Unsolicited Tips for Fanfiction Writers #1: The Lecture
I want to preface this with the idea that I'm not writing this from some position of authorial scold. This is a problem with my own writing about which I have had to be very careful.
Every author experiences moments when they need to deliver exposition, elucidate a theme, or provide context for an action for their story. This is especially true in fanfiction, when a writer feels enormous pressure to relate the work before them with the original source material. Having one character explain it to another is not only an effective solution but in certain genres expected. Characters who don't know certain things often have to learn about them.
But it can get tricky, especially when it comes to fanfiction. Sometimes the reader can suddenly become aware that they're being addressed by the author telling them what to think, and that's usually not the reason why someone reads a story. While some readers are in tune with the author so much that it doesn't bother them, a lot of readers will feel that they're the ones being lectured.
In my opinion, the key to delivering a useful and non-intrusive lecture in your story is the relationships between the speaker and their audience. Is there a reason for the speaker to be delivering the information? Are they an authority on the topic? Is there a reason for the audience to listen to the speaker? Do they respect the speaker or need the information being delivered? If these things don't exist, the curtain parts and the reader experiences the author talking directly to them.
I'll give you an example. In a recent Teen Wolf fanfiction I came across, a crossover with Hawaii 5-0, Stiles went to the islands and became involved with the team, and Steve Garrett returned with him to Beacon Hills for other reasons, but Stiles wants to "give Scott a chance" to make things up to Stiles. It really should have been labeled "Bad Friend Scott McCall" but no one really labels things correctly.
Plot events occur, but the latest chapter has a scene where Steve Garret lectures Scott on how badly he's been treating Stiles, calls him a spineless coward, and threatens him with violence if Scott hurts Stiles emotionally. It's a lecture all right. But here's the problem (as I put into the constructive criticism comment I left for the author).
Why the hell would Scott not just turn around and walk out of the hospital room after his first sentence? Who the hell is Steve Garrett to Scott? We, the readers, know who that is, but Scott doesn't know this person from Adam. Scott, of course, doesn't defend himself, because in these types of "The Author Hates Canon and Will Make It Your Problem" stories, the characters they dislike never get a chance to defend themselves. But the real important point I feel is -- what in Scott's characterization implies that he would listen to a white male stranger, however dangerous and threatening, scold him on how he has to treat Stiles? It's not like that exact thing hasn't happened before.
I should have realized that this story would be full of the "Author Telling Me Why I Shouldn't Like Scott." In an earlier chapter, Peter says this gem to Stiles:
“Isn’t he? How much easier would your life have been, your father’s life had been, if Scott had accepted what he became sooner? How better would your lives be if he hadn’t tried to ignore the insane, serious change he went through and put all of your lives at stake just to pretend he was a normal boy to be able to get the girl he confused lust for love for? And that’s not even touching on who said girl and her family even were!” 
I let that go, because this is not out of character for Peter to be a manipulative douchebag. And since Stiles had come to Peter, it wasn't completely out of line for him to listen. I was surprised that Stiles didn't respond. "I did wonder how much easier my life would have been if you hadn't tried to mind-control Scott into killing me, so there's that." But this is an older Stiles, so maybe he's not as sarcastic.
But the lecture from Steve Garrett was the breaking point. I was out of the story permanently. Even if you think Scott is the stupidest werewolf that ever lived, it's still part of his characterization -- which the author never bothered to change because the purpose of this story was to express their hatred of Scott McCall -- that he doesn't let weird strange white men tell him what to do.
I mean, what's left at this point? If Scott's this bad -- a spineless coward who is completely in the wrong but wont' recognize it -- why does Stiles even care? He lives thousands of miles away in Hawaii! If Scott's this bad -- someone so selfish and oblivious that Peter Hale is a better person and a overly-tanned white cop from another state has to threaten him -- why does Scott even care? What is this story but a 30k (so far) lecture on why the author didn't like the show? I'm pretty sure I know the answer already -- either Scott will be killed/maimed/humiliated or he will throw himself at Stiles feet and apologize for not centering his life around Stiles's needs. Either way, Stiles will go back to the big island, having defeated his nemesis (Scott, in case the audience wasn't paying attention) and live happily ever after.
You can write stories like this, but if you want to reach an audience larger than the people who already agree with you, it might do well to make sure that the characters are characters, and not mouthpieces.

