000 Lithuanians went missing, never to return home. 80,000 were confirmed dead. 253 memorial monuments were built to the veterans of Lithuania throughout Lithuania, many of which unfortunately are decreasing in number due to the right wing government as well as ultranationalist sentiments of much of the ethnic Lithuanian population, whom have replaced many Soviet veterans monuments with ones to fascist collaborators. Regardless of troubling circumstances in present day Lithuania, some Soviet veterans, among them ethnic Lithuanian veteran Julius Deksnys, who leads a support group for Soviet veterans. Not mentioned in the following article, Deksnys has been fighting fascism since the very beginning of the war in the Baltic states. He willingly enlisted in the Red Army to avenge the death of his father after his father was killed by Lithuanian nationalists for being a communist. Towards the end of the war, when Deksnys was captured on the battlefield, nationalist Nazi collaborators took Deksnys prisoner and he was sent to a Nazi labor camp, where he survived to Soviet liberation. He had much to say about the mistreatment of Soviet veterans in modern Lithuania in an interview a few years ago, which I will post much of his lengthy statement below, where I have fixed certain translations typing errors: “After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the restoration of the statehood of the Republic of Lithuania, veterans of the Great Patriotic War had to solve the problems that arose with the change in the socio-economic, political and ideological system of the country. The most offensive for veterans was the statements of politicians, then enshrined in law, that Lithuania did not participate in World War II, and on May 9, 1945, the day of the Great Victory over fascism, seemed to be the day of the second occupation of our country. Attempts by some Lithuanian politicians and historians to rewrite the history of World War II, distort it, to show the period of fascist occupation of 1941-1944 as a noble mission of Nazi Germany to liberate Lithuania from Bolshevism, to justify the crimes of accomplices of the occupiers against humanity are a monstrous lie. In fact, during the Second World War, the issue of the life and death of the entire Lithuanian people was resolved in the most brutal way. After all, according to the plans of the Nazi leaders, Lithuania should have disappeared in the future like a drop of water on a hot stone. We are urged not to forget the lessons of the war to remember the huge human losses during the years of fascist occupation, including the victims of the Holocaust, the soldiers of the Red Army and Soviet partisans who died for the liberation of Lithuania. The Soviet-era veteran organization and its Republican Committee of Veterans ceased to exist in 1990. Many participants of the Great Patriotic War, citizens of a once great and powerful country, faced the need to decide on citizenship in the newly created independent states of the former Soviet Union. This is how citizens of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and other countries appeared in Lithuania. But they were all united by one thing - the fighting past, the fighting brotherhood and the memory of the Victory over fascism. the combat history of the Lithuanian national unit, the combat service of the intelligence officer of the 18th separate reconnaissance company Paulius Širvys, later an outstanding poet of Lithuania, who was often compared to Sergei Yesenin, is especially noted. But few people know what a brave intelligence officer he was. P. Širvys distinguished himself in many battles and was awarded the Order of Glory of the 3rd degree and two medals "For Courage". His romantic poems and poems dedicated to the soldier are read and recited by both young and old. Composers compose music based on his words, organize concerts. When communicating with young people, you are convinced that many young people did not know that their favorite poet during the war was a combat scout, my combat friend. My platoon commander of the same reconnaissance company, Hero of the Soviet Union Boleslovas Gegzhnas and many other soldiers and officers of the division, deserve good memory. People died in those hard battles. During the entire existence of the division, 9,255 fighters have died, including 5,040 Lithuanian soldiers. But how do young generations know about it? In the programs for studying the history of secondary schools, only the fact that such a division was during the war is mentioned, but nothing is said about its heroic combat path, combat exploits. Almost 40,000 Lithuanian residents mobilized to the Red Army did not return from the war. The memory of them is sacred. It will not be possible to emasculate from public consciousness, forget the heroic and decisive role of the Red Army in defeating fascism, denigrate the feat of Soviet soldiers, forget about the victims of the Holocaust, about 80,000 soldiers who gave their lives for the liberation of our Motherland. From 1946 to 1948, military memorials were created in cities and districts, in settlements where major battles took place, where the remains of Soviet soldiers were transferred from solitary graves and mass graves. In total, there are currently 253 military memorials and graves in Lithuania, many have monuments, there are memorial plates with the names of the fallen soldiers. Since 2000, with the support of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Lithuania, repair and restoration work has been carried out on military graves. But recently, extremely negative trends in the fight against monuments of the Soviet past have been increasingly manifested in Lithuania. Monuments of special artistic and historical value created by Lithuanian classic sculptors are being demolished. I mean sculptural compositions on the Green Bridge in Vilnius, as well as monuments to Marita Melnikaite in Zarasai and twice Hero pilot Yakov Smushkevich in Rokiskis. The most important attributes of the life of veterans, the object of their well-deserved pride are combat awards for feats on the battlefields. Orders and medals have Soviet symbols: red star, sickle and hammer, the image of Supreme Commander-in-Chief I. Stalin. For this reason, wearing them in everyday life is prohibited at the legislative level. This is not only a moral insult to veterans, but also a direct violation of human rights. Such laws have contributed to the activation of ultranationalist sentiments and neo-Nazi manifestations. Cases of vandalism actually encouraged by the authorities at the graves of Soviet soldiers, the demolition of Soviet symbols from monuments have become more frequent, even though they are included in the register of cultural heritage. What will remain of this kind of intervention? Naked memorial steles and plates... The most interesting thing is that the main argument for such actions is the statement that Soviet symbols offend the feelings of a large social group of people affected by Soviet power. But it is permissible to ask: are veterans who did not spare their lives, health in the fight against the Nazis deprived of feelings and the right to memory of their dead comrades? At the origins of our veteran organization were front-line soldiers Juozas Adamonis, Algimantas Stankevičius, Petras Eidukas. With Algimantas Stankevicius, I happened to serve in the first platoon of the first company of the first battalion of the 156th Rifle Regiment of the 16th Lithuanian Rifle Division. On January 27, 1945, we walked together in a chain of attacking warriors, freeing Klaipeda from the Nazi invaders. Stapas Shimonis, becoming chairman of the organization in 1993, did a lot to unite its members, her admission to the World Federation of War Veterans. At the General Assembly of the Federation in Seoul, he was elected a member of the executive committee. After him, since 1999, the organization was headed by Petras Eidukas, who was awarded the title of Honorary Chairman in 2015. Unfortunately, he passed away this year. Despite his 92 years, Nikolai Mikhailovich Riskov, chairman of the veteran organization of the Shalchinink district, works actively. On his initiative, a museum of participants of the Great Patriotic War was opened in the district center of Šalcininkai. This is the first museum of its kind in Lithuania, which was opened on July 16, 2014, to the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Šalcininkai and Vilnius. The museum contains a collection of photos of front-line soldiers and Soviet partisans who participated in the liberation of the district or lived after the war, as well as various copies of documents of the war years, military memoirs, books about the war. Relatives bring combat awards, various documents of deceased veterans to the museum. Schoolchildren come to the museum, solemn events dedicated to Victory Day, the Day of Liberation of the district are held here. During the celebrations dedicated to the 65th anniversary of Victory Day, N. Riskov decided to post photos of deceased veterans, residents of the Shalchinink district, at the city grave of Soviet soldiers, next to the graves of the deceased liberators of the district. This action attracted residents and was continued. People began to bring photos of deceased relatives. This is how the idea of the "Immortal Regiment" was born in Lithuania. Today it is bitter to admit that Lithuania has enough of those who are trying to forget the lessons of the Nuremberg Tribunal, which condemned not only fascism in all its manifestations, but also Nazi accomplices. The names of the latter are now called streets and squares, they are honored as national heroes. And war veterans, the winners of fascism, have become outcasts of society, the authorities do not pay any attention to them, even in the days of the celebration of the end of the war in Europe, there is not a single kind word for them, let alone gratitude. Nationalist youth call our awards trifs, we are forbidden to wear our combat awards only on the grounds that the orders and medals depict Soviet symbols.” -Julius Deksnys, from an interview with Obzhor newspaper issue # 1041, Dec. 24,2016. Much thanks to the Russian-Lithuanian language publication Obzhor.lt, whom conducted the interview with Julius Deksnys that I had to translate with a webpage translator as I cannot read Russian. Most importantly, thank you to Julius Deksnys for protecting the Soviet veteran memory, as he is one of my personal heroes whom inspired me to archive photos of Baltic Soviet veterans. submitted by Definition_Novel to sendinthetanks [link] [comments] |

