2024.05.15 07:33 WoldonFoot Certain Things Were Said: A TWBTW Campaign (Parts I - IV) (In Verse!)

After sixty-seven sessions of Curse of Strahd (read all about it here), it was time for a change. So into the wild we went...
My group is nearing the end of Hither, and along the way I've written summaries of each session ("What Just Happened?), along with interesting quotes from PCs/NPCs ("Certain Things Were Said"), and a list of new characters introduced that session ("Dramatis Personae").
My intention is to write the summaries from each five parts of the campaign in a different format. For the Witchlight Carnival, each summary was presented in verse (my own, no machine learning shortcuts!), using the the metre and rhyming structure of various Lewis Carrol poems.
I'd like to share my summaries/poems with you all here, for posterity, and in the hope you'll find them entertaining.
For reference, the players are:
NOTE: Lewis Carroll was known to hide secret messages in his poems. I've done the same, revealing the campaign's big twist in one of the poems below. None of my players have picked up on it.

Part I: Welcome to the Witchlight

What Just Happened? (in the style of Jabberwocky)
’Twas twilight when the carnival
Did open wide two golden gates,
And those with tickets did arrive,
Seeking things they had misplaced.
One harengon of curious size,
A kobold with a slithy gait,
An owlet who possessed two eyes
As wide as Annam’s dinner plates.
Yet are we three or are we four?
Let’s add vibrations rarefied:
A Witchlight hand here to ensure
That every guest is Satyrs-fied!
Enter now and taste the sounds,
Feel these colours, smell those sights!
Kaleidoscopic fun abounds
This synaesthesiac’s delight!
Yet where’s the drama? Where’s the tension?
Certainly we’ve had a switch
(At least in here there is no mention
Of that cad von Zarovich).
Instead let’s race a giant snail,
Eat candied mushrooms by the pound,
Or listen to a gnome assail
The tightness of your mother’s gown.
Yet hark! A misadventure glum!
Those not heroes please give berth!
The best laid plans of love undone
By Tasha’s wild unruly mirth
These mirrored halls! This desperate task,
To find a luckless paramour
A sweet-toothed lass with porcine mask
That you could swear you’ve seen before…
’Twas twilight when the carnival
Did open wide two golden gates
And those with tickets did arrive,
Now guided by the wiles of fate.
Dramatis Personae
Arix Specklefoot, a sweet-toothed owlin
Holafina, a curiously short harengon
Skerrek Tirael, a slithy kobold
Sylenos, a cosmic satyr
Nicholas Midnight, elderly goblin ticketmaster at the Witchlight Carnival
Candlefoot, a mime and not by choice
Rubin Sugarwood, a lovesick halfling
Ween Sundapple, his laugh-sick paramour
Glorange Turple, a poetry gnome
Certain Things Were Said
“I am worried about your ability to sense vibrations that I cannot.” - Skerrek Tirael
“Tymore, goddess of good fortune! Look well upon Shellymoo this day!” - Holafina
“Hate to say it, man, but that gnome really insulted your mother.” - Sylenos
“Snacks?” - Arix Specklefoot

Part II: Lost and Found

What Just Happened? (In the style of The Walrus and the Carpenter )
"The time has come," the Satyr said,
"To talk of many things:
Of poems—and props—and Jeremy Plum—
Of crowns and pixie kings—
And why things here keep getting lost—
And what this pig-girl means."
"But wait a bit," the Owlin cried,
"Before our minds do meet,
For some of us are pretty spooked,
And I would like a treat!"
"No hurry!" said the Satyr,
And kicked up cloven feet.
The Owlin and the Kobold
Were walking close at hand,
They smiled like anything to see
The gates of Pixie Land.
"If we could only stay a while,”
They said, "it would be grand!"
The Satyr sighed so sulkily,
Because he thought that Plum
Had got no business to be there
When all was said and done.
(“It's rude of him," the Kobold said,
"To try and spoil our fun!")
"Oi, Satyr," said the pixie king,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Should you be getting back to work?”
But answer came there none
And this was scarcely odd, because
He had real beef with Plum.
Now Arix made a hamster friend
Who offered up some clues.
The others tried the riding-pug:
A pleasant thing to do!
(“The pug is fine," the Rabbit said,
"But he’s no Shellymoo.”)
"How nice of you to come!” said Plum,
"You all are oh-so kind!"
Puddlemud said nothing as
His teeth began to grind.
The Owlin and the Kobold cheered:
“That was our FAVORITE ride!”

“A wooden crown," fair Jexim said,
Is what we need to come
Our way along with golden paint
For some un-princely sum.”
The others stared, confused, and said:
“Now where did YOU come from?”

‘Twas then the party dared approach
The famous Mystery Mine
Where psychedelic spectacles
Broke the Satyr’s mind.
(“I really wish,” Zephixo sighed,
“You wouldn’t ride while high”).

Next Dirla pulled all kind of things
Out of his wagon/portal:
Bottles, bunnies, candlesticks,
A shining blade of vorpal
(Incidentally, there’s a word
That kind of rhymes with purple).
“If you put your mind to it
And searched for long enough,
Do you suppose," the party said,
"That you could find our stuff?"
"I doubt it," said dear Dirlagraun,
And gave a bitter huff.

Then he gave the Harengon
The greatest gift by far:
A copy of “Gnome On The Run”
And bid them au revoir
(Morgie would have laughed at that
While struggling with slash “R”).

“I do believe,” the Satyr said,
“That something is not right,
And think we ought to pay a call
To Messers Witch and Light.”
“I think we ought,” the Owlin said
“To first stop for a bite.”

But in their way old Thaco stood,
A clown grown grim and surly:
“Rabbit! Owlin! Pixie! Skink!
You aren’t allowed to be-“
The Fairy interrupted him:
“Wait, WHAT did you call me?”

Poor Thaco cried: “Things move too fast!
And have since my debut
In R-1: To the Aid of Falx
From Nineteen Eighty Two!
And if you’d seen what I have seen
Then you’d smoke bubbles, too!”

Finally he stepped aside,
At last the way was clear.
The Satyr ambled stealthily
With open eyes and ears
And pressed them to a wagon large
To see what he could hear.