School segregation between Mexican and white students in Orange County, California, was widespread in the mid-1940s, with 80% of Mexican students attending 14 segregated schools. These schools taught Mexican children manual education – or gardening, bootmaking, blacksmithing, and carpentry for Mexican boys and sewing and homemaking for girls – while white schools taught academic preparation. The landmark case Mendez vs. Westminster (1947) desegregated Orange County schools, after the Mendez family were denied enrollment into the 17th Street School in Westminster in 1944, despite their cousins with lighter skin being admitted, and were instead told to enroll at the Hoover Elementary School for Mexican children. (Wikipedia)
In the years since Brown v. Board, the demographics of segregation have become entrenched within New York City’s public schools. In the mid-1960s, nearly half of students were White. Today’s school populations are roughly 41% Latino, 24% Black, 17% Asian, and 15% White. Over 8 in 10 Black students and over 7 in 10 Latino students attend a school where more than 90% of their classmates are students of color; 34% of White students are enrolled in a school that is over half-White. Nationally, New York City’ relies on academic screening for admission more than any other locale in the United States, utilizing a tool that drives segregation by race and class. Some Black and Latino students who attend schools where they are numerically underrepresented report that they don’t feel integrated. As I report in my book, one Black youth reflected: “Everyday walking through these doors, I feel alienated, like a single piece of black pepper in a sea of salt.” (Thirteen.org)

Wilfred: "He who wants peace"
Isaiah 9:5 For a child has been born to us, A son has been given us, And authority has settled on his shoulders. He has been named "The Mighty God is planning grace; The Eternal Father, a peaceable ruler"-- Isaiah 9:6 In token of abundant authority And of peace without limit Upon David's throne and kingdom, That it may be firmly established In justice and in equity Now and evermore. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts Shall bring this to pass.
Isaiah 55:1 Ho, all who are thirsty, Come for water, even if you have no money; Come, buy food and eat: Buy food without money, Wine and milk without cost. Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain or snow drops from heaven And returns not there, But soaks the earth And makes it bring forth vegetation, Yielding seed for sowing and bread for eating, Isaiah 55:11 So is the word that issues from My mouth: It does not come back to Me unfulfilled, But performs what I purpose, Achieves what I sent it to do.

Isaiah 9:2 You have magnified that nation, Have given it great joy; They have rejoiced before You As they rejoice at reaping time, As they exult When dividing spoil. Isaiah 9:3 For the yoke that they bore And the stick on their back--the rod of their taskmaster--You have broken as on the day of Midian. Isaiah 9:4 Truly, all the boots put on to stomp with And all the garments donned in infamy Have been fed to the flames, Devoured by fire.