2023.06.07 11:22 RobJHayes Self Published Fantasy Releases – June 2023
| https://preview.redd.it/y71r0t8gdk4b1.jpg?width=2069&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28b6c1617e39d6e9d534b7ae5a49457ee7814c23 You can find the original blog post, complete with all the shiny covers, here. If you would like to be kept up to date with the upcoming lists, please subscribe to my newsletter by clicking this link. I don’t send out letters too often, pretty much once a month when this list goes out… and occasionally if I release a book or something. As always, this is not a comprehensive list, but only includes all the books I have heard about so far. If you have a fantasy novel you are self publishing in June or beyond, let me know by filling out THIS FORM, and I shall add it to the page.

She wins an ally in Marcus Diophantus, a pickpocket turned soldier turned general, who hopes to turn into something more than just her champion. Together, they broker peace between Florence and its enemy. If Marcus is going to help Claire, he’ll have to survive. Peace has upset the balance of power in the capital city. The king stands increasingly alone against: the Constantines, a commercial enterprise as much as a clan, who aim to profit from peace as they have from war – the warrior nobles, descended from the founders of Florence and quick to turn against a weak throne – and Reburrus, the high priest of Florence, convinced Claire answers to hostile foreign gods. As the city comes to a boil, Claire and Marcus – and Marcus’s formidable army – will have to decide where their allegiance lies. Claire becomes a reluctant participant in a savage campaign.

