The Dangers of Mold and Why You Need Professional Help

Mold can cause a variety of health problems. The most obvious ones are allergic reactions. Other symptoms include red eyes, runny nose, coughing, and wheezing. In some cases, mold can be toxic. It can also irritate the skin. If you notice any of these signs, you should seek medical attention.

Most people are exposed to mold daily. The risk of exposure is greater for those with respiratory conditions, allergies, or immune suppression. People with asthma may have a more severe reaction to mold. This is because of the mold's ability to produce a number of irritants.

The best way to deal with mold is to remove it. Molds can grow on just about any material, including wood, drywall, paper, and carpet. They also produce toxins called mycotoxins. These toxins can be dangerous when inhaled and can lead to serious health problems. Several species of molds can produce mycotoxins.

You can prevent mold growth by keeping your home properly ventilated and dampness controlled. Some sources of moisture are leaking pipes, leaky faucets, and flooded basements. Also, you can use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to reduce the amount of moisture in your house. While cleaning up a small infestation of mold might be an option, large mold problems require professional help.

One of the easiest ways to locate a problem is to look for moisture. Check your windows and doors for leaks, as well as your attic and roof. When checking the water level in your house, be sure to clean out gutters and drains. There are also inexpensive hygrometers you can buy at a hardware store.

Mold spores are lightweight and can travel throughout the air. This means they can be easily inhaled by sensitive individuals. However, they cannot be seen with the naked eye. That is why you need to have a qualified medical professional inspect your home.

Although testing for mold is expensive and not necessarily recommended, it can help you determine whether you have a mold problem. Using a hygrometer is a good start, as it will tell you how much water there is in your home.

To find hidden mold, you may have to look in attics and crawl spaces. Also, look for stains on walls and ceilings. Since mold grows in damp conditions, this is a sign that you need to get to the source.

Mold can be found almost everywhere, but you are most at risk for illnesses when you live in a building that is prone to mold. Indoor mold can affect the structural integrity of a building, as well as the overall quality of your living space. A good place to begin is to eliminate the moisture source that is causing the mold.

The more time you spend in a building where you are exposed to mold, the more likely you are to develop an allergic reaction. Mold-induced illnesses can range from a mild case of hay fever to a more serious condition such as pneumonia.

spencer reid x reader

synopsis; where spencer’s working on the final paper for his third phd meanwhile you take on the task of making sure he takes a break.

warnings; smut, p in v, unprotected sex, creampie, sub!spence if you squint, nipple piercings;),

a/n; i’m not saying this is my fantasy but .. this is my fantasy,, inspired by this song, y’all know the drill. you don't have to listen while reading but i always love to set the vibe. lastly y/n doesn't have any mentioned features or looks besides piercings/tattoos,, the rest is all up to you:)

pls send in feedback!

***

A shiver crawled down your spine from the first squirt of dye hitting your scalp. The bubblegum pink shade being a change from the firey red which inhabited your head a mere 24 hours prior.

The process was muscle memory at this point. Brushing out your hair then parting and sectioning it off. However that was the only methodical part. The fun was in slapping on the dye, not a single worry about staining your hands or neck.

The sounds of heavy drums and bass guitar bounced off the walls in the bathroom of the small apartment. Even though the door was shut it wasn't enough to stop the sound from flowing into the living room where your boyfriend was working.

Spencer sat at the dining table, flipping through copious amounts of folders and books. His third thesis in the process of being written. The computer screen in front of him looking back with a mocking glow. Since apparently things had to be digital now.

Your feet padding on the wooden floor made him look up from the pages. Humming to the music as you walked into your bedroom. Then back out a few seconds later holding a towel and robe.

A small smile tugged across his face. Ever since you had moved in together he loved to watch your day to day actions. The way you played your music concerningly loud, your skincare routine which included cleaning your facial piercings. What fascinated him the most was that in the 13 months you’d been together he’d seen you dye your hair 7 times.

Not including any touch ups.

He stood from his place at the table, making his way to the bathroom. Two quick rasps on the door to check if you were decent. The action made you giggle.

“Come in!” you called, “I don’t know why you knock weirdo you’ve seen me naked plenty of times.”

A blush spread across his cheeks from both your words and your state of undress. His eyes tried to focus on the splotches of color on the counter, keeping the blood flowing to the head on his shoulders.

But it was hard when the sheer bralette you had on did very little to hide the metal bars in each of your breasts.

“Spence?” you said snapping a fingers in front of him.

He cleared his throat, eyes snapping to your face which held a smirk.

“Are uh those n-new?” he questioned, hand going to scratch the nape of his neck.

The usual silver balls at the end of the bars were now tiny jewell hearts. The color was a little hard to tell due to the material of your bra but from the change in your hair he could almost bet money they were also pink.

With swift hands you unclipped your bra and threw it on the closed toilet seat before turning to face him.

“Got them when I bought the dye yesterday,” you said pushing your boobs up with your hands, “You like?”

Spencer’s eyes were as big as saucers, frantically nodding, “Y-yeah they look nice.”

You dropped your hands to your hips, tugging off the shorts you had on. The wide brown eyes before you couldn’t get any bigger, trailing down your frame stopping to admire the bar in your belly button along with the ink which littered your ribs.

He watched as you got to your knees, turning on the bath faucet. You dipped your head under the water, a stream of pink filling the tub.

The slope of your spine bent over was a sight he'd seen more than enough times. He could pinpoint the beauty marks on your left shoulder, the small sun he sketched which ended up permanently on the back of your neck. But if he let his gaze drift a little further south he could see how deliciously the dark lace looked barley covering up your most intimate parts.

A smack to his calf got his attention.

“Earth to Spencer! Can you hand me the shampoo,” you asked which came out sounding a bit muffled.

He quickly scurried to the tub and reached over to grab the bottle, squeezing a bit of gel onto your open palm.

"I'm gonna go work on my thesis some more," Spencer said slowly shutting the door behind him.

