It’s been a good time. Not that you’d ever doubted it would be; as poor of a salesman as Emké may be, you knew if they spoke highly of something, it was no small compliment— and beyond whatever groaning the adherent may have made over the fuss and pageantry, they’d had warm words for the closing celebrations. Good food, good music. She’d promised plainly, and sure enough, the plaza is full with the intoxicating scents of fresh local delicacies, woks sizzling hot over open flames, their crackles and pops marrying with the melody off guitars, marimba, brass instruments and voices; all brought together in joyful noise. Groups gather around the fringes, chatting gleefully, pausing for quick prayers at little hand-made shrines, accompanied by the typical offerings and occasional incense burner, children wave sparklers about, but the main crop of the square is left open, of course, for dancing.

A mix of pre-designed performances and cultural dances that anyone and everyone can join in on, you catch the end of a solo performer’s stint just as the song she’d choreographed draws to a close— a pretty thing with long dark hair neatly pinned into a fancy set of buns, the large rings on her arms clinking as she bows, the scarves which hang off them swaying as she skims the crowd with her eyes and spares a little wink; possibly at you, but just as likely at any other on-looker at your sides and back. A good showing, she deserved the applause she’d received, but did not bask in it long. She clears out as the next thread of rhythm begins, and many voices quiet, distracted glances turning to follow the figure which moves through to the center.

You’ve always thought the adherent didn’t look quite at home without her armor; her vambraces and greaves as much a part of her as the sandy, windswept hair and mismatched eyes; but at least she looks more comfortable now than she had mid-parade, swaddled in heavy ceremonial robes and half-forcing a smile. By comparison, their mild expression now is a hundred fold more genuine, even if they roll their eyes when your gazes meet, (you’re sure they might’ve shrugged a bit, too: yeah, yeah, I know). But they’re all soft smile and grace as one arm outstretches to invite their partner from the sidelines, an unfamiliar Beralan stepping up to the vestal’s side (looking a touch too excited; you’ll remember to tease them about that later), before they both face each other, and bow.

Then, the dance begins.

The music jumps to life with all the merriness which had stirred moments ago, and the pair finds the rhythm with ease, carefully timed twists, high knees, and kicks, with claps on the beat between turns. It is joyous; and it’s the kind of thing which you could scarcely wear any less than a bright smile in the midst of— hence the unusual brightness in Emké’s features as she maneuvers ‘round her partner, before they both fan out their arms and step back, inviting the immediate onslaught of dancers looking to join; everyone linking hands into a broad circle which side-steps and kicks around the open plaza. It’s a gambol from the very heart of their region; a routine everyone would be taught from whence they were children, to be repeated at festivals, balls, and all manner of celebrations to come. Not so different, you think, than those native to your own homeland, but with a Qasmean flair that could not be overlooked.

You could not know all the steps, all the intricate details; especially as the circle separates again into partners, and everyone moves with such confidence. This was not your home, these were not your people. You could watch with excitement and mirth, applauding your companion and basking in the revelry of the moment, but it would all be unfamiliar to you. It should be.

But you find your body does know.

It is all new to you, but it isn’t. You find yourself following the motions with the unmistakable taste of nostalgia at the back of your tongue, you know where their feet will fall before they land, you anticipate the next change of partner moments before it arrives, and seemingly cannot stop yourself from falling into the mix— full of the giddiness of joyful memories when you should have none to claim.

You move as if it were the most natural cycle for your limbs to travel. With all the practiced ease of the native Beralans who’d danced this dance since they were able to balance on two feet, with such divine clarity, as if the overwhelming cacophony on the senses— the aromas, the sounds, the heat of bodies and the breeze— they may as well not have been there at all, spinning through the circuit of partners and back into the circle, you dance and laugh, overwhelmed with delight you’re growing sure is not your own.

Confirmed, of course, when the next change of partners comes, and you find your partner quirking their brow at you, clearly surprised at how effortlessly you fell in with their festivities, but not missing a single beat as they raise their hand to yours and move through the motions— momentary bewilderment quickly melting back into the glee they’d worn before. That look was the whole point; and you can feel a smile burning deep in your chest leagues brighter than the one on your own features.

Forgive me, you think she’s said, though the voice at the edge of your mind is anything but repentant. But I could never just stand by and miss a chance to dance with her.

---------------------------------

You knew from the start it was going to be a good time, no, better than that. From the moment the adherent invited you, you knew you’d find yourself all the trouble and enjoyment you desired. Celebrations and festivities are something you latch onto. They’re usually alien and unfamiliar to someone of your ilk, sure, but there’s an ability to forget who you are and what you were during times like this. To shed the burden of your history and embrace that exact present. That precise moment. The people around you find ways to do the same and to celebrate abundance and existence. The taste and smell of it is absolutely intoxicating. The merriment is magnetic. This isn’t your home, but it feels like a place you could call one.

You’ve enjoyed several days worth of happiness and laughter during a single day of festivity. New foods and new people, bonding moments that yes, may be fleeting but you will remember fondly in the future and ponder some what ifs as a treat on warmer nights. You’ve challenged yourself to games you had no inkling of how to play, embraced the many failures just as hard as your first victory against the children teaching you to play while the other adults watch on. Your chest is full of life. Your heart is just a little less cracked among these families.

They welcome you almost as enthusiastically as they welcome your partner. But perhaps it is unfair to compare? The one you know and the one they do aren’t so different after all.

Time isn’t real. It’s something you often think about during your life. Used as a detraction from your choices as a child just as much as a way to embrace your possibilities in the future. Everything is what you make of it. Alas, as much as you want to spend another compressed week of time in these moments the day does drag on. The sun is as real as the moon and the stars. The crackling of fires to illuminate the closing festivities wishing it could bring the amount of warmth that the performers could to everyone’s hearts.

You do watch from the sidelines as you make your way to the center of the festival, this being one of the events you just knew you had to witness for yourself. Dancing is something you picked up as part of etiquette when you trained as a paladin. But as a trait it’s something you evolved into its own unique thing, sampling and taking from your life experiences and everything you cross paths with adding another thought and step. Today could be a dance all on its own.

It would be nice if that young lady’s wink had been directed at you, wouldn’t it? Your foreign appearance and rugged looks are something you believe should be well fancied. Already you welcomed many a flirtation only to fleet away like the devious spirit you are during these festivities. There was far too much to see. Far too much to experience. Just as you can’t fight with just one person in a bar brawl, who would you be to settle with just a single maiden?

Everything about the way Emkè makes her entrance is enough to make you smile three times over. The grace with which she moves, the garb that she wears, the way she takes in the presence she commands. It’s so unnatural from the person that you’ve come to know so well over these years. And yet natural. You’ll embrace these surprises just as you’ll embrace whatever future being around her brings. But you will absolutely not let her live down the sheer excitement her first partner gives on the invitation.

And a familiar smile in the depths of your being seems to have a similar thought. You’ve felt this before, little peeks and glances of a fluttering as you wandered and traveled the offerings of the festival through the day. But now the butterfly has landed, and just as you watch the dance unfold so too does the spirit.

You’d wanted to join in the moment it started, your eyes watch and your ears listen to the sights and sounds as you pull up the rhythm. Your arms and legs, however, act before you know you’re anywhere near ready. An exuberant partner taken by your hand. You move automatically and feel automatically. Any sense of fear over what is transpiring is more than easily masked by the shared exhilaration of the dance. The warmth of this spirit is a familiar one, and one that you know you can trust just as deep as your partner’s.