Torn with what to do next, Roisin chooses to make the fateful trip across the Skybinder border into enemy territory in the hopes of gaining new allies for the fight against the Soulmongers. At her side is her fox companion, Vulpo; the last of the Bloodsingers, Mei; and a Skybinder of questionable allegiance named Giack. However, Roisin’s actions draw the attention of the Skybinder nobility, entrapping her into political machinations with deadly outcomes. Piritta, newly reborn Soulmonger, is tasked with the search for the final member of the Soulmonger Triumvirate to lead the army to victory. And Kaori, leader of the Soulmongers, is given her own task, granting her more power than she could have ever imagined. The choices these young women must make will tear them apart, fracture them all, leaving cracks for something darker to seep in. And in the end, only the one with the strongest resolve will endure. Goodreads -- 1st June – The Nameless Restaurant by Tao Wong Urban Fantasy, Cozy Fantasy There is a restaurant in Toronto. Its entrance is announced only by a simple, unadorned wooden door, varnished to a beautiful shine but without paint, hidden beside dumpsters and a fire escape. There is no sign, no indication of what lies behind the door. If you do manage to find the restaurant, the décor is dated and worn. Homey, if one were to be generous. The service is atrocious, the proprietor a grouch. The regulars are silent, brooding, and unfriendly to newcomers. There is no set menu, alternating with the whim and whimsy of the owner. The selection of wine and beer is sparse or non-existent at times, and the prices for everything outrageous. There is a restaurant in Toronto that is magically hidden, whose service is horrible, but whose food is divine. This is the story of the Nameless Restaurant. Goodreads -- 4th June – Gold, Lock and Key (Grimdark Fairytales #1) by E.J. Doble Grimdark “All it needs, is a bit of tenacity… and three little bears.” Goldie, an outlaw and contract hunter of the Baron’s State, accepts a new assignment from her employer to find an old cabin in the woods, home to three ‘shapeshifters’ who can morph into bears. Considered to be little more than a myth, Goldie assumes at first that the shapeshifters are an exaggeration – but with the sizeable bounty her employer is offering, she soon realises there may be more truth in it than she realised. And that isn’t the only thing on her mind: she discovers her main rival – a manipulative and incredibly cunning trapper named Southey – has also taken on the contract, and will be contending for the same bounty she so fervently desires. Having waited many long years to have her revenge and outsmart Southey for past mistakes, Goldie sees the new contract as a perfect opportunity to do so. All she has to do is play her cards just right. And kill three bears… Goodreads -- 4th June – Waybound (Cradle #12) by Will Wight Progression/Cultivation, Epic Fantasy Years ago, Lindon left his home as a powerless Unsouled.

Winter still hangs on in the mountains, unlike the beach she left, and it could be another month until the pass to the west opens. Her funds run out and the city guard catches her stealing. Instead of a cell, they take her to the Cathedral of Light, which rivals a fortress. There she learns the truth about the Light while trying to hide who she really is. Her parents, who embrace the Dark, have the power to take over the mountain kingdom and could use her as the excuse to do so. Sergeant Vern can’t shake his desire to drink nor his anger at the Lord of Light for the disease that crippled and killed his sister at a young age. The cathedral lets him work with the class of deviants under his alias, but time is running out. The worse spring thaw of the century arrives and despite the great Cathedral of Light, the Dark has found a deep root in the kingdom. Worse, prophecies of the spiritual war manifesting in the physical come true as a mural changes before their eyes and its images step into their lives. Vern needs to accept the truth that sets him free of the curse cast upon his family so he can step into his true role. A truth that his sister professed about the Light through all her pain unto her last breath when angels took her home. Will their faith in the Light be enough to overcome their trials and save a kingdom? Goodreads -- 6th June – imPerfect Curse (The imPerfect Cathar #2) by C.N. Rowan Urban Fantasy I’m exhausted. Done in. Needing a stiff drink and about a week’s sleep. But that’s not going to happen. Because Franc is dying, struck by a curse placed on him by the Sistren Of Bordeaux, one of the most powerful groups of Talented in France. And because of our deal, it’s on me to find out what the hell is going on, and how Franc has offended the Sistren. Apart from by simply existing, of course.

When Thrash unexpectedly breaks a mirror with her mind, she discovers she has a knack for magic and will receive one of the three sanctioned Gifts: Glamour, Growth, or Sight.

She arrives aiming to establish peaceful contact with the aid of the besotted prince. However, it becomes clear that the heartless demon king does not desire peace at all, only war and conquest.

