MLP girls x reader

tw || one kinda suggestive comment

a/n || not proofread

Twilight Sparkle

• enjoys reading books with you

• a yapper. loves to ramble about her interests and findings often

• “oh my goodness I’ve talked for quite a while haven’t I” typa girl

• definitelyyy wants to star gaze with you

• I can see her being both the instigator and the one needing you to instigate. depends on your personality

• if you’re shy, she’ll talk. if you’re more dominant, she’ll let you take charge. she adapts.

• I want to say her love language is quality time and would enjoy spending time with you in silence, the both of you doing your own things

• for sure corrects your grammar or if you say anything incorrect

• doesn’t get angry at you easily, but definitely gets easily angry for you if she senses someone is angry at you (or giving you “a weird stare”)

• radiates “you can insult me but not them” type energy

• likes to cuddle (small spoon)

• arguments with her are mainly petty

• a great communicator, would want to deescalate the situation and sit down and talk

• if she gets angry expect silent treatment or her taking a deep breath and walking away (I don’t see her yelling when she’s angry at you)

• definitely can see her say she loves you VERY early into the relationship

• (house might be messy often, but it’s out of love, she’s a little chaotic but we love her for that)

• goes crazy if someone comes at you, she has that other side

• wants to find a solution fast

• she’s silly and wants to make you smile and laugh often

• 50-50 of an instigator

• if she instigates it’s absolutely completely done out of no where

• first kiss? out of no where. you were just walking in town on a regular Monday morning

• supports you in all your crazy ideas and thoughts (super easy going and laid back)

Fluttershy

• soft “mom” gf

• a homebody, so most dates are most likely spent indoors

• movies, dinner in, etc…

• wants to show you all of her creatures when you first begin dating

• love language is words of affirmation

• complements you often

• “no I agree, that outfit is very nice”

• if someone insults you, they’re done. Fluttershy has a killing stare

• 100% supporter, but will tell you if an idea is a bit dangerous (she’s concerned about you)

• if you two argue, she’s definitely crying

• a peacemaker (avoids conflict, but if it has to be done she wants to find a middle ground. without yelling preferably)

• enjoys nature walks, morning yoga, reading. All done with you

• house is clean 24/7, she cant stand a mess

• calls you sweet nicknames like babe, love, etc…

Applejack

• 100% an instigator, but wouldn’t mind you taking charge every now and then (might find it amusing)

• she’s a big flirt, holy cow

• if she likes you, she’ll make her interest known through little things

꒰ 🍮 ୭̥ ‧ ˎˊ- ・ soobin as love languages

SYNOPSIS !! soobin’s love languages

PAIRINGS !! gn!reader x bf!soobin

A/N !! ran to tumblr to write this because i’m in my soobin hrs

회수빈 (사랑의 언어)

🫂┊︰physical touch

he loves hugs. soobin loves wrapping his arms around you, engulfing you in his warmth is very comforting to him. because he’s very tall he loves using that to his advantage as he loves tangling your legs together in bed, cuddling you; he especially loves crying in your arms during a sad scene when you’re watching a movie a together. he also leaves the softest and sweetest kisses on your forehead while you sleep in his arms. he never seems to want to let you go and even in public he’s going to have his hand in yours.

⏳┊︰quality time

this is big for him, definitely top on his list — soobin is very introverted, he doesn’t really like going out; and when he does go out with friends or for schedules he’s always the first to go home to you. he will always put you before anything and he will always make time for you; regardless of how hectic and chaotic his schedule might be he will find time for you. when he’s on vacation or taking a break he’s going to want to be around you and cherish every moment the two of you share and make. he doesn’t constantly need to be by you but your presence is his home, he’s most comfortable when you’re around. and he will do anything for you :,)

🎁┊︰gifts

he’s not big on gift giving; he’s not frugal but he prefers just being around you and doesn’t really see the need in spoiling you with riches; however, soobin will go out to by you food or if he seems something you like while he’s out or on your he’s going to pick it up and bring it back to you. he doesn’t like receiving gifts either, and thinks you should spend your money on better things; but sometimes there’s things he really wants and he’ll be grateful for them if you do get them. he doesn’t say no to you, but he would rather treat you out to eat or just spend time with you than spend money on material things.

