Fantage Emoji + Readers Bonus!
Fantage is kicking off back-to-school with the release of new emoji for iOS!
Hamster Paradise Part 2 Guide!
Fantage has released the second part of Hamster Paradise! Part 2 was released to a rough start as downtown was left completely unchanged and no one could buy the items needed for the event. This has been fixed, but the event info is still unchanged so I hope this post will clear some things up!
Hello, everyone! Today, I will be writing about a brand new event on Fantage! The Hamster Paradise was recently launched, and appears to be quite similar to the past Unicorn events. The rules are fairly simple. Players earn levels and prizes simply for spending time on Fantage! To speed up this process, players also have the option to use gems, which provide a time boost which differs based on the rarity of the gem used. If you're like me, and have a lot of gems saved up, levelling up in this event should be easy!
Fantage has left us a little/big clue/mistake about the next event. For the first time ever Fantage will be officially celebrating Chinese New Year. For the uninformed, Chinese New Year is the new year on the Lunar Calendar (USA and many other countries use the Gregorian Calendar). 2017 will be the Year of the Rooster, and the New Years day will be January 28th.
It'll be interesting to see the new items.
So Fantage released the "Happy Holidays 2016" event. The main part of it is called "Rescue Elfie" which is the same as last year's holiday event "Runaway Rudolph". Here is a preview of the items for this event.
My favorite items are the top and the snowflake. Here's the Limited Cart with prices of each item.
Leave a comment down below on your favorite item from this event!

Why 'depaysement' is the one foreign word every traveller should know
Ben Groundwater
Travellers often get hooked on the challenge of being somewhere different. Photo: iStock
It's hard to put your finger on the feeling. You're away from home, in a foreign land, surrounded by foreign faces. You're apprehensive, but excited. You're nervous, but alive.
Every synapse feels like it's firing when you first set foot in a strange place, when you have to figure out the lay of the land, try to decide if you're safe or in danger, if you should be elated or afraid. Every part of you is in overdrive.
What do you call that? "Culture shock" doesn't cut it. "Excitement" doesn't do it justice either, given that undercurrent of fear. We don't have a single term that sums all those feelings up.
But the French do.
Until now, my favourite foreign word with no English translation had been "lagom". That's the Swedish term for "just enough", or "a fair share", or "a sufficient amount". It's as much a way of life in Sweden as it is a single word, an attitude that you don't need too much in life, you don't need to be hugely rich or get extremely drunk or eat so much that you're really, really full – you just need "lagom".
Lagom was always my favourite. That is, until a few weeks ago when I heard about "depaysement". It's French, and it has, of course, a certain "je ne sais quoi". Derived from the word "pays", meaning country, its most literal translation is "to be without country". Its effective use, however, goes further.

Depaysement is all of the feelings that hit you when you're away from home, when you're visiting a strange place for the first time.
For some people, that experience is horrific. For the millions of people who are currently displaced from their homes due to war or oppression, depaysement is most definitely a bad thing, something we should all be trying to help mitigate. It's pure sadness and fear.
For others, however, particularly travellers, depaysement is something we bring upon ourselves consciously – and even then it's not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing.
Depaysement is shocking, but it's also exciting. It's intimidating, but also electrifying. It sums up what you go through when you travel. In fact, it sums up what you become addicted to.
That is what's so great about this word. Depaysement is not just a fleeting feeling; it's something travellers secretly crave.
Anyone who says they have the "travel bug" – they crave depaysement. Anyone who chafes at the feeling of sitting at a desk all day going through the same boring routine – they crave depaysement. Anyone who actively misses the feeling of not knowing where they are or what's going on around them – they crave depaysement.
That's the feeling that makes travel great. That's the everyday thrill you miss when you're at home doing normal things.
I love being a foreigner in a foreign land. Life feels so much bigger and fuller when you have to work to achieve the smallest things, like ordering a coffee or catching a bus. Everything is a process that has to be figured out. It's an ordeal that has to be experienced.
Your whole world is a challenge when you're going through depaysement. What you eat for breakfast, what you say to greet a friend, where you go, what you do and how you get there all become a trial when you're away from the comfort of home.
That might sound difficult, and in some ways it is. Some days it drives you crazy and you just want to be back in a place where everything is easy and it all makes sense. Some days when you're in India or Morocco or Vietnam or Russia you just want a lazy, easy day where the simplest chore isn't a challenge, and everyone just smiles at you or leaves you alone.
It's also, let's not forget, a supreme privilege to be able to choose to go through this feeling, and to treat it as a joy rather than an ordeal.
But that is what travel for the adventurous is all about. You get hooked on the challenge of being somewhere different, of having to battle to achieve even the smallest thing.
Days spent at home tend to blur into each other, to flat-line with pure routine. Days spent travelling don't do that. They force you to open your eyes and take notice. There is no routine. There is no familiarity. Everything is bizarre and different and new. It's a time to embrace things you've never tried before, and to whoop with joy when you do it.
For every traveller, to be "without country" is to be without rules, without expectations, and without fear. That's something that deserves its own word.

Darren Till ready to take one step closer to UFC title shot when he takes on Donald Cerrone
Till hoping to make a huge statement in Poland - and move into UFC top 10

Darren Till believes that his fight with UFC veteran Donald Cerrone will put him on the map - and also one step closer to a welterweight title shot.
Till, 15-0, from Walton, has been rewarded for a blistering start to life in the UFC with a headline bout against one of the biggest names in MMA history when he takes on Cerrone on Saturday night in Gdansk, Poland.
The 24-year-old outclassed Serbian fighter Bojan Velickovic at UFC Fight Night 115 in September and immediately signed up for the bout with 43-fight veteran Cerrone.
A win will catapult Till into the top 10 in the UFC's welterweight division - and he's hoping it opens up some more big opportunities, perhaps even a place atop a card at the ECHO Arena.

He said: I'm excited. I'm just really looking forward to Saturday night now. It can't come quickly enough.
"I do respect him and I am a fan but come fight night it doesn't really matter. I just want to put my fist in his face. That's all I want to do.
"Saturday he is going to see my level. He hasn't shown any disrespect but Saturday he is going to see a level that he has never ever seen in his career before. That is true.
"I haven't got a doubt in my mind that he is going to try to take me down. He will not want to stand with a guy like me. I know that.
"This is THE fight. This is my fight. I've been training for 14 years for this. I have sacrificed so much for Saturday night. It's all on the line. It's do or die. Let's go in there and make a big statement."
Till remains unbeaten in his professional mixed martial arts career, having spent years training in Brazil and in Wavertree with Team Kaobon, establishing himself as a feared and dynamic striker.
His opponent Cerrone has fought some of MMA's biggest names, he has won numerous championships and is known for his exciting style of fighting.
Cerrone claimed he didn't know who Till was when he took the fight - something Till is promising to change.
He said: "I think he is already shocked with the amount of people commenting on his Facebook and Instagram supporting me. I think he is shocked by the support I have. And I am shocked myself. I love it all. I really do.
"There is going to be so many scousers out there. You don't understand it.
"It's all paying off. I can see the luxuries coming. The attention. It hasn't been from a few years of training, I have put my hard work in for years and year.
"I am only young but I have worked so hard to get to this point. I've given everything up. It's all paying off right now."
Till's first four UFC fights has seen him travel to Brazil, Ireland, Sweden and now Poland - but now he has his sights set on something much closer to home.
He said: "Let's get a UFC main event at the ECHO Arena and let's out a show on. Get me somebody in the top 10 that I can take out and that would be the most historical moment of my career.
"I am just going to put everyone in that welterweight division on notice. That's what I am definitely going to do.
"They need to worry about themselves and they need to worry about me and what I am coming to do."
Watch UFC FIGHT NIGHT®: COWBOY vs. TILL live on BT Sport from 8pm BST on Saturday October 21st or catch the Prelims exclusively on UFC Fight Pass from 4.30pm BST.

