![]() ![]() ![]() As for me I love shows like this that leaves JUST enough out for the viewer to make them think and analyze about the episode they just saw. Its a show that you will either understand or not. But this is indeed a very intelligent, beautiful, and intriguing show. Overall this show crams so much information and dialog to the viewers its easy to say that its not for everyone. But Horo and Lawrence are still quite memorable throughout the whole show. ![]() The character animations aren't as greatly skilled as the background and static animations but it does hold a medium-high quality at best. Everything about the artwork screams perfection and is easily one of the best artwork I've laid my eyes on. Even all the guild halls and churches have a massive feel to them. You can see all the painstaking detail it took for all the artists to draw all the settings of the medieval towns, each cobble stone looks different from each other, the stained glass is painted with perfect care. This show is best shown on HD resolution definitely. The last component that brings this whole show to masterpiece status is the artwork. But they never interfere with the dialog at all which I enjoy the most. Crickets chirp at night, flames flicker and click, they're all of high quality. Environmental sound effects are just as what you would expect after hearing the beautiful strings and artwork. I never knew so many emotions can come out of just a group of strings. Who ever composed all of the background music must be one of the best composers I've ever heard. Its basically consists of a string quartet. Their voices emit their emotions perfectly and the background music just makes this show so much more elegant and beautiful. Lawrence and Horo are the only main characters of the show so having a good chemistry between them was key but also having a strong seiyu cast for those two is another reason why this show is addicting. Its very refreshing to see an anime that actually takes time to explain things to the point that you are convinced enough to believe the situation at hand. Those who cant figure out the small things, the subbers (ayako) were nice to place side notes for every episode. Although little background details are left out for time constraints, viewers with an open mind can understand most of the unmentioned side stories. Theres no 'voice in the head' in this anime, all their thoughts and ideas go between each other and nothing is never left out. And its safe to say this is because how Horo and Lawrence feed off each others energies so well that you almost feel like you're right there arguing with Horo. ![]() Luckily this show does it very well, almost perfect. If theres going to be alot of dialog an my anime it better at least intelligent and make sense. And so the adventure begins.īeing a story about trading goods there is bound to be alot of dialog between bartering, negotiating, trading information and the chemistry between Horo and Lawrence. And it just happens that Lawrence Kraft befriends this god and he soon finds out that she just wants to go home. Through his travels he entrusted a small heretic town that believed in a wolf god named Horo that watched over their crops. And that is the main goal of our main character Lawrence Kraft. for investing in certain things to turn a profit. Since it is set in such archaic times it would be a perfect fit to have an anime about merchant trading.Įver since i was in middle school I used to play video games with trading and how prices rise and fall from location to location and how supply and demand and even risk margins A time when the word of the catholic church was more important than anything else and anyone else was deemed a witch or heretic. In essence, its about a story about merchant trading during medieval times. Wolf and spice can be summed up fairly easily. ![]()

She sees death and destruction all around her and her reaction, even after it's crystal clear that she's the only one with any power to do anything about it, constantly boils down to, "This is your problem. She only does the right thing when it either affects her directly or when she's guilted into it. Even as people are suffering around her and the world is driven deeper in peril, Frey will frequently wave it off with "It's not my problem" and it makes her totally unlikable. It certainly does do that well enough, because for about 80 percent of the adventure, Frey will constantly bemoan her situation to the point that she comes across as one of the whiniest protagonists I've encountered in a minute. ![]() Of course, the opening scene in New York is good for establishing Frey's motivation. The first chapter eats up nearly a half hour and ultimately doesn't add anything, introducing characters that won't be seen again, establishing a setting that the player isn't going to revisit. Does that sound interesting? Well, don't get too invested, because that aspect of the story is never visited again. She's ultimately shown leniency by the judge, but it doesn't erase the trouble that she's in with some bad people. Players are introduced to a wayward homeless youth who gets caught up with the wrong crowd and is frequently in trouble with the law. There are several problems with Forspoken's narrative and it starts with the establishment of Frey's place in New York. It's a story that should be captivating, but one that never fully gripped me for various reasons. After learning that the cuff can both talk to her and grant her extraordinary abilities, she ventures to a nearby village where she learns that she may be this world's only hope. She finds a strange cuff in a pawn shop and is magically transported to the realm of Athia, an alternate dimension that is gradually being decimated by a twisted force called the Break. Can't go home againįorspoken tells the story of an everyday woman living in the streets of New York, struggling with her day-to-day existence. There's a foundation for something good here, but it sadly doesn't realize that potential. It's a shame, because Forspoken's terrible story and its unlikable main character largely bog down what's otherwise a competent action RPG. The result is a story that isn't anything close to Mark Twain. That's why the idea of Forspoken interested me so much, because the premise was to take a modern person from the real world and thrust them into a Square Enix-style magical kingdom, sort of like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. ![]() It's the house that built Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and curates many other magic-based realms.