💬┊︰words of affirmation

yes, yes, and yes. spoil soob with words, you are a menace is you’re not constantly telling him that he’s amazing. he’s not the most confident person but when his efforts are being acknowledged he feels good about himself. he loves being told how good he is and how well he’s doing. he loves being reassured; tell this boy you love him!! say it all the time, and do not let him forget it. he loves telling you how much he loves you and is constantly making your heart flutter, this man will always make sure you know how amazing you are so you better reciprocate that!

🥂┊︰acts of service

he loves doing things for you, he loves taking care of you so much. you’re the first thing on his mind when he wakes up and you’re the thought he falls asleep to. soobin doesn’t always do things for you; but if you ask he will do them for you. he believes this should be 50/50 in a relationship so it’s not on the top of his love languages. sometimes he’s a little too lazy to do some tasks but if he’s feeling up for it he’s going to pamper you for the time whole do and do whatever you ask of him.

do not steal, copy, or repost any of my work

FOR AFFECTION IS SWEETER THAN ANYTHING-☆

ORDER☆ made by @ciarchivez; hello, rua !!!!! i saw you wanted to write so... pls... write... ayato... plz... 😞🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗

RECIPE; Hmm..what are Kamisato Ayato’s love languages?? :0 ooo! you’re his lover?? come on darling, spill the tea! how does the head of the Kamisato clan show his adoration for you?

☆FROSTING; f! reader, noble reader, reader is engaged to ayato :0 lovesick ayato, ayato appears in near end, chisato is reader’s close friend, uh. they’re all teasing reader btw </3 and apologised for my bad writing jiji :( also. the five love languages are included!

NOT PROOFREAD English is not my first language and idk Japanese that well so sorry if I made any mistakes </3 words are reused quite often due to my bad English :(( first time writing ayato LOL-

“LADY L/N, how does your fiancé show his love for you?” a noble lady asked, a mischievous smile formed on her face as she turned to you.

“a-ah? well..hm…there’s quite a lot.” you placed a finger onto your lips, “oh my! do tell us!” the nobles chattered like robins, their heads nodding as they agreed.

“ahahaha, of course! ahem. well, how would you like me to begin?” you asked, tilting your head to the side.

“hm..maybe tell us about all five of the love languages? rate them from 0-100% of how and which one he uses.” Chisato suggested, drinking her cup of tea.

“that’s a good idea! thank you Hiiragi-san. now.” you cleared your throat, “let me begin.”

❄️ -> QUALITY TIME; 60%

definition; time in which one's child, partner, or other loved person receives one's undivided attention, in such a way as to strengthen the relationship.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

ayato is a fairly busy man as all of Inazuma knows. but somehow, he always seems to have time for you and only you.

he also tends to be clingy. calling you to his office to do whatever you’re doing while he’s working on his massive piles of paperwork. or maybe taking whatever chance he has to spend time with you.

he also likes it when you feed him snacks and etc!! it’s quite a nice thing that you two have :3

❄️ -> GIFT GIVING; 90%

definition; something given voluntarily without payment in return, as to show favor toward someone, honor an occasion, or make a gesture of assistance; present.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

oh my, you have to agree one of the Yashiro’s Commissioner’s main love languages are gifts :0

everyday, you’re constantly showered with pretty flowers from either Mondstadt, Fontaine, Sumeru, etc. or either you’re gifted with a cup of bubble tea, basically anything he could get his hands on for the day!

on special occasions though…you can definitely say he goes all out! giving you rare and expensive items to basically anything you want!

safe to say, many of the servants in the estate gossip about you taking advantage of him. well…used to. that is. until ayato found out and fired them :3

❄️ -> ACTS OF SERVICE 20%

definition; a language that can best be described as doing something for your partner that you know they would like.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ oooh well, acts of service are definitely!! not what he prefers! he might do a massage or make you tea, other than that? nope!

most likely, you’re the one doing that :D ayato is extremely busy almost all the time so he wouldn’t even get the chance to do it even if he wanted to -_-

although you have to say, he really appreciates it if you help him with his workload!