Making his way back to the living room, he pulled a few files and sat down on the couch. Glasses sat on the bridge of his nose and red pen between his teeth and he stared in concentration.

They were the same words he had read over and over again. The lack of sleep causing a dull ache in his skull.

"You need to take a break love," you said walking over and sitting next to Spencer on the couch.

"I did take one," he argued back flipping through the file.

"Gawking at me before I shower for 2 minutes isn't a break," you said with a giggle, the warmth flooding back to his cheeks, "Cmon 25 minutes at least without a file in your hand. "

When he didn't respond you took matters into your own hands. Ripping the file from his grasp, earning a grumble of disapproval before you straddled his hips. Your arms circled his neck and your hands went straight to the back of his scalp, fingertips running in soothing motions.

"Isn't this so much better baby," you asked whispering in his ear.

He nodded quickly, staying silent as he let his actions speak louder. His large palms went right to your plush hips. Bucking up as he led you to grind yourself on his lap.

Letting his hands explore the material of your satin rope he could feel the lack of undergarments on your frame. Spencer dared to let his hands dip under the black fabric and take each one of your cheeks in the palm of your hand with a gentle squeeze.

You could feel his cock stiffening under you. If you looked down you'd probably be able to see a wet spot on his sweats, most likely a mix of your arousals.

Leaning forward you let your lips attack his neck, placing sloppy kisses sure to leave marks. The process of licking and biting making Spencer hold onto you tighter, almost as if he had his very own vampire to mark him up.

Trailing up to his ear you bit on the lobe before whispering, "Tell me what you need baby."

Lust filled brown orbs met your own as you each continued your steady grind.

"Please fuck me," he pleaded.

If only he knew how wrapped around his finger you were. As pretty as he sounded begging you'd give him anything.

You pulled the metal frames off his face, tossing them to the other side of the couch. He had complained one too many times about foggy glasses during sex. No matter how cute you thought he looked.

Your hands slid down his torso and reached to pull down his sweats. His precum soaked length was heavy in your hands. Pretty pink tip leaky and throbbing already. The first few pumps had whiny moans slipping from his lips, red from biting so hard.

"Unwrap me baby, it's all for you," you said tilting your head down, motioning to the strings holding your robe together.

Quickly he let his slender fingers go to the ends, a swift tug and it was like opening a gift on Christmas. Leaning forward he let his lips wrap around one of your nipples. A strangled moan leaving your mouth from the stimulation.

With a raise of your hips you lined his cock with your opening before sliding down. You both sighed at the same time, the feeling of him stretching you out and your warm walls hugging his length was just too good.

Slowly you rocked your hips testing the waters, soft gasps and curses left your lips. You could feel very vein and inch stuffed inside you.

Spencer on the other hand was having an out of body experience, there wasn't an inch of your skin which was left untouched. Unkissed. After you were settled he raised his hips meeting you halfway with each thrust.

"You're doing so well baby," you cooed down at him, "You love when I ride you hm? Best fucking seat in the house."

His eyes shut closed in pleasure as your pace quickened, "Love it so much. So so pretty," he mumbled out.

His arms pulled you close again. Chest to chest as you continued your movements. Your lips met in a lazy kiss, panting in each others mouths when you ran out of air.

You could feel him pulsating inside you. The iron grip he had on your hips as he helped drive you up and down on his cock was sure to feel sore the next day. His shoulders were sure to have corresponding crescent marks from your nails digging in.

"Touch me Spence m'so close love," you said breathlessly.

One of his hands fell down to the space where you both connected. Skilled fingers rubbing your sensitive bundle of nerves in quick circular motions.

Loud moans escaped your lips. Your head fell back to the familiar junction of his neck and shoulder, biting the skin in order to stifle your noises of pleasure.

"Y/n I can't hold it any longer, please cum with me," he whimpered out.

Nodding your head you grabbed onto the back of his neck, "Right behind you baby. Let go for me, I got you."

With a few more upward thrusts you felt him pull you down onto his cock, warmth spreading in your tummy. The feeling of his seed filling you up and his euphoric groans sent you over the edge.

You both rode out your orgasms, swiveling hips and satisfactory sighs of release leaving your lips.

After a few minutes of content silence listening to the music still flowing through the hall you moved to get up, the sticky mess between your thighs less than comfortable.

Warm arms kept you in place, denying your movement.

"Spence I gotta clean up," you said trying to push yourself off his chest.

"If I remember correctly you said at least 25 minutes and from my calculations I have 3 minutes and 38 seconds left of cuddle time," the lanky man under you said matter of factly.

You rolled your eyes, sighing but resting your head back on his shoulder, "If I get a UTI thats 3 minutes and 38 seconds of me playing screamo in your ear at full volume."

With one last squeeze he kissed the side of your head, the scent of ammonia only sightly bothering him, "Worth it."

They were friends for a long time before it happened and they kinda gave it a test run with some fake dating and also like they did save each other’s lives during the battle of hogwarts. They’ve seen every side of each other and still are in love so

Remus Lupin and the Prisoner of Azkaban--- Chapter 7: Promises

Ao3 link

Chapter 1 / Chapter 2 / Chapter 3 / Chapter 4 / Chapter 5 / Chapter 6 / Chapter 7 / Chapter 8 / Chapter 9 / Chapter 10 / Chapter 11 / Chapter 12 / Chapter 13 / Chapter 14 / Chapter 15 / Chapter 16 / Chapter 17 / Chapter 18 / Chapter 19 / Chapter 20 / Chapter 21 / Chapter 22 / Chapter 23 / Chapter 24 / Chapter 25 / Chapter 26 / Chapter 27 / Chapter 28 / Chapter 29 / Chapter 30 / Chapter 31 / Chapter 32 / Chapter 33 / Chapter 34

Remus’ heart seemed to simultaneously squeeze and flip-flop painfully as he stood frozen. Just watching. He couldn’t help it. He knew it wasn’t James the moment the stunned thought had shot across his mind. James was dead. Remus and his heart knew this; Remus and his heart had seen his body and Lily’s as they were extracted from the wreckage of their home that Halloween, after Harry had been already taken away. His heart still felt the sinking hurt at the realization of the misidentification, but that was soon overwhelmed with a different ache. My god, it was Harry. Little, cheerful, chubby legged, chatty, giggly Harry.