"The time has come," Witch and Light said,
"To talk of things galore
Of prizes—plans—and kenku pests—
and ever so much more—
But first we’d better ask inside
Those spying at our door!”
Dramatis Personae
Jexim, a puzzled, puzzling fairy
Jeremy Plum, operator of the Pixie Kingdom and bestower of silly names
Biscuit, a talkative hamster
Pinecone, a riding-pug
Zephixo, dwarven inventor and mastermind behind the Mystery Mine
Ernest Wilde, middle-aged calliope master currently inhabiting the body of his pet monkey
Marigold, his button-collecting goblin assistant
Dirlagraun, a kindly but inefficient displacer beast, minder of lost children and property
Thaco, a bubble-smoking clown who is long past his prime
Certain Things Were Said
"Worried I was, with talk of missing supper." - Arix Specklefoot
"Could you not just purchase a new pair?" - Skerrek Tirael
"Not like this, man." - Sylenos
"If you'd see the things I've seen, you'd smoke a bubble pipe, too." - Thaco
"Is this it?" - Dirlagraun
"NO." - Everyone

Part III: On the Trail of the Kenku

What Just Happened? (In the style of The Hunting of the Snark)
"Where the heck is our stuff? We just want to know
This Harengon ain't getting bigger,
Arix has no idea of where to go
And lies send poor Skerrek a-quiver!"
"Would you get back to work?" Mister Light cried,
Twirling his cane with a smile,
"Otherwise find where this kenku pest hides;
She's cramping this carnival's style!"
"Well, that was a bust," said our heroes, conferring,
"Anyone got a suggestion?
If we need to pull strings to get back our things
Then there are some folk we should question."
"Time's an illusion, free will a delusion!"
Sylenos' mentor decreed,
"Get a contusion battling occlusions,
Or relax and have some of this…wait, what was I saying?"
Sylenos proclaimed: "A genius flawed!"
"A man/dragon ahead of his time."
Skerrek looked at his claws; Holafina at paws,
And the other two just rolled their eyes
"A centuar I'm not! I just made a bad trade
The "Cloppinton's" just serendipitous,
Now lend me your aid and you'll maybe persuade
These horsies to drop some significance."
Then they took to the skies on a dragonfly ride
(Holafina and Skerrek abreast),
When you're this high there's just nowhere to hide
(And to which Sylenos attests)
Now Skerrek honed on a runaway gnome
Who was fleeing the carnage with glee,
Holafina struck home and that's it for this poem
For the gnome was the kenku, you see.
Dramatis Personae
Mister Witch, a matter-of-fact elf, devoid of pretense
Mister Light, a flamboyant elf, luminous and coy
Burly, a philosophical, pumpkin-helmeted bugbear
Mandragon, a seeker of truth (and not much else)
Diana Cloppington, a centaur who is apparently not, operator of the Carousel
Northwind, a very forthcoming treant, operator of the Dragonfly Rides
Certain Things Were Said
"There’s something weird going on. For some reason everyone thinks I don’t do anything around the carnival." - Sylenos
"It's true, Miss Cloppinton! We've ALL lost things." - Arix Specklefoot
"Wait, when did we have biscuits?" - Jexim

Part IV: Through the Looking Glass

What Just Happened? (In the style of A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky)
Now hear the Kenku’s strange reply
(As Arix struggles to apply
Triage to these pixie guys)
Asking questions, getting nought
Set her on a different course:
High sabotage without remorse!
And what has got her so irate
Is what’s she trying to intimate:
Zybilna has been quiet of late!
Ignore the rest, and let’s take flight
To confront dear Witch and Light
(Surprisingly, they’re quite contrite)
To keep the carnival in motion
A tapestry of lies was woven:
A deal with the Hourglass Coven!
Who take from those who can’t afford
Entrance through the Witchlight’s doors
Miscellanea adored
So THAT’s who taken all your junk!
Time to find these Hourglass punks!
Which way to this Feywild dump?
But first we’ll make a brief aside
So Candlefoot can vocalise
His mermaid love (now legalised)
Now the pair can tie the knot
And while we’re passing time why not
Ride the fabled Bubble Pot?
Yet ere you all are translocated
(Everybody’s breath now bated)
Arix must be coronated!
The time of truth has come at last
Hesitation as you pass
Though the hallowed looking glass
Are you afraid to lose your minds?
What lies ahead? What lies behind?
What do you expect to find?
Will Skerrek ever fabricate?
Or Holafina emulate
A bunny’s median height and weight?
Shall Jexim’s memoirs find acclaim?
Can Monty locate Bobbitt Fane?
(…hang on, that’s a different game)
Does Arix ever find the door?
And will Sylennos flee the cause
To study unemployment law?
Dramatis Personae
Kettlesteam, a mischievous patron of Zybilna
Paleesha, a mellifluous mermaid, now reunited with Candlefoot
Certain Things Were Said
“Sylenos, perhaps in eight years you can come back and find your lost employment.” - Skerrek
“Ask me where the exit is.” - Arix Specklefoot
“Where is the exit?” - Mister Light
“I don’t know.” - Arix

2024.05.15 07:30 TheVelociraptorQueen [TOMT] Book I read in middle school 2005-2008

There is a specific book that I read in middle school some time between 2005 and 2008, and I could be mixing up two books, but what I remember from it is a scene where the girls mother is washing their money because she’s afraid of germs. Another scene (which could be a totally different book) is one where the girl finds out her friends go to the nurse when they have their monthly and get a free soda because their “stomach is hot” so she does the same thing (even though she’s never had her monthly). She does it again a week later and the nurse catches on. That’s all I remember from the book/books, and I don’t even remember who the author is. I feel like the book was probably published before I was in middle school, and I’m like 98% sure I read it either 6th grade (so around 2006) or in eighth grade (so around 2008). If anyone has any ideas whatsoever, pleeease let me know. Thanks in advance.