That was how my mom cooked black chickens, and the soup, as my mom claimed, had great curative value. The traditional way (that I know) of cooking black chicken is by way of Sibot soup, which uses a mixture of 4 or 5 Chinese herbs in the soup. Apparently, they have less calories, fat and cholesterol, and they have more anti-oxidants, protein, vitamin B and minerals! They are considered generally healthier (to the consumer) than regular chickens. They are prized in Chinese cooking for their curative or healing value. It is more obvious when the chickens been dressed for selling because it is rather obvious, as I saw in the specialty markets that carry them, on the rare occasion that I find them. They are black because their skin, beaks, innards, bones, flesh are almost black in color. In fact, I’ve seen a couple of live ones and they had white “furry” feathers. To rehash the intro I wrote 7 years ago, silkie chickens, also known as black chickens, are so-called not because their feathers are black. The last time I made black chicken soup was a good 7 years ago! But I do remember that my mom made it quite regularly when my siblings and I were kids. ![]() (#313 in the limited series: cooking/baking in the time of the coronavirus quarantine) ![]() ![]() ![]() According to a Vedic legend, after coming out of a deep meditation for the betterment of humanity, Lord Shiva shed a single tear which grew into the form of a Rudraksha tree. Rudraksha seeds are sacred to Lord Shiva. In order to keep track of repetitions, I recommend using a Rudraksha mala. You want to repeat a mantra a minimum of 108 times this is normally one of the first things I do in the morning as part of my daily spiritual practice. Spiritual evolution normally occurs over the course of many lifetimes, as we learn, evolve and grow as spiritual beings, as we discover who we truly are, but this process can be hastened through the proper application of sacred mantras such as Om Namah Shivaya in conjunction with the practice of yoga.Īs is the case with all affirmations, you need three things in order to use a mantra effectively: Dancing With Shiva, Satguru Subramuniyaswami ![]() As all drops of rain eventually unite with the ocean, it is the destiny of each jiva to merge back into Shiva.” Each of us is a jiva, or evolving soul, on the path to merging with Shiva. All the 330 million Gods of Hinduism are beings of high evolution, created by and rooted in Shiva. ![]() "Lord Shiva is the Supreme Being, the God of gods. In his book, Dancing with Shiva, he says: This man built an ashram, a temple, in Kauai that I had the honor of visiting and wrote many books about Lord Shiva and various aspects of yoga. Through the grace of his mantra, you will see his presence in the trees and animals, in all forms of life, from the smallest ant, to mankind, to the angels and gods in Heaven.Ī man named Satguru Subramuniyaswami, a self-realized sage who dedicated his life to Lord Shiva sums it up pretty well. His primordial energy is present in every aspect of creation he is the pure consciousness that pervades the Universe and he is that very same consciousness that is present within each of us. However, Lord Shiva’s true nature is formless and limitless. He has countless names and forms, and in some interpretations, his name literally means, “one who can kill the forces of darkness.” While he is epitome of benevolence, especially to those who are devoted to him, he’s known to relentlessly slay evil in all its forms. He looks after lost souls and aids in their evolution, life after life. ![]() He is the God of rogues, vagabonds and misfits. As the famous yogi and mystic Sadhguru mentions, Lord Shiva is the Adiyogi or first yogi everything we know about yoga comes from him. In his bodily form, Lord Shiva is known as a yogi and ascetic who lives atop Mount Kailash with his wife Parvati and sons, Lord Ganesh and Murugan. You can never go wrong with this mantra, for it calls upon Lord Shiva, the Destroyer, the God of gods. There are countless mantras out there, but Aum Namah Shivaya is the foundational mantra of Shaivism, the world’s oldest religion. Hindu mantras are powerful vibrations, they are quite literally the manifestations of deities in the form of sound. In totality, Om Namah Shivaya represents Lord Shiva’s oneness with the five elements and underscores the underlying truth that we are all one - that the universal consciousness behind all of creation is one. When spelled A-U-M, aum, also signifies the three states of the Universe/three aspects of God: creation, preservation and destruction. It signifies the ultimate reality, consciousness and Atman or soul that’s within all of us. Om - The sacred syllable and primordial vibration from which the entire universe arose. This mantra is referenced in a variety of yogic texts and hymns dating back thousands of years