Watching my xx rewatch of GO2 and noticed another tidbit/foreshadow. I'm rubbish at edits so I'll let you go back and rewatch but at 17:38 in epi 4 when Aziraphale does his coin trick he makes the grand statement that "the farthing has vanished!" Could have used any coin for the trick but didn't the English farthing have a wren/nightingale on it on it? Just throwing it out there😋
Warning! Major spoilers for The Homebrew Campaign One: Absurdism and a Millennium Abroad ahead.
I've been thinking about making this since listening to episode 117, so here we go. Transcript under the cut.
Episode 6:
Grant: And she looks at you, eye contact, Karl. She says,
Kellen: If you need to do spice now and then, I understand, you’re a kid. But that Wake, that will literally kill you.
Cody: I kinda look concerned at that and I,
Karl: Are you serious? That could ki—
Kellen: It will literally ki-ki-kill you. One hit of that stuff can kill you. It doesn’t take a bunch. And it’s highly addictive.
Tyrell: [laughing] You’ve seen Oliver shoot like fuckin’ four hits of that at once!
Grant: She gives you a little pill. And she says,
Kellen: Now I’m not condoning this type of behavior, but this is something that my daddy worked on, and if you ever get in serious trouble with that stuff, you pop this, okay?
Karl: Sure… I appreciate it. Thank you.
Episode 37:
Grant: I'm pretty sure Kellen made something that can help you sleep. Right?
Tyrell: I... think you are correct.
Grant: She made you something, she said you only get one, so keep that in mind. She said she's not gonna make you any more, but she did give you something that will help you sleep through it. So just remember that you have that.
Cody: Right, I have that in my inventory, this 'Addiction Pill' that you were referring to.
Grant: Will you remind me what that does?
Cody: I just have written in my inventory, "Cures all drug effects."
Grant: Wow. Okay.
Episode 38:
Grant: Karl, I imagine you stay with him, through this. And Xalduin, you said you were staying with him through this. When the TCX wears off, Oliver looks like he's dying. He is at five levels of exhaustion. He is unable to move; his speed is zero. Like, you have to check to make sure he's breathing.
Cody: Oh god, I freak out and I start running out.
Karl: Kellen! Mr. Goui! Someone! Get in here!
Austin: Yeah, do we actually know about the thing that Kellen made?
Oliver: [Starts coughing and wheezing throughout the rest of the clip]
Austin: Like, I don't know if Xalduin actually knows about that.
Grant, Cody & Tyrell: Karl has it.
Cody: Don't actually know how it works. Like an epi-pen, I think.
Grant: Yeah, so everyone that hears that—
Cody: Running with that in my hand, I'm like,
Karl: [stammering] Xalduin! I think this is— this is the thing! It's— they're taking forever. I—
Pippin: Goui races over when he hears.
Karl: Mr. Goui, help us.
Pippin: Mr. Goui's gonna check over Oliver. So he can see he's just, like, completely exhausted, obviously.
Cody: I hand you the syringe.
Karl: Where does it go? In his heart? In his... eye?
Goui: Part of me thinks we should've used this from the beginning if we were gonna use it.
Karl: Well, I thought he might be able to muscle through it. We only get one.
Oliver: [weakly] I'll be fine. I'm fine.
Karl: I don't think he's fine!
Pippin: Now Mr. Goui's gonna try helping alleviate Oliver's exhaustion, by casting Greater Restoration. At least one.
Grant: Yeah.
Episode 117:
Cody: Karl is panicking, seeing that that spell is not working.
Karl: Fuck! That was supposed to... Shit!
Cody: And he starts digging around. Digging through everything he's got. Ahh... Eventually he reaches into his pocket, in his cargo shorts. And he pulls out this pill bottle. That says 'Kellen' on the side of it. And he reaches in, and runs up to Oliver, and he says,
Karl: Oliver, take this pill right now.
Oliver: What's the point? I'm already gone.
Karl: Oliver, take this fucking pill right now.
Tyrell: Oliver will... open his hand.
Cody: I will give you the pill.
Karl: Take it! Quick!
Tyrell: And he, like, struggles. And tries to get his arm up to his mouth, and swallows the pill. Tears are just pouring down his face now.
Grant: Oliver's form resumes its normal size. The veins stop popping out of everywhere. His arms go back to their normal size. And he is looking around at each of you, but you can tell he's looking past you. And then, he goes limp. And then you, for a moment, think he might be gone. And then he opens his eyes again.