2024.05.15 07:25 Total-Mastodon-6888 Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid in Your Visa Application

The prospect of embarking on a new adventure in a foreign country can be exhilarating. However, the visa application process
can often feel like navigating a complex maze, riddled with potential pitfalls. At Adric Immigration Consultants in Bangalore, we understand the importance of meticulous preparation when applying for a visa. Here, we unveil the top 10 mistakes to avoid, ensuring your application journey is smooth and successful.
1. Incompleteness and Inaccuracy: The Cardinal Sins
Missing Information: Leaving sections blank or failing to provide all the requested documentation is a recipe for application rejection. Always double-check the application form and ensure you have gathered all the necessary documents well in advance.
Inaccuracies and Inconsistencies: Typos, factual errors, or discrepancies between your application form and supporting documents can raise red flags for immigration officers. Proofread your application meticulously and ensure all details are consistent across all documents.
Unrealistic Travel Dates: Be realistic when specifying your intended travel dates. Delays in processing are common, so factor in a buffer period between your application submission and planned travel dates.
2. Applying for the Wrong Visa: Choosing the Right Path
Misunderstanding Visa Categories: Different visa categories cater to specific purposes, such as tourism, work, or studies. Thoroughly research the visa options offered by your target country and choose the one that aligns perfectly with your travel goals. Don’t hesitate to seek professional guidance if you’re unsure about the most suitable visa category.
Ignoring Eligibility Requirements: Each visa category comes with specific eligibility criteria. Failing to meet these requirements can lead to an immediate rejection. Carefully review the eligibility requirements for your chosen visa category and ensure you qualify before initiating the application process.
3. Failing to Disclose All Information: Honesty is the Best Policy
Misrepresenting Information: Tempting as it might be to omit certain information, complete honesty is crucial when applying for a visa. Fabricating facts or failing to disclose past travel history or criminal records can have severe consequences, including permanent visa ineligibility.
Undeclared Financial Resources: Proof of sufficient financial resources is often a mandatory requirement for many visa applications. Underestimating your expenses or failing to provide adequate financial documentation can raise concerns about your ability to support yourself during your stay.
4. Missing Documentation: Leaving Gaps in Your Story
Incomplete Documentation: Every visa application requires specific supporting documents. Missing documents can create delays or lead to rejection. Carefully review the required documents list and ensure you have everything in order before submitting your application.
Outdated Documents: Certain documents like medical certificates or police clearances have expiry dates. Ensure all your supporting documents are valid and current as per the application requirements.
Improper Translations and Authentication: If any of your documents are not in the official language of your target country, ensure they are translated by a certified translator and bear proper apostille seals or legalization if mandated.
5. Neglecting Application Fees: Don’t Forget the Formalities
Missing Fees: Visa applications often come with associated fees. Failing to pay the correct fee at the designated time can delay your application processing or lead to rejection. Research the applicable fees beforehand and ensure timely payment through the designated channels.
Forgetting Additional Costs: Beyond the official application fee, there might be additional costs associated with medical examinations, biometric data collection, or courier services. Factor in all potential costs when planning your visa application budget.
6. Failing to Meet Deadlines: Time is of the Essence
Missing Deadlines: Visa applications have specific filing deadlines. Late submissions can lead to complications, missed opportunities, or even application rejection. Plan ahead, gather your documents well in advance, and submit your application before the deadline.
Improper Scheduling (Interviews): For certain visa categories, a visa interview with a consular officer is mandatory. Treat this interview seriously, schedule it well in advance to avoid last-minute complications, and arrive promptly on the designated date.
7. Inadequate Travel Insurance Coverage: Be Prepared for the Unexpected
Insufficient Coverage: Travel insurance can be a visa requirement for some countries. Ensure your chosen travel insurance plan offers adequate coverage for medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and repatriation costs.
Neglecting Specific Requirements: Some countries might have specific travel insurance coverage requirements. Double-check if your chosen plan fulfills the minimum coverage mandated by the visa category.
8. Underestimating Processing Times: Patience is Key
Unrealistic Expectations: Visa processing times can vary significantly depending on the visa category, workload of the processing center, and individual circumstances. Research the average processing times for your chosen visa and be prepared for potential delays.
8. Underestimating Processing Times: Patience is Key (continued)
Frequent Inquiries: While it’s understandable to be eager about the status of your application, avoid bombarding immigration authorities with inquiries. Most processing centers offer online portals where you can track the progress of your application.
9. Failing to Prepare for the Interview: Opportunity Knocks Once
Lack of Preparation: If a visa interview is required for your application category, thorough preparation is key. Research common interview questions, anticipate potential inquiries related to your travel plans and purpose of visit, and practice your responses beforehand.
Unprofessional Demeanor: Dress appropriately, arrive on time, demonstrate confidence and respect during the interview. First impressions matter, and a professional demeanor can significantly improve your chances of approval.
Unclear Communication: Speak clearly and concisely, answer questions directly, and avoid providing vague or contradictory information. Effective communication can significantly enhance your interview experience.
10. Going it Alone: Seek Expert Guidance
Lack of Knowledge: Immigration laws are intricate and constantly evolving. Navigating the complexities of the visa application process alone can be overwhelming. Partnering with a reputable immigration consultant like Adric Immigration Consultants in Bangalore can provide invaluable support throughout your journey.