The sense of anticipation finally breaks as your hands eagerly take the adherent as your next dance partner, and you wish you could stop smiling long enough to show Emkè that you’re just about as surprised about all this as she is. You’re caught in a wave, however, and this tide was carrying you through to whatever end came. It’d make a funny campfire story, if you opted to tell her. But something about the moments you share with her feel like something to be kept to yourself.

The warmth that fills you as you gaze at Emkè during the flurry of steps is just as unnatural yet embraced as these other sensations. There’s an appreciation for who you’re looking at that goes deeper than anything you’d felt for her before. The spirit within you sees the same powerful woman, a castle of fortitude and strength and compassion. Yet nobody notices the details like she does. You both see a wall, but she loves the moss. She loves the cracks and the life that blooms within each crevice of the stonework. She loves the grass and the soil that comforts its foundation. She loves the wind that cools and gently blows the flowers in the gardens. She loves. She loves. She loves. And for that moment, while you share your body with the spirit, you love too. Unconditionally.

As the next change of partners comes and you release the adherent’s hand you flash a smile much more characteristic of yourself, a toothy grin and a playful flourish of your hand equally uncharacteristic of the dance.

“It was all my pleasure.” You say. To Emkè, to Breala, to this city, and to yourself.

Disco Elysium (Review)

Gameplay (8/10) Monsters out, dialogues in

(+2) Innovative take on the RPG genre. The gameplay, skill tree, and level progression of DE is a very fresh take on the classic RPG formula. Instead of traditional combat where you reduce an enemy’s hit points to 0, you need to pass skill checks that are based on your invested skill levels. Instead of gaining exp and leveling up by fighting monsters in an action RPG, you converse with the citizens of Martinaise and interact with the objects scattered around the district. You gain skillpoints when you level up and you invest them in different areas in order to represent what kind of detective you want Harry to portray: The thinker, the psychic, the muscle, or the specialist. It doesn’t play like your standard RPG, but it is built on the same foundations of character customization (you can even dress up Harry in whatever way you want.)

(+1) Failure is part of the game. To my knowledge, you’re not gonna be able to max out all skills so you have to focus on one area of expertise and leave out the rest. If you play as a logic-based detective you’ll probably be on the bottom end when it comes to physical prowess and hence fail a lot of the physical-based tasks. This however doesn’t necessarily mean a game over, as the game gives you many avenues to tackle a problem, some even require you to fail to get the more desirable outcome.

(=) There’s a lot of reading. A LOT. Disco Elysium is basically a more interactive version of a visual novel so 90% of the gameplay would be reading the many dialogues thrown your way. It’s the core gameplay loop of DE and the extensive amount of reading might turn people off or bore the people already playing it, while enticing the hardcore readers to get into it more.

Story (8/10) A journey of redemption or downward spiral

(+2) Decide Harry’s fate. You hold in your hands how Harry will deal with his situation. Will he become sober or stay an alcoholic? Will he solve the case or fail horribly? Will he do drugs or remain clean? Will you sleep in the inn or out on the street? Will you even remember your own name or how you look like or will it disappear into oblivion? All these different options mean that every playthrough of DE will be a unique experience depending on how you built Harry and the choices you make during interactions. If you’re not careful (or if you’re just purposefully diabolical), Harry may meet one of the game’s many game over screens depicted as newspaper headlines, or you may not see one at all throughout your playthrough if you’re really careful.

(+1) Lieutenant Kitsuragi. Enough said. The straight man to your crazy antics, Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi is the down-to-earth partner you need to keep you grounded when your mind floats to strange dimensions. He almost feels like a character being played by another player online. He is patient and understanding when it comes to dealing with Harry’s personal problems, but also knows when to be strict when Harry is going too far with his unorthodox methods.

(+1) Intricate world-building. The world is wonderfully laid out to the player through dialogues and environment design. You can see the extensive damage Martinaise has sustained and you can realize that it was a previous warzone even without asking any of the townsfolk. Conversations with different people reveal all the political struggles Martinaise underwent and the world beyond and how the pale is consuming everything. You can choose to know more about the world at large or just let it slip by you and go on with your investigation. Regardless of which you choose, you’ll still come across very obvious signs of political unrest, corruption, drug trade, and general poverty all over the district which tells you that this is not just the generic town littered with NPCs and interactions, this is a town inhabited and shaped by the people living in it.

(=) Heavy political undertones. As mentioned in the previous statement, there’s a lot of political unrest going on in Martinaise aside from the Union’s strike. If you’re like me and don’t care that much about heavy political jargon, you might find this piece of the game quite undesirable. Nevertheless, you can choose to opt out of most political conversations and avoid all the confusing words they throw around here and there.

(-1) Underwhelming resolution. The ending was very lackluster to say the least. It all culminates in a final showdown with your police investigation unit where you present everything you’ve done throughout the game and depending on how you acted Lieutenant Kitsuragi will vouch for your actions. There’s no resolution as the game just ends after the conversation without knowing how it all went down for the characters after they’ve reported the case to their respective superiors. Not even a cliffhanger hint of a sequel. Arguably, this might tie into one of the game’s themes of not having closure but as a player it didn’t leave the best impression on me.

Visuals (9/10) Flamboyantly grotesque

(+3) Magnificent artwork. The crowning glory of Disco Elysium is the artwork. The drab watercolor-like aesthetic of the game reflects the game’s colorful and creative world plastered with grim filters of reality. It’s something that I think cannot be achieved by going for a hyperrealistic look where things appear as close as possible to real life counterparts, but rather through the lens of a rough and distorted perspective of an alcoholic detective with an abundance of internal struggles. It reminds you that there’s beauty in destruction, and destruction in beauty; as alluded to by one of the quotes found in-game. On top of that, the portraits for the thoughts are overwhelming in a mesmerizing way. Similar to how you just can’t understand what’s going on in an intricate stained glass art, or the thick black strokes of the inkwork on a tarot card, there’s just so much going on and it’s a lot to take in but you still get captivated by the imagery. You can take any still from any moment in the game and present it as a renaissance painting and I’d believe you just because the game’s artwork is that wonderfully made. Truly a testament to the talent of this generation’s artists.

(+1) War-torn Martinaise. This district has lots of stories to tell without even having a mouth to speak. The way Martinaise is presented is very organic. You can still see bullet holes and mortar damage from the war fought over the district many years ago, old arcade machines from a forgotten time litter the establishments, entire buildings with abandoned equipment of their former establishments, and repurposed infrastructures. This wasn’t just built as a place the player has to explore during their playthrough, this was a place with history and has lived way before the player step foot within its bounds.

Audio (7/10) It’s all in the voice

(+2) Superb voice acting. The voice acting gives life to the characters in Martinaise and it comes in all shapes and sizes. Every character has at least one voiced line so you can have an idea of how they sound like. Some of the more important characters have more than one voiced line, which reiterates their importance in the overall narrative. The character’s personalities and idiosyncrasies come alive in the voice acting, from the way they say certain words and their inflections, letting you know that Martinaise is home to more than one group of people as a result of the district’s history.

Final Score (8) Excellent This is Disco, baby

Disco Elysium is more than just a game, it is art first, a visual novel second, and an RPG third. The game accomplishes something more than to entertain you for the few hours you’ll pick it up. It also attempts to educate you on political discourse and warn you on the adverse effects of drug and alcohol abuse, all while being enveloped by the game’s captivating art style. You’ll find yourself appreciating the scenery more than a few times while you scour Martinaise looking for any sort of lead that’ll help you with your case.