A Miniature Husky (a.ka Miniature Siberian Husky) is exactly what it sounds like, a smaller sized Siberian Husky than the normal ones you would normally find out there. Miniature Huskies first came to life around 20 years ago when someone chose to breed for the specific purpose of producing small sized Siberian Huskies, a process which ultimately proved to be a success.
If it weren't, there wouldn't be anything such as Miniature Huskies today.
Many people go absolutely bonkers for Siberian Huskies, but always wish they could bring home a tiny sized Siberian Husky instead of the normal sized ones you see all the time.
Well, if you're one of these people, your wish may just come true with a Miniature Husky!
When it comes to being recognized as a distinct breed of its own, the American Kennel Club doesn't recognize Miniature Huskies as such, because a Miniature Husky is the exact same dog as a Siberian Husky, except for the difference in size.
If you're wondering what the Miniature Husky dog exactly looks like, all you really have to do is imagine a smaller sized version of a typical adult Siberian Husky.
A Miniature Husky will have almost all the same physical characteristics that a normal Siberian Husky has, except for the fact that they are smaller in size.
On average, a healthy Miniature Husky will weigh anywhere between 30 to 40 pounds, which is anywhere between 10 to 25 pounds lighter than what a normal Siberian Husky would weigh on average.
Be wary of breeders who want to offer you a Miniature Husky that weighs significantly less than 35-40 pounds, as this is usually accompanied with many health risks the Miniature Husky may face in life.
As for its height, a Miniature Husky will stand (on average) anywhere between 14 to 17 inches tall.
For many people, especially first time dog owners, the smaller size the Miniature Husky has in comparison with a normal sized Siberian Husky helps them out a ton with such a new experience handling and taking care of a dog for the first time.
Similar to the way the Miniature Husky looks exactly like a normal Siberian Husky except for the smaller size, a Miniature Husky will have almost all the same personality traits that a normal Siberian Husky has.
A normal sized Siberian Husky will require a significant amount of exercise on a day to day basis, because this is just part of its nature, being a fairly athletic working dog and all.
Some purebreds require minimal amounts of exercise on a daily basis, while other purebred require a plethora of exercise on a daily basis, and the Siberian Husky falls under the latter category.
The good news is, though, that a Miniature Husky will require less amounts of exercise than a normal sized Siberian Husky because of its smaller size.
A general rule of thumb is that larger sized dogs require more exercise than smaller sized dogs, and this is exactly the case with Miniature Huskies.
But, this doesn't mean that a Miniature Husky owner can slack off on the amount of exercise they give this pooch!
They still need to get a decent amount of exercise on a daily basis, a whole lot of it in fact, just not as much as a normal sized Siberian Husky.
Siberian Huskies absolutely love to spend quality time with their owners and family members, and Miniature Huskies are absolutely no different.
Play time is eexceptionally important in improving the relationship between you and your Miniature Husky and developing the affection they hold towards you, so make sure you set aside time for that on a regular basis, and your Miniature Husky will pay you back for it in spades with all the loyalty and affection you could ever imagine.
Just like a normal sized Siberian Husky, the Miniature Husky is also a very smart dog, meaning you'll have a good time training one.
Let's not forget that Siberian Huskies are working dogs, and they wouldn't be given such tasks to complete if they didn't have the required intelligence levels to comply.
With the correct training methods coupled with consistency and patience, your Miniature Husky will learn what you want it to learn in no time.
And, don't forget the one practice that holds true for all dogs, purebreds and mixed breeds alike – the sooner on your start training them in life, the easier the results will be to come by, and vice versa.
However, you have to keep in mind that since Siberian Huskies are known for their shorter than average attention spans, you should ideally keep your Miniature Husky's training sessions short and sweet.
Make them more frequent if need be, but keep them short on time because the longer they are, the more you risk losing your Miniature Husky's attention.
Any Siberian Husky dog owner will know first hand how much these dogs love to dig their way out of specific places, for whatever reason that may be.
For this reason, it's especially important that you make sure you have something like a proper anti-digging system in place in your backyard, or else you're potentially going to face a tough time with this naughty fella.
The last thing you want to do is give a Miniature Husky another reason for them to dig, as they don't need one in the first place, so make sure you do your part to ensure they don't think about doing this.
The most important thing you can do to take their mind off of digging is giving your Miniature Husky ample amounts of exercise and play time, and supplying them with all the toys their heart desires so they can keep themselves occupied while you aren't capable of being right there with them for company.
And, make sure you have a proper and secure fence set up in your backyard, as Miniature Huskies love to try their luck in escaping from fenced yards, even if they were to "fall 1,000,000 times, get back up 1,000,0001". Literally.
Any health problems you should expect to maybe see in your Miniature Husky are the exact same health problems that larger sized, normal Siberian Huskies are prone to facing in their lives.
The average lifespan of a Miniature Husky dog is anywhere between 12 to 14 years, which is relatively on the higher side of dog lifespans.
If you're looking to add a dog to a household with young children in it, then a Miniature Husky may be a very good option for you to consider.
If you live in a small apartment and are worried about getting a Miniature Husky because you think the space is too small for them to live comfortably in, you're in for some good news.
Miniature Huskies don't need as big a space to comfortably live in as normal sized Huskies do, since they occupy less physical space and can move around more freely in tighter spaces as a result.
So, if you have an apartment and have been looking for the perfect dog to add to your life, the Miniature Husky may just be the dog you've been looking for!
And, for those of you who have larger spaced households with backyards, for example, a Miniature Husky will also perfectly fit in and enjoy life over there as well.
The point is, a Miniature Husky will do perfectly well in smaller spaces the same way they will do well in larger spaces, so you're good to go either way.
The ideal weather conditions for Miniature Huskies to live in are moderate to extreme cold climates, simply because they have been created to thrive in these exact weather conditions.
If you have a look at the Miniature Husky's coat, you'll notice it's a dense double-coat that keeps them warm even in the coldest of climates, but one that will make them feel uncomfortably warm in places where the temperature is often hot.
Other Pets – Yay Or Nay?
If you're worried about adding a Miniature Husky to a household where other pets reside, then don't worry, Miniature Huskies tend to fit right in, and very well in fact.
Before you know it, your Miniature Husky and other pets you have home will be the closest of friends that have a lot of fun with one another.
However, you have to make sure they have been properly socialized at first and know how to behave around other pets, as dogs that haven't been properly socialized usually don't know how to act around other pets, which usually spells trouble (especially when it comes to cats at home!).
We've already covered in a subsection above just how dense the coat of Miniature Huskies is, which means anyone who would like to add one of these dogs to their household and family will have to set a strict and very frequent brushing schedule.
Dogs with coats that are as dense as this need to be brushed many times a week, sometimes even more than once a day, or else you run the risk of having them shed excessively (which is something no dog owner looks forward to, unless you like to pick up after your dog's hair for whatever reason, then be my guest!).
When it comes to which breeder you're buying a Miniature Husky from, you have to be extremely careful with who you're buying from.
The breeding business market out there is absolutely filled with many unethical dog breeders nowadays, and it seems that ethical dog breeders are actually the minority nowadays, given how lucrative of a business model this has proven to be.
The reason we're issuing this warning to whoever is thinking about buying a Miniature Husky is that these unethical breeders will have dogs that look like Miniature Huskies and will market them to you in a way that will have you believe they are indeed Miniature Huskies.
However, in reality, these dogs weren't bred to have the true characteristics (especially personality wise) of the Miniature Husky.