There had been a picture of Harry in the Prophet the previous year, sort of. It had included Gilderoy Lockhart, the photographic image of which kept stepping into center frame and flourishing with a dashing grin, while Harry’s mini doppleganger kept furtively trying to duck out all together. But this was different. The living, moving memory of Harry had always been of a little toddler, bowlegged and pudgy with ever reaching hands and an infectious laugh. He loved to be held upside down. He called carrots ‘kets’. He demanded to be tickled upon the entry of a new adult into his house. Remus’ breath caught in his chest as this new image tried to reconcile itself with the baby he knew.

The boy was short and far too thin, but the wild flare of his hair and point to his nose was unmistakable as James. James’ father was obvious in the tilt of his eyebrows when he concentrated, as he was now, over some parchment on the table beside the sundae in front of him and he saw Lily’s sharpness in his gaze. Something in him needed, fiercely, savagely, and newly, to protect him, swelling within his chest with an insistent purpose he didn’t know the source of. He wanted desperately to demand to know how he was being treated, how much he was being fed, if he had any questions, if he needed someone to tell him he was loved and valued and everything that any of them had ever wanted. To tell him that he was so sorry, that it was supposed to be different, that he had wanted so desperately to be there for him, with him. He felt the yawn of all that time behind them both, a sort of synchrony building between each year until it was almost a heartbeat as he counted them out; alone, alone alone, alone…. It should not have been this way for him. Sirius, how COULD you.

Harry chewed on his lip, shoved his glasses farther up his nose and scratched something out with his quill. A painful pride bloomed like some kind of too-hot flower somewhere beneath his ribs. Proud of him for just existing, just trying, so young. Remus had the suspicion that Harry could have just sat there and picked his nose and he would have felt as if he was about to be reduced to tears by the fact that he was here, being, living.

The door behind him chimed, startling him out of his daze and he moved aside for the mother of the young toddlers. They all looked satisfied, but the little girl shot him a suspicious stare as her mother carried her past that stuck a lump in his throat. All he could see now was Lily and Harry. With one last glance at the boy, who was chewing absently on the end of his quill and stirring his ice cream, he left. Harry did not know him. Chocolate in his pocket and a sudden loss of his urge to wander, he returned to his room in the Leaky Cauldron to spend the evening alone.

The morning of the train ride dawned altogether too soon after he’d gone to sleep, in his opinion, morning birds punctuating the excited hubbub inside and outside the pub. Despite his excitement, his dreams had been plagued by visions of baby Harry and grown Harry together, weeping in the wreckage of Hogwarts before both turning to him with Sirius’ scalding, monstrous eyes. He very consciously and adamantly refused to take that as any sort of omen. Stomach refusing even the suggestion of breakfast, he made his bed, swept up his room, and packed up his meager belongings before levitating the suitcase downstairs. He had donated his kettle to a local charity before he had left for London and could fit all the robes he owned into the case, but his joints and ligaments saw fit to remind him that the Change was merely days away and he had done an exceptional amount of walking and standing the past few days and he ached. Still, he thanked Tom and the cleaning witch warmly before he left for King’s Cross, where he, unfortunately, could not levitate his things any longer.

In his heart of hearts, he was bouncing just the same as he had been, all those years ago, when he had learned he would be able to attend the school that his father had always talked about with such fondness. The fear had set in later, when he had seen the doubt on his mother’s face, the worry that he would be discovered, that he would be forced out by his peers and their parents if it ever came to light what he was. In the meeting that Dumbledore had visited their private little cottage for, the Headmaster, smiling over his half moon glasses, had asked her to trust him. That same quiet terror percolated quietly now in the back of his head, in the pit of his stomach; that no matter what he did or how hard he tried, the moment his secret got out it wouldn’t matter. They would hate him. Fear him. But Dumbledore had kept his word and Remus had never been exposed while at Hogwarts. And so Remus was going to continue what he had started all those years ago; he would keep trusting Dumbledore.

His joy was still there. The joy and expectations and excitement and nerves and enchantment were all simmering in the pit of his stomach in a welcome change of sensation from the usual emotions he had grown accustomed to. But the growing full moon symptoms and nightmare hounded night had left him so damn tired that all he wanted to do was find somewhere away from the huge, echoing train station and sleep. Still, he smiled as he passed through the barrier between platforms and the great scarlet steam engine loomed before him. For a moment– just a moment– he was a teenager again, mother and father following behind him, James and Sirius lurking somewhere nearby to pull the first prank of the year, possibly on him, and Peter just out of sight, valiantly trying to be too cool for his mother’s slightly overbearing affections. The year was sprawled out before all of them, sweet and full of countless choices, all of them fun.

The warmth and light of those memories left him colder with their recession and he rubbed his arms briskly, as if that were the problem. As if it were something he could fix. A seat. Just get a seat. One thing at a time.

The smell of the train, of the grease and wood paneling and pristine carpet and fresh laundry smell of the seats uncranked a knot of tension in his gut he hadn’t even known he had. Oh, how he missed this. He had always loved this part. Though he knew it was autumn, his heart felt like spring because beginnings happened in this place. New years, friends, stories, lives. Sometimes, entirely different people left this train than the ones who had entered it.

It was nearly empty for now, for he had arrived early enough to beat the crowds, but the trolley witch trundled down the corridor, sweets on hand already. “Anything from the trolley, dear?”

He smiled, shook his head mutely. Nothing would come. It was almost too much. She nodded understanding and turned to go, but not before looking over her shoulder and adding, “It’s good to have you back again, my dear.” Chuckling a little at the look on his face, she said, “I remember all my children, boy.” And she was gone.