His prowess with a rifle draws the interest of the Locusts, a clandestine faction within Revance’s ranks. It turns out that not all aboard the fortress seek to stamp out the plague of molten flux, the mysterious liquid metal that fills the bodies of the dead and makes them walk again. Some seek to profit. The reanimated corpses —known as autominds— are used to control enormous contraptions of magnetically enchanted metal, forming the backbone of The Droughtland’s factories. The only thing stopping the smelters from expanding their illicit industry is Revance. The Locusts make Ryza an offer. Either help overthrow Revance to do the smelter’s bidding or reveal his father’s legacy as the very thing Ryza now fights against. The former is unthinkable. The latter means death. Ryza resolves to infiltrate them and expose the mutiny, plunging him back into the murky underworld of the smelters, testing his convictions, and even leading him to the ancient origins of molten flux itself.

Except now Beatrice has gone missing, leaving Jen alone to face the shadowy organization and its 11 members by herself.

Goodreads -- 21st June – Hierachy of the Unseen by B. Pigeon & Fell A. Marsh Epic Fantasy Demons and humans are locked in endless struggle. This is an intrinsic fact of nature. The demons believe their salvation lies in bleeding humanity of the life-force called light, while the humans are equally determined to defend it. Within the sprawling empire of Lu-nevet, the two sides have settled into an uneasy peace, employing less violent tactics. But this peace can only hold for so long. The state religion of Lukeira sends devout demon hunter Mitzli deep into the borderlands to bless the victims of demonic pranks. Once they arrive, however, they find unexpected signs of violence. They team up with irreligious hunter Veleiry to investigate—and the destruction the two uncover is an ominous sign of what’s to come. Meanwhile, shiftless demon Kor falls under the scrutiny of his vampiric commander, Mant—meaning he must actually do the work of tormenting humans, rather than taking credit from his now-ex-partner Yez. Slowly, he begins to realize that the demons’ strategy is shifting, and may be heading down a path he cannot follow. Mitzli and Kor will have to betray their respective factions if they want to put an end to the violence before it escalates. But the two of them, both outcasts among their own kind, are the only ones who know the truth. How can they protect the world if no one will listen? Goodreads -- 27th June – Temper the Dark by L.

When the Darkness tasks Kagan with investigating the Servant girl in the Cells, Kagan takes on a special mission that will require more than his usual interrogation methods of brute strength and intimidation. From vastly different echelons of the same tribal society, Alaris and Kagan are surprised to learn they share one important goal—ensuring the best for the people of their island nation. Alaris discovers what the emperor is looking for — a dragon! But warning a senile dragon against impending danger is no easy task.

2023.06.07 11:21 Mammaddemzak hiding from her parents (ldr)
I'll be fast cause I need to Pardon for poor eng Alright so around 9 months ago I(currently 15 m back then 14 from iran)met this girl from India 15 years old sweetest person I've ever met no way you can find anyone more heart melting more adorable I can't complement more cause I won't stop,I am very serious about her I know we're both unexperienced as it's our first relationship but meh I'm pretty sure I love her to above the skies and I'm looking forward to spending every second of my life with her;yes im aware of what you're gonna tell me about our relationship but please were just asking for a way to hide from her parents
Alright so a week or two I developed a crush she found out a month after she confessed too and bam real huge bam
We've been together happily ever since
Now
One of main problems exept being 2800 and low chances of meeting anytime sooner than maybe around 2 years is her parents
Both of my parents and their spouses(both remarried)know about her so no biggie from my side
But
Her family is real traditional and religious appearantly
Under no circumstances(not even acting gay)can convince her parents to let her talk to a guy let alone have a relationship(she wasn't allowed to have social media till a few months ago)
Yikes indeed
So we're suspicious that her mom kinda knows as she went through her gallery and heard and saw her talking to me on call and other stuff so we're mid of a Lil crisis rn
So what should we do?how do wehide from her parents especially her mom since she's home more than dad and how do we cope?
Of course telling them would be a better option but not right now as well we don't know a way that could have the minimum potential to convince them
I was thinking about waiting a year or something so they'd know I'm serious but she decided telling them when she's moving out of the country(4 years I think or 3,depending on some stuff)so ya
Tl;dr:
Help how to hide from serious gf parents
Thanks