Tigers, Gators expected to eat up SEC Conference
The College football season is just weeks away, and until the first game is played on August 30, You Wanna Bet will feature a preview of a different NCAA Football Conference each week. This week: the SEC.
The Southeastern Conference is considered by many to be the best in NCAA Football, so it would make sense that the conference's two divisions would be highly competitive. The SEC East and the SEC West are again expected to feature some of the most heated battles in the nation heading into the upcoming 2007 College Football season.
You can bet on the winners of NCAA Football divisions at Bet Online , which is offering a number of Football Futures wagers.
The SEC West has one of the best teams in the country, the LSU Tigers, who are also among the favorites to go all the way to the BCS National Championship game in January. The Tigers are a big favorite (-110) to win the division. LSU (11-2 overall last season, 6-2 SEC) returns 14 players from the team that tied for second in the SEC West last season.
Not to be outdone, the SEC East features the Florida Gators, the reigning national champions who beat the Ohio State Buckeyes 41-14 in the 2007 BCS National Championship. While the Gators may have a tough time shutting down offenses this season – they've lost nine players from last year's defense – they are still favored to win the SEC East (-110).

Q: Is it possible to encrypt the information in .env file (in Laravel)? Basically I want to secure the database connection and other AWS information. Below is the sample file for laravel .env
APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://localhost

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=null
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

A: It is possible now from Laravel 9.32 onward.
https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/44034#issue-1364610312

Running php artisan env:encrypt will look for a .env file at the root of the project, grab the contents of the file, encrypt it with a new key and save it as .env.encrypted.
The decryption key is displayed in the output of the command along with the cipher used and the path of the encrypted file.

The env:decrypt command decrypts the contents of the encrypted environment file and writes the output to the .env of the chosen environment.
A decryption key is required to run this command.
php artisan env:decrypt --key=h9kAPUmxdZ8ZbwT3

More options to encrypt and decrypt are mentioned in the issue link provided above.

A: Option 1. Use something like this (GitHub Laravel Encryptenv).
Your mileage may vary, as it's not exactly easy to maintain and setup.
Option 2. Cook a variation of the above (but a lot more simple). In your config/database.php file:
use Illuminate\Encryption\Encrypter;
$key = getenv('SECRETKEY');
$encrypter = new Encrypter($key, 'aes-128-cbc');

//...

'mysql' => [
//...
'password' => $encrypter->decrypt(env('DB_PASSWORD', '')),

Obviously, SECRETKEY is an environment variable holding the decryption key.
You may ask "Where would I get the decryption key SECRETKEY from?"
One option is to inject it via your web server, for example in your nginx config, within sites-enabled/001-yoursite.conf configuration:
location ~ \.php$ {
           set $script_filename $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
           set $configkey "";
           if ($script_filename = "/var/www/yoursitepath/html/public/index.php") {
                 set $configkey "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA";
           }

           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $script_filename;
           fastcgi_param CONFIGKEY $configkey;

where "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" is your AES-128-CBC key (has to be 16 characters). Feel free to switch to AES-256-CBC, if you want a larger key (and a bit more questionable security).
The above provides the key only to your Laravel index.php file. The reason for this restriction is that anyone that can create a PHP file in your webroot would be able to just print the value of the key, so your entire house of cards will collapse.
For the above to have any meaningful protection:

*

*You must restrict the nginx config file 001-yoursite.conf to be readable only by root.

*You must disable anyone from modifying index.php (chmod 440 index.php). If you allow regular system users to modify your index.php, they would be able to trivially print out your "secret key".

The above "encryption" protects only against stuff like shoulder-surfing attacks, and is by no means a replacement for proper security measures, such as careful configuration of your webroot, hardening, etc.
The above mainly works for scenarios where you need to make compliance beancounters happy.

FOSS is increasingly being used in business operations because it enables new software developments to be implemented at a faster pace and a lower cost than writing it in-house. FOSS gives businesses access to the latest software, which they can then use to enhance their own offerings.
While FOSS is free to use, this does not mean that users have no obligations. When the original developer makes their FOSS products available, they may choose to use a FOSS licence, which defines what can or cannot be done with the source code. For example, they may stipulate that anyone who modifies the software must make their modifications available for anyone else to use.
Companies using FOSS are subject to a variety of licence agreements. To maintain compliance and avoid liabilities, these licences must be managed in a structured manner. This requires policies and procedures, the identification of roles responsible for its management, as well as effective skills management and a training strategy.
Why is FOSS LICENCE COMPLIANCE Important?
FOSS licence compliance is an essential element of regulatory, legal and corporate compliance. Proof of FOSS compliance is increasingly a requirement for software vendors during the contract tender process. Failure to comply can also be very damaging for a business's reputation in the open source community.
FOSS compliance verification is therefore a critical factor for the sale of products that integrate FOSS, and for companies seeking to establish partnership-based collaboration. To prevent infringements of licensing agreements, businesses must establish a suitable process for guaranteeing and verifying compliance.

Spoiler What is The Crystal Empire to Celestia's Equestria?

So, what do you think the Crystal Empire is to Equestria. Is it a vassal state, an ally, or an independent nation altogether? Share your thoughts and maybe we can find a conscience on this even if the writers haven't decided yet.