(1-2) Terrible (3-4) Bad (5) Average (6-7) Good (8-9) Excellent (10) Masterpiece

Critcal Reflection

In this critical reflection of my work I will be focusing on Heterotopias as a concept, and where my research into them lead me with my final illustration. Throughout the second semester of this year-long topic, I have explored places, artists, storyboarding and my own ideas using a vague and interesting stimulus.

Heterotopias are locations which are embedded in aspects and stages of our lives and which in some way mirror and at the same time distort or unsettle or invert other spaces. Put simply a normal location rooted in reality which can be seen as a distortion of reality. This usually involves typical and atypical characteristics clashing within a single space. For example, my first heterotopia used for this module was a space station. Despite being surrounded by human technologies, the unknown environment of space changes the context of everything and shows a distortion of the indoor setting. Heterotopias can be sorted into different types, summarised into six different principles by the philosophical researcher Michel Foucault. The concept my heterotopia of this semester encapsulates most however, is that it ‘Encapsulates spatio-temporal discontinuities or intensities’. This is due to the structure of the overall city and how it functioned. Many things which should have been separate such as businesses, homes and advertisements where forced into the same location due to lack of space. That or aspects such as streets, signs and homes where packed beyond the normal limit within the typical amount of space. A normal seeming city was distorted to accommodate its huge population, giving it heterotopic features.

The heterotopia I chose to research and re-create was the now demolished but well documented walled city in Kowloon Hong Kong. The city stood for around 50 years before being demolished in 1994 by the Chinese government. Before then it stood as a safe haven for dangerous gangs and hosted many unlicensed medical practices, especially dentistry. The city despite having a police force was dangerous and fairly lawless, as the poor squatters which continuously moved in made makeshift homes on the roofs of other homes, which continuously stacked up creating dangerously high buildings. Most citizens however enjoyed living within the walled city, as those who could not normally practice medically with their licences in Hong Kong due to certain restrictions, were able to work. I believe the walled city of Kowloon is a heterotopia as it’s a city disconnected from everything around it operating using its rules and regulations, which distorted a highly urbanised city into an almost dystopian context.

The mood board I created for the city is a collection of images mainly demonstrating the dense population and structure of the building in the city. I used mainly real photographs with few drawings to illustrate the aesthetic and tone of the city. The mood board is oversaturated with images closing the text in-between to help conveys the hectic, overwhelming and oppressive feeling of the city. Collecting the images I needed made me realise how well documented the city was. Various photographers kept extensive portfolios depicting the city, and even multiple accounts of video footage showing locations and citizens exist.

The main idea for using the city as a heterotopia was to depict the city in a mostly negative light, highlighting the problems of an inconsistently modernised city which retains slum like aspects. My original storyboard ideas showed various shots a people, from various places in the city. I wanted to show how the city was perceived by different types of people from regular citizens to children, business owners and more. After I received feedback from presenting my ideas, I realised I needed to keep my focus on the location and focus less on the people and use them as more like accessories to the city environments which can help tell the story. I decide that instead of creating one image in aftereffects going horizontally across the city, I should change the image so that it pans vertically. By doing this I could emphasise the height of the city buildings, and still conveying the feeling of being small I wanted to get across with the characters with other shots. Working vertically at for example, street level for the whole animation would limit the scope in which the city would be perceived by the audience. I chose to pan downward starting at a clear sky before showing how the screen eventually becomes more and more filled and hectic. Starting with a few wires coming across the shot from the roofs until eventually its filled with advertisements and crowds.

I planned on making my final illustration of what the finished scene would look like, on paper with pencil instead of any other format. I have software that I’d likely be able to create this image in however I feel this was the more suitable choice. As I’ve had less experience drawing digitally overall, as well as more experience drawing characters over background art, I feel I’d be able to make an overall higher quality image using pencil and paper. Using paper however provides it own difficulties. Using colour is a lot more difficulty and complicated. Erasing mistakes with colour also may not be possible, so instead I used greyscale shading. I’d also have to use high quality drawing paper in a format where I could create a lengthy image. The final image turned out well as I started discovering how to use shading and outlines more effectively as I worked. I had the idea in retrospect to draw the initial image on paper, and transfer it over to a digital software to use a base, where I could then use colour and the other advantages or digital art.

One thing I struggled with was the perspective and angle of the shot. I wanted to be able warp the image and give a perspective of looking upwards, as that was one of my original ideas. I used references to try and create this and inadvertently found the two games in development which used the city as either inspiration or as a setting. I thought having a 3D representation of the city could help with this. I had to settle for a normal angle in the end however, as the overall composition and look of the image felt distorted and out of place in my trials. I also first envisioned creating character sheets for the people in the animation, but after feedback and realising that I’d have to make a crowd shot, I settled with making featureless silhouettes. Using silhouettes is simpler and also adds to the mysterious atmosphere of the city I’m trying to depict.

The sound design of the animation would also be fairly simple. I would start at the top of the image with quiet diegetic background noises such as wind. As the screen travels downwards, the noise would slowly get louder as voices of muffled crowds and domestic arguments will be heard as the screen travels down from the apartment windows, into the streets below. I likely would have found royalty free noises online instead of making these myself as it would be quite difficult to emulate this myself. Collecting these noises in the streets could also pose problems, as recording individuals without consent violates some ethics.

During this module I did some research into some ethical issues when it comes to animation. These being IP (Intellectual property) and Image Content. Once my work starts being used in a professional context, I need to be aware of not infringing upon any copyright with my animations and artwork. Along with the basic need to respect others work and IP rights, I need to make sure I never directly use other materials in my work. In this context, not using and publishing any photographers’ images and calling it my own. This is in exception to works in the public domain, in which I feel I should still provide credit. Another more difficult issue is that of Image Content. There are times where if work is too similar to other people’s there could be problems. It can be up to interpretation where materials are to similar, but I still have to be careful to avoid this kind of conflict.

Overall, I am content with the ideas I came up with for this module as the research into Kowloon City was extremely engaging and interesting. The abundance of materials available about my chosen topic area was incredibly useful in my research of the design and aesthetic of the city. Despite struggling to accurately depict the scene how I wanted, I found solutions and am happy with the overall product. In the near future I plan on improve my illustration skills both traditionally and digitally so I can properly express my ideas and concepts in the most appropriate format, as I feel a strong visual style and identity will greatly benefit my work.

Sept 2019 Astrology ~ Reality Re-weaving is Underway

By Marcia Sisterstar

Hello, Beautiful,

It’s been three days since the Moon and the Sun performed the sacred marriage of cosmic energy that renews our connection with life each month. The hieros gamos, the ancients called the timeless magic that’s unfolding all month from the Virgo house of your birth chart..

What the second of 2019’s three consecutive new supermoons has just delivered to you, is a game-changing infusion of Virgo power. And, in quintessential Virgo style, while it’s officially over, it’s far from finished.

That’s because as Luna made herself new, she and the Sun were surrounded by all three planets of the inner solar system. Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Known as a stellium, it intensifies the power of the sign by orders of magnitude. All month you’ll be feeling htat power — in the most intimate and immediate parts of your life. How you think, what you love and value, your drive and ability to take action — it’s all sourced by these three planets.

And for the first half of this lunar cycle, they’re re-weaving your reality — breath by breath, thought by thought, choice by choice.

The Moon and Venus, the solar system’s two primary agents of Cosmic Feminine energy, have already begun their reality transformations (within and around you) as they’ve conjoined the Sun. Today and tomorrow, it’s the core agents of the Cosmic Masculine — Mars and Mercury, whose codes drive your action (Mars) and perception (Mercury) — who are in the transformation zone with our Star.