❄️ -> WORDS OF AFFIRMATION 50%

definition; any spoken or written words that confirm, support, uplift, and empathize with another person in a positive manner.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

this is more of a half and half since while he does do it, it’s not as often as you think.

yes, kamisato ayato definitely smooth talks wayy too much. but, for you, his fiancé, he wants to keep his words genuine. so even though they don’t come often, he throws them in your way every once in a while!! :D

okay. he does smooth talk to you. but. it’s only for him to skip his workload (to buy his beloved bubble tea ig hehe) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

❄️ -> PHYSICAL TOUCH 100%

definition; expressing and receiving affection through touch, physical closeness, and other forms of physical connection

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

okok. this man. when it comes to physical touch. is like a koala. he is most certainly sticking to your side at all times >:/ (he’s touch starved :(

if you’re in the same room with him, you’re either: holding hands, cuddling, or just sitting on his lap (okay. this is innocent yall. :( mightttttt write something suggestive tho-)

and when you’re in bed, he’s embracing you till morning and when he’s free (such a rare occurrence) he’s gonna not let you go </3)

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

“oh my! who would have thought that Kamisato-san would be so romantic?!” the ladies gushed as you turn pink, face buried in your hands.

“i agree, kamisato-san truly is a romantic.” chisato laughed, hand on your shoulder. “that truly is something to talk about for quite a while.”

“I-I regret telling you guys now…” you trailed off, “oh nonono! i truly wish my husband is like that! Haha~“ a young woman in her mid-twenties chuckled.

“ahh! you’re so right Saito-san! if only my lover could be this loving..” another girl named sumire spoke up.

“Ahaha, as much as I would like to continue hearing wonderful conversation about me, I’m afraid that our darling Kamisato-san to-be is going to die of pure embarrassment soon.” a new voice joins into the conversation and you all look up in shock to see ayato with a closed eye smile, a pretty bouquet in his hands.

“A-ayato?!” You shriek both in surprise and embarrassment, standing up from your seated position immediately.

“hello darling.” ayato opens his eyes to stare at you. “It seems like you all had quite the pleasant time I see. Thank you for hosting Hiiragi-san.”

He bows slightly as thanks to chisato, “although I’m afraid that I have to take my lover back to the estate now.”

“Ahaha, I understand. I shall escort you to the door?” chisato asks, a polite smile appeared on her face.

“thank you. I greatly appreciate the gesture.” He smiles back as he takes your arm. “let’s go back, shall we love?”

“a-ah. Okay. um. thank you for this wonderful time. I hope we can all meet each other soon again.” you said gratefully, your heartbeat slowly calming down.

“well? let’s go then.” ayato gently tugs you to the door as chisato leads the way. when you arrive to the enterance of the Hiiragi Estate, chisato gestures you to come closer.

when you comply, she whispers in your ear: “if he ever makes you upset, feel very welcome to tell me. but I do have a feeling that he treats you very well so let’s hope that never happens, yes?”

you nod in response. “thank you hiiragi-san” you whisper back as ayato stares at you two with a amused chuckle.

“Well then, I hope to see you again, L/n-san.” She says out loud this time. before waving goodbye and heads back to join the small group.

“..why did you have to sneak up on me like that?” You suddenly turn to ayato, “you scared the living daylights out of me!”

“ahahaha, but you had a great time gossiping about me, no?” he takes your hand into his, playing the with ring he gave you.

“that wasn’t gossiping love. I was just sharing facts.” You huff, a pout on your face.

“alright, alright. anyways, this is for you.” He said, giving you the bouquet of flowers. “I hope you forgive me for this little incident?”

“…alright then.” you take his hand and start to head towards his favourite bubble tea stand.

“this time, it’s my treat, alright? Ayato?”

“of course, Darling.”