Analyzing Creatures of Love - Reformed Changeling Lore & Headcanon with CDiscord!
~C. Discord~ posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
Artwork by the very talented Justasuta Introductions: Do you think my English teacher will let me use pony character analysis as a replacement for Shakespeare? Hello, folks. My name is NavelColt, also known by my old monicker, CD, C.Discord or ~Chaotic Discord~ if you're an OG boy from 13'. I am a fanfiction writer and lore analyst who's been in this glorious fandom since the near beginning, and I am here today to bring you my first proper, lengthy lore analysis since sometime in 2015. That analysis is for the changelings - specifically, the modern changelings. The fairy bugs, the rainbow buggos, the pastel beetles and their beetlemoose overlord. The changelings have been my focus of interest since season 6, when I was catapulted back into this fandom after my initial leave in late 2015. It started with Thorax's debut, a character who quickly rose to become my favorite character in the show, even dethroning Discord, himself. Since that time I have documented nearly 120,000 words in fan fiction, exploring the changelings, their lore, their day to day lives and Thorax's role as the changeling's new patriarch. What began as a few headcanon ideas has since expanded to an entire headcanon universe surrounding the modern hive. With the show now over, and no new canon content to be introduced, I felt it was time to sit down and actually put those ideas down on electronic paper. So please enjoy my headcanon universe for the modern changelings! If you find yourself intrigued, links to specific works will be found near the end. But first...a few points. Important Pointers: The MLP Comics are fantastic. However, I do not now nor have I ever considered the comics to be on the same plane of canon as the show, so everything here is crafted exclusively from the FIM cartoon. As a writer, reader and consumer of creative content in general I am someone who enjoys Slice of Life, closeness, feel-good stories and stories that focus on relationships between characters. If you're looking for a heart attacks and humor, you've come to the right place. If you're looking for adventure and excitement, she's in another castle. At the end of the day, these are just my interpretations. Feel free to see things differently! -- Key: Red Titles - Headcanon built off of pre-established canon Blue Titles - Pure headcanon, crafted in the spirit of the show's canon -- Backstory Tie-Ins: Thorax, a Source of Inspiration: "Evil? Oh, no, not me. All I've ever wanted was a friend." ~ Thorax, 'The Times They are a Changeling' Artwork by Cloureed From the moment 'The Times They are a Changeling' aired I knew Thorax was one of my newfound favorites. Thorax is the softest, most caring male character in this entire show. Not only is that a glorious stab in the face to gender stereotype norms, not only is it a perfect antithesis to Chrysalis - possibly the most ruthless villain to come out of this show - it is also part of what makes Thorax so enjoyable as a character. He seeks nothing but to help and protect those precious things around him, while he, himself is a precious thing in need of protecting. Thorax is like a modern, male spin on the trope Fluttershy's character was initially based on. This loving, caring changeling was then made the newly-crowned king of his species - a species scarred by a long, harsh rule under Chrysalis. A species he had never truly felt a part of, but could now nurture and care for. A home where he had never felt welcome could now be freely crafted into something that all changelings could enjoy. It was a redemption on a kingdom-sized scale, and it was a beautiful story waiting to happen. The King of Love Bugs was my very first changeling story. It ventured to show the ongoing, day-to-day process of the changelings rebuilding their hive, and working with Equestria's princesses to become a citizenship of Equestria. The story had one goal - to stay as canonical as possible, while building lore around the changeling's daily lives, newfound forms and magic. Most of all, it ventured to show the budding relationship between Thorax and his estranged kin. From Ruthless Queen to Paternal Patriarch: "Lately you and the other nymphs have made me feel more like a dad than a king. But, you know, I don't think they have to be so different." ~ Thorax, The King of Love Bugs, 'The Summit of Love' Artwork commissioned by me, and done by the very lovely Circus-Cinnamon Perhaps the most endearing concept surrounding Thorax becoming king is that he could now act as both a leader and father figure to the changelings, both the young and mature. What else would you expect from a cinnamon roll put in charge? Thorax had always wanted friends - presumably in the hive, at first, before he'd been pushed away by the state of Chrysalis's rule. Having the chance to not only make friends with other changelings for the first time, but to help other changelings make friends, themselves would be something he'd adore doing. The changelings denounced Chrysalis after discovering a better way to sustain themselves. They followed Thorax because they were ready to finally put themselves first, to become more than an extension of Chrysalis's will. This idea of sharing love, making connections with each other and sustaining themselves without the need to prey on others had become enticing, and Thorax was the greatest expert on the subject among their entire species. This is the basis for the relationship Thorax and his subjects would build. For adult drones Thorax became a voice of reason, a gentle, guiding hand and a willing friend. To the nymphs of the hive he became a playmate, a big, exciting jungle gym, and an attentive caretaker. The traits about Thorax once seen as weak in the old hive would now become advantageous in helping the hive grow, and helping the changelings adapt to a more peaceful lifestyle. * In 'To Change a Changeling', Thorax did just this by introducing a creative renaissance to the hive. Changelings were able to think for themselves, and discover hobbies and interests they'd likely never explored, before. He also introduced a space for changelings to communicate freely about their troubles. Though comedic on the surface, this approach speaks volumes to the kind of culture shock the changelings were working through, as they adapted to feeling and sharing emotions rather than feeding on them. Wholesome buggos, 'To Change a Changeling', S8 * Thorax's caring nature with his subjects can be seen in plethora via Ocellus - a nymph of no obvious relation to him, but whom Thorax has shown parent-like affection for on more than one occasion. Ocellus & Thorax, 'School Daze', S8 Ocellus & Thorax, 'Uprooted', S9 From Swarm to Pack - the Modern Hive Social Structure: "Why are you still here?" "Because I'm having trouble leading my pack, so I don't really wanna go home." ~ Ember & Thorax, 'Triple Threat' During Chrysalis's reign the hive operated autonomously as a singular unit, a hive mind. Individual drones did not have distinguishable features, and in nearly every appearance, changelings were presented in groups, moving and attacking as one. Very few times did we get to see changelings acting as individuals, other than Thorax. During this time, the changelings were referred to as a 'swarm' by Chrysalis and other characters. But following Thorax's ascension to the throne, things changed. Changelings were encouraged to pursue individuality. They were given the opportunity to explore unique interests and enjoy things that did not directly benefit the hive or its leader. Through Ocellus, we were shown that, like ponies and other species, changelings do in fact have unique parents, rather than being spawned in mass by a singular queen. Following this logic, it was safe to assume that the hive was a large community made up of smaller groups of families, all lead by a king/queen. The hive mind mentality and community structure of insects died with Chrysalis's status as queen. With Thorax's rise to power the hive took on a social structure more similar to pack animals. A tight-knit community that lives together, and whose members look out for each other, but is ultimately made up of smaller groups of families. The changelings had evolved socially just as much as they had physically. * The topic of whether Chrysalis is every changeling's mother is, and might always be up for interpretation. My stance is that the introduction of Ocellus's parents is proof that this concept is false. Changelings always had unique parents. Chrysalis forcefully collected all eggs birthed within the hive and had them raised together as a group of uniform warriors. In Chrysalis's hive, who you were born to or with was less important than the hive's strength. * Ocellus's parents were introduced in 'The Hearth's Warming Club', but were not titled as such until their appearance in 'A Horse Shoe-In'. Sharing Love - Modern Changeling Magic: "If my kind learned to create love for one another, maybe they wouldn't have to take it from others!" ~ Thorax, 'The Times They are a Changeling' Artwork commissioned by me, and done by the talented Underpable "After we transformed, we discovered something else," Thorax continued, looking around as the last of the group settled. With a glowing smile he rested his hoof on the head of a young changeling that had decided to curl up in front of his chest. "While long-term relationships sustain us from hunger, physical acts of affection and resting together rejuvenates our bodies from fatigue in the present." ~ 'An Elegant Discussion', The King of Love Bugs Love has evolved to be more than a food source for changelings. Like the Crystal Ponies, it has become an integral part of changeling culture, taking on a form of magic all its own. When a changeling is loved, be it through friendship, family or romance, they are eternally sustained from hunger. Though this process can occur with any sentient creature, when two (or more) changelings are each other's recipients, it creates an infinite circuit, a symbiotic relationship. Furthermore, when two or more changelings express love through affection, even simple gestures such as napping together or embracing each other, the bodies of all changelings involved are rapidly absolved of fatigue, physical pain and even minor injuries. The effectiveness of shared love magic is determined by three factors: time spent performing a loving gesture, proximity to loved ones, and the depth to which that changeling is loved. The exception to this rule is the hive's leader, Thorax, whose range of provided love magic is far wider than the average changeling. By merely being near his subjects, Thorax is able to restore their energy, regardless what he is doing. However, this process is still sped up through acts of affection and mutual rest. It is for this reason that Thorax created 'cluster naps', the concept of changelings sleeping in groups, rather than alone in individual bedhives. Perhaps the first major example of physical pack animal behavior in the new hive. Sharing Love in the Modern Hive, Reception and Adaptation: "Some changelings like the idea of communal energy restoration, while others think it's frivolous and degrading." "And others use it as an excuse to be lazy?" Twilight asked slyly. "Yeah, there are lazy changelings who try to use it as an excuse to sleep all the time," Thorax chuckled, rounding a bend in the corridor. "There are also changelings who get jealous when their friends share love with other changelings they don't know. And though I'm doing my best to curb it, there's still some bullying going on towards those changelings who enjoy communal resting. Trust me, if I'm not the one instigating it, even resting together can turn into a real mess." ~'Mornings are Never Easy, Twilight Sparkle', The King of Love Bugs Though Thorax was able to eventually convince the entire hive to accept the idea of sharing love, taking it a step further by physically spending more time together was a mixed response. During the hive's rebuilding, a massive internal chamber was built in the lower part of the hive, the part below ground. Thorax dubbed this 'the Nesting Chamber', and it would become not only the location where hive-wide cluster naps took place each night, but also a panic room of sorts, a secure place for the hive to commune in case of a large-scale threat. Thorax began to sleep here every night, along with every changeling in the hive who enjoyed the additional benefits of cluster naps. Those changelings against the concept of cluster naps remained in their individual bedhives, hollowed out holes along walls throughout the hive. Over time, as changelings grew more accustomed to spending time together, and growing as social creatures, cluster naps became more widespread. The nesting chamber is now a nightly routine for more than 80% of the hive, something Thorax couldn't be more ecstatic about. The Mental Effects of Metamorphosis & Pharynx's Relationship with Thorax: Flashes of past attempts to embrace his brother rapidly filled Thorax's head - the nightmares, fear and loneliness from his nymphhood, all met with a cold apathy. But as Thorax shed a tear down his brother's carapace, he could already feel the difference. No hoof pushed him away, and no disgusted tone reprimanded him. Without a word Pharynx had made him feel welcome - he was comfortable, and felt safe. The chamber, once ringing with a joyous laughter now echoed with an isolated sob. "P-Pharynx, I-I don't know what's changed with you but I'm, I'm so thankful for it," Thorax expressed, a tremble in his voice. ~ From Your Brother, with Love Artwork by my amazing friend and fellow bugbro fan, Rossmaniteanzu When a changeling undergoes metamorphosis, the very magic that allows them to consume and gain energy from love alters. It becomes a transmitter and receiver. The 'reformed' changeling is able to freely transfer love energy without conscious thought, and gains the ability to physically recover from concentrated doses of it. This is not, however, all there is to metamorphosis. By transforming and changing the very way their bodies handle love and other emotions, many changelings experience a moment of clarity upon transforming. The easiest way to describe this clarity is like stepping out of a several year long depression, and suddenly having levels of focus and patience you never thought were possible. It is a subtle, yet powerful effect. The greatest example of the phenomenon is with Pharynx. Prior to reformation, Thorax and Pharynx had a completely detached relationship. The bare extent to which Pharynx interacted with his brother was protecting him from bullies, or lightly bullying him, himself. Not long after Pharynx's metamorphosis, Thorax quickly found himself regularly interacting with an older brother that had, historically never given him the time of day. Though retaining his attitude, grumpiness and sarcasm, Pharynx's once ice cold demeanor has since thawed. The hive's guards can actually carry a half-way pleasant conversation with their captain now, and Thorax gets to revel in the joys of having a more attentive, albeit occasionally irritating big brother. * This clarity played a part in the alteration of the changeling's demeanors, going from ruthless hunters to artists, dancers and theatre performers seemingly overnight. It gave the changelings a clearer presence of mind to think about themselves, and what they wanted in life as individuals, rather than the wants and needs of warriors as part of a greater swarm. Love and Strength, Balance in the Modern Hive: "Thorax is way too touchy feely for the stricter aspects of ruling a hive," Pharynx went on. "He oversees the hive's social aspects, he resolves internal problems, and he helps look after the hive's young." ... "What Thorax lacks in toughness I make up for ten-fold. Since I...'evolved' or whatever, I've taken on all roles relating to hive defense, including training new recruits, overseeing patrol routes and maintaining the hive's grounds. But yeah, I'll also help Thorax with political tripe when he needs it, even if it's just talking him out of a panic attack every time he gets invited to a political event." ~ Pharynx, Mine is Dorkier Than Yours Another stellar artwork by Rossmaniteanzu Thorax's character was designed to be the antithesis of Chrysalis in every possible way. Where Chrysalis is self-absorbed, arrogant and manipulative, Thorax is kind, unassuming and naive in an innocent, almost childlike way. At a glance, Thorax is a far more desirable leader than Chrysalis, but his style of ruling is not without its problems. These problems came into play in, 'To Change a Changeling'. If Chrysalis is the far right then Thorax is the far left. The hive went from a group of alert, hardened warriors to utter pacifists who fell out of practice and couldn't even defend themselves. This is the basis for Pharynx's character. Just as Celestia and Luna each govern one of two important celestial bodies, together completing the night/day cycle, Pharynx completes Thorax by combining his loving nature and social wisdom with discipline, strength and pride in one's own strength. Pharynx reintroduced to the hive the only things Chrysalis had going for her entire rule, and those are security and strength. Alone, Thorax is no more efficient a ruler than Chrysalis, but together, Thorax and Pharynx are a better leadership than Chrysalis could ever be.