This morning, Mars transmuted himself in the Sun’s fire as he made exact alignment. In 9 degrees of Virgo, the Red One created the seed of the motivation and action style that will lead you through the next two years — ones that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. In the coming days, that seed will be powerfully supported by Saturn and Mars, and then stress-tested by Jupiter and Neptune.

*Tomorrow night, it will be Mercury’s time to enter the fires of our solar system’s Great Heart. In the days ahead, a transformed Messenger will follow the Red One into the cosmic realignment zone that is your life for the tests that will ready him — and you — for th adventure of a lifetime.

For Mars, this is a whole new beginning. For Mercury, as for Venus, it’s an initiation into the wisdom phase. Both are becoming the Evening Stars who will soon be guiding us through one of the most exciting, bewildering, shocking, and reality-bending times of our lives.

Virgo: the zodiac’s most misunderstood sign goes multidimensional

Too often seen as an OCD nag and neatnik, the Cosmic Virgin is in fact a reality re-weaver. Far more than the zodiac’s maid service, tidying up the messes of our lives, she’s actually the force within us all who brings spirit and matter, cosmos and earth into deep, creative alignment. And this month, she’s going multidimensional.

When Luna, now a delicate new crescent, formed a 45-degree semi-square with the Sun this morning, she was signaling us: her incubation period is over. She’s ready for action.

And so are you. Not just any action. The action that will re- weave spirit and matter together, on the multiple levels of your reality where profound shift is occurring. There’s some extremely potent dimensional weaving in play throughout September — and far beyond. If you’ve been watching 11 consecutive days of rain falling over the Amazon, as circles of prayer, meditation, and energy work formed around the globe, or of Hurricane Dorian’s slow shifting away from the coast of Florida, as similar groups formed, you’ve been witnessing that potency. If you’ve been tapping into the field with your own prayers, meditation, or energy work, you’ve been experiencing this interdimensional re-weaving yourself within you as well as around you..

Even then, when so much is happening beneath the surface, it can seem as if “nothing” is happening on the outer level. Don’t let that lead you to underestimate the power of what’s underway, within and around you — or to ignore it. The Virgo seed that’s ready for action is infused with the codes of quantum breakthrough — delivered by Uranus in the mighty flowing wave astrologers call a trine to the New Moon — and those codes are making their way through the global field like seeds bringing the spring through the dark, heavy earth to the surface.

In this case, you’re the seed, the fertile and resistant earth, and also the surge of the new. That’s going to become more clear than ever over the next eight days. — when an almost dizzying array of conjunctions, trines, and oppositions are rewiring not only your perceptions, your values, and your motivation and drive. They’re also rewiring your ability to navigate multiple realities.

The narrowing gap between timelines and reality fields

Within and around you, metamorphosis is occurring. It’s happening in the narrowing gap that we normally experience between short-term developments — a new moon, some new intentions, and new beginnings for your personal life — and the longer-term movements of the outer, reality-shaping planets and the solar system itself.

Our longer term direction is towards a much deeper connection with our galaxy — and beyond. New planet discoveries in the solar system’s outer, trnasformational edge, like the cascade of discoveries about our universe have opened new pathways in human consciousness. The breakdown of old systems makes it much easier to step into these expanded realities — if we can integrate the energy. Otherwise we may find our personal circumstances collapsing with the old paradigms. Even then, though , we are wired into the Universe, carriers of expanded reality codes, even when things seem most hopeless. That’s what it means to carry the Universe within us. The inside-out job of reality transformation

Transforming reality, is an inside-out job, not the other way around. Our part is to connect to what is already dormant within us — with our hearts, our intentions, and our bodies too — and to align with, integrate, and ground what we uncover within.

The transformation of deep reality structures is well underway. Pluto and Saturn have been closely conjunct all year, and are now just over four months from their first conjunction in Capricorn — the sign of the most ancient and enduring structures — since 1285. Paradigms were collapsing 700 years ago, too — as both a 200-year holy war and feudalism came to an end and new and unimagined reality is opened up.

2020 begins with the historic conjunction of Saturn and Pluto. It will end with the first air-sign conjunction of the two reality-shapers, Jupiter and Saturn in 500 years. Their last air sign conjunction was in the same sign where the two guru planets will meet on the 2020 Winter solstice — Aquarius, our consciousness destination in this unprecedented sea crossing. That 1405 meeting gave rise to the period some historians refer to as the “miracle centuries” that transformed Europe. The good future is already within you. It’s time to bring it more fully into your life, and our world.

What they will give rise to in 2020 is taking shape within us now. The work we have to do to birth a new reality is already present. Our challenges and our desires are already pointing us to the path to the good future.

It’s the very crises we face, personally and collectively that are pushing us to tap the power to transform. The keys to unlock that power have been within us since we were born. In a time of global crisis, the codes that connect us to the Universe, and allow reality timelines to shift, are waking up.

Reweaving your reality

Over the next two weeks, the entire inner solar system is participating in re-weaving your reality in the most personal and immediate of ways — as the planets in the Virgo stellium make a mind-blowing series of 21 connections. Following the conjunctions of Mercury, Venus and Mars to the Sun, they’re all conjoining each other — and the edge-dweller Orcus, who carries the sovereign and reality-creating power of your soul vows.

In rapid succession, the inner trio will then go on to form squares, trines, and oppositions — 14 in all — to Jupiter, Saturn, Nessus, and Pluto. Throughout this process, they’ll be realigning the relationship between your thoughts, values, and drive with abundance, manifestation, domination, and power — and making possible a far deeper level of integration than ever before.

This is happening from within you. It’s already there. Before “doing” anything or “making something happen,” let your intentions, perceptions, and choices come into deeper alignment — and intend, see, and choose from there.

8/31-9/3: Creation and consolidation of new ways of seeing, wanting, and acting:

The Sun conjuncts he Moon, Mars, Mercury, and Orcus

Thee Moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Orcus conjunct each other

9/2-12: Confronting the dominator and expanding the new by dropping the dead weight of disconnection

The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars oppose Nessus, the Abuser

Venus, Sun, Mercury, Mars square Jupiter

9/7-14: Discerning illusion from inspiration

Mercury, Venus, and Mars oppose Neptune

9/14: Moving forward as Saturn stations dirct and begins to move forward — th day of a Pisces Full Moon

9/21: Unraveling illusion from inspiration and holding a bigger space for the Real

Jupiter squares Neptune for the third and final time, opening a bigger space for a deeper, wider, and truer connection to the Oneness.

Medicine for Reweaving

Virgo is extremely sensitive and can be overwhelmed by over-stimulation.

By sending overwhelm into the Earth as you make direct connection through bare feet or hands, or connect with the Earth Mother’s frequencies by holding her crystalline forms, you open a channel of access to her vast reservoir of already aligned high-frequency cosmic energy.

By adding the power of breath — breathing in through your feet from the heart of the Earth, and exhaling out through your crown, all the way to the heart of the Universe — you’re accessing the air element at a time when none of the solar system’s core planets are in an air sign. It’s air that gives us perspective, keeps our fire burning, and prevents our water frequencies from becoming stagnant and our earth frequencies from getting stuck.

Until Mercury enters Scorpio in early October, Neptune (and the Moon, for just a couple of days at a time every tne days or so) is the only planet in a water sign. To avoid becoming brittle and parched, give yourself abundant access to the life-renewing qualities of water. Drink lots of it. Take long showers or baths. Read poetry — or better yet, write it. Listen to your emotions, and also to music.

The times you took birth for have arrived. It’s time to stay in your one-of-a-kind magic than ever before. May it bless you, and all whose lives you touch, over and over, every minute of the exciting days ahead.