Advice [link] [comments]
2023.06.07 11:21 likeguitarsolo Went to my first AA meeting this morning
I’m coming up on 21 months sober. It’s been a while since I’ve actually craved a drink or felt tempted or in danger of relapsing. At this point, more than anything, I’ve just been in a really angry and lonely stage of sobriety. It’s other people’s problems and other people’s habits that get under my skin. Their ignorance and carelessness. It absolutely doesn’t help that I’m a career bartender and am surrounded almost daily by the kinds of people make me feel angry and alone. But through getting clean, my customers and coworkers have honestly been helpful reminders to me of what i never want to be again. Every day I see what just a few drinks brings out in a person, and I’ve never once seen alcohol at any quantity bring out the best in anybody. So I never fantasize about what “just one drink” could have in store for me. It’s helped me to stay sane behind the bar to not let myself care too much about the people I have to rub elbows with. But I can’t seem to stifle my deep hatred of alcohol when it comes to my friends and family. For months now, I’ve just distanced myself from gatherings that I know will cause me distress. And alcohol is still the main draw for most of my loved ones. None of this is good for the loneliness.
My father-in-law is 33 years sober, and he’s been active in AA for as long. He’s been really supportive and helpful to me through my sobriety. I’ve told him before about how useful this sub has been to me, and his response each time has been “why not just go to a meeting?” I’ve hesitated attending for probably all the same reasons anyone else here would. We had a good talk a few weeks ago, and I told him all about my current state of anger and isolation, and he finally convinced me to join him at a meeting.
When it started, an old-timer asked if anyone needed a one-day chip, and a woman said “I’ll take on of those”. Then she emotionally set the topic for the meeting. For the rest of the hour, everyone contributed with their relatable experiences and offered insight and advice. It really felt nice to be surrounded by likeminded people. Although I didn’t speak, it was very assuring to know I could actually be honest about my own situation among complete strangers. The whole thing felt exactly like reading and relating to a post on here and scrolling through comments which read as though I’d written them myself.
I accept my powerlessness over alcohol, but I don’t believe I need to climb any of the steps to regain power over everything else in my life. I want to say that I don’t really need any support group at all, but I was on this sub for years while I still drank. I was on here constantly the first few months when I quit. And I’m on here every day now for the same reasons that old-timers still go to meetings 30+ years clean. I can’t imagine where I’d be without the support this sub has provided. I do plan on attending some more meetings, if only to feel that sense of community and likemindedness. I’ve stopped getting my hopes up when friends say they’re “taking a sober month”, because I know they’ll spend the whole month salivating over that first drink when it ends. So it’d be nice to make a sober friend or two. This sub will never cure loneliness, but it’ll help you feel less alone at times when you really need it.
I appreciate each and every one of you, and I only want what’s best for all.

2023.06.07 11:07 Federal_Rub2386 Is Nu Skin (and involving yourself in MLM businesses) worth it?
First time posting on Reddit, so please bare with me. Long post ahead.
So may nag reach out sakin sa LinkedIn about a dropshipping subscription business a few months back. I am currently helping out sa family business ko and hindi ako open sa idea of it. Since yung relative ko na CPA may shit ton of corporate experience, I asked them for advice since wala akong proper mapagtanungan at that time. My relative said hindi sya super familiar with it pero if it's for "extra income", wala naman daw siguro mawawala. My mistake was just going for it blindly without proper research.
So, pumayag ako. I thought yung drop shipping business na yun was just for a small businesses and in the first online meet up namin ng coach ko, nagshare lang sya ng reflection (that lasted like an hour or something) about how he dreams of financial freedom kuno. Sabi ko, sige, I can try with the agreed term namin na "wala namang mawawala diba?". Keyword: TRY. I mean, I have knowledge naman on e-commerce marketing and since side hustle lang naman to, I thought this should be no biggie. Literally moments after, he asked if he can take a picture of our meeting and when I agreed, he took the photo and posted it on the official Facebook page ng kanilang community officially announcing how I'm officially part of their org now. He never asked me if it was okay to put my face there on Facebook; he just asked me if it was okay if he were to take a photo. Inisip ko na lang, "maybe normal ito" since he technically did ask for a photo of me, though I felt like I was gaslighting myself. At that point, I still didn't know anything about our supposed corporate partner.
Dumating ang next week and ininvite ako ni coach for an online business briefing. I was expecting the participants to be filled with other curious brand affiliates like myself. Lo and behold, ang dami ko nakitang mga old people, with seemingly big names and as if matagal na sila dito. The lot of them introduced themselves as brand directors, brand partners, and brand representatives. I felt like I was the odd one out na walang kaalam alam sa mga nangyayari. It was later revealed na yung corporate partner namin is Nu Skin. Nung narinig ko yun naisip ko shit, ni never ko ngang narinig tong brand na to despite how many times nilang diniin sakin na well established si Nu Skin and napaka taas ng success rates ng mga distributors dito. They assured that as a brand rep, I can earn something like 5k to 50k a month or something with "very little things to do".
Dumating ulit the following week, coach had to sit me through another meeting. This time, mga dapat kong gawin as a brand affiliate: share the products and may makukuha akong 5% sharing bonus and also magrecruit ng other distributors para may makuha rin akong % of profit from them. So, hindi man lang discrete si coach over the fact na he just profited off my involvement here. Also, dun na nag simula how gaano sya ka insistent na dapat bumili ako ng isa sa mga products para magkaron ako ng passion for them. I was taken aback, akala ko ba nag agree ako dito under the mindset na "walang mawawala sakin"? Yung product na highly nilang nirerecommend sakin was quite pricey, too. Hell, yung products nila, if anything ang pricey. No wonder they have, like, free shipping days per week. Ang daming established beauty brands out there, who would wanna buy from this kung ganito sya ka expensive?
Another week came, this time Millionaire's Online Conference daw or something. They had me sit through a meeting of mga successful brand directors and partners of Nu Skin. The entire online presentation was just them showing off how they've all been through so many countries (some of them with wild claims at how they've traveled nearly the entire world) with 100% full funding of Nu Skin. I thought, "if ganito kataas supposedly ang success rate ng brand distributors, then how come hindi gasinong kakilala pa rin ang Nu Skin sa market?". When it was the time for the pinaka head na director na magsalita, my mind was blank and uninterested until may sinabi sya na "You have to be completely braindead if you fail to see the benefits of this business". I kinda felt attacked. I was asking myself why they're all so hellbent at convincing me to take part in this. After the conference, I was sent to a breakout room with my coach wherein they had me share a reflection and I pretended to be interested but if anyything, I felt overwhelmed. Once again, he just insisted na I buy some Nu Skin's products so I can have more passion for them. I still didn't give in.
Ilang weeks ang lumipas, same old, same old. At this rate, nagsearch na ko everything about Nu Skin and I've yet to find anything genuinely positive since MLM business nga to, prone to the possibility of a pyramid scheme. Nabasa ko risky raw dito kasi usually sa MLM businesses mas focused ang distributors with recruiting other distributors rather than getting their products sold, which likely never happens. I even found Nu Skin PH's official YT page and the videos have their comments turned off. I'm not sure if I was just looking at the wrong places. At this point, dun na ko nagstart mag slowly dissociate. Tatlong meetings na ang nakalipas na inabsentan ko. A lot has been happening personally that I'd rather focus on. Recently, they had me attend this brand affiliate training and once again, the same things: use the product, share them. They want all of us to share our own success stories and I have none kasi nga skeptical ako so I just left the meeting early since I was out of town at the time with very poor internet connection. Right now, they're urging me to attend next week's meeting on how to "create your own transformation story". Basically, parang ang daming gagawin and I'm not even certain if the benefits outweigh the risks.
Needless to say, skeptical ako. I'm not sure if talagang "braindead" nga lang ako for failing to see the benefits in this but what do you think? I'm technically still just starting, so I'm not sure if masyadong judgey lang ako over this. Maybe I'm just failing to see the silver linings? I have little to no idea how this ACTUALLY works and I can't trust these people within this organization kasi parang they suffer from toxic positivity. Their meetings consist of 90% "This is great!" while 10% ano ba talaga dapat mong gawin. That's why I took to Reddit, is it safe for me to stay or is this a scam and I should run? And even if nagbackout ako dito, how can I tell them without the risk of them possibly chasing after me? Do I just slowly ghost them or what? I know it's stupid of me that I got myself involved in this. If anything, I'm embarassed nga to be posting this here. But, what should I do?