Who are the Young 6?
Cwanky posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
Season 8 has thus far been an exciting, if not controversial season for a variety of reasons, including the introduction of the antagonist Chancellor Neighsay. But we also have some other surprises including, Equally important however, is the introduction of the Young 6, a ragtag group of nonpony characters (along with Sandbar the Earth pony), who grow on each other and play a central role in Twilight's School of Friendship and are juxtaposed against Chancellor Neighsay, who doesn't trust them at all. In the past, through the film and episodes, we have heard and seen nonpony characters and their interactions, but they have rarely been the focus of the plot. Only recently since Season 6 have we begun seeing Changelings through Thorax, and dragons, through Ember start playing bigger roles. All this just scratches at the bigger picture however. We know what the Young 6 are (somewhat). But WHO are the Young 6? Well if we go by the hints we have been given, its not hard to see the picture the writers are presenting us: There's 6 friends and as we have seen, 6 is the Magic number in FiM. The Mane 6 and the Pillars of Old Equestria. And now we have the Young 6: At this point I am going off my own headcanon comparing the Young 6 to the past Elements of Harmony With Gallus, his personality strongly resembling Rainbow Dash's and his overall color scheme, I'm inclined to say he's an element of loyalty or courage. Beyond that he may be relative or close friend of Gilda based on what he's told RD. Silverstream is very bubbly, hyperactive and seems to maintain a positive attitude always. To me she's pretty much a hippogriff version of Pinkie and an element of laughter and joy, though as we have seen with Somnambula, this isn't always the case. Being the niece of the queen makes Silverstream's story even more potentially interesting. Ocellus very much seems to be a protege of Thorax. Both are very soft-spoken, conflict averse, and kind people, again like Fluttershy. This may just be something commonly found with the new Changelings though, as we've seen recently. I still say though that Ocellus is a strong candidate as the next element of kindness. Sandbar is the straight man, er pony, the odd guy out in the group. It's hard to say what role he will play, but I'd wager he will play a key role standing up against Chancellor Neighsay in the season finale. I won't say Sandbar is the leader of the Young 6, but based on his trust in his friends and the Mane 6, I'd say he's an element of friendship and trust (ironic since despite friendship being magic, Sandbar is an Earth pony ) Things get a bit hairier once we get to Yona. Her role is hard to define for me personally. She is very outspoken about Yakyakistan though, much like Applejack is about apples and her family, so I may imagine her being an element of honesty. Smolder is where things don't quite fit in. From all the Young 6 characters, I don't know much about her, except she behaves like a "typical dragon" and gets along with Gallus. She might be an element of loyalty or honesty, although a trait of dragons that stands out in the show is their "inherent greed and selfishness." We have of course, seen how Spike, and later Ember, contradict these stereotypes. Smolder will be having some interaction with Spike this season, so it may very well be that Smolder is an element of generosity in disguise, even if she shares little in common with Rarity, save a liking for gems . But again all of this is just my speculative headcanon on the Young 6. What do you folks think the Young 6, either as a group or individually will have as roles in the show, and perhaps influencing the future generation? Do you have any headcanons about the Young 6 yet?