With all the love, and the blessings of the stars,

Marcia (aka Star Sister)

Hello, and welcome to Roly-Poly weight loss. I’m your host, Roly-Poly.

Welcome to day 33!

Today we are continuing our assessment of factors that you need to consider for your lowercase-d diet. And today’s factor is number 2 - your environment!

Now, this, in combining the lists, I have broken down into three subfactors. The first is an abundance of food. The second is sedentary snacking, and the third is aggressive marketing. So we’ll go through those in order.

Now, environment tends to tie in with genetics, as you saw last time. It is hard to talk about the one without the other. This is something that comes up in the WebMD article, as Dr Li says so pithily: “Genetics load the gun, environment pulls the trigger.”

Last time I touched on how, while you get your genetics from your parents, you also get a portion of your environment from your parents. Harvard Health elaborates. “Childhood habits often stick with people for the rest of their lives. Kids who drink sugary sodas and eat high-calorie, processed foods develop a taste for these products and continue eating them as adults, which tends to promote weight gain. Likewise, kids who watch television and play video games instead of being active may be programming themselves for a sedentary future.”

The Explained docuseries’s Dr. Christopher Gardner agrees that genetics and environment are linked: ““One of the things we also know is that genetics haven’t changed appreciably over the last 30 years that have corresponded with the rise of the obesity epidemic.” Our genes may not have changed much, but our food environment has.”

This is something that we touched on last time, from “Why are We Getting So Fat?” Dr. Giles Yeo said, “In the developed world, we’ve never had so much available to eat, and so little to do. In the last 20 years, the number of Take-Aways has soared. And research has shown that living and working near a high density of Take-Away outlets doubles your liklihood of being obese.”

So we talked about how this relates to your genetic inclination for obesity, but on its own, purely as an environmental factor, that is a huge statistic. You are basically twice as likely to be obese if you live in a fast-food saturated environment!

But this statistic isn’t as straightforward as it seems. The prevalence of fast food ties in to food availability. As Healthline notes, “Food, especially junk food, is everywhere now. Shops display tempting foods where they are most likely to gain your attention. Another problem is that junk food is often cheaper than healthy, whole foods, especially in America.”

Junky fast food is usually cheaper than a more healthy alternative. For example, a place like Souplantation, where you can have a large salad and other healthier choices, costs $10 for lunch, not counting a drink. And more than that for dinner.

On the other hand, I can get a 5-dollar-fill-up at KFC, or a combo at Taco Bell for 5-6 dollars, and those include drinks! So I can feed two people fast food for the same price as one person at a Souplantation.

Sure, the fast food is less healthy, but sometimes cost is the more crucial factor.

Of course, it also bears asking if your local environment even has a place like a Souplantation. There are only about 100 Souplantations across the country - though I’m sure there are similar types of restaurants. Even if we take Southern California, where Souplantation originated, as the most prevalent location, there are just a dozen in the San Diego area and one in LA. In contrast, there are over 5,000 Taco Bells in the country, with almost 1,000 of those in California. Over 50 are in San Diego and LA alone. And that’s nothing on McDonald’s, which has almost 14,000 locations in the US!

So what is more likely to be close to you? The cheap, ubiquitous, unhealthy option, or the expensive, rare, healthy option?

Now, tied in to this is food deserts, which is probably a term you’ve heard of. And also a term you probably haven’t heard of, which is food swamps.

So a food desert is a location where people don’t have ready access to supermarkets or other sources of fresh, healthy food. The general notion is that these people only have access to fast food or convenience store-type food, and that getting to a supermarket to get fresh food, either because of distance or because of lack of transportation, is unreasonable.

Now, the Washington Post has a very intriguing article on this. “The idea that areas that lack of access to a full-service supermarket — a.k.a. food deserts — promoted obesity “made theoretical sense,” Dubowitz says. And it was a testable thesis. So, it got tested! Scientists looked closely at the relationship grocery access has to obesity, and tracked changes to obesity and other health outcomes in low-access neighborhoods that got a new supermarket. It turns out that grocery access doesn’t correlate cleanly with obesity, and a new grocery store is unlikely to make a dent in obesity rates. And those results came up in study after study after study.”

This is where we try to fight against misinformation. Now, this research does not suggest that food deserts are unimportant, by any means. Access to healthy food would certainly have an impact on anyone’s lowercase-d diet. But science has shown no direct correlation to obesity.

For example, the Washington Post author notes, “The obesity needle might not move, but Dubowitz found that the new supermarket she studied, in Pittsburgh, was associated with several smaller changes. Study participants reported eating a little better — less sugar, fewer calories. People felt better about living in the neighborhood. None of this was specifically attributable to the supermarket, as people who didn’t shop at it reported the same changes as those who did, but it raises the possibility that a supermarket can help improve a neighborhood in ways that go beyond food access. It brings jobs, and could pave the way for more investment. It can make the area feel safer.”

Solving the food desert problem can certainly help people, but it won’t automatically cure obesity.

And when you think about that a little further, that makes sense. If your habit is to go to the convenience store to get your ramen and soda or whatever, and your taste buds are attuned to that kind of food, and maybe you have a double FTO risk variant that makes you crave those foods, and the existence of the supermarket in your food environment isn’t going to instantly change all of your other factors.

Which the article agrees with. “Step back, and look at how much has changed in our food environment over the past several decades. We’re navigating a landscape of diabolically irresistible food specifically designed to swamp our willpower, both by being engineered for deliciousness and by being available everywhere we turn. In that context, it makes sense that simply moving a produce section into the neighborhood won’t change much.”

This said, there is a journal article archived in the National Library of Medicine that poses an interesting distinction. They introduce - at least to me - the term “Food swamp.” As they explain, “Food swamps have been described as areas with a high-density of establishments selling high-calorie fast food and junk food, relative to healthier food options.”

Now this, you can see, is subtly different from a food desert, which deals specifically with a lack of good options. A swamp might have good food options, but they are overwhelmed by junk options. And this is just like what Dr. Yeo was talking about before, with people who live in a place with a high density of fast food outlets, or Take Aways.

And the journal’s authors agree! “Our results suggest that the presence of a food swamp is a stronger predictor of obesity rates than the absence of full-service grocery stores. We found, even after controlling for food desert effects, food swamps have a positive, statistically significant effect on adult obesity rates.”

They do offer one caveat, though, in that future studies should find a way “to adjust for the possibility that obese adults choose to live in neighborhoods that are food swamps.” So it might be an issue of which came first: the chicken or the egg kind of thing here.

But, cause and effect aside, if you live in a food swamp, you should consider that when forming your food plan. Likewise, if you live in a food desert that will also be a consideration, but in subtly different ways.

Okay, so the next sub-factor is sedentary snacking. This I touched on earlier, when talking about how we can even get fast food delivered now, for the absolute minimum amount of effort!

So far we’ve largely been talking about environment as something outside of the house, but Harvard Health makes a point that your inside environment and habits are also important. They note, “The average American watches about four hours of television per day, a habit that's been linked to overweight or obesity in a number of studies. [...] People with overweight and obesity spend more time watching television and playing video games than people of normal weight. Watching television more than two hours a day also raises the risk of overweight in children, even in those as young as three years old.”

Now, you might assume that this ties in to exercise. If you’re watching TV, you’re not being active. Or, conversely, if you’re not watching TV, you might do something active instead.

But the study referenced by Harvard Health points to a different reasoning. “Studies show that eating food in front of the TV stimulates people to eat more calories, and particularly more calories from fat. In fact, a study that limited the amount of TV kids watched demonstrated that this practice helped them lose weight — but not because they became more active when they weren't watching TV. The difference was that the children ate more snacks when they were watching television than when doing other activities, even sedentary ones.”