2023.06.07 11:06 yabspro Retaining Family Visa While Canceling Sponsor's Visa
Please note that obtaining special approval from a senior immigration officer is necessary to hold a family visa while canceling the sponsor's visa.
Switching to an InvestoPartner Visa: - Type the application, obtain the sponsor's seal and signature, attach all required documents, and submit the application to the immigration office.
- Pay Dh220 for file opening and Dh680 for issuing the visa within the country.
- Cancel your existing labor card and visit the Immigration head office in Jafliya with the labor card cancellation receipt and the original passports of your family members.
- Pay Dh5020 as a refundable deposit to retain the dependents' visa, along with Dh120 as a service charge for each dependent's passport. The existing visa will then be canceled.
- Type the status change form (typing charge extra), obtain the seal and signature of the new company, and submit it to the Immigration office. You will receive a paper indicating the status change.
- Undergo a medical examination, type the Emirates ID and visa stamping application, and submit it through an AMER Centre.
- Once your visa is stamped, you can refund the deposit amount.
- Your dependents can continue with their current visa and renew it upon its expiration.
Refund Procedures: - Take the original deposit receipt and your passport to the Refund Counter at the Immigration Head Office in Jafiliya.
- Obtain a no objection for refund seal from the counter and proceed to Dubai Commercial Bank (located next to the Immigration building) to collect the cash. The bank will charge a Dh40 commission.
Lost Deposit Receipt: - If your deposit receipt is lost, obtain a lieu of lost receipt from Dubai Commercial Bank in Jafiliya. You can present a receipt copy or your original passport for reference.
- Take this receipt to the Immigration refund counter and pay Dh70 as a lost fee. An Immigration officer will stamp a NO OBJECTION FOR REFUND on the receipt.
- Visit the CBD counter to collect the cash, with the bank charging a Dh40 commission.
Regarding Refunds for InvestoPartner Visas: - Yes, you can refund your old deposit by following the above steps. If you have family members under your sponsorship, you should deposit Dh3020 for each of them before refunding your own visa deposit.
- However, if there is an overstay or other violations in your company file, you will not be eligible for a refund.
Investor Visa for Bangladeshi Nationals: - Bangladeshi nationals face certain restrictions for obtaining an investor visa. They are required to provide the last six months' personal bank account statement, and the applicant's previous visa profession also plays a role in the process.