As the first person you ever helped together, Grandma Kellen comes through. The pill she gave Oliver so long ago. Stronger than anything Medicore or Xorus could have ever brewed.

Personality disorders and particularly antisocial personality disorders (APD) are quite frequent in opioid-dependent subjects. They show various personality traits: high neuroticism, high impulsivity, higher extraversion than the general population. Previous studies have reported that some but not all personality traits improved with treatment. In a previous study, we found a low rate of APD in a French population of opioid-dependent subjects. For this reason, we evaluated personality traits at intake and during maintenance treatment with methadone. Methods - The form A of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) was given to opioid addicts at intake and after 6 and 12 months of methadone treatment. Results - 134 subjects (96 males and 38 females) took the test at intake, 60 completed 12 months of treatment. After 12 months, the EPI Neuroticism (N) and the Extraversion-introversion (E) scale scores decreased significantly. The N score improved in the first 6 months, while the E score improved only during the second 6 months of treatment. Compared to a reference group of French normal controls, male and female opioid addicts showed high N and E scores. Demographic data and EPI scores of patients who stayed in treatment for 12 months did not differ significantly from those of dropouts (n=23). Patients with a history of suicide attempts (SA) started to use heroin at an earlier age and they showed a higher E score and a tendency for a higher N score at intake. Discussion - The two personality dimensions of the EPI changed during MMT, and the N score converged towards the score of normal controls. Opioid addicts differ from normal controls mostly in their N score. The EPI did not help to differentiate 12-month completers from dropouts. Higher E scores in patients with an SA history might reflect a higher impulsivity, which has been linked to suicidality in other patient groups.
PROTEÇÃO Prefeitura realiza Semana Interna de Prevenção de Acidentes de Trabalho
Ações relacionadas à NR 38 serão implementadas já no próximo ano
A Secretaria Municipal de Saneamento e Serviços Básicos (Semusb) realiza nesta quarta e quinta-feira (22 e 23) a Semana Interna de Prevenção de Acidentes de Trabalho (Sipat), com objetivo de proporcionar mais segurança aos servidores, com foco na NR 38. O local do evento é a sede social do Sindeprof, à rua Pastor Messias Barbosa, bairro Tiradentes, zona Leste, das 8h às 12h.
“Como essas ações estão diretamente ligadas às atividades da Semusb e à norma (NR 38), que passa a valer em 2024, essa atividade de prevenção de acidentes vai focar nos pré-requisitos, estruturas e procedimentos necessários para serem adotados e implantados nas ações da secretaria já no próximo ano, quando a norma entra em vigor”, explicou o titular da pasta, Cleberson Pacheco.
O secretário disse que a NR 38 é uma Norma Regulamentadora da ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas) que regulamenta e normatiza os procedimentos de segurança a serem adotados para os trabalhos de limpeza urbana (limpeza pública) e coleta de resíduos.
Conforme a legislação, a Sipat deve acontecer em locais com mais de 100 funcionários (colaboradores ou servidores). Ela está sendo organizada pela Comissão Interna de Prevenção de Acidentes (Cipa), que está saindo em conjunto com a nova comissão, que inicia as suas funções a partir de agora até o final de 2024.
O evento vai acontecer nos dois dias pela manhã, já que os servidores precisam atuar na limpeza da cidade. No primeiro dia serão priorizadas as palestras. No segundo, serão formados grupos para trabalhar as necessidades da implantação da norma nas atividades da Semusb.
CRONOGRAMA
Nosso objetivo é sair da Sipat com um cronograma de atividades para 2024, que vai abranger desde os novos implementos, equipamentos de proteção individual (EPIs) e capacitações para operador de motosserra, retroescavadeira, tatuzão, varredeira”, comentou.
Ao final da Sipat também haverá demonstração e entrega de EPIs aos servidores que trabalham em campo para manter a cidade sempre limpa.
CONQUISTAS
O secretário acrescentou que nesse curto período à frente da Semusb, já foram adquiridos mais de R$ 500 mil em EPIs, investidos cerca de R$ 900 mil na aquisição de novos equipamentos (duas retroescavadeiras novas), o pátio da secretaria está sendo todo asfaltado, mais de R$ 70 mil foram investidos em equipamentos para oficina e borracharia, além da reforma e climatização do refeitório, dando mais conforto aos servidores.
“A secretaria já prepara estruturas que possibilitam o exercício das atividades de forma mais segura e mais confortável para os servidores no ano de 2024. Todas são ações que iniciaram nessa nova gestão”, completou Cleberson Pacheco.