2024.05.15 07:14 dlschindler Treaty Of Tarnak

"In the heart of this darkness, the human spirit alit and led the world to peace. The contest between the Surgix and the Arfim had escalated and the Surgix had shown that they were capable of harmful actions equal to those that humans are capable of. The Surgix continued to cause harm to the Arfim until the humans intervened. It is not the fault of the humans that the Surgix refused to cease, and that the humans resorted to eliminating all of the Surgix and dismantling their infrastructure with the use of projected explosive tools they categorize as 'weapons'. The humans obviously hesitated when the Surgix were in orbit to continue the contest. See the evidence that the humans attempted to warn the Surgix that they were being perceived as a threat before they reduced the star fleet to zero." Grand Defender Osowl Fitten described the actions of the humans of Tarnak. To the humans in the courtroom, she looked like some kind of armored sea otter and her setting on the servo preferred to translate her words in the voice of Park Eun-Bin, a human she admired. Her defense relied on showing that the humans had fought humanely and to protect the Arfim from the aggressions of the Surgix.
"In conclusion, I'd like to mention that projections of what the Surgix would have done to the Arfim would result in the extinction of the Arfim, had not the humans intervened. Because the humans do not have the means or the methods that would have resolved this any other way, their only other option would be to step aside and allow the Surgix to continue their campaign against the Arfim. It is not in human nature to stand idle and watch innocents suffer, without feeling compelled to intervene.
We have already accepted human nature, but we have not accepted the human species into Cave Gods And Friends Association. Since humans are not part of our allegiance, should their actions be held to our governing, or to our policies? Should they be required to follow our rules, and also receive no privileges or protections? The humans acted independently, and yet, with the exception of the nature of their actions, the spirit of their efforts does seem to align with our way of doing things."
Osowl Fitten sat down and closed her flax-colored eyes. Behind her the commanders of the human military were seated, wearing their uniforms with chevrons representing their degree of knowledge of warfare, a distinctly human endeavor. Unfortunately, the degree of human warfare so greatly exceeded the nasty business of the Surgix horde, that the result was the swift and efficient eradication of all Surgix equipment, fortifications and the Surgix themselves, who were actually killed by the humans - but only as a last resort when the Arfim refugees were pursued into human territory. Images of the humans firing warning shots and using sound amplifiers with recordings of Surgix in distress to attempt to warn the Surgix before they committed to using harmful actions on them.
When nothing would stop the Surgix advance, the humans were triggered into a state of war, and then they used harmful actions to remove all things Surgix, resulting in a morbid peace, during which the Arfim began to recover and rebuild, with human assistance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, bringers of peace and harmony, esteemed artists, conflict-resolvers, lend to me your attention." The Blue Light Watcher, a species the humans saw as anthropomorphic tarantulas, had a device that instantly spoke in perfect mechanical English, whatever her urticators vibrated. Her name was Exalted Inquisitor Ghox Byle, and like Osowl Fitten, she had an exceptionally successful career.
"Two years ago, the Surgix sued for peace. This is because the humans attacked them on Tarnak IV, the last remaining colony of the Surgix in the Tarnak System. The severity and brutality of this attack must be noted. It does not show any sort of restraint until after the Surgix surrendered. Even after the Surgix had surrendered, individual human soldiers killed Surgix that were trying to surrender. Therefore, despite the description of the Battle of Tarnak and the repelled Surgix Invasion of Tarnak, there was a third, much darker chapter in which the human generals decided to attack the remaining Surgix forces before they could possibly launch a second invasion attempt.
This sort of excessive use of violence is a uniquely human capability. Not even the Surgix were ready to engage humans in this sort of contest. The Surgix have renounced war, disarmed themselves and have applied for membership in Cave Gods And Friends Association. The humans, they don't even want to join, they have said to us that they don't need our guidance, that they are capable of making moral choices on their own. This arrogance, coupled with their extreme capabilities in conflict resolution, should mean that those among us who have made preparations to deal with the humans, should be allowed to utilize those preparations." Exalted Inquisitor Ghox Byle concluded.
Osowl Fitten stood alone in the interrogation suite. The memory of that courtroom moment was considered by the Sunder tribunal. No Cave Gods were summoned, and Osowl had already stated that she found this to be a court-martial, and her compulsory cooperation was only because her friends were held captive.
An artificial human-sounding voice, not too different from a famous K-Pop singer from the twenty-second century of the humans before their ascension spoke disembodied, translated from the Sunder administration's shadow government, on some distant moon in the Basilik system.
"You think the humans are just trying to get help from the Sunder to make new weapons in preparation for a possible invasion by the Unknown. Why wouldn't you consider that we have no recognition of this mythology? We are not as sentimental about superstitions as the Cave Gods, and we will be the judges this time, for once. No Cave Gods will sit there groveling in prayer and meditation trying to make some higher moral decision. It has become tedious."
"You disregard what unites us. Your cowardice is beneath me. Take me to a proper courtroom and we will formally debate this. Where is Eshka Layenna?" Osowl's eyes were bright red and tinted with jagged black veins. She was outraged by the indignity.
"We have decided to dispose of the prisoners on a timeline aligned with the conclusion of these proceedings." The Sunder said, oddly accenting the English, as though the voice preferred another language, and it was just one more layer to the indignations.
"You show them these defenses of mine, then?" Osowl flittered a yellow shimmer across her eyes and fell silent, considering a different approach.
"Well, are you without any argument? This concludes these proceedings." The hidden Sunder spoke.
"You would not consider the thespian nature of our arrest to be sufficient trade, to warrant our expedition a circus, and therefore overturn the verdict?" Osowl asked. "When I leave I will mention these proceeding concluded with such a question. Perhaps you will consider your reputation as ruthful judges to prioritize over the satisfaction of a precedent of victory over human crime won only with this silly court-martial."
"Uh. No. Well. Actually, we have reconsidered. We admit such a question is entered into these proceedings and that we have heard that question."
"And?" Osowl prompted their response, making a prompting coughing noise.
"We have noted the popularity and uniqueness of the Phoenix Hawk's arrival classifies it as a circus, technically. If that is really what you are claiming, and not to buy weapons?"
"I never intended to buy weapons, nor can I confirm that my companions expected to be able to either. Mostly we just wanted to visit and articulate in-character the mythologies you have said are never more than sentiment. Sounds to me like a circus." Osowl had already thought of her words before they asked, and answered with a quickness that assured her veracity was intact.
"In that case, the verdict is overturned. Unbelievable." said the voice of the Sunder.
"One more thing. Since Eshka Layenna is now free, I veto her reparations be in the form of restoring all forms of her authority as an Exalted Inquisitor, that way you aren't embarrassed by these proceedings." Osowl big brained.
"Of course. That makes perfect sense." the voice decided.
Eshka Layenna was released and her authority was restored promptly. She took her seal and issued a command for the research and development of mass-scale plasma shielding that might protect a fleet of ships from bombardment in space and the manufacture of all forms of ammunition on Admiral Jinar's shopping list. This infuriated Administrator Ihanna Kelele, who was obligated to obey the orders.
As they left, the humans asked about Tarnak IV and Tarnac, the home world of the Riftin. It turned out they were coincidentally named very similarly, but the two planets were in different systems and quite distinct. The humans thought this was funny for some reason.
"Historically your species has the most adaptive sense of humor, but I fear the Riftin might give you humans a run for your money?" Osowl attempted, botching it horribly.
"No! - that's just hilarious, a what for our what?" Jinar and her soldier died laughing.