2023.06.07 11:05 ricric2 Laid off as mid-level dev, decided to pursue my own side project: Avocabo.io, a spaced-repetition system for learning languages
Hey, all! As the title says, I'm a mid-level frontend dev (React/TypeScript/Next.js) and was recently laid off from an Italian company in the property tech space. It's been absolute crap trying to find a new job here in Spain, and I'm finding it difficult to even grab an interview except for a few consultancies. Figured companies really don't value developers these days with the massive layoffs happening so wanted to pursue my own little project, if for nothing else than to have something to put into my portfolio.
I'm a language nerd, being from the USA but having lived in multiple countries. After trying to learn Dutch through rote memorization and realizing there must be a better way, then reading 'Fluent Forever', I'm hooked on spaced-repetition systems!
Avocabo.io is a spaced-repetition system used for creating flashcards, built with React, TypeScript, Next.js, Firebase, i18n with Next-Translate. It's pretty early in development so if you'd like to sign up for an account (free) to provide any feedback, I would be grateful (you can use any email address).
Features:
- Supports multiple user interface languages and learning languages: Catalan, German, Spanish, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Ukrainian. Can change interface language at any time.
- Upload and store images (Firebase storage) for flashcards.
- Add full sentences for word context, and choose which words to black out for the front-facing card (blacked-out words revealed on click).
- Choose difficulty of word recall (easy, medium, difficult, forgot) which corresponds to a certain time frame before the card reappears, and it increases that time with successive recall selections.
- Track number of entries in your profile plus delete account at any time if you like.
- Edit words, categories, sentence examples, delete words, etc.
Future improvements:
- Design is a total dud, I know; I've always worked with designers in my work and I consider the UI/UX field to be its own specialty. It's just not something I've ever really had an eye for. Maybe at some point I'll try to get some design help.
- Mobile app (React Native), but I want to pin down the design a bit more first so I'm not duplicating work.
- Actual translations. Currently using AI-based translations and I know they're not spot-on. Again, I consider translation to be a skill in and of itself and it's something I value. Once things are pinned down a bit more I'll probably try to get some professional assistance with that.
- Edit profile entries, user email, learning language.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can suggest any improvements or feedback. The github repo is private due to the timing of my layoff and other reasons, but let me know if you want to have a deeper look at the code. And I'm able to answer any questions you may have.
English UI language with Catalan learning language, showing blacked-out words in the sentence example.
After revealing the word, black-out disappears and user can select recall difficulty level. submitted by

2023.06.07 11:04 SpeccyBeard Paldea Evolved sleeved boosters - US only?
When a new expansion is released I always buy a regular booster and a sleeved booster to keep for my collection. But for some reason, I can't seem to find sleeved boosters to pre-order for Paldea evolved in the UK?
All my searches so far show me US stock or some places in the EU, but nothing in the UK.
Even the UK version of the Pokémon centre has no results, not even an option to an pre-order, but the US site does.
Does the Pokémon company sometimes only release sleeved boosters in certain countries?
I have not had this issue before. Maybe they will be added to the store on release day? Seems abit odd though...🤔

2023.06.07 11:02 Mammaddemzak WE NEED YOUR HELP ASAP!!!!!
I'll be fast cause I need to Pardon for poor eng Alright so around 9 months ago I(currently 15 m back then 14 from iran)met this girl from India 15 years old sweetest person I've ever met no way you can find anyone more heart melting more adorable I can't complement more cause I won't stop,I am very serious about her I know we're both unexperienced as it's our first relationship but meh I'm pretty sure I love her to above the skies and I'm looking forward to spending every second of my life with her;yes im aware of what you're gonna tell me about our relationship but please were just asking for a way to hide from her parents
Alright so a week or two I developed a crush she found out a month after she confessed too and bam real huge bam
We've been together happily ever since
Now
One of main problems exept being 2800 and low chances of meeting anytime sooner than maybe around 2 years is her parents
Both of my parents and their spouses(both remarried)know about her so no biggie from my side
But
Her family is real traditional and religious appearantly
Under no circumstances(not even acting gay)can convince her parents to let her talk to a guy let alone have a relationship(she wasn't allowed to have social media till a few months ago)
Yikes indeed
So we're suspicious that her mom kinda knows as she went through her gallery and heard and saw her talking to me on call and other stuff so we're mid of a Lil crisis rn
So what should we do?how do wehide from her parents especially her mom since she's home more than dad and how do we cope?
Of course telling them would be a better option but not right now as well we don't know a way that could have the minimum potential to convince them
I was thinking about waiting a year or something so they'd know I'm serious but she decided telling them when she's moving out of the country(4 years I think or 3,depending on some stuff)so ya
Tl;dr:
Help how to hide from serious gf parents
Thanks a lot people!