Eyes misty, quavering smile seemingly locked into place on his lips, he drifted down the train corridor in an overwhelming wave of nostalgia, chose a car at random and collapsed into his seat. He was glad it was still empty. What a terrible first impression as a Professor he would make, weeping.

#ficlet #i can't believe i'm on chapter 7??? i know they're not super long but #also i'd be curious to know what people's favorite chapter is so far if you have one #my stuff #remus lupin and the prisoner of azkaban #also holy shit you guys next chapter I'll be caught up and we'll officially be running parallel to the book!!

Taggetytagtag

DoBrought up by the freaking awesome and strong @nachodiablo

Rules: Answer all questions, add one question of your own and tag as many people as there are questions.

1. Coke or Pepsi: Diet Coke in a glass of ice or a can or a bottle or a fountain or anywhere, always. “Is Pepsi okay?” is probably the worst sentence in all of human history.

2. Disney or Dreamworks: Disney Renaissance (90s kid)

3. Coffee or tea: Coffee. I want to like tea, but it’s leaf water. And drinking it tastes like hot leaves. I try and I try and yet still...clogged pool filter in a cup.

4. Books or movies: Books. Books, I’ve never seen so many books in all my life. Best weapons in the world. But seriously in 2016 I read 42 books - didn’t quite get to my 52 I had hoped for as my upper goal, but far surpassed the 25 I had planned.

5. Windows or mac: Mac since birth. Born with my dad getting me a tiny apple jumper as he used the old timey rainbows apple with the startup OS face.

6. DC or Marvel: Marvel characters are deeper and more interesting, especially because I WANT to like Wonder Woman but every single writer just changes her backstory and nothing is consistent and I hate that. X-Men are my favorite because it’s embracing difference in an exclusive, bigoted world.

7. X-box or Playstation: I wasn’t allowed to play video games because my parents thought they would make me violent so now I’m WOEFULLY AWFUL at them. But does Wii Lego games count? Because I really like Wii Lego Harry Potter. I know. I know. But it’s actually adorable. I also play Wii Lego LOTR and Batman and Star Wars (but SW one sucks).

8. Dragon age or Mass effect: Er...what.

9. Night owl or early riser: I do better working at night because I like to have an hour or so to wake up. So if I leave at 9 I get up at 6:30 so I can drink coffee and blink awake and watch a tv show before doing chores and getting ready.

10. Cards or chess: Cards - more for the memories that accompany them and because I’m hellishly impatient for Chess.

11. Chocolate or vanilla: Vanilla not because I’m vanilla but because chocolate can either be overwhelming or when in ice cream doesn’t taste like chocolate? Like why? It tastes like mystery brown flavor and I’m not into that.

12. Vans or converse: Converse for life. Black. With doodles on the white parts. Quotes and drawings. Being a cool kid way past the age I could pull it off (since I never could). I also have a blue pair that I drew the TARDIS on during the DW fanvolution but now don’t wear because they don’t match.

13. Lavellan, Trevelyan, Cadash, or Adaar: I feel dumb. I don’t know what these are.

14. Fluff or angst: Angsty fluff. Like when the angst drenches your soul and in the darkest moment someone says the right thing that no one in real life has ever said to you and it’s like a sweet sweet salve.

15. Beach or forest: Forest. I hate sand. I’m stupid annakin. And deep in my heart of hearts I’m still the wolf girl I was at 13 where I wore braces and boys jeans and tie dyed wolf t-shirts and braids in my hair with a bunch of friendship bracelets and wanted to be a psychic dragon rider or be raised by sentient wolves. So in the end...it’d be untrue to my nature (and to my secret shame wolf patronus) to not say forest where I used to dream of running away and finding my true pack.

16. Dogs or cats: I have two greyhounds (Fred & George), and a cat - Gandalf. That way I can introduce the bunch as Gandalf (and) the Greyhounds. Yeah. I’m serious. PM me for picture proof or check out insta @greyhoundgeorge

17. Clear skies or rain: Rain when I have nowhere to BE. If I can stay home and eat hot popcorn and drink cold water and snuggle on a couch under the blankets and put on an old movie or quiet film scores and pick up a book I want to read all in one go. That’s a little corner of heaven right there. But clear skies if I am going out to do something - if I’m doing something stressful and knowing I can go outside after to let the sun drench into the skin of my face and smile and take a breath and get a cold diet coke and congratulate myself on being brave and finishing out.

18. Cooking or eating out: Depends. Depends on how lazy I am and how broke I am and how hungry I am. I like cooking when I’m really hungry because then I can personalize everything to my own tastes and having leftovers I know will be yummy later. When I eat out/order take out I’m eating it all. Don’t be foolish.

19. Spicy food or mild food: Spicy food. Make my nose rain. I once drank a bowl of salsa in a Mexican restaurant. Like in Beauty & the Beast. Bowl to my mouth. Drank it down. My sisters hissed at me to stop. It was so good. So I drank theirs too.

20. Halloween/samhain or solstice/yule/christmas: Solstice, Yule, ***Christmas*** I am so into Christmas. I’m the dumbass that starts listening to carols too early in November. I’m wearing sweaters and sweating. I’m getting my peppermint hot chocolate. I’m the one viciously stalking that Christmas feeling that seems to get farther and farther away the older you get. Because I want it to last forever. I want to make sure my little sisters never lose it.

21. Would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot: Too cold. I’m already hot all the time. It’s hell. And I sweat through my clothes and that’s embarrassing and uncomfortable. At least when I’m cold people feel pity for you. When you’re hot all the time everyone looks at you like a freak.

22. If you could have a superpower, what would it be: Hallucination/Projection. I’d be called “Storyteller” or “Story” and if I wanted you to think you were on a beach in Aruba, you would really see and feel it. I would be able to travel for free, protect myself through a veneer, and never have to harm anyone. And I could taste all food however I wanted even if it was just celery. I could look how I want to look, dress how I want to dress, make my world the reality I want.