Origin of Discord The Draconquus
Luna's Admirer posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
So I am wondering about the origin of Dicord, and his specie (Draconequus). What's your thoughts about this? How do you like to think Discord came into being? Share your thoughts and opinion whether they're canon, your headcanon, or even fanon (by this I mean Discord's origin which is explained by bronies or pegasisters in fanfics or art). Let's unveil the mystry behind our little draconquus.
Just what IS a draconequus?
Widdershins posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
That's a question that's been bothering me for a while now. As I have plans to make my own persona of one, there is very little to go on what a draconequus actually is. From what we've seen of Discord he is clearly one of, if not THE most powerful being on Equestria. But I get the feeling we can't entirely trust completely in what Discord says, as he does seem the sort to grant himself titles of godhood or reinvent his backstory frequently to suit his whims in a very Joker-esque fashion. Have heard rumors that one of the semi-cannon books mention something about a whole race Discord once belonged to. But I find that somewhat dubious as this world is already taxed just trying to contain just one Discord. My own headcannon is that draconequui are some sort of inorganic, inter-dimensional travelers not unlike the Planeswalkers of Magic the Gathering or the Q continuum that Discord was originally based on. Just that different dimensions have different rules of what counts as existence so a Draconequus has to keep replacing their body as they age eventually becoming a being of pure thought inhabiting a self-made chimera. Look forward to your turns of logic! -WDRSHNS

Why is Double Diamond portrayed as "gay"?
HorsesandMOARGaloar posted a topic in Sugarcube Corner
It is a common fan portrayal to depict that silly skiing white horse as if he is gay, and he tends to be shipped with either one of his friends: Party Favor, or Braeburn (less often). So, I am curious about what is it about Double Diamond that made fans depict him as a gay pony: is it that he looks as cute as Braeburn, or his light voice? I think it is funny to watch.
Scootaloo's Parents
GuyNamedEarl posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
Does anybody have any theories about Scootaloo and her parents? My theory is that Fluttershy had her and gave her up for adoption, which is why she can't fly. Rainbow Dash was the only other pony who knew about it, so she secretly takes care of her now as her big sister figure. What do you guys think?
[HEADCANNON] Just HOW STRONG is Pinkie's Party Cannon?
Vlazamal posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
In the IDW comics, Pinkie Pie has unveiled that she carries live ammunition for her party cannon. She has attempted to do that even NOT AS A VILLAIN, against Iron Will. Thankfully Rarity stopped her, otherwise he'd be dead! I decided to do a few hours of speculation as to consider how powerful her cannon 290mm deliverer of fun actually is! Conclusion: she could destroy any modern tank, as her cannon is about the strength of one found on a WW2 era battleship

It can be confirmed with it being mentioned in the show, one of the writers confirms it, observed in the show, or any way that shows that it is now canon.
Is Starlight Glimmer bipolar?
pnylvr posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
If she is, a switch from mania to depression at the end of TCRM would be a good explanation for why she decided to stop being evil in the course of a conversation, as well as her personality changes post-reformation.

G1 (n Friends) What do you think Megan, Danny, and Molly were doing, after G1?
HorsesandMOARGaloar posted a topic in Classic Generations
In the original MLP TV series, the farmgirl Megan (who was 12 years old) and her siblings, Danny and Molly, went on adventures saving Ponyland from villains. In consequent official MLP works, they were never seen again, except in one Equestria Girls comic where their names are mentioned in a leaflet (under Sunset Shimmer) as being associated with a room. In the context of daily life for people growing up through the 90's and into 2017, I wonder, how do you think Megan and her siblings would have lived to the present day (or even into the future), as they grew up after their adventures in Ponyland? The stories of their older lives, and those of their possible descendants, would be fascinating. Furthermore, how do you think they (or their future families) might have reacted to FiM and Equestria Girls, and its quirky fanbase?