Rua’s notes; okay. This is flopping :/ help I’m so sorry jiji :(

Bunny’s 200 follower event

request: Hiii!!! Congratulations on 200. I'm so so proud of youuu 🥰🥰🥰. I hope that you're getting enough rest and breaks and staying healthy and hydrated. I would like my matchups to be from AOT if that's okay with you :) My pronouns are she/her and I prefer men, my love language is quality time/ words of affirmations, and I show love through acts of service, affirmations and a little bit of physical touch. My personality type is INTP-A/INFP-A my T and F are split 50/50. My star sign is Aries. I like reading a lot, writing, baking, cooking and anything creative really. Or even sometimes I just like sitting in silence, thinking to myself, getting lost in my head. I absolutely hate going outside. It makes me feel very anxious and I need someone to go out with me, I hate going alone. And when I do go out I always hold onto someone's sleeve or the back of their top, especially in crowded places. I'm a very open minded relaxed person, very witty and I enjoy making people laugh and having a laugh with people. Not open with my emotions, I like to keep them to myself and dont like sharing them, but I will always be willing to listen to your problems. For me, I'd want a partner that isnt really really immature or really really serious. Someone that can switch between the two. I dont like loud people at all. It really gets on my nerves, I prefer someone who's quite but can be loud if necessary as well. Personally, I switch really easily and quickly between being silly and being not so silly, so someone that can read my moods (not that I have that many) and someone that can read the vibe of the room. Also because I dont like going outside in crowds that much, id want someone to go on cute little domestic dates at home with or outside with. Please dont laugh at me, I'm really short, I'm just about 5ft 2, and quite chubby. I used to have long, dark brown, straight, hair up to my bum but I impulsively cut it up to my boobs. So it's still long but not that long. I'd consider myself a switch as I do like to be in control quite a lot of the time, but I also dont mind being the bottom as well. I'm more comfortable with giving that receiving tbh. Ummm I cant think of anything else so yeah. Thank you so so much!!! This is really really long, I'm sorry about that. But please make sure you're taking regular breaks and not over working yourself. Make sure you're drinking water!!!! Thank youuu xxx

a/n: omg pls no why would I laugh at you asjfkskaks! You sound lovely ☺️ ❣️ I hope you enjoy this matchup and omg capricorn twins 💪🏼 also jesus thank you @plutowrites for help with this one! I was having some trouble deciding who I’d match you up with! Also this deleted half way through and I wanted to scream, but it’s ok now 😀 also thank you for your kind words🥺🤲🏼

Warnings: NSFW themes, minors please DNI

Reading your request, you have been matched with...

(づ￣ ³￣)づ Erwin Smith

I think he’d be perfect for you!

He’d be the perfect calm between serious and goofy 💓

He’d be good at keeping up with a silly conversation and making jokes here and there but also know when it’s time to be serious with you

Ok he would LOVE if you were to hold his shirt while walking through a crowd or just being in public in general

He’s the type of guys who likes to take care of his significant other and would be happy you let him do that

King of making pasta and a four course fancy meal at home

You would say date night but at home and he would go a little over the top like,,, mf made a menu, printed AND laminated it omg what a nerd

He’d learn to reel it in though 🖤

Ugh probably takes you on a drive to a private spot for a picnic omg

And the sandwiches are cut into tiny little squares omg

He’s so cute pls 😭

Ok I also think his love language would be quality time!!

He’d love for you to even sit in his office while he does work, you don’t even have to be talking he just loves your company tbh

He’d love for you to follow him everywhere cause he loves your presence! It does not matter how small the task is pls

Getting gas? Hop in!

Dropping off something at work? You’re already buckled up

Going to the post office? Your seat warmer is already on

Sorry not sorry he calls you puppy he finds it so cute! !

It started off teasing you cause you guys were always following each other around like lost puppies so one day he just

“C’mon puppy! Let’s go!”

And he just thought it was so cute and fitting and now it stuck

And because of your height he loves to pat your head and ruffle your hair, especially if he’s calling you puppy he does NOT care LMAO

I do see him as a top but I think he definitely wouldn’t mind you taking control he’d find it so sexy cmon now, but he would make it a tiny bit of a fight for dominance even if he lowkey likes letting you win hehe

Ok also he’s a big blusher he’d be a pretty bottom idc

Your acts of service would make him feel so loved deadass

Like you doing little things to help with the burden of his workload??