2024.05.15 07:13 Total-Mastodon-6888 The Impact of COVID-19 on Immigration Policies

The global COVID-19 pandemic sent shockwaves through every facet of our lives, and immigration policies were no exception. At Adric Immigration Consultants in Bangalore, we understand the uncertainty and challenges this has caused for individuals and families with international aspirations. This blog post delves into the impact of COVID-19 on immigration policies around the world, offering insights into the current landscape and potential future trends. immigration consulting services
.
A Global Disruption: Border Closures and Travel Restrictions
The initial response to the pandemic involved a widespread closure of borders and implementation of strict travel restrictions. Many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and India, suspended visa processing for certain categories or altogether. This sudden halt significantly impacted individuals seeking work visas, student visas, and family reunification opportunities.
While some restrictions have eased as the pandemic progressed, the pace of recovery for immigration processes varies significantly by country. Understanding the current situation in your target country is crucial for making informed decisions about your immigration journey.
Reliable Resources for Updated Information:
Here are some resources where you can find the latest information on travel restrictions and immigration policies for specific countries:
Shifting Priorities: Focus on Essential Workers and Healthcare Professionals
As the pandemic unfolded, the need for essential workers in various sectors became evident. Many countries introduced temporary visa programs or streamlined processing for healthcare professionals, agricultural workers, and other critical personnel. This shift in focus reflects the need for skilled labor to maintain vital services during a global crisis.
Impact on Specific Visa Categories:
The Evolving Landscape for Essential Workers:
While the initial focus on essential workers provided a temporary reprieve, it’s crucial to stay updated on current policies and potential changes for these visa categories.
Embracing Technology: Virtual Interviews and Online Applications
The pandemic accelerated the use of technology in immigration processes. Several countries adopted virtual interviews for visa applications, reducing reliance on in-person interactions and expediting certain aspects of the process. Additionally, online application portals became more widely used, offering a more convenient and streamlined experience for applicants.
The Future of Technology in Immigration:
The pandemic’s impact on technology adoption in immigration processes is likely to have lasting effects. We can expect to see continued use of online applications, virtual interviews, and potentially even AI-powered tools for document screening in the future.
Navigating Uncertainty: The Importance of Expert Guidance
The COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably created a dynamic environment for immigration policies. Keeping track of ever-evolving regulations and procedures can be overwhelming. Partnering with a reputable immigration consultant like Adric Immigration Consultants in Bangalore can provide invaluable support during these uncertain times.
How We Can Help:
Looking Ahead: A Potential Resurgence of Immigration
While the pandemic presented significant challenges for immigration, some experts predict a potential resurgence of immigration activity in the post-pandemic era. Countries recovering from the economic effects of the pandemic might seek skilled labor to rebuild their economies. Additionally, a renewed focus on global collaboration and innovation could lead to increased demand for international talent exchange.
Potential Areas of Growth:
The Importance of Adaptability:
Regardless of the specific direction immigration policies take, the key takeaway is the need for adaptability. Partnering with an experienced immigration consultant can equip you with the knowledge and guidance required to navigate the evolving landscape and pursue your immigration goals effectively.
Conclusion: Embracing the Journey with Confidence
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly reshaped the world of immigration. However, it’s important to remember that the desire for international exchange and opportunity remains strong. At Adric Immigration Consultants in Bangalore, we believe that with the right knowledge, preparation, and expert support, you can successfully navigate the immigration process, even in these times of change.

2024.05.15 07:10 mgkspells Isn’t it crazy that in 2024, 4K players are STILL plagued with flaws?!

I have a Sony UBP-X700. I paid extra to get a modded one that has region free capability (for blu-ray’s, I import sometimes.)
I have a lot of 4K discs from various companies. The Sony works fine, MOST of the time. I’ve had it freeze a few times on multi-layer 4K discs for long movies.
Tonight, the player did something I had never seen it do before. I put in the 4K for The Company of Wolves, it’s a 90min film but the disc apparently has high bitrate or multiple layers. The movie will play for a bit, and then lose signal to the TV completely (black screen) for about 5 seconds, then it comes back. It’ll do this completely randomly, even with the film paused. I’ve never had it do this on any other disc.
Desperate for a solution, I turned off Dolby Vision on the player menu, and now the movie plays fine. However, that’s extremely annoying because the disc is actually graded for DV! So, obviously I’d like to watch and utilize the DV, and should be able to!
What pisses me off is, spending over $250 for a player that can’t perform a task that MOST 4K discs (especially new films) nowadays utilize. And apparently, this is an issue with MOST 4K players! I’m so irritated, I’m almost tempted to get the Panasonic UB820 out of spite alone. That appears to be the gold standard of 4K players, but of course it costs $400+ which is honestly a hard pill to swallow… Ugh!
My gripe is, can anyone explain why we can’t get working 4K players in 2024, that don’t cost so much? Why are there so few players on the market, and the one that seems to do its job well is the most expensive, can’t we just have normal players that work??? Dolby Vision and triple layer discs aren’t a rarity, so why can’t these companies just fix their shit? There are countless blu-ray players that work perfectly, but you spend hundreds on 4K for higher quality, and the players are shabby. Is my only fix to get the Panasonic???

2024.05.15 07:03 Dapper-Alfalfa1918 Bf M(26) Gf F (25) what should I do? Any suggestions.

Any suggestions
Before I explain the situation. I know a lot of people have different boundaries so please respect. I want to break up with my boyfriend because I don’t trust him anymore. I have my reasons to why. On the 3rd month of dating I let him know that I didn’t feel comfortable him having half naked women on his social media, and he told me he don’t pay any mind attention to that. & I just suggested him to erase them when he comes across them and he agreed. I asked him to why he don’t just erase them he said cus he don’t care for it. Anyways second issue, I used to see a lot of girls Snapchat him and when I mentioned it he said he spoke to his girl- friend that is married and I have met before and his guy friend, although I didn’t believe it I chose to give benefit of the doubt. Only reason why I didn’t believe is cus I saw a recurrent snap emoji of a girl. But I thought to myself it’s just a friend. Everything went down hill as time went by, he in fact commented on the girl snap story “ sexy” on her photo & mentioned to me it’s a girl he used to like/talk back in hs. I didn’t see their conversations but, she was sending heart emojis. Anyways, I chose to stay in the relationship bc I thought to myself it’s just a comment. Even tho it was eating me up that he did that. So that triggered me to check his following and the pictures he be liking on instagram , he was following soooo many girls and liking half naked pictures of women. I was so confused cus he told me don’t pay mind attention and more confused to where he was finding these random girls and following them. I mentioned to him about liking half naked women and told him that I would move on if he continues and he said , okay I understand there’s no excuse for my actions ….. he mentioned it’s a habit. W.e anyways I then asked him to show me his IG DMs bc he was following so many girls I thought to myself what if he’s messaging them , well he showed me and nothing. I asked him nicely brought the concern calmly. Anyways, he felt like I was accusing him. But I just wanted to make sure. Then, I kept on seeing his followers and my last straw was when he followed a stripper. Anyways I mentioned his following at the wrong time when we were in vacation. And he said it’s to get inspiration to take pictures of me that’s why he followed women. Anyways, we left it there and then I brought it up again he got so defensive and tired that I was bringing up this issue again and to why I’m bringing social media. I told him how it made me feel and he said he’ll stop and that it’s a habit. Anyways, yesterday I looked through his following and saw he liked a half naked picture of women after we had that conversation. He told me he was erasing women that was showing ass on Facebook , & instagram & that just showed me bs. Thing is right now he’s in basic training for the army so I can’t do much about it now. But I don’t want to be with him, I feel like there was never a solution and was just slapped with a band aid and he told me he’s only doing the unfollowing and stuff just out of “courtesy”. I’m not sure when and how to break up with him. He’s in basic now and then I see him on his ceremony .We been together for 7 months and this issue has been recurring…. And I’m afraid it will. I see no point of working it out cus it’ll be a long distance relationship. My trust has been broken many times. Also he has wandering eyes . I mentioned to him on the 4th month of dating that he has wandering eyes again he told me it’s a habit and he don’t be noticing that… I told him it’s okay to find other people attractive it’s natural but to break a neck it’s where it becomes an issue and staring . Before he left to basic we went to a concert and I saw him staring at a girl and when she walked by he looked back . Right at front of me. What should I do? Is it really a habit ?