2023.06.07 11:02 Mamagirl1990 Am I the asshole for cutting my mom off
So I’m going to try and make this as short as I can. Me and my mom used to be thick as thieves until she met my stepdad which is now her ex husband (still my stepdad though he’s a great man) and idk if she just got older and did a whole 360 or I got older too and just started realizing how much I don’t like her as a person. I’m 33 she is 54 soon to be 55, and she irks every ounce of my existence. She is narcissistic selfish dramatic past obsessed she lies and twists things tickle her fancy and NEVER takes blame..she is also extremely intrusive. My husband and I have a son now who is 19 months old. She always claimed she wanted to be a grandma but the times when we are speaking she hardly ever asks about him..doesn’t buy him anything (which isn’t really important it’s the principle) when she does stop By it’s always and I mean ALWAYS either before any of us are awake or RIGHT when I’m getting him down for a nap. Hell she beats the damn door down like the feds finding the biggest drug dealer ever. Then she stays for 5-10 mins long enough to take forced pics with my child so she looks like a real grandma on Facebook 🤦♀️ she’s always in a hurry or some bullshit. She never even calls to see if she can come over or if we have something else going on and I’m a big fan of at least a text ahead of time..but God forbid we not be home or have company then it’s “oh I see you or you keep him away from me” she doesn’t work she has like a thrift store and my Sons other grandma who is extremely involved btw my mom always acts like she’s in competition with her because she owns a well known restaurant in our area and she does A lot for my Son. She doesn’t offer to help me do anything like babysit or help me clean when she says my house is “filthy” and she’s always got something negative to say or has something to blame me For like being close with my nana who is her mom and she always tries to tell me Things she supposedly said About me trying to get us against each other. Mother’s Day I spent all day with every little dime I had made from a yard Sale which wasn’t much to try and find her the best present and get some Pics of my son printed for her as well and it took forever and I wanted one on canvas for my mother in law they then come up and tell me they have to redo that one. Btw we had been sick the previous week and so I did a yard sale the Saturday before from 7-4 and I was too tired to go shopping afterwards so I went when we got done seeing my MIL who was at work. My mom is very big on gifts and is hard to please with them so I really wanted to find something great well I got home about 6pm and she refused to see me I took my Son to her house anyway we banged on doors and windows my phone was dying so I sat on her porch charging it trying to call her she never answered my calls texts or the door and I broke down crying because I wasted my own Mother’s Day trying to make hers special and didn’t even get to spend much time with my own kid. So am I the asshole for ceasing contact with her after that? Oh also she posted my newborn son on Facebook Right after he was born and we hadn’t even decided to do so yet, she never asked and then told her friends and my family I didn’t want anything to do With him because I was on a lot of pain meds and felt so messed up after my c section so the nurse asked if I wanted her to take him to the nursery so I could rest an hour or 2. Mind you I had held My child before this happened.There’s so much more I could write and I have so many texts of her narcissistic behavior but this is long enough lol now She’s trying to get me to apologize and I’m so just confused and exhausted by her.

2023.06.07 10:55 BugPlus3055 Does anyone else feel this way?
Recently I've been feeling sad because I will never be able to get the g1 dolls from my childhood due to how expensive they are. As much as I love G3 it doesn't fill the hole in my heart I have since they stopped producing the old dolls. When I was young my parents bought me a picture day Abbey and and the original Clawdeen wolf dolls. Unfortunately due to wear I live the creeproduction dolls never released in my country. I just wish I could go back in time when the they were still in stores.

Hi all, I have an old and faded flag in my room that I want to get rid of, but I do not know how to do it with respect and in a way that it looks OK and not like a betrayal in my country (I live in Israel), do you have any ideas on how to dispose from the said flag? Thanks!

I'll be fast cause I need to Pardon for poor eng Alright so around 9 months ago I(currently 15 m back then 14 from iran)met this girl from India 15 years old sweetest person I've ever met no way you can find anyone more heart melting more adorable I can't complement more cause I won't stop,I am very serious about her I know we're both unexperienced as it's our first relationship but meh I'm pretty sure I love her to above the skies and I'm looking forward to spending every second of my life with her;yes im aware of what you're gonna tell me about our relationship but please were just asking for a way to hide from her parents
Alright so a week or two I developed a crush she found out a month after she confessed too and bam real huge bam
We've been together happily ever since
Now
One of main problems exept being 2800 and low chances of meeting anytime sooner than maybe around 2 years is her parents
Both of my parents and their spouses(both remarried)know about her so no biggie from my side
But
Her family is real traditional and religious appearantly
Under no circumstances(not even acting gay)can convince her parents to let her talk to a guy let alone have a relationship(she wasn't allowed to have social media till a few months ago)
Yikes indeed
So we're suspicious that her mom kinda knows as she went through her gallery and heard and saw her talking to me on call and other stuff so we're mid of a Lil crisis rn
So what should we do?how do wehide from her parents especially her mom since she's home more than dad and how do we cope?
Of course telling them would be a better option but not right now as well we don't know a way that could have the minimum potential to convince them
I was thinking about waiting a year or something so they'd know I'm serious but she decided telling them when she's moving out of the country(4 years I think or 3,depending on some stuff)so ya
Tl;dr:
Help how to hide from serious gf parents
Thanks a lot strangers on the internet