23. Animation or live action: Live action. I think the nuances of character actors and their expressions bring something to a film that evokes a sympathetic response in the brain that cannot (currently) be copied in animation.

24. Paragon or renegade: Again. I’m a silly person who has no idea what this is.

25. Baths or showers: SHOWERS. Hot showers. Baths - like tea - are just stewing in dirt. In your own dirt. In a tub where you get to look at your knees and rest your wet head against the hard tile. Ew.

26. Team cap or team ironman: Captain America forever. Stucky and Steggy forever.

27. Fantasy or sci-fi: Fantasy at my heart of hearts. It appeals to my wolfgirl nature. But I’m an equal opportunist and love Sci Fi. Just watch out for those weird 1950s fantasy/sci fi crossovers about colonizing planets cuz those get WEIRD.

28. Do you have three or four favourite quotes, if so what are they:

"Do small things with great love.” - Mother Teresa

“Courage, dearheart.” - C.S. Lewis

“Don’t worry. Don’t worry. Look up at the ceiling and breathe with those curiously fragile lungs and remind yourself don’t worry. All as it was meant to be. It was meant to be lonely, and terrifying, and unfair, and fleeting. Don’t worry.” - Welcome to Nightvale

29. Youtube or netflix: Netflix or Amazon Video yo

30. Harry Potter or Percy Jackson: Yeahhhh see I was too old when PJ came out. My youngest sister was reading it and even she thought it was under her age level. So HARRY POTTER FOREVER FOOLS. I mean, I cannot stress how much our family loves HP. We had a year when my youngest sister turned 11 she had a welcome to Hogwarts party in March, my family surprised me with a Horcrux Hunt 17th birthday Coming of Age in April, and my other sister turned 14 and got a Triwizard Cup party in May. My Mom listens to HP on Audible every night before bed. She can literally quote the first book word for word. We went to HP Wizarding World in FL before it opened on special passes when I was 19. If my mother wouldn’t murder us, our entire family would have matching HP tattoos. I write Marauders book fanfiction for my entire family to read and critique. We have sorted ourselves and own everything in our respective houses (a split R/G family). It’s our dream to go to Leaky Con together. We all have complete uniforms. Not just the robes. All of it. We know all the spells, have played all the dumb computer 2001 games and Wii games and Pottermore before it was lame and basically omg. HP FOR LIFE. (or LOTR).

31. When you feel accomplished: When someone acknowledges I saw the problem and solution immediately but everyone else tried a bunch of things first and eventually realized I was right. #INTJ

32. Star Wars or Star Trek: I am very into both, and both my sisters have hard core taken a position on each camp. But if I had to choose, I would say Star Trek because of the massive cultural shift it caused, especially in featuring multi-racial characters and women in positions of science and power.

33. Paperback books or hardback books: Paperback if I’m reading it the first time and Idk if i’ll like it but then I want hardback (leatherbound tbh) of everything I’ve ever loved and read for my library I want to own like in B&B.

34. Horror or rom-com: Ughhhhhhhh both suck. But I only like cerebral horror (like Sixth Sense) or intellectual horror (like Hannibal) because physical horror (torture), gross horror (teeth losing and pus), jump horror (basic) really aren’t interesting to me so I GUESS I’ll say rom-com.

35. TV shows or movies: TV shows streaming so I can binge them. Yep.

36. Favorite animal: Tigers! I’m so into tigers and know so much about them. The ONLY tiger fact I’ll bore you with right now is that lion roars are much shallower due to being lighter weight with less lung capacity so for the Lion King whenever the lions roar, it’s actually tiger roars to sound more macho.

37. Favorite genre of music: Alt rock or indie - coldplay, mumford, snow patrol, frank turner, damien rice, the wonder years, etc.

38. Least favorite book: I know people are really into it now, but when I read it A Separate Peace sucked balls and everyone agreed. Also I once read this terribly written horror book Neverwhere. Actually I’ve read several such poorly written books that it honestly gives me hope that I can be an author if these dingbats can.

39. Favourite season: Winter before Christmas

40. Song that’s currently stuck in your head: Help by the Beatles

41. What kind of pyjama’s do you wear: Old t shirt (usually huge) and pj pants or shorts

42. How many existential crisis do you have on an average day: Lol so many. Depends on the day. More like “my life is confusing and I have no idea what’s happening and everything is a chain reaction that hasn’t begun and I’m holding my breath praying for a fallout that’s marginally okay.”

43. If you can only choose one song to be played at your funeral, what would it be: “Penny Lane,” by the Beatles

44. Favourite theme song to a TV show: Buffy the Vampire Slayer or (honestly) Magic School Bus or Jimmy Neutron

45. Harry Potter movies or books: Books, where the inaccuracies aren’t too many to count

46. Favorite traditional food from your family: Tamales

47. Favorite decade from 1900-now: 1990s. But only 90s kids remember the 90s.

48. Worst habit? Thinking I can do it all.

49. Teach an old person to use the internet or stay for a week with a kid stuck in the “why” phase?: Kids. I love kids. Why phases are great. Sometimes I never outgrew mine, and adults always brush them off without actually taking time to explain why satisfactorily. 50. Who’s your favorite painter?: Claude Monet.

51. Favourite flower?: Roses (trite) or bluebonnets.

52. Boots or sneakers?: Sneakers now - boots in fall.

53. Abroad or at home?: Home if I could magically go back in time when “home” was everything I wanted and not a place to visit my mom in my old room with no clothes or friends.

54. Planning or spontaneity? Planning! But occasional spontaneity.

55. Boxers or briefs? Boxers so that I can wear them as pajama shorts.

56. Hogwarts house? Better be...Gryffindor!

I’m not tagging 56 people, so if you’d like to do this, tag me so I can read them! If you don’t want to, then just enjoy learning more about me. If it’s more than you wanted to know (and it probably is) feel free to ignore.