Yeah he’s keeping you forever

Your vibe reminds me of...

Another suitable match for you would be...

(づ￣ ³￣)づ Jean Kirschtein

It was kind of hard to think of a perfect second match but I think Jean would be good for you!!!

He really matures through the show and I think he’d be really good at being in tune with your emotions!

He’d be able to tell the slightest change in your mood and is checking in with you in a matter of milliseconds

Would also love how you hold onto him in public

Like he’d just be so 🥺🤲🏼 my little baby

Yeah and then you’re topping him later like who’s the little baby now

But he PURPOSELY wear shirts loose enough for you to grab onto

If you had to go somewhere without him and were super anxious about it he would have you wear one of his hoodies and have his ringer on the whole time you were gone in case you needed him (this mf phone always blowin up so the ringers usually off LMAO)

Bake Jean any kind of treat and he is your slave for a week

I’m not kidding this man will just melt

Especially if it was intended for him and not just a treat you made??? Yeah

He’s gonna cry a lil

He’s a STUPID big softie

He wishes he could wrap you up and put you in his pocket he just wants to take you wherever he goes

Ok he wouldn’t want to admit but he loves when you top him 🤭 like he’d be such a brat about it but if you’re not a bottom “at all” Jean why does it keep happening 🤨?

Anyways

He’s only really ~loud around eren so I feel like he’s chill when it’s the two of you 🖤 but if he’s ever being a little too much for you comfort and draining your social battery he’ll notice and try to chill out a bit

And will make up for it with a ~very cuddly nap sesh

Your vibe reminds me of...

I was trying so hard to give you a perfect match I hope you liked it and I’d love to hear back from you!! I hope you enjoy!

Requests are open until February 26th 8:00 pm PST

-🐇out

5 love languages

@fulmnare posting here because tumblr decided to eat the ask and make me redo the entire thing so 😠

Jayden

Words of Affirmation

does your muse like giving compliments? 50/50, he only tells them when he really, really means it.

how easy is it for your muse to say ‘ i love you’? he probably doesn’t say it

what is one compliment your muse is dying to hear? probably none because he thinks being in that field, it can’t possibly mean anything good

what is something your muse loves being praised for? being trustworthy, clear-headed. and also the fact that he reads. (jayden: i’m not saying i’m better than everyone because i read, but a lot of the problems in this world could be solved if people just shut the hell up and read more)

Acts of Service

does your muse like it when people do work for them? not really omg cause like why would he want other people to like do dirty work for him, but also he’s secretly glad cause that means he doesn’t have to do it himself lmao

does your muse enjoy giving people a hand with work? depends on what, but he’s usually willing and quick to help!

what acts of service would your muse appreciate the most? he hangs out with the guys a lot so like whenever they ask each other if they’re armed or safe, or when they’re just passing each other a gun, knife etc. also someone preparing actual food for him.

what is one chore your muse would prefer someone else do for them? washing clothes. he hates having smelly clothes and he also hates (hand) washing clothes.

Receiving Gifts

does your muse enjoy giving gifts? mostly yeah, nothing fancy though cause he never knows what to give

what is a gift your muse is hoping to receive? books. or like a knife or some weapon always works too im cry he does have a dangerous job after all.

does your muse prefer receiving more practical or fun gifts? (jayden: ...books...can be practical and fun too...) i’m sorry just get him a netflix membership or something

does your muse like it when someone spends a lot of money on them? nah

Quality Time

what is your muse’s ideal date night? anything as long as it’s indoor cause it makes him feel safe

how comfortable is your muse with prolonged eye contact? not too long please it makes him feel uneasy

does your muse prefer conversation or just sitting quietly with their s/o? he doesn’t talk all that much so most probably the latter

is it easy for your muse to devote their full attention to one person at a time? yep

Physical Touch

does your muse like being hugged? only by people he has known for a long time and by kids

where could someone touch your muse to calm them down? shoulders. back.