Automating Your Inbox: VBA Forwarding Techniques

Email management can be a tedious task, especially when it comes to handling a large volume of messages and ensuring important emails are forwarded to the right recipients with their attachments intact. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) offers a powerful solution to automate these processes within Microsoft Outlook, saving time and reducing the potential for human error. By writing specific VBA scripts, users can customize their email handling, forwarding emails based on certain criteria, including sender, subject, or specific keywords contained within the email body.
This automation not only streamlines the forwarding process but also ensures that all necessary attachments are included, maintaining the integrity of the information being shared. Whether for personal use or within a corporate environment, mastering VBA to automate email forwarding can significantly enhance productivity. The following sections will guide you through the basics of setting up VBA scripts for email forwarding, including how to access the VBA editor in Outlook, write the necessary code, and apply it to incoming emails to automate the forwarding process.
Command Description
CreateItem Creates a new Outlook mail item.
Item.Subject Specifies the subject of the email.
Item.Recipients.Add Adds a recipient to the email.
Item.Attachments.Add Adds an attachment to the email.
Item.Send Sends the email item.
Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection Gets the currently selected item(s) in Outlook.

Expanding Automation: The Power of VBA in Email Management

Email has become an indispensable part of professional communication, often resulting in a flooded inbox that can be challenging to manage efficiently. This is where the power of VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) comes into play, particularly in the context of Microsoft Outlook. VBA allows for the automation of repetitive tasks, such as forwarding emails with attachments, which can significantly enhance productivity and ensure no important communication is missed or delayed. By leveraging VBA, users can create scripts that automatically identify and forward emails based on predefined criteria, such as specific keywords in the subject line or from certain senders, ensuring that critical information is promptly shared with the relevant parties.
Moreover, the automation process via VBA is not limited to just forwarding emails but can be extended to include custom responses, organizing emails into specific folders, and even setting up alerts for emails from VIP contacts. This level of automation can transform how individuals and organizations manage their email communications, making the process more streamlined and less prone to human error. For individuals who are not familiar with programming, the initial setup of VBA scripts might require a learning curve, but the long-term benefits of automating mundane email tasks can free up valuable time for more important work. Additionally, the customization aspect of VBA scripts means that they can be tailored to fit the unique needs of any user or organization, making it a versatile tool in the arsenal of email management strategies.

My Step Dad purposefully ruined my $900 prom dress by washing it! Is there anything I can do such as take legal?

Edit: Sorry for some reason Reddit took my original post down. This is my first time using Reddit
’ve never posted on here, but I really need advice because I’m so distraught and have no clue what I should do I’m only 17 and don’t know if there’s any legal action I can take. So for a little background I live with my bio mom and her husband since my dad and mom separated and were never married. I originally lived with my dad since I was 2 he won custody during the custody battle. However he later lost custody of me after having a bad work accident that made him paralysed and he wouldn’t be able to take care of me but I still see him every weekend and the whole summer. I moved in with my mom and her husband and their two sons ,1 stepbrother and 1 half brother, when I was 10. And ever since then my stepdad basically directly and indirectly says that I’ve disrupted their lives by coming back into my mother’s life, because I’m an extra person they have to take care of.
I’ve been working since I was in 10th grade and saving up for my senior yeacollege since last year with the money from my job since my mom and her husband let me know that only my mom would only help me with the basics such as my graduation cap and gown, senior dues, and senior class photo. Anything else I would have to pay for myself such as prom.
I get paid about $400 every two weeks from my job which Ive been saving in full, and then making extra money doing nails about $100 a week plus tip which I use as my spending money. Since it’s my senior and last year of high school I’ve been wanting to go all out for prom so I set a $800 budget for my prom dress. My prom is in April and I wanted to get my prom dress early since most of the actual cute ones sell out quick. So I went prom dress shopping in December and found a beautiful dress that’s costed $890. It’s dark green with a long train with rhinestone imbedded into it with glitter in the dress.
When I first showed my mom and stepdad the dress they asked how much it was, which I told them the amount and my mom said that she wouldn’t be paying for a dress that expensive which I replied it’s okay because I have more than enough money saved up to buy it, and I’ll still have a lot of money left over (23k to be exact but only my mom knows that) mom said I could get the dress and that it was very pretty, however my stepdad said that it’s irresponsible and a waste of money and I should use it for better things like helping out the family and paying some of the bills. And get a dress cheaper that’s max $300. Mind you both his son’s own PS5 and multiple $200+ shoes.
Long story short my mom disagreed with him and I ended up getting the dress in the end and she even put $150 toward it.
However ever since then he constantly brings up that I help pay for things around the house since I have so much money to throw away but my mom always shuts it down saying that I work hard for my money to save it and I already help about with paying the Netflix, Amazon prime, and Hulu bills while my step brother (18) don’t pay anything.
Anyway last Saturday we got into a really big disagreement because my stepdad suggested I should help my step brother pay for his prom to which I responded with no. He later called me selfish and said that it’s not fair that I get an expensive outfit while he doesn’t. And I guess I said with in a snarky way I responded with that’s not my child or my problem. He later tried to complain to my mom and she said that I was right and that if anything he should pay for his own prom.
Well today when I woke up from a nap I noticed my prom dress was missing from my closet since it’s in the very front of my closet and looked around for it. I then asked my stepdad if he has seen it since my mother was at work. And he said he had, and in fact he was washing it, while giving me a condescending smile. I immediately ran downstairs and saw my dress being washed on the heavy duty cycle I immediately cancel it and it was ruined. Majority of my rhinestones came out and the glitter was washed out the whole dress had been mangled.
I took one look at it and then threw it a trash bag and left for my friends house with the dress. I texted my mom and sent her pictures but I’m currently at my friends house and laying on her bed. My friends parent hanged it outside to allow it to air dry so my stepdad can’t put the blame on them if the dried it in the dryer. What makes me know he did to spite me because he never washes clothes, cooks or anything since “he’s the man of the house so he shouldn’t have to”, so there was no viable reason he could have for washing it, even if it needed washing.
Is there anything I can do? I know neither of them can replace being they are tough financial situation? I’ll update you guys when mom gets home. So far my stepdad has called 2x but I haven’t answered him. And my mom’s at work and can’t receive calls.