So something about the environment of watching TV, even compared to other sedentary activities like reading or sewing, leads to snacking, and potentially becoming overweight.

Another thing that might influence TV-related snacking is advertising. Though many people stream their TV now, and avoid advertisements, so it can’t be wholly responsible. But just watching a few minutes of commercials on TV will give you an abundance of food ads.

Harvard Health concurs, and expands on this. “Food advertisements also may play a significant role. The average hour-long TV show features about 11 food and beverage commercials, which encourage people to eat.”

Healthline points out that these ads are not exactly innocuous. “Junk food producers are very aggressive marketers. Their tactics can get unethical at times and they sometimes try to market very unhealthy products as healthy foods. These companies also make misleading claims. What’s worse, they target their marketing specifically towards children.”

Science Daily has a fascinating article about this. “Health-related buzzwords, such as "antioxidant," "gluten-free" and "whole grain," lull consumers into thinking packaged food products labeled with those words are healthier than they actually are, according to a new research study conducted by scholars at the University of Houston (UH).”

The study looked at the degree to which we consumers can be fooled by these kinds of buzzwords by showing them actual marketing images that included them, and then photoshopped versions that removed the “healthy” words. “It found that consumers tend to view food products labeled with health-related euphemisms as healthier than those without them. The research also showed that the nutrition facts panels printed on food packaging as required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration do little to counteract that buzzword marketing.”

So that last part, about the nutrition facts panels, is, I think, more telling than the buzzwords on the fronts. They showed two labels at a time and had the study participants pick the one they perceived as “healthier.” “"Food marketers say there are nutritional labels, so people can find out what's healthy and what's not," he said. "Findings from this research study indicate people aren't very good at reading nutritional labels even in situations where they are choosing between salmon and Spam. Approximately 20 percent picked Spam as the healthier option over salmon," said Northup.”

So 20% of the people who looked at these labels were confused or mislead about the actual health benefits of the contents. That’s kind of scary!

Why is it so scary to me? Because those labels aren’t as good as we think they are, even if we are reading them correctly! US News and World Report explains this in their article.

“Unfortunately, Nutrition Facts labels are not always factual. For starters, the law allows a pretty lax margin of error—up to 20 percent—for the stated value versus actual value of nutrients. In reality, that means a 100-calorie pack could, theoretically, contain up to 120 calories and still not be violating the law. The same margin of error goes for other nutrients as well.”

As they point out, for diabetics who are counting carbs, or people with high blood pressure who are counting their sodium, or anyone else counting a specific aspect from the labels, this “margin of error” can be a huge problem.

They go into specific detail about Vitamin A and iron content - two nutrients that are often outside of the 20% margin of error - pointing out several problematic labels. My favorite is the one for a cereal that supposedly gains 5% the daily amount of iron when you add milk, which doesn’t have iron in it. That’s a neat magic trick!

They offer “a rule of thumb: unless a packaged, non-meat food is iron-fortified—in which case, the word "iron" would appear in the ingredient list—any label's claim to have more than 10 percent of the daily value for iron per serving should be viewed with great suspicion.”

The problem with these labels is that, as US News explains, “The FDA has never established a systematic, random label-auditing process, and compliance with the law is expected to be self-enforced by food manufacturers.”

And, of course, why would they want to tell us anything bad? Or anything less than ideal? It’s almost enough to make you not trust the labels or food manufacturers at all!

And if they aren’t truthful on their labels, why would their commercials be any different? We’ve all heard the “part of a balanced breakfast” lie, or seen the teeny tiny fine print on the bottom of a commercial and not bothered to pause and get a magnifying glass and read it. This all ties in, again, to that “misinformation” factor that we’ve touched on throughout.

And this is all a part of the environment of food around us that can contribute to obesity.

So it is important to keep all of these things in mind when you’re considering your lowercase-d diet plan and just what is around you.

This has been Roly Poly Weight loss. As always, I am your host, Roly Poly. Use the hashtag #Food Advertising to share any crazy commercials or labels you’ve seen!

J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit enthusiastically recommend dishes to Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 15 with their mouths half-full.

Drink of Choice: Lemon Water

Magic rings, delicious food, and sacrifice bring these unlikely friends in conversation. Tolkien’s works are undoubtedly foundational tools for most contemporary high fantasy stories, and the Final Fantasy series has grown with the the genre for over a decade. Oddly, both these narratives use a vastly overlooked and underrated symbol to emphasize the perpetual danger their main characters - Noctis and Frodo/Bilbo encounter - food.

Final Fantasy 15’s cooking mechanic is simple, less a mini-game and more an aesthetically pleasing feature that provides stat buffs. You could almost forget about it entirely, were it not for the incessant, meme-worthy quote from Ignis Scientia, “That’s it! I’ve come up with a new recipe.” Mid-dungeon Ignis finds he must tell you that Creamy Fowl Sauté is totally possible now. You beat a difficult mini-boss with an emotional cut scene,but the menu now has Fluffy Chiffon Cake, fam. The sheer amount of times players hear his token phrase is absurd, but on some level, it brings food in conversation with survival. Sure, you need food to survive, but why include the option to make recipes and gather ingredients? How do we reconcile staggering out of battle and picking up mushrooms after for the next five minutes?

The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit offer a very similar theme in the scope of their adventures. FF15’s and LOR/TH’s narratives drive back and forth between imminent danger and the desire for food. The very description of a “hobbit” includes their love for food, and events like Bilbo’s Birthday Party in LOR highlight that notion. The event’s magnitude is measured by how much food was ordered, and its success expressed by how much of the food was consumed. Main characters Bilbo and Sam/Frodo come pre-equipped with food being thematic and central to their personalities. Because these three characters had not experienced being outside the Shire and in danger before their quests began, we find food to be indicative of daily life and peace. Once the narrative takes the hobbits outside their territory and into precarious lifestyles, it becomes indicative of something much more important and overwhelming - the eventual triumph over evil. I’m careful not to use the word survival in this definition, as Frodo expresses throughout LOR that he expects to die during the scope of his trial. Like in FF15, there are many moments where Bilbo or Sam/Frodo engage in battle and after rest and eat.

FF15 conditions players to equate Ignis making food with safety and friendship. The campsites that the team retires to represents both sanctuary and camaraderie, and character relationships are strengthened when new or favorite meals are prepared. Ignis will also ask Noctis to assist him with the cooking, which highlights their relationship as friends and equals, rather than ruler and subject. These mealtime scenes also reveal past circumstances and a broader narrative foundation that would otherwise go unsaid. LOR’s version of Ignis is quite visibly Sam, who carries around pots and pans and, upon having to let them go near the end of their quest, feels woeful and reluctant. The role of the cook in both these narratives is the role of the nurturer. Both Frodo and Noctis carry a self-sacrificing burden, near inescapable, and feeding them becomes a small way of Sam and Ignis providing support in an impossible situation.

The absence of good food is palpable in both stories at select times. LOR weans Sam away from being able to provide nourishment once the duo enter Mordor, and they henceforth rely on lembas to keep their bodies functioning. It becomes akin to rations, bland yet encouraging. You could separate LOR’s good and difficult moments by evaluating if there is an abundance of food or an absence of it during a given moment. FF15 works the same way. DLC’s for each character removes them from the group dynamic in order to tackle a personal challenge. In a similar vein of survival, Episode Gladiolus features Gladio and Cor eating Cup Noodles at their campsites, and the tone is drastically distant and serious from the ones that feature the team of teens. Episode Prompto shows him eating canned food and dreamily thinking about Ignis’s cooking (much in the same way Frodo and Sam dream of the Shire’s cuisine during their darker days). Interestingly, Episode Ignis does not show the talented cook making himself meals. We see him drinking Ebony, a canned coffee that is said to be Ignis’s favorite drink. It’s odd to see such an integral part of his character, as chef, go unspoken and unused in his own DLC. It reveals that food isn’t a part of his character, but providing for his friends is. Why make Pork Cutlet Sandwiches when there’s no one there to enjoy them?