ago and has guided many souls through the cycle of birth and death. Om Namah Shivaya translates to “Salutations to Lord Shiva, the auspicious one” and pays reverence to one of the threefold major deities of the Hindu faith. The renown mantra, Om Namah Shivaya, has been passed down from sages since the dawn of mankind and has personally helped me overcome many challenges over the course of my life. I’ve created a video to cover this topic which can be found on my YouTube channel, but have also included the main excerpts from my video in the post below for those who prefer to consume content in written form. This post covers the meaning of the sacred mantra, Om Namah Shivaya, and how you can leverage the transformational practice of mantra meditation to invoke the power of Lord Shiva and foster your spiritual growth. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The converted files have been saved, and the destination folder has been displayed on your screen.Īnd that’s all it takes to convert your PDF files to Excel in 3 easy steps!

It is the 2019 winner of the prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres award. In Wales, we are grateful to the Welsh Kite Trust who monitor many of the nesting pairs.Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game from designer Elizabeth Hargrave and Stonemaier Games. We have also received funding for kite work from LEADER+, and Making Tracks. In Scotland, reintroduction projects have been carried out in collaboration with SNH, Forestry Commission Scotland and the Scottish Raptor Study Groups. In Yorkshire, the release project was a collaboration between the RSPB, EN, Harewood Estate and Yorkshire Water. In the Chilterns red kites are monitored by the Southern England Kite Group, who assist in translocation of birds for other re-introduction areas. In the English Midlands, a public viewing scheme is run at a Forestry Commission England visitor centre. Other partners are Gateshead Council, Northumbrian Water, National Trust and Forestry Commission England and we have funding support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and SITA Environmental Trust. The Gateshead release project ‘Northern Kites’ is run by the RSPB and English Nature. The original re-introduction projects were developed by the RSPB, English Nature and Scottish Natural Heritage. We are working with Police wildlife crime officers to track down those responsible. We believe persecution is the main limiting factor in north Scotland, and we are carrying out a persecution study, using radiotelemetry to identify persecution hot spots. Here we will be moving a small number of birds over the next five years to a new area to the north-east to hasten recovery of red kites in that area. The population produces lots of young, but fewer survive and so the population has stopped growing. The same number of red kites were released in the Chilterns as in North Scotland between 19, but while the Chilterns population has grown to more than 200 pairs, the north Scottish population has remained at only 35 pairs. Numerous incidents of illegal poisoning appear to be preventing the population from increasing. ![]() In the UK, only in northern Scotland do we have serious concerns about the future. This is particularly welcome as the European red kite population has declined dramatically and is now listed as globally-threatened by the IUCN/BirdLife International. ![]() The population in Wales has increased to more than 400 pairs and populations in most of the release areas in Scotland and England are already self-sustaining. The prospects for red kites in the UK are extremely good, with increasing numbers at most of the release locations. Touring red kite trails have been set up, and enterprising farmers have set up kite-feeding stations which draw high numbers of visitors. Local economies have benefited from ‘kite country’ green tourism initiatives. The children find out that kites are exciting and spectacular birds and share their enthusiasm with family and friends. Support from local residents has been important too and we have often started by visiting schools, inviting children to see kites being released and helping them with associated project work. Most have seen this for themselves, and are now proud to have kites nesting on their land, protecting them and monitoring their success.Ĭhristopher Ussher, resident agent at the Harewood Estate, was quoted in Shooting Times and Country Magazine as saying: ‘Initially we received comments from neighbours about how the birds would affect the estate, but there is no conflict at all.’ It has been important to reassure landowners and gamekeepers that red kites pose no risk to game shooting interests or livestock. The RSPB, together with its partners, has worked hard to ensure local support for the red kite reintroduction projects. ![]() |