My experience with Medklinn

Imma be up front about this. This is a collaborative post with Medklinn. I’ve heard the name Medklinn around for years but I actually didn’t know what they are or what they do. Well today let me tell you wtf.

When Medklinn first approached me to collaborate, I thought oh ok they sell air purifiers. I was all like nuh uh bro cos I already have three air filters in the house and I don’t need anymore.

But here comes the revelation *jeng jeng jeng*…. Medklinn is NOT an air purifier.

It’s an air + surface sterilizer.

An ordinary air purifier sucks in air, pushes it through their filter system, purifies it, and blows it out again. For best use, you will need to change the filters regularly – the carbon filters and the HEPA filters and the like. Which uhhh I have not been doing. :/ Changing filters is never on my mind and sometimes I keep the same filter for years which is worse cos the filters are basically grimy with dirt and germs and air is basically passed through it and pushed out again, dirtier than before.

*guilt*

Medklinn does not take in dirty air to be cleaned. (omg now I put it this way normal air purifiers sound like a special laundry service for air lolol *nerd*) Medklinn instead produces and emits something called Active Oxygen which neutralizes harmful particles and microorganisms in the air.

Active Oxygen is produced naturally in nature, through phenomena such as photosynthesis, moving water, UV rays, and thunderstorms. Using a special technology called Cerafusion, Medklinn units produce Active Oxygen to sterilize the air and surfaces in our homes and offices.

Active Oxygen is basically ozone, and negative ions like of O3 and O- . These molecules work in a few ways: by destroying harmful pollutants like viruses, bacteria, allergens and moulds, and by binding airborne particles like dust and spores together, causing them to fall to the surface.

Active Oxygen also oxidizes Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde, a cancer causing chemical. In the same way, it eliminates bad household smells from cigarettes, food, or pets.

Because Active Oxygen directly destroys and neutralizes all this nasty stuff, it also ends up cleaning any pollutants and allergens that are found on our surfaces – beds, tables, chairs etc., not just filtering the air.

Medklinn gifted me two units, which I’ve placed in my bedroom, and Fighter’s room for the past month. I thought that way would be the easiest to see results, since I have horrible sinus issues and Fighter gets so many colds and wheezing and running noses we worry he’ll develop asthma.

We were actually going for a two week trial period but I asked for a month to really test the efficacy of the products. I leave it on 24/7 and try not to open the windows, to keep the Active Oxygen in and pollutants out. It’s best to shut windows and doors for the best performance and to monitor results.

This is what it looks like. When it’s on, it emits a very slight buzzing sound that is not intrusive at all. There’s also a very distinctive ozone smell, which frankly reminds me of Mummy Ooi’s fish tank when I was growing up hahahahah. I don’t mind it.

After turning the Medklinn on, I more or less forgot about it and went on with life wtf. Emily, my blog manager asked me about two weeks into it, how? And I said er no difference la I still have running nose in the mornings and blocked nose at night before I sleep. And the week before, Fighter had a persistent running nose.

This week is the fifth week we’ve had Medklinn at home. I haven’t really had a blocked nose since then, although at night I need to clear my nose before I sleep, but could be due to dust I inhale when I’m outside.

Fighter hasn’t been sick since then. I normally need to use a cotton bud to clean his nose every few nights but his breathing has been clear so far. It could just be a lucky few weeks that he hasn’t encountered any germs, but within this five weeks, Penny has fallen sick twice. Both times with leaky noses and horrible coughs that lasted so long they overlapped. -_-

When one of them falls sick, the other confirm fall sick within days. Like when Fighter kena conjunctivitis, so did Penny within the week. But Fighter stood strong this time. No cross infection. :O

Tomorrow I’m going to move the one in my room to Penny’s room, and see monitor when she next falls sick.

But all in all, I am impressed with Medklinn! It’s so easy to use too; it’s small and portable, and even though it’s switched on 24/7, power consumption is low (less than 6.5watts). Maintenance is minimal; you change the cartridge annually. And no chemicals are involved.

The technology makes sense, and so far, the results are quite evident. With two small children in school, I deal with colds and other infections every few weeks. I myself have never fallen sick so many times in my life cos they keep passing bugs to me too. -_-

Especially with the HFMD scare that’s happening now! If any of them kena (TOUCH WOOD), I hope with our Medklinn, the virus will hopefully be contained and not pass to us la.

If you want to read up yourself about Medklinn, here are some links:

Toy manufacturer replaces reliance on sketchy magic with IoT

A large toy manufacturer located at the northernmost point of the planet must produce in excess of 2 billion toys* each year. To meet this incredible demand, it is critical to ensure operations, facility management, and worker safety are at optimum efficiency. To top it off, they must distribute all the toys in just one night due to peak seasonal demand! This can only be done with a combination of world-class operations technology, IoT, artificial intelligence, and a little bit of….magic?

We had the opportunity to sit down with the jolly team that runs this festive facility and discuss what makes it tick. Over an afternoon snack of milk and cookies, the team filled us in. Due to the sensitivity of operations, we were also asked to refrain from sharing the name of the organization or the employees. For this reason, we will simply use vivid descriptions of those involved and focus on the technology used.

The Chief Happiness Officer (CHO) inspecting toys in production.

Production is dependent on ‘asset’ health throughout the year

Demand can fluctuate pretty significantly for this toy manufacturer depending on the behavior of the 2 billion children (‘assets’) served. Luckily, the Chief Happiness Officer began implementation of an asset health score solution in 2017 that has enabled accurate tracking of vital behavior scores. This allows the workers, also known as the “Exceptional Labor Force” (ELF), to accurately determine which children are classified as “Naughty, Nice, or At Risk”. In the tool, each child is monitored for factors such as temperament, good deeds, weather conditions in their area, historical behavior issues, the SHARE (Social Happiness and Rejoicing Everyday) quota, and parental observations. Many of these factors are captured via the Internet of Things (IoT). Sensors are placed strategically throughout the home (i.e. the Star on the tree, stockings, and the yule logs) to accurately capture the required inputs.