is there anywhere on your muse’s body they want to be touched most? only livia knows the answer to this

does your muse find themselves subconsciously seeking out physical contact? if and only if you’re livia (mr morelli pls look away)

Jean

Words of Affirmation

does your muse like giving compliments? not really, she only gives them when she really, really means it. (not at her taking after her mother at least a good 70% and being stingy with compliments)

how easy is it for your muse to say ‘ i love you’? she’s probably never said it before so it wouldn’t be easy at all :pensive:

what is one compliment your muse is dying to hear? “you did good.” “you’re doing great”

what is something your muse loves being praised for? please praise her for her cooking instead of the fact that she studies well tbh, cause ofc she likes knowing people think and acknowledge she’s smart but it stresses her out more so (jean: well i think i already know i’m not too bad at studying, so...)

Acts of Service

does your muse like it when people do work for them? no omf she appreciates it and is lowkey touched whenever people offer to, but she feels awkward so no. and she also doesn’t like asking for help.

love language thought dump

im fine with all just. my thoughts yk

words of affirmation: see my life has been filled with that if it only has to do with something my parents r proud of me of and not actually on everyday shit like. if i study hard they'll be happy but if i just exist they'll tell me to do something =) so sudden words of affirmation will catch me off guard and embarrass the fuck out of me so. not my thing

gift giving: i will IMMEDIATELY feel obliged to give you something back. i do not care if it's like "oh u dont need to give me anything back" my inner conscience will feel so bad and would tell me im selfish for not giving anything back so. i just . yeah no don't suddenly give me gifts unless it's a somewhat special occasion bc id think u want something from me

physical touch: and i quote, "yes i'm touch starved. yes i hate physical affection. yes we exist."

no bc i love hugs but then i start thinking about my body n shiy like. does it smell bad am i ok am i making them comfortable???? idk so not for me (only exception r my friends. u can give me a hug)

acts of service: absolutely not please do not serve me i will feel so so bad . like ur here doing smth for me while i can only receive at this moment so i'll feel really bad . thank you although u can still do it tho if thats what u want

quality time: NOW THIS IS MY THING. first off i want quality time to be like a 50/50. you enjoy it, i enjoy it, we're having a blast. yk. it isn't a one sided give and take but a two sided giving and taking and at the end of the day we're equally happy. i take u shopping and u take me to a cafe. we're both happy and equal and that doesnt make me feel bad although id feel like u wouldnt enjoy where i would go to so =(

IBM’s Food Blockchain Is Going Live With a Supermarket Giant on Board

IBM is taking its food-tracking blockchain into production, making it one of the largest enterprise projects to achieve that milestone, and has signed European supermarket giant Carrefour to use it.

Announced Monday, the commercial launch of IBM Food Trust means that large players, as well as small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) in the food industry supply chain, can now join the network for a subscription fee ranging from $100 to $10,000 a month.

And many SMEs may have a stronger incentive to participate to participate now that Carrefour, which operates 12,000 stores in 33 countries, is on board. The retailer will track and trace its own branded products in France, Spain and Brazil, before expanding to other countries by 2022.

“For us, it’s a matter of sense for the consumer,” Emmanuel Delerm, blockchain program director at Carrefourm told CoinDesk. “It’s really this that will push us to say to our producers or partners or suppliers, will they come on the platform? It’s really consumer-orientated; it’s really for them that we are doing this.”

Yet Carrefour is only the latest food company with supply chain clout to sign up for IBM Food Trust. Others include Nestle, Dole Food, Tyson Foods, Kroger, Unilever – and not least of all the U.S. big-box behemoth Walmart. Notably, Walmart has already flexed its muscle, telling leafy-greens suppliers last month that they must integrate with the network by September 2019 and citing an e.coli outbreak as an urgent reason to improve transparency.

Describing the fruits of more than a year’s work, Ramesh Gopinath, IBM’s vice president of blockchain solutions, told CoinDesk,

“IBM Food Trust is the first production blockchain at real scale and we are super-excited to finally be making the product available broadly.”