In an interview with FF15’s game developer, Tomohiro Hasegawa commented, “In the game, food is part of the expression of each city’s culture. However, what was important was not to focus on particular cultures, but to give the impression of traveling long distances by showing how culinary cultures change by region” (Reynolds). The road trip turned survival mission underscores the groups travel and unfamiliarity with their surroundings. Some recipes aren’t acquired unless you visit restaurants and try the local cuisine, such as Lestallum’s Bird Broth Rice and Curry, which unlocks Peppery Daggerquill Rice. On the other hand, chains like Crow’s Nest Diner offer the same dishes no matter where you go, reminding players of places like Denny's and ihop. The inclusion of eating makes characters more relatable and provides an edible record of the places Noctis and Co. have traveled.

You could easily make a similar record with LOR/TH. In moments of survival and struggle Frodo and Sam rely on lembas while Bilbo and Co. turn to cram. In LOR Gimli comments that lembas reminds him of honey cake made by the Beornings. These foods are described as bland but filling and long-lasting, and only lembas has extra magic included. Miruvor, an elvish mead, is given to Gandalf at the start of his journey in LOR to provide warmth and strength, through it is mainly used at elvish festivals. Held captive, Merry and Pippin are forced to down Grog by the orc Uglúk, and it grants them brief strength on their trip to Isengard. When evaluated, we find that most all food that is specially described and fictional in LOR/TH are foods that are self-sustaining and provide strength. Even Ent-Wash, which Merry and Pippin drink heartily, cause them to physically grow taller and larger during their attempts to overthrow Isengard. While food in FF15 informs players about friendships and emits safety, LOR/TH showcases food as a tool of war - necessary in order to turn the tides of battle.

The rings. How could we not talk about the rings? Both FF15 and LOR/TH feature reluctant ring bearers, and the rings themselves are charged with power. But what does this have to do with food? Well, if we think about food as that which is consumed and the eater as the consumer, I can’t help but think of Noctis and Frodo/Bilbo as predators turned prey. Both Frodo and Bilbo are almost literally eaten by their respective attackers, and Bilbo even listens to trolls discuss the best methods to season and cook him. While monsters never actually attempt to eat Noctis, he is hunted and, in the end, consumed by another force - the ring. The ring. The rings. Frodo’s constant psychic battles with the ring seems to invigorate and empower him while weakening his mind and heart. You could say that the ring consumes Frodo by feeding him. His reservations about surviving his relationship with the ring are slim, and the withdrawal effects are reminiscent of an addict starving for a drug. Power is food. Food is power.

And Noctis? Well, his ring feeds him by consuming him. One of FF15′s loading screens explains, “Harboring the souls of Lucian rulers of old, the ring allows its wearer to channel the power of the Crystal—but drains away one's life.” As a family heirloom, it represents leadership of an entire kingdom alongside its magical abilities. During a specific part of the game the ring is the only weapon available, making it a protective rather than a dangerous. However, toward the end of the game Noctis is consumed, literally, by a crystal. When he finally emerges time has fast-forwarded and the world is in ruins. He calls on all the forces of the ancestral ring in order to defeat Ardyn (the villain), and is ultimately sacrificed in the process. Both he and Frodo only truly accept the quest of the ring once they decide their lives are forfeit.

Food can be a magical and mysterious concept, but most often it’s a part of daily life and representative of normalcy. However, these two fantastical narratives encourage us to slow down, take it in, pull up a friend, and recover.

Nano XL Energy Formula: New Product Development Outline For New Energy Bar

The market for vitality bars is exceptionally immersed with various organizations rivaling various product offerings and a lot of item variety inside every product offering. While there are a couple of enormous contenders, the simple of section into the market has enabled various littler makers to enter the market with specialty, very separated items. Nano XL Energy Formula Review is perhaps the biggest maker of vitality bars in the market today, however they do not have the very specific presentation bar with high separation from the challenge. The item opportunity is Nano XL Energy Formula, a combination of Five Hour Energy with the normal Nano XL Energy Formula recipe. Nano XL Energy Formula would furnish durable vitality with the supplements of Nano XL Energy Formula in a minimized, transportable structure.

Nano XL Energy Formula consolidates a gel-focus made out of Five Hour Energy with Nano XL Energy Formula equation outside shell

The conventional Nano XL Energy Formula bar gives abundant space to item improvement. The bar itself can contain fluids without permitting any however, along these lines making it a thought recipe to encase a gel substance. Five Hour Energy is showcased as a no-crash vitality recipe for competitors, laborers, and individuals with a functioning way of life. By joining the Five Hour Energy recipe with a gel, the gel can be encased inside the Nano XL Energy Formula equation. The focal points to the gel recipe are less trickling while as yet holding a cooler, invigorating sensation.

Item Placement as a Key Driver of Product Marketing

We accept the Nano XL Energy Formula would almost certainly observe the most deals from arranged buy territories - this would be a devoted segment of a path with typical marketing, as opposed to in the checkout territory for spur of the moment purchases. A few areas could incorporate Erik's Bikes, Target, REI, Sports Authority, Gander Mountain, Gear West, Wal-Mart, Cabella's, Guitar Center, and other dynamic way of life areas or accommodation store areas. While a portion of these stores are focused for their dynamic way of life fans, others, similar to Guitar Center, are centered around the long haul vitality effect of the bar. We accept the bar could be utilized before shows or other vitality exceptional exhibitions notwithstanding the undeniable athletic interests where Nano XL Energy Formula is a key fit for the client's requests.

Relative SWOT Analysis of the Nano XL Energy Formula versus a Variety of Competitive Substitute Products

The most evident quality of the Nano XL Energy Formula is the two brands that it unites - 5 Hour Energy and Nano XL Energy Formula. The two logos could be utilized for promoting to plainly impart the amazing equations inside the bar. Moreover, the bar is smaller, yet huge enough to deal with effectively while moving. In contrast to glue or unadulterated gel items, the bar contains solids which enable the client to bite the sustenance preceding gulping. The impacts of the bar enable the client to keep up vitality over some stretch of time from two unmistakable sources - the impacts of 5 Hour Energy and the fats and proteins from the Nano XL Energy Formula equation.

Be that as it may, we understand Nano XL Energy Formula isn't without its shortcomings. The main shortcoming is the equation of the bar - the gel-based items are expected for fast utilization while amidst a physically requesting action, for example, running a long distance race, while strong nourishment items are planned for rest periods inside that movement - which may block it from the most physically requesting exercises. Furthermore, the two equations may cover in fixings which may diminish the adequacy of the recipes. The body can just assimilate such a large amount of a substance before it disposes of the rest of overabundance. On the off chance that the two items were to cover in a specific nutrient that gives vitality, the body may dispose of the extra nutrient given by 5 Hour Energy and ingest just the nutrient given by Nano XL Energy Formula, hence decreasing the viability of the 5 Hour Energy.