4th Jan 2023 - This was it, the dreaded day was here. To be honest I thought I’d be feeling a whole lot crappier than I did, but for some reason all I felt was a weird level of peace and calmness. Really didn’t know what to expect at all and the long long wait didn’t make it any better. The time prior to starting the procedure (we checked in at about 430pm), Ivan and I had only started talking about how we wanted to send baby E off. On hindsight it feels so weird to be talking about all these things that we obviously had no experience in. Who do we contact and how? What did we need to do? We eventually googled and found a funeral company that had experience handling the death of babies and decided to let them cremate baby E and scatter his ashes back into the ocean. We decided we didn’t need a niche to remember him, because how could we ever ever forget. I remember Ivan and I talking through about what was to come and praying together, tearing up in between and coming to acceptance that today was the day we were gonna say goodbye. Doctors and nurses came in to set plug and check on me, to explain the procedure. It was basically going to be an induced labour as baby was at 21 weeks and was formed, with medication inserted every 3 hourly until baby is delivered. At 8pm they finally start the first dose of medication. I didn’t know what to expect but the cramps started getting worse, the chills and shivering came for a good 20-30 mins before it finally stopped. 11pm - Dose 2, cramps got worse and chills and shivering came back, with fever at 38 degrees.
5th Jan 2023- Towards late 1am, cramps got super super bad it felt like death. I knew I had to ask for painkillers so got jabbed in the butt and went to the toilet to pee cuz i had been drinking water. As i went to the toilet I felt a pressure weigh down below and it felt like perhaps baby was coming out, went back out at the nurse confirmed that Baby E’s head was visible. The whole delivery started and it was just like a normal delivery without the epi. After much pushing baby E finally was delivered and thankfully the placenta was out as well. The pain also slowly went away. Time of death, 2:05 am at 21 weeks + 3 days. Didn’t really know what to feel at the point in time but just felt so exhausted and slept. Sometime at 5/6am in the morning, Baby E was wheeled into our room in a box all dressed up in an angel gown sewn by an organisation called angel hearts who upcycle donated wedding gowns to sew clothings for angel babies. Baby E even had a little bow tie. Baby E fit almost the size of an adult shoebox and i was most amazed by his little feet and hands that were so small and intricate. Ivan and I spent time to pray with Baby E while he was here and said our last goodbyes before he was sent to mortuary to wait for the funeral peeps to come for him later that afternoon.
The nurses gave us a little envelope that had Baby E’s hand and footprints that we requested for. It also had a little angel gowns charm that was a pair with the one that was attached to his gown, so that we’ll have another piece of something that belonged to this short lived relationship to remember Baby E by.

Veterinary reference laboratory Market Summary Comprises Key Regions, Growth And Segmentation Till 2031
Market Overview
The global veterinary reference laboratory market was valued at USD 3.2 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to USD 9.8 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period.
Veterinary reference laboratory play an important role in animal health protection by preventing and controlling serious epi zoonotic disease. It is a institution where several critical function related to veterinary sciences including prevention diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of animal health are undertaken. Also they have major implications on human due to the animal to human transmission of diseases including plague, rabies, listeriosis and query fever.
The number of companion animals has dramatically expanded over time, including dogs and cats. 85 million US households, or 67 percent, have pets, according to the American Pet Products Association’s (APPA) National Pet Owners Survey 2019-2020. Additionally, 38 percent of homes (88 million) in Europe owned pets in 2020, according to the European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF). While the number of cats increased from 74.05 million in 2017 to 94.2 million in 2019, the number of dogs in the US increased from 69.9 million in 2017 to 89.7 million in 2019. PETS International estimates that Brazil has 54.2 million dogs, 39.8 million birds, 23.9 million cats, 19.1 million fish, and roughly 2.3 million small animals as pets in 2018. Similarly, as of 2019, India reported 20 million dogs and 19 million other domestic pets. Every year, approximately 600,000 pets are adopted in India. Hence, high adoption rate of companion animals in the urban population, rising rapid urbanization has contributed to rising per capita expenditure on animal health. Also increasing awareness of animal health, is propelling market growth.
A large companion animal population exists in emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, and some Southeast Asian countries. However, when compared to developed countries in North America and Europe, animal health expenditure in these countries is relatively low. This is primarily due to a lack of awareness among pet owners and veterinarians about animal healthcare services. These countries’ companion animal health expenditure is solely focused on therapeutic treatments; diagnostic technologies are not widely used in these countries due to their high cost.