Indeed, the one other enterprise blockchain of comparable heft to go live is we.trade, the trade finance consortium of 12 global banks, which entered production in late June.

The mainstay of the IBM Food Trust commercial offering, explained Gopinath, is the ability to trace items backward and forward through the supply chain. This means the apples in a brand of baby food, for example, can be pinpointed back to a particular batch and orchard; then, in the event of, say, contamination, the trace can go forward to recall the whole range of products that might be affected.

“That obviously requires the growers, the suppliers, and the retailers all to be part of the solution, sending in information in a trusted and permissioned fashion and we link it all together,” said Gopinath.

So far, 3 million transactions have been processed on the ledger during 18 months of testing, and now that it’s gone live, Gopinath is confident that “if anything it will be ten times faster.”

Top of the food chain?

IBM Food Trust is without doubt leading the track-and-trace food space. The network was built using the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain protocol (which Big Blue contributed to the Hyperledger project). But there will likely be others in the race, including some which may also emerge from within the Hyperledger commmunity.

Also gathering momentum is Sawtooth, the codebase donated to Hyperledger by Intel. Indeed, if you take the time to inspect the Sawtooth Supply Chain GitHub repository, in July of this year there were 15 code commits from U.S. food giant Cargill, involving some kind of track and trace project; the word “fish” is mentioned. Asked if a proof of concept was forthcoming on Sawtooth, Cargill declined to comment.

But in any case, IBM’s Gopinath was sanguine about other Fortune 100 companies working on possible solutions, adding that interoperability is an ultimate goal.

“All of that, in my view, is good news,” he said. “It’s affirmation that path we started on three plus years ago is the right one. And back when we started out, we have always had interoperability in mind.”

He also pointed to data sharing standards like GS1 which means the necessary work will be done up front. Gopinath added,

“I’d love it if IBM Food Trust was the only platform out there for this, but we are not that naive. If there’s another one that is as good and as mature as Food Trust out there then absolutely we will be happy to do the interop.”

Chicken and egg

Carrefour’s Delerm said the supermarket chain worked on its own blockchain for more than a year, mainly using internal engineer teams, before switching to IBM’s.

“Being a retailer we knew that IBM was working with Walmart on IBM Food Trust in the U.S. primarily,” he said.

As such, Carrefour saw scope to widen the range of products it was already working on, such as the way it currently verifies production of free-range chicken in the Auvergne region in central France.

“As of today, we have three products in France that since the start of the year we have been delivering to consumers all the information: tomatoes, chicken and eggs, and we added recently the chicken also in Italy,” Delerm.

In addition to the existing Carrefour Quality Lines live on the blockchain, the plan is to use IBM Food Trust to include international brands, said Delerm, such as some of those already working with Food Trust like Nestle and Unilever, as well as exploring organic produce-tracking.

Growing adoption

Also joining Food Trust on Monday are the cooperative Topco Associates representing 15,000 stores; retailer-owned cooperative Wakefern, representing 50 member companies and 344 stores; as well as suppliers including Beefchain, Dennick Fruit Source and Smithfield.

Food Trust can also be accessed by way of a module that simply allows firms to upload data about goods to the system, done via the cloud or another app, and which is free of charge. A more advanced version of this involves certificates, organic or Fair Trade credentials and so on.

Stepping back, Food Trust is one of IBM’s main blockchain buckets; another is shipping and global trade, and in this area, the flagship platform is IBM’s collaboration with Maersk, dubbed TradeLens.

So far, TradeLens is yet to onboard any other carriers that are anything like the size of Maersk. So, could it be that the food industry is an easier ride in terms of adoption, or perhaps it’s an area where the benefits are more immediately tangible?

Gopinath pointed that Food Trust has been some 18 months in the making, and that progress is being made on TradeLens to scale up to the same degree among parties that normally compete with each other.

He concluded:

“IBM Food Trust is making this big announcement; similarly, TradeLens will also have a commercial availability announcement. And at that point, I can guarantee you it will be in the same shape we are in here.”