Open doors for Nano XL Energy Formula are various, however. As referenced in the store areas, we accept the Nano XL Energy Formula can be set over an assortment of business sectors, from genuine competitors to artists to easygoing purchasers. Furthermore, the product offering can be extended to incorporate various kinds of the Nano XL Energy Formula by mixes between 5 Hour Energy and the bar enhance. Another purpose of separation for the item is the size of the bar. Littler bars can be accommodated minimized travel while bigger bars can be accommodated very still times of an action. In conclusion, the item amount can be fluctuated, from single bars for the easygoing buyer to boxes for the genuine competitor.

Dangers to the item dispatch are various. The business is exceptionally aggressive and numerous substitutes exist for the item. The item likewise conquers any hindrance between strong bar (very still item) and gel items (in movement item) which may cause disarray for shoppers and may diminish the occasions when the bar can be expended. Ultimately, the specialty market may not exist for such a particular item or a littler, exceedingly concentrated maker may as of now exist in this market.

Patterns that help the dispatch of this item focus on the animation of our objective market and the challenge inside the business. As indicated by the FDA, new items in the vitality bar industry have expanded 28% over the most recent four years. Furthermore, the US Department of Health has issued new research showing the heftiness levels inside the US keep on developing, however at stifled levels. These two patterns point to an expanding interest for vitality bar items by a bigger market.

Focusing on the Primary Market for the Nano XL Energy Formula

The essential target market is the dynamic way of life fan and competitor. We would utilize a various items, different market portions approach with our numerous kinds of the bar. We accept the dynamic way of life devotee can be characterized as living in the US (our essential market and starting dispatch point) in a noteworthy city or rural region, both male and female, any race, somewhere in the range of 16 and 65, with salary (or access to pay, for example parent's salary) over $60,000. The psychographic division would be dynamic way of life, which would incorporate a focused drive to win, a craving to be dynamic, peril, and somebody who works out numerous times each week. Social division could be utilized to further target clients who regular a games or dynamic way of life store more than once every month.

Nano XL Energy Formula is very aggressive with numerous upper hands

Nano XL Energy Formula takes care of the issue of a strong bar drying out the purchaser. While strong bars will in general need dampness, Nano XL Energy Formula has a gel focus that rehydrates the shopper while working out. While this does not mean water isn't important, it will significantly balance the need to drink water while eating the bar. Also, it contains more sustenance than a gel pack and is better tasting. In conclusion, due to the effectiveness of Nano XL Energy Formula's assembling procedure, Nano XL Energy Formula can be offered at a cost in-accordance with different bars, which means it offers more impact at a similar cost, making it the prevalent buy as far as worth per dollar.

Nano XL Energy Formula takes care of the issue of a strong bar drying out the client during an exercise. Moreover, it takes care of the issue of a gel pack not tasting great and being cumbersome to eat. It does this by consolidating the two viewpoints into a strong bar folded over a gel focus that is produced using 5 Hour Energy for an extra burst of continued vitality for the aggressive competitor.

Affecting the Customer Purchase Decision Process with Four Key Factors

Clients assess numerous criteria when acquiring a vitality bar. For a few, it is a snappy buy dependent on physical yearning while at the same time working out. For other people, it is an arranged buy with a coordinated objective of buying a solitary sort of bar.

Nano XL Energy Formula can be publicized on games driven channels, for example, ESPN to impact the two kinds of buys. Further, superstar underwriting can make a connection among Nano XL Energy Formula and the presentation of a top competitor. By utilizing advertiser overwhelmed wellsprings of data, for example, the site and our publicizing, the buyer will think about Nano XL Energy Formula.

Also, during the buy choice procedure, signage or an uncommon showcase can be utilized to separate the item from other vitality bars.

How to Experience Radical Change – and LOVE IT!

I want to talk to you today about a decision that could change your life forever. It’s the idea that a small moment, a small decision, that doesn’t SEEM radical, can create radical change.

Whoa... You say, “Radical change?” Who wants “Radical change?” Frankly, I think most of us do.

No, not change as in upheaval, distress, movement, etc.

Change as in, “Everything is better, feels better, life is flowing, relationships are healing, money is coming in, joy has come back into the very core of my being...”

That, to me, is Radical Change.

Why do we need Radical Change?

Because when I look around, most people are simply NOT feeling this way on a daily basis, or with any consistency.

It seems like we, as a society, have lowered the bar in a significant way.

It’s like an awful game of “Limbo”!

The issue is, there’s nobody out there in the mainstream media, in our communities, or in our families, looking at us and telling us, “You CAN feel good all the time!”

That message simply does not exist. Imagine that, it doesn’t EXIST! Look at the messages we are receiving if we dare to turn on the television. They say, “Here is happiness, joy, and abundance, all you have to do is take this little pill (and please ignore the list of horrible side effects, just look at the pretty pictures).

“Here’s a great time with friends and family. Everyone looks great and healthy AND they’re drinking beer.”

Those are the “positive” messages.

If you actually watch the programming (and it is “programming”!) you are likely to see awful news on the “news”, or a game show where people are basically gambling to make any money, or a cop/detective show where someone is brutally killed in the first 5 minutes, and then we spend the next hour going after all the suspects and trying to uncover the mystery.

It’s almost laughable, if it were not so painful....

Now, you might say to me, “I don’t watch TV!” Well, that’s fantastic, a great start. So the questions then become, who are you interacting with? What are you talking about? What are you thinking about?

And if most of you take an honest look at that question, you’ll see it’s not a pretty picture.

So what do you do?

What do you do when everyone around you acts this way and it’s so much easier to “fit in” by just going along with it?

Easy to say, harder to do...

You make a CHOICE!

You make a CONSCIOUS CHOICE to no longer participate in energies that don’t support you and your well-being. You pay attention, close attention, to how something makes you feel and if it doesn’t make you feel good, you move away from it, stop speaking about it, turn it around.

And you use TAPPING, every step of the way, to make the whole process MUCH easier.

You might be wondering, how exactly do I do that? Let me give you an example:

You just got home from work, later than you wanted to... again. You’re tired, stressed, just fed the kids and put them to bed, and you’re overwhelmed with all the stress and responsibility. Your habit and instinct is to put on the TV and watch CSI (a crime show).

You think, it’s a well put together show, and entertaining, and you get to zone out for an hour, but you never feel great afterwards and you often have nightmares from the violence in the show. It would seem obvious not to watch it, but you’re just compelled to do so, and you just need to zone out...

Instead, here's what you can do:

In that moment of making the choice between turning on the TV or not, you pause, tap on the karate chop point, and say, “Even though I’m totally stressed out, the kids are driving me crazy, work stinks, and I just want to disappear for an hour into the drama of that TV show, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

You repeat it three times while tapping on the karate chop point and then tap through each of the other points, repeating, “This stress... tap, tap, tap... I just want to watch TV... tap, tap, tap... I don’t have the energy to do anything else... tap, tap, tap...” and so forth, through the points.

You finish one round and take a deep breath... Sigh...

All of a sudden, something has shifted. Your body has relaxed in a big way. The stress has lifted just enough for you to say, “I feel ok, and I think I’m going to read my book...”

And that subtle but important choice, is ALL the difference.

Because you just keep making that better choice, again and again. And you just keep using Tapping to balance your energy and come to that place of peace.

Again and Again.

Tap, Tap, Tap

Sigh... I can now make the better choice.

Again and Again.

And next thing you know... Radical Change!

You feel better, happier, and more fulfilled.

Sigh...

Tap, Tap, Tap...

Radical Change IS possible. Start now! What can you tap on to bring some relief into your life? What empowering CHOICE can you make?

NOW.

Until next time....

Keep Tapping!

Did you do the tapping? How did it feel for you? Did you experience a Radical Change? Please leave me your comments below!