Children earning points toward their SHARE quotas

Each aspect of the score is weighted to determine how critical it is in determining overall behavior. Scores are updated in real-time and provides the ELF with an accurate understanding of how many toys will be needed to meet demand. Parents also have the ability to log into the system on any mobile device to see if their child is at critical risk of being on the naughty list and what problem areas to address.

Well-maintained equipment brings tidings of joy

In addition to keeping the world’s most important assets healthy, the production equipment to produce this massive volume of toys must be monitored, maintained, and replaced to keep up with demand. Since the equipment takes such a beating year-round, the Wrench & Hammer League (WaH-WaHs) – an elite squad of the ELF – utilize the world’s leading enterprise asset management system for asset tracking and work order execution. They also utilize asset health scoring. But rather than monitoring temperament, they monitor temperature. Anything running hotter than a nice warm glass of hot cocoa requires immediate attention.

Workers looking to retire after hundreds of years of dedicated service

Unlike your average toy manufacturer, some of the workers of this facility have been employed here for hundreds of years! It’s quite remarkable when you think about it and far surpasses the industry average of 31 years. However, the unfortunate reality is that many are ready for retirement. Hundreds of years is a long time to be part of any craft guild, even one you are passionate about. Many of the ELF are ready to spend more time with their families, enjoying hot cocoa, singing, and eating candy canes in a tropical destination. The Chief Happiness Officer and his wife, the Chief Operations Officer, have been working on solutions to this problem.

A member of ELF taking a well-earned cocoa break

At the beginning of this year, they implemented an AI-powered maintenance assistant. This allows any ELF to operate like the best ELF. As new workers join the force, all of the knowledge of these highly experienced ELF’s is captured and available whenever an issue arises. This includes anything from the Etch-a-Sketch machine breaking down to a tangle in the doll hair braider and even to a repair on the sole distribution vehicle. Since this plant relies on only one distribution vehicle, a sleek red sleigh, and eight flight-certified reindeer, it is absolutely critical that it is operating at its best. Using artificial intelligence (AI), even an inexperienced (less than 300 years on the job) technician can accurately identify the right repair the first time.

Keeping safety at the forefront of the workshop environment

As production levels increase, so too does the potential for a safety incident. Luckily for this facility, they are able to get real-time updates on potential hazards. This has kept their safety record flawless and decreased infirmary visits by 24%. As the head of ELF safety states, “Fewer injuries keeps cheer high and limits LIABILITY (Love Instigating Anger by Inciting Little Impish Tinkering Yodelers).”

Building toys and incredible facilities

The facilities are really at the heart of this operation. There are a variety of buildings that make up this impressive enterprise, including:

Toy Workshops

Worker Housing

Reindeer Hanger

Bake Shop

Blacksmith

Candy Shop

Hat Maker

Post Office

Cocoa Cafes

Sleigh Valet

Ensuring each is optimized for space, energy usage, and maintenance, while keeping the financials in order, is a cumbersome task. For example, the typical day for a ELF involves a mix of strategy meetings, design presentations, toy output, and daily COOKIE (Cheerful Organization of Krampus Impeachment Echelon) meetings.

In 2016, the jolly old CHO noticed that toy demand was increasing and more space for assembly lines would be needed to enhance the scope of the facility. However, he had no real sense of how effectively his facilities were already being utilized. Did he need to lease a new building or was there enough unused space to make the addition? By implementing a facilities management solution, he was able to get a clear view of his space optimization. He noticed that the Candy Cane Lane conference rooms on each floor were in highest demand but the Snowball Bungalows – nap pods designed for those of short stature – were rarely utilized. He found that removing the bungalows would give him the square footage needed to expand his operations. The lease accounting team rejoiced!

At the same time, energy costs were skyrocketing and they couldn’t figure out where the problems were stemming from – or even which buildings were the energy zappers. Using IBM IoT Building Insights, they were able to identify that Cocoa Cafe 3 and Toy Workshop 7 were using significantly more energy than any of the others – due to leaky windows and excessive singing. Prioritizing these maintenance activities – and redirecting the cheerful tunes – cut costs by 28%. They also invested in LED lights for the trees in Christmas Tree Corridor and cut costs by a glaring 14% annually!

Even the most elfin of defects will not be tolerated

The magic of this operation really lies in the joy brought by the products crafted in the toy shop. To ensure the most important law is adhered to – “No Crying Children Left Behind” – toy quality is of utmost importance. There is nothing worse than giving a child on the Nice list a defective toy. All wise men (and women) know those are saved for the kids on the Naughty list.

To ensure quality remains something to rejoice over, this facility utilizes production optimization solutions to ensure that even the most elfin of defects is identified quickly. This replaced the old, manual system of each ELF shaking the toys as they came off the line to see if any parts came flying off. This was commonly known as the “Test Shake” – a practice widely used by children on Christmas morning. By mimicking it in production, disappointments were kept to a minimum. However, it was very time-consuming. Using AI and analytics, issues causing defects were reduced by 34% this year and production yields increased by 17%. Sweet sugarplums!

It came without ribbons, it came without bows

Gifts with IoT-enabled bows

Just kidding. The gifts all came beautifully wrapped with bows. And not just any bows. These bows were set with RFID (Reindeer Fleet Information Delivery) tags. Why tracking devices on gifts? Put simply, there had been incidents in the last several years of the wrong gift going to the wrong child. A pretty upsetting situation, as I’m sure you can imagine. By tagging toys with sensors and centralizing data through the Red NOSE (Network Optimized Sensor Engine), the CHO’s team could track these assets and, if a problem arose, there were teams in the skies on standby to fix.

He sees you when you’re sleeping….and tracks what kind of cookies you leave

Communication in the field is critical to successful distribution of this merry mission. Using a field force mobility solution, the CHO can view the map highlighting the work execution of the night. He can understand criticality of delivery, time constraints, and any special directions by household. He can make special notes after delivery for the future. For example, he can note which houses leave the best snacks. And which have angry dogs that he needs to bring extra treats for the following year. All of this is captured – improving accuracy, speed and agility of operations!