My heart hurts for you. Get him to admit it over text then file small claims court.
OOP: He’s not gonna admit I don’t think imma try to get audio but we also have cameras with audio imma try and use them when my mom gets off

Rhodin265
I didn’t see this suggested, but since you’re paying for the streaming services, change your passwords and log out all devices. Giant toddlers don’t get their tanties rewarded with their stepkid’s Netflix.

It would be a dastardly shame if Step Dad's favorite shoes were accidentally left on the porch in the snow all night.

Update - 1 day later

Edit 1:I don't know how to add updates so imma just add an edit but my mom and me just got off the phone and she's pissed and otw home. She's currently otw home so me and my friend and her dad are otw to my house and my mom said she was gonna call the cops as soon as she get off the phone so they may be there by the time I get there. We've taken pictures and the uncle (my mom brother) will be over there by 8 bc I contacted him while at work. I've listened to all your suggestions about withdrawing my money out of my account so I thinking and I talked to my dad about that as well and told me I can stay with him
Edit/Update 2:When I got home my friend stayed in the car while her dad walked me in, and my step dad was already gone. However police were at the house. As of now police said they can’t really arrest him because it’s not like he broke the law of stealing (I don’t know how to explain it basically this theft isn’t breaking the law bc he washed it and didn’t keep it) they suggested I can get a confession and get him to pay or take him to small claims court. Also the dress is non refundable if damaged so I can’t return it or anything. While explaining to my mom what happened I kinda fumbled my words and started crying and she hugged me as I cried. And she said that he’s gonna pay for this, this financial issue has actually been a on going disagreement and I think he just pulled the last straw bc she is PISSED. Also I talked to my uncle and he’s actually off work and over his way over here.
Him and my stepdad apparently have a rough history since my dad has had a smart mouth towards him in the past. While explaining to my uncle what happened he said that it would be alright and if anything he’ll buy back the dress before it sells out, so I’ll have my dress by prom but he does expect my step dad to pay me back one way or another so I’m basically probably gonna get my dress for free. Maybe that’s a little win. I’ll update more probably later tonight. But things seem to be good.
Edit: Also to clear up some confusion I pay the streaming service bills bc I really want to watch the shows on those services and my mom works hard but doesn’t make enough to have those services on top so I’ve offer to pay them so we could have them. She not a horrible “I’ll pick my husband over you” mother and she always defend me and he’s never pulled a stunt like this just tries to convince her to control my money and savings. And she’s never spent my saving either. I feel like thats why they always clash because he has a mindset of we have all these financial troubles and your daughter could solve them with her savings and you have access to them.
Edit/Update 4: Okay so my uncle came over and he and my mom had a little argument bc he blamed her for enabling my stepdads behaviour by not leaving him and thats why he felt comfortable to do what he did. And she argued back saying she always defended me against him and has never taken any of my money (which is true). We all talked about it a bit and she revealed that last night they had actually had a argument about paying off a car payment because she made a comment about how all these bills are taking a toll on her, and he made a comment about how it wouldn’t be that much of a toll if she used my savings and didn’t allow me to spend it on foolishness and she got mad and defensive bc he keeps bringing it up.
He also said that the $900 I spent could’ve payed off that car payment for the next 2 months. Btw he only know about my savings because he know how’s much I get paid and that I’ve been saving all of it. So we think that’s what triggered him to throw my dress in the washer.
My mom and stepdad has also been texting back and fourth and he admitted that he washed it to teach me a lesson that I shouldn’t spend that much money on a dress that can be destroyed that easily but he put the setting on heavy duty so he obviously intended to destroy it. My uncle has also offered to replace the dress so I don’t need to worry about not getting to wear my special dress. We called the boutique and explained it to them and they say they can order another dress although it won’t be there until Feb 23 which fine tbh.
My mother sent my step dad a long threatening message basically calling him out shes kinda heated rn so imma try and ask for a screenshot later. Her and my father also spoke and decided that it’d be best that I get my own bank account so that my step dad can’t use the excuse that she has access to my account so that’s also great. My mom and I had a talk about what gonna happen after this and she said shes not sure as of just yet bc it’s all a little too much for her bc she seriously contemplating leaving him, but i guess she don’t wanna actively discuss that right now. Also my stepdad is currently at a friends house. I’ll continue to update possibly may get one tomorrow. My friends parent are gonna keep the dress over their house and imma pick it up tomorrow to have as proof.
Edit:I apologise for not being to update since Reddit took down my post because of a “no walls text rule” that I was unaware of but it’s all good now
Edit/Update 5: My uncle has transferred me $1000 for my prom dress and I’m actually planning on using the money for replace the dress and buy new shoes. He’s very well off, which was one reason I contacted him in the first place.
So I plan on just calling the boutique and seeing if they can reorder it and I’ll just pick it up from there sometime in February. However my step-dad still must pay in some form, or at least we are trying to get him to. My uncle has called my other uncles and aunts (with my permission) to basically vent about the situation.
So majority of my mom side who all live in GA knows about what happened. I woke up to a lot of text about the situation given sympathy, as well as money to have for prom which have totalled to about $300. So this is great. My mom has also contacted my step-in-laws who then spread the news with pictures and I guess most of them are shocked as well other than his mother his is buying his claim that it’s just a dress and it was a accident despite evidence. I got a call from my step-dad sister sympathising for me.
And through conversations with I learned that my step-dad has also been asking a lot of his family to help him with his finances. Because for some reason the dude has bought so many things to pay off he can’t keep up with them.
My mom called my step-dad for answers which we recorded. And he’s basically trying to blame her bc if she didn’t piss him off last night then he wouldn’t have done it. And that he was trying to show me why I shouldn’t be irresponsible with money bc I guess he planned to lecture afterwards.
Also my mom has broken up with him bc he blamed her for caring more about me than him, which is weird. Which ensured in a argument with her saying “you think i care about her more than you, your gonna see just how much I do”
Also they’ve been on a rocky relationship since he can’t manage money and this was her breaking point.