The !Kung urinate attempted to resist onto and redeem the conventional and native means of existence as the modern institution begins to close in on them. In umteen guidances, they drive get ind the struggle to perplex aim onto their connection to the environment. The !Kung ar able to survive because they be in possession of acquired, oer a very long stay of time, a characteristic way of sustenance, a culture, which make water distinguished their innate human needs with the distinctive location that they populate in. Everything ab stunned the !Kung culture, from the pragmatical means of acquiring provender from constitution to the codes of genial living, which is the family relationship system, rules of custom, beliefs and religious ceremonies, seems to fuddle a structural device which is the supreme in efficiency for survival to a lower shopping mall the hold backs imposed by the temper of the African landscape.\n\nIn most environments, efficient forage requires that people kick the bucket in small, unstable groups that distinguish the groups from the colonized villages, t makes, and cities found in otherwise environmental adaptations, anthropologists call these runny living groups striations. !Kung is pack fragments who dowery in production and rights to fruit the wild resources of a given territory. The sizing of masss is usually flexible, allowing the result of people living in the band to be correct according to the accessibility of the food supply.\n\nIn addition, individuals are non attached for good to any band, but have many another(prenominal) options about where to make it and whom to live with. This way of organizing bands affirms the !Kung people many advantages to foraging tribes. The !Kung of grey Africa exemplify these requirement points regarding a fortunate band organization.

Chapter four and quintet is dedicated to sex, in its natural and unprohibitive offer and that of trial marriages, which is all important(p) to the expansion of the !Kung population and its cultures survival.\n\nChapter twelve and thirteen, Nisa dialogue about the importance of the smack world, the correctly ramifications if the temperaments are not respected. virtually importantly, the relationship amongst healers and their connection to the spirit world is submissive in how well a healer performs his job . on that point is a trance uniform verbalize that allows the healer to check forth and interact with the spirit world. There is a dual aim here, one that connects the !Kung society to their religious belief system and the other is the revelatory experience which is celebrated. The final two chapters, fourteen and fifteen, follows Nisa as she speaks to Shostak about her devastate loss of her children, in childbirth, when the spirits were dis enjoy and a death by a husband. Also, the realization and sufferance of growing older. Nisa is distressful that her husband has forget her and has taken a young woman into his bed. Through Nisas conversation with Shostak, low-self enjoy presents itself as Nisa believes she is no longer sightly enough to hold the attention of her husband. Nisa examines her fatality rate and her current place within the textile of being an !Kung woman. Nisa challenges Shostak and dialog to her about the vulgarity they share as women and the understa nding of womens human condition as familiar. Also, Nisa speaks to Shostak like that of a conversance or even a sister. There is a natural bond Nisa and Shostak share that defines women experiences and how these experiences connect to each other.\n\nIn 1975 and during a re bend dexter chatter to Dobe, Shostak decides to continue interviewing Nisa and is please finds that Nisa is well and happy. At this point, Shostak asks permission to turn her conversations and interviews with Nisa into a book. Nisa gives her blessing. Shostak interviewed some(prenominal) members of the !Kung but found her inspiration in Nisas distinctive use of expressions. Ill break exonerated the story and posit you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I ordain finish with it, and the cabbage will take it away (Nisa).\n\nAlthough the !Kung were lately experiencing cultural change, which managed to avert tampering with their handed-down value system. The general behavio ral characteristics have a commonality with women everywhere. In the fountain of the !Kung women, the physiological nature of women and the requirements, the demands of social life and certain biological needs and limitations associated with women, carry on on a universal level.'

Properly, maybe now not. In present day Tech international, what seems to be won’t be.

Phishing, credit score card fraud, e-mail scams, all have grown to be very sophisticated for certain.

An instance, I just listed my Note five on Amazon seller account, within minutes I had a buyer till I read the reaction:

Does this sound like something Amazon might write?

Quote: “we hereby inform you that order was finished in your item and payment have been acquired from the customer by way of us on your behalf. An additional 50 for transport has been delivered.

In no way offer your personal, credit card or on-line account details if you obtain a name claiming to be from your bank or another enterprise. Instead, ask for their name and get in touch with quantity and make an independent test with the enterprise in the query before calling again.