----- posted a blog entry in Fluidty's Blog
[Warning: Bad English!!!] For months now, I wanted to write a fanfacion about Sunset Shimmer's past. But since I will probably never acutally write it because of...reasons, I decided to write at least my headcanons down, which would have been part of the story. Enjoy! :I Since Sunset mentioned that she has a family, but not a close realtion to them in the Equestria Girls Holiday Speacial (IDW comic), I think that her behavior portrayed in the first movie and "The Fall of Sunset Shimmer" was a result of her parents not carring about her and/or pushing her down as a filly. When Sunset came to the human world she lived on the streets before Principal Celestia took her in and later helped her to get a job and an own apartment. Principal Celestia took Sunset in, because she reminded her of Luna, who was a "rebel" when she was a teenager. (Since Nigmare Moon probably never happend in the human world, I think that is the closest thing to her we can get.) It was not Flash Sentry who taught Sunset how to play guitar, but Vice principal Luna during the time Sunset was living with Principal Celestia. The jacket Sunset was wearing in the first movie, was also the jacket Vice principal Luna has worn as a teenager. After Sunset moved in her apartment, the principals were still inviting her to dinner, but at time passed by the visits became less and less. Sunset used to play guitar when she needed to calm down or felt homesick. Flash became interested in Sunset because he heard her playing. Since Sunset was only using Flash due to popularity, she was only close to him during school time. In her free time and especially at the end of their relationship, she pretended often to be busy, so that she did not need to spent more time with him than necessary. (They were a couple for 2 to 3 months.) Because Sunset was never pure evil, she still felt at least a little bit bad for using Flash and during the realtionship with him she felt more uncomfortable than anything. Sunset knew where Twilight's room were and how her crown looked like, because she went through the portal already a few hours before during the same day. Sunset's plan of stealing Twilight's crown was never well thought through, but rather a rash reaction of her realizing that Princess Celestia had replaced her. After she stole the crown she had no idea what she was going to do with it. The plan of taking over Equestira was a result of her being corrupted by the crown and it was also not well thought through. Sunset had such a extrem personality change because she lost every she had built and because realized that became similar to her parents, something that she never wanted to become. Since it is confirmed that 1 moon = 1 month and that the portal opens every 30 moons (what would be 2,5 years), I think that Sunset lives in the human world for at least 5 to 7,5 years. The principals know that Sunset is a little bit older than the rest of the students. I also posted the whole thing on tumblr.

What ponies do you consider to be "star ponies", other than Twi and Celestia?
Like Yvaine, Coriakin, and Ramandu (from Stardust and Narnia) being people who are actually stars (like the ones in the night sky), sometimes I consider some ponies to be "stars in pony bodies", such as Sunset, STARlight, Twilight, and Trixie (for their names or apperances), and Double Diamond (for him being a very cute WHITE pony -- he might be bright enough to burn stuff!). May I know, which ponies do you consider to be more like "stars" than ponies, as in having some form of relation with the stars of the night sky, or actually being "fallen stars from the sky"? That is, other than Celestia and her student Twilight, who are overrated choices?
Do you think Starswirl could still be alive in some form?
Since both age and transformation spells exist, could Starswirl be in retirement somewhere, perhaps in some other form? Personally, I doubt it, but is it possible?

Do you think the Sirens are related to Discord?
pnylvr posted a topic in Equestria Girls
After all, their powers create small-d discord. Do you think there's a connection?
What ARE the Wonderbolts?
Most episodes portray them as something like a sports team, but occasionally (Secret of My Excess, Testing,Testing, 123), they're portrayed as more like a military unit. So which are they? I think they're primarily a sports team now, but they have a paramilitary contract with Canterlot that originated from when they were the EUP guard.
Mane Six History/Family Headcanon Discussion
Nom de Plume posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
So, does anyone have any interesting theories relating specifically to the Mane Six they're dying to share? Just general thoughts, across the seasons and generations alike. I figure Twi, Rarity and Rainbow are all children of minor noble houses, myself. They and the rest of the girls shot up through the ranks, though, due to their service to the crown. Now, they all technically hold large swaths of previously-unclaimed land Celestia had taken from noble houses that proved too incompetent to keep it. I might write a story on this idea later... Got a lot more to work through first, though. Anyways, how do you think their backgrounds play out? Everyone likes to explore Applejack's history (myself included) but we tend to neglect the other five as a fandom, from what I've seen. It'll be interesting to see what people have come up with.

"The Stars Will Aid in Her Escape"
--Thunder Bolt-- posted a topic in FiM Show Discussion
I just re-watched the S1 E1&E2, and I noticed something odd. In the prophecy about the return of Nightmare Moon, it is said that "the stars will aid in her escape." In the symbolism of the three main Princesses, Twilight is "the stars" (her cutie mark). Does she in some sense make it possible for Luna to escape the Moon? Or could the prophecy be more directly related to the end of the episode rather than the beginning? After Nightmare Moon gets blasted by the EoH DNA Rainbow, we next see Luna huddled amidst the fragments of her Nightmare Moon self. Instead of sending her to the Moon as Celestia's use of the Elements did, the M6's use under Twilight's aegis "breaks her out." Could there also be an element of retroactive causation, in which the zap from the EoH is also the force that breaks Luna out of the Moon?
Could Starswirl have been Celestia's consort? (Or Luna's?)
Is there anything in canon/B-canon (comics, Journal of the Two Sisters, etc.) that contradicts the idea? It seems odd that neither Celestia or Luna have ever been married, that we can see, and if any stallion were worthy of marrying an alicorn, it would be the greatest wizard in Equestrian history. Maybe he was the reason Celestia started the School for Gifted Unicorns in the first place.
Spoiler About the result of the season finale...
Two questions I have about the new changeling forms: 1) What do you call the new forms? Personally I like ColorChangelings or neo-changelings as new names, but I was wondering if anyone had a name for them. 2) Are the forms intended for a new toyline, Rainbow Power-style? They seem too garishly colored to be purely a stylistic choice.
Do the antagonists represent "Elements of Disharmony"?
It occurred to me that each of the season premiere/finale villains (not counting "Princess Twilight Sparkle or "The Crystalling", which don't have active villains in the same way) can be defined more or less as an opponent to one of the Elements of Harmony: Nightmare Moon: Selfishness, opposing Generosity Discord: Divisiveness, opposing Loyalty Chrysalis: Deception, opposing Honesty Sombra: Cruelty, opposing Kindness Tirek: Powerlessness, opposing Magic Starlight Glimmer: Insincerity, opposing Laughter. Obviously, some of these are stretches (e.g. what are the opposites of magic and laughter?), but is there any validity to this view of the world? Could having to deal with each of the antagonists be connected to a different aspect of their friendship?