Just saw this update!! Now that you have the text, please show the police as confession as destruction of property and/or take him to court to pay for it. It’s not fair to your uncle. Once you get your step dad to pay up, you can pay your uncle back. Girl Good luck!

sherbear97124
What your step-dad did is called malicious mischief and is a crime. With the confessions and proof, there probably is a case. Just know that because of the monetary value, it's most likely just a misdemeanor charge. Regardless, you definitely have a small claims case against him. Sadly, by the sounds of his financial affairs, you'll be lucky if he ever pays, but it's still worth pursuing. Good luck!

Update - same day later

Edit/Update 6: Sorry to post on here Reddit keep telling me to try again later so sorry again
Okay so a lot of bs has transpired. Firstly we’ve place an order for my dress, and they are shipping it now and it should be at the boutique by Feb 23 so all that is taken care of. My SD and mom are officially broken up and my mom said she doesn’t now if she’ll move on with divorce proceedings yet bc everything is still fresh and lawyer are expensive and she can’t afford it rn.
Also they have a prenup so they don’t share assent and the house is my mother dad house she inherited (she had a different dad than all her siblings and all her siblings share a dad).
So my step father showed back up with his brother after a while and my step father decided to do and buy me a new dress from Macy that looks similar to dress in color and length but it’s very tacky and ugly. And look nothing like the original.
He then tried to apologise and said it wasn’t his intention to ruin the dress. he said that he was simply gonna wash it and say “see this is why you don’t buy things like this” and then he would’ve bought me another dress…. But that’s make absolutely no sense.
Also my uncle came back to my house after I texted him my step dad came back (he was at the store) and they got into a big argument where basically my uncle demanded to know why he destroyed the dress
And my step dad said he not gonna walk up in his house demanding shit, and my uncle called him a bitch. And then my SD said to call him a bitch again which he did and they ended up fighting. (My SD lost) he threatened to call the cops but we reminded him that he swung first
After that my step dad went on a tirade and cussed us out and left and took the dress with him.
We are actually planning on taking y’all advice and taking him to small claims court given the evidence and the damage. And hopefully we win. Also my SD is staying at his parents house currently.
Lastly for all curious about my brothers they are 15 (half) and 18 (step) .The 15 was at his girlfriend house since Friday so he wasn’t home for any of the commotion but did reach out to me today, I love him so much. And the 18 year basically sided with his dad so that all there is to say.
Also those who suggested changing the streaming’s passwords I have change them. And me and my mom are gonna get me my own bank account later today. Thank you guys for all the support I’ll continue to update as thing come and our plans of action and the verdict and all

2024.05.15 06:58 TheElderAnimator I am young, and am seriously struggling with my own intellect.

As the title suggests, i am quite young, not sure i should share my exact age though. I am not trying to brag,
I have always been incredibly smart, and found many gifted classes too easy in my childhood, eventually to the point i viewed them as nothing more than extra work for the same boredom for 40 minutes(this will relate a bit later). And in any classes that weren't specifically for gifted students, i could normally keep my head down the entire lesson with headphones on, and glance over at what we were doing and understand it almost entirely, this kind of talent and ability left me completely without any need to study for the first 10 years of school, and as such, i never learned HOW to properly study, after about 4th grade, i decided to deny teacher requests to move me into gifted classes altogether, because i didnt want the extra homework for in my mind, the same amount of learning. I think this may have impacted me, because i find myself constantly worrying if it would have helped my future if i were to be in these classes.
I studied human behavior and earth science as well as physics from an incredibly young age, if i can remember as young as 5, and have always enjoyed math, i remember being able to do my sister's math homework in my head, which was four grade levels above me, and until incredibly recently, i hadn't learned a single new thing in math, or science classes, since i was in 1st grade.
I've tried to take multiple free IQ tests(dont judge me im broke) and well i know these aren't always accurate in measuring intelligence overall, i maxed out two of them, and got the second highest score possible on the third. Often times i feel like i am some sort of anomaly, and everybody else is an idiot around me, and i know this isnt necessarily true, and each person has their own talents, it seems like i am better than most people at just about everything.
Overall, i know i am smart, and i have always been talented in anything logic, or thinking, and i am confident in my own capabilities, however, i am starting to worry that my lack of development in terms of actual learning skills, may have a devastating effect on my high school career and into college, i am as my name suggests, planning on going into animation despite my zero skills in art, so i dont know how much studying will help in an animation college, but i am incredibly worried for my high school career!
P.S: if this post is weirdly written, or doesn't make sense at some parts, first off sorry for bad punctuation, second off, sorry for the bad writing, i hate going through and polishing text blocks.

You edit content
And yet
You are at the same place where you started
And it’s because
You are not analyzing your mistakes.
And these are the four things:
  1. Not following Short Form Video Formula If you want to go viral, then follow this Structure. - HOOK - how will you grab the audience's attention within the first 3 seconds? - MESSAGE - Dig deeper at the problem and confirm to the viewer what you hooked them on is a problem. - EXAMPLE - Make it tactical, practical & applicable, and Give an example of how they can solve the problem. - CTA - What direction do you want the viewer to go?
  2. Not Collaborating with Others The best way to go from 0 to 1000 1000 to 10,000 Followers is via Collaboration So start collaborating right now.
  3. Not posting enough stories We often focus so much on creating content that we ignore this part. So post at least 3-5 stories every day - Sharing Routine - Talking about clients' problem - Lead Generation Stories
  4. Not being Consistent You can’t complain about anything if you are not consistent So be consistent first and then complain :D