1700 years in business requires the ability to constantly adapt

As you can see, keeping this enterprise running at full speed requires constant innovation, digital transformation, dedicated employees, and….a little something extra. There is clearly something we can all learn from this operation nestled in the north.

To get started understanding how to improve your operations with IoT and AI, learn more today.

*Toy production loosely based on estimated Naughty/Nice index scoring

The Way to Deal with Residential Water Damage

Water might be crucial to human existence, but it can spell death for a house. Water damage may cause all kinds of a hassle for homeowners, both immediately after the damage happens and in the long term. From flooding to leaky faucets, water damage is a serious pain and can result in substantial health and security problems. Follow this manual to prevent, repair, and protect against water damage in your property.

Method1 EditFixing Up After a Flood 1 Stop the flow of water. If the flood was brought on by a burst pipe or a water heater failure, then shut off the water for your house. Get connected with a specialist immediately in case you can't tell from where the water is forthcoming. Two Turn off the power. If your house is flooded, cut off the gas and electricity from the primary source. This is not as essential for smaller leaks or puddles, but also for big floods turn off them to be secure. Do not handle electric appliances unless you're properly insulated. If you need to stand in water to switch off the main power, talk to an electrician. 3 Assess the harm. Before you start your cleaning effort, first ascertain if rebuilding is a rewarding choice. Take considerable photographs and other documentation to demonstrate that the insurance provider. 4 Rescue your valuable possessions. If it's possible, locate and eliminate your most important things in the flooded region, like heirlooms, cash, jewelry, etc.. Do not spend an excessive amount of time cleaning and extracting individual items, since the water is doing harm to your house. 5 Get rid of standing water. The longer the water stays, the more harm it will cause. The moment it's secure, pump out of any water. If you're coping with a pure flooding, wait to pump till the flood waters have receded under your home Wear appropriate protective equipment. When functioning at a calm area, make sure you wear rubber gloves, boots, and a mask or respirator. Keep children and pets away from some other position flood water, since it's often polluted. Place the pump in the bottom spot of the flooded floor. If the water is heavy, you might have to decrease the pump by means of a nylon rope. If managing a little bit of flood, you could have the ability to use a wet-dry store vacuum to remove the water. These generally just hold 4--5 bucks (15.1--18.9 L), which means you might end up draining it frequently.

6 Clean up debris. Be cautious, since there might be claws and other materials left behind by search engine optimization for water damage restoration companies. Mud left by flooding often have a substantial number of toxins. Shovel out as much mud as you can, and spray your walls down with fresh water. Be certain that you check for sand in air ducts, since it's going to be hazardous as it dries. Snakes and rats can find refuge in your house following a flooding 7 Allow appliances to air dry. Do not use any sockets or appliances till they have had sufficient time to fully dry. Check with every manufacturer for recommended actions. Method2 EditVanquishing Mold and Mildew 1 Detect the mould. Mold can be observable, but it could also grow in air ducts, crawl spaces, rafters, and between walls. If you can not find any mould, but you discover a noticeable musty soil smell, you probably have mold growth you can not view. Two Act immediately after finding water damage. Mildew and mould will start growing within 24-48 hours of exposure . It is going to immediately continue to grow till the moisture is totally eliminated and the mould is exterminated. 3 Turn off the power. If any wires or wiring are either wet or muddy, shut off the power before cleaning. Have an electrician analyze the wiring before turning the power back again. 4 Dry outside the Region. You are going to want to dry the moist or humid region as rapidly as possible to stop the mold from spreading. The more time you leave a room moist, the more inclined mould will form. Open the windows if humidity outside is lower than indoors. Use fans to remove moisture just if mold hasn't begun growing. Fans may spread mold spores into other places. Remove all wet things in the region, such as rugs, furniture, toys, etc.. Throw away any moldy carpeting. Mold will be nearly impossible to eliminate from the carpets. The other items may be washed and cleaned individually. Discard any contaminated food items. This implies anything not sealed in a watertight container. 5 Remove moisture from ceilings and walls. If the walls was water damaged by a flood, then you'll have to eliminate each the wet cloth, such as wood, insulation by-products, and whatever else porous. Drywall is remarkably porous and ought to be substituted in the soonest indication of water damage. Remove the wallboard into a foot above the watermark. You can empty walls by removing the baseboard and drilling holes to the ground. Make sure to look at the inside of the wall for any hidden mould development. 6 Size up the mould growth. If you're confronted with a substantial quantity of mold development, think about hiring cleaners. Mold is extremely poisonous when being washed, because bothering the mould will make it release spores. Make certain the area you're cleaning is well-ventilated. Always wear gloves, a mask or respirator, and eye protection.

7 Clean hard surfaces. Material like metal, solid timber, plastic, and glass ought to be washed with a non-ammonia soap and warm water. Use a stiff brush on rough surfaces like concrete. Use a wet-dry store vacuum to eliminate water. Disinfect all surfaces after cleansing using a 10% bleach solution. Permit the solution to remain on the surface for a minimum of 10 minutes before rinsing with sterile water or drying. 8 Clean porous stuff. Upholstered furniture, bedding, clothing, rugs, rugs, books, and much more are all porous products. If you can not decide whether to maintain a contaminated item or not, then err on the side of caution and toss it out. Clean the substance and then disinfect using a pine-oil cleanser. Allow the material dry thoroughly. Monitor the substance for many days following cleansing to get any fungal growth or scents. If mold returns, make certain to discard the merchandise. 9 Stop cleaning if you get started displaying symptoms of mold exposure. As soon as you begin feeling negative effects, stop what you're doing and consult with a professional cleaning services. Signs include: Breathing issues, including wheezing Sinus congestion Hacking cough Eye irritation, redness Bloody nose Rashes or Illness Headaches, memory reduction