Headcanons on the "Inspiration Manifestation" book
Here's my headcanon about that book's history. What's yours? I believe the book was created by Discord as one of his contingency plans should he be dethroned. We already saw one of his plans in "Princess Twilight Sparkle", and he probably had more than one. He seems to like complex plans. We also saw him increase in power when the CMC got into a chaotic fight in front of him. Yes, that was probably also because the EOH had been transferred to the Mane 6, but it's possible sufficient chaos surrounding him would have freed him anyway. Inspirarity's rampage was certainly chaotic in nature. I also believe Sombra was a victim of the book and an example of what the book makes its user if left unchecked. Both Sombra and Inspirarity were obsessed with shiny things (gold and jewels for Inspirarity, crystals for Sombra) and only appeared to care about themselves and their own power. Both Sombra's magic and the book's magic were referred to as dark (and note that Discord's chaos magic is literally dark, if Tirek's draining was any indication). Sombra seemed to have the power to create anything he wanted (the weird crystals, the giant staircases, the worst-nightmare door), and that last one makes me think he learned another spell (maybe more than one) from the book.

How would you make Flim and Flam more distinct from each other?
Flim and Flam seem to be identical, other than their names, Flam's moustache, and perhaps their voices. For the sake of anyone writing fanfics about or involving them, I would like to see your ideas on how you could make each brother more distinct. What hobbies, behaviours, and interests do you imagine each of the brothers to have? And which pony would be the leader, and which one will be the assistant? Where do you think they would live, if they do (or do not) have the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000? Please add in your own ideas!

What would happen if a Siren (in true form) has their gem removed or destroyed?
HorsesandMOARGaloar posted a topic in Equestria Girls
The results for the Dazzlings in "Rainbow Rocks" has already been shown, which they still live without their pendants, although their singing has became more poor as a result. But seeing that every Siren appears to have a gem on their torso, I wonder what would happen to a Siren (as a Siren, and not as a human like the Dazzlings are) if someone cuts it off, and/or destroyed it, would it harm or kill the Siren? Or would the removal or destruction of the gem on their chest affect them the say way it affected the human Siren Dazzlings? (Image by StacySolitude)

West Pollock Recreation Area | Oh, Ranger!
Anglers enjoy this recreation area as a prime location to stay when fishing for walleyes and an abundance of other Lake Oahe fish. The boat ramp provides easy access to the water. In the fall, pheasant, grouse, and waterfowl hunters come to camp. West Pollock is one of the South Dakota state parks along the Lewis and Clark Trail. The town of Pollock and the recreation area are both named after a pioneer lay minister and respected citizen of the area, R.Y. Pollock.
A boat ramp provides access to Lake Oahe.
There are 29 campsites, available on a first come, first-served basis.
With a license, visitors can catch walleye, smallmouth bass, white bass, northern pike, and perch. There is a fish cleaning station.
The park is open year-round, but is best suited for use during warmer months of the year because its primary attractions are fishing and boating. In the fall, pheasant, grouse, and waterfowl hunters come to camp.

Now that you've got the power distribution designed and set up for your event, you might think that you're done. But you can still run into problems if you don't establish some rules of the road - or the outlet strip - to ensure a problem-free event.
No UPSes - A UPS or Uninterruptible Power Supply is a big no-no at a LAN party. The reason is that not only does it consume power to run the attached computer and monitor, but it also consumes power to charge the battery. And on top of that, there is an additional power load over and above the equipment load - even if at full charge!
Don't ask me specifically what does this, but I have tested it with numerous top-tier brands and they all have similar results. You will be tapping the limits of your power gear to start with and don't need this additional load causing problems for others. As long as power is set up correctly to begin with, your attendees will have no problems and can live without battery backup for one weekend.
B.Y.O. Surge Protector - In the unlikely case of a power surge, it's always good to be protected at as many levels as possible. So I recommend that you require each gamer to bring his or her own local power distribution. The term I use for this gear is surge protector, but what I mean is a power strip that includes a circuit breaker (and hopefully some built-in surge protection) - as opposed to a bare-bones outlet strip that has just a cord and multiple outlets.
Having each participant provide their own surge protector is absolutely necessary if you are implementing the suggested power distribution scheme I previously outlined, since there is only one outlet provided per person. The circuit breaker on a surge protector should also keep problems local to each user instead of affecting everyone on the same table box breaker. And any built-in surge protection will help protect the user from other gamers' power problems.
No extra stuff - Many events are very strict about saying "only your computer and monitor" are allowed to be plugged into the Party's power grid. While it may seem harsh, having a stated rule removes any doubt as to whether extra devices are officially allowed to be plugged in. I remember a large Party where I was part of the staff that had to have a rule "no refrigerators, box fans or microwaves allowed" because we had people bringing everything and plugging it in - it was pretty insane!
The truth of the matter is that some people have reasonable needs beyond a computer and monitor such as an external hard drive, or cell phone charger. These are obviously not very big power draws and are probably reasonable to plug in, so you may want to modify the "only computer and monitor" rule accordingly. Another idea is to have gamers state any power requests beyond the stated rules when they check in.
I hope you've learned something about how to organize a smooth-running LAN party and get it powered properly. Part 2 of this How To will focus on the workings of the LAN Party network itself. I'll cover in depth types of Ethernet cabling and hardware, network design / topology, optimizing performance, and more!

This app will help you delete all empty folders and subfolders on your device. Also you can select folder to delete all empty folders and subfolders only inside of it.
Some of the new phones create a lot of folders for photos for example. The new Pixel Phones create new folder for every new Portrait Photo made with the default Google Camera. After deleting some of the portrait photos from the Photos app the folders stay on the phone (you can see them with simple file manager). This app will delete all of those old folders in a second.
And don't worry! This app will not delete folders that are not empty!
Deleting default folders on your device is not bad for the device. It will create all system folders again when necessary.

House business? It's building
By Larry Lough
City Council, housing, impact fees
INDEPENDENT PHOTO BY LARRY LOUGH | With prices starting at $95,000, the large-lot section of The Sanctuary of Bull Valley has 84 of the 211 available single-family building sites in Woodstock, according to an inventory by the city staff.
Is 50 percent cut in impact fees enough to spur new development?

I was compelled to write to the local CBC station during a recent discussion on using tax dollars to build a new hockey arena. The program is the afternoon drive show entitled 'The Homestretch'. Check it out.
Every day in clinic I see children with mild to severe visual impediments to learning and development. These affect how children perceive and interact with the world, including how they behave, learn, and feel. Currently there is no support at all for supportive care for affected families, aside from a pittance in insurance coverage for optical.
Vision is a serious issue, and families simply do not get the support they need. I as a doctor have access to only very limited services for supporting cases where vision problems are at the root of learning disabilities, attention problems, and others. Many times, families go without the care they need and the burden falls upon the healthcare and education systems which simply cannot manage visual impediments.
For a very small fraction of the cost of the proposed arena, we could arrange to check every child in the Province for many years to come, as well as offer real support to families that need and deserve it.
It's a wonder we're so blind to vision. Hockey arenas are great, but please let's set our priorities straight when it comes to limited tax dollars.