Sinéad O'Connor was born in the Cascia House Nursing Home at 13 Pembroke Road, Dublin, on 8 December 1966 and passed away 26 July 2023 (8 Av 5783).
She was the third of five children. O'Connor's mother Marie died in a car accident on 10 February 1985 aged 45 as she lost control of her car on an icy road and crashed into a bus, when O'Connor was 18. In June 1993, O'Connor wrote a public letter in The Irish Times which asked people to "stop hurting" her: "If only I can fight off the voices of my parents / and gather a sense of self-esteem / Then I'll be able to REALLY sing …" The letter repeated accusations of abuse by her parents as a child which O'Connor had made in interviews. Her brother Joseph defended their father to the newspaper but agreed regarding their mother's "extreme and violent abuse, both emotional and physical". O'Connor said that month, "Our family is very messed up. We can't communicate with each other. We are all in agony. I for one am in agony."
Marriages and children O'Connor had four children and was married and divorced four times. She had her first son, Jake, in 1987 with her first husband, music producer John Reynolds, who co-produced several of her albums, including Universal Mother. Reynolds and O'Connor later married in Westminster register office in March 1989.
In 1989 O'Connor joined The The frontman Matt Johnson as a guest vocalist on the band's album Mind Bomb, which spawned the duet "Kingdom of Rain".
Saturday Night Live performance O'Connor protesting the cover-up of Catholic Church sexual abuse cases as she tore a picture of Pope John Paul II into many pieces on live television in 1992.
On 3 October 1992, O'Connor appeared on U.S. late-night television program Saturday Night Live as a musical guest. She was originally scheduled to sing "Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home" and "Scarlet Ribbons", two of the songs from the album she was promoting at the time, Am I Not Your Girl?. However, the day before her live appearance, she asked and got permission from the show's production crew to replace the latter performance with a rendition of Bob Marley's 1976 song "War", which she intended to revise as a protest against sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church and its continued cover-up, thus referring to child abuse rather than racism.
The night of the performance, she sang an acappella version of "War", wearing a necklace with the Rastafari star and a scarf with the Rastafari and Ethiopian colors,[95] and staring down the camera for the entirety of her gig; she then presented a photo of Pope John Paul II to the screen while singing the word "evil", after which she tore the photo into pieces, said "Fight the real enemy", and threw the pieces towards the camera. The incident occurred nine years before John Paul II acknowledged the sexual abuse within the Church.
Legacy The Saturday Night Live incident is widely considered to have done permanent damage to O'Connor's career and reputation, although she never regretted her decision.[93][98][116] In a 2002 interview with Salon, when asked if she would change anything about the SNL appearance, O'Connor replied, "Hell, no!"[96] In her 2021 book Rememberings, O'Connor said of the incident: "Everyone wants a pop star, see? But I am a protest singer. I just had stuff to get off my chest. I had no desire for fame." In the same memoir, she also wrote that she felt like the incident actually put her "back on the right track", following a personal crisis stemming from the success of "Nothing Compares 2 U".
Moreover, she revealed that she had taken down the picture of Pope John Paul II from her mom's bedroom wall on the day of her death, and waited until the right moment to destroy it as an act of personal revenge to the physical abuse she suffered as a child, writing, "Child abuse is an identity crisis and fame is an identity crisis, so I went straight from one identity crisis into another".
In a July 2007 interview with Christianity Today, O'Connor stated that she considered herself a Christian and that she believed in core Christian concepts about the Trinity and Jesus Christ. She said, "I think God saves everybody whether they want to be saved or not. So when we die, we're all going home… I don't think God judges anybody. He loves everybody equally." In an October 2002 interview, she credited her Christian faith in giving her the strength to live through and overcome the effects of her childhood abuse.
On 26 March 2010, O'Connor appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360° to speak out about the Catholic sexual abuse scandal in Ireland. On 28 March 2010, she had an opinion piece published in the Sunday edition of The Washington Post in which she wrote about the scandal and her time in a Magdalene laundry as a teenager.[29] Writing for the Sunday Independent she labeled the Vatican as "a nest of devils" and called for the establishment of an "alternative church", opining that "Christ is being murdered by liars" in the Vatican. Shortly after the election of Pope Francis, she described the office of the Pope as an "anti-Christian office".
O'Connor stated: Well, you know, I guess I wish everyone the best, and I don't know anything about the man, so I'm not going to rush to judge him on one thing or another, but I would say he has a scientifically impossible task, because all religions, but certainly the Catholic Church, is really a house built on sand, and it's drowning in a sea of conditional love, and therefore it can't survive, and actually the office of Pope itself is an anti-Christian office, the idea that Christ needs a representative is laughable and blasphemous at the same time, therefore it is a house built on sand, and we need to rescue God from religion, all religions, they've become a smokescreen that distracts people from the fact that there is a holy spirit, and when you study the Gospels you see the Christ character came to tell us that we only need to talk directly to God, we never needed Religion… Asked whether from her point of view, it is therefore irrelevant who is elected to be pope, O'Connor replied, "Genuinely I don't mean disrespect to Catholic people because I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in the Holy Spirit, all of those, but I also believe in all of them, I don't think it cares if you call it Fred or Daisy, you know? Religion is a smokescreen, it has everybody talking to the wall. There is a Holy Spirit who can't intervene on our behalf unless we ask it. Religion has us talking to the wall. The Christ character tells us himself: you must only talk directly to the Father; you don't need intermediaries. We all thought we did, and that's ok, we're not bad people, but let's wake up… God was there before religion; it's there [today] despite religion; it'll be there when religion is gone."
In August 2018, via an open letter, she asked Pope Francis to excommunicate her, as she had asked of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II.
In October 2018, O'Connor converted to Islam, calling it "the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian's journey". The ceremony was conducted in Ireland by Sunni Islamic theologian Shaykh Umar Al-Qadri. She also changed her name to Shuhada' Davitt. In a message on Twitter, she thanked fellow Muslims for their support and uploaded a video of herself reciting the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer. She also posted photos of herself wearing a hijab.

July 26, 2023: 8th of Av: The fast of Tishah B'Av begins this evening at sunset. Some of the fast's mourning practices--such as refraining from Torah study other than texts related to the events and nature of the fast day--are observed beginning from midday today. The final meal before the start of the fast, eaten shortly before sunset, is called seudah hamafseket. Only one cooked food is eaten at this meal, customarily an egg dipped in ashes. "Eichah"--the Book of Lamentations--is read tonight in the synagogue after evening prayers.
July 26, 2023: 8th of Av: "Nine Days' During the “Nine Days" from Av 1st to the Ninth of Av, we mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple. We abstain from meat and wine, music, haircutting, bathing for pleasure, and other joyous (and dangerous) activities. (The particular mourning customs vary from community to community, so consult a competent halachic authority for details.) Consumption of meat and wine is permitted on Shabbat, or at a seudat mitzvah (obligatory festive meal celebrating the fulfillment of certain mitzvot) such as a brit (circumcision), or a siyum celebrating the completion of a course of Torah study (i.e., a complete Talmudic tractate). The Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory initiated the custom of conducting or participating in a siyum on each of the Nine Days (even if one does not avail oneself of the dispensation to eat meat). Citing the verse "Zion shall be redeemed with mishpat [Torah] and its returnees with tzedakah," (Isaiah 1:27) the Rebbe urged that we increase in Torah study (particularly the study of the laws of the Holy Temple) and charity during this period.
July 26, 2023: 8th of Av: Daily Thought Already Heard “I was in the midst of the exile, on the river of Kevar.” (Ezekiel 1:1) (Kevar is the Hebrew word for “already.”) At the onset of the exile, Ezekiel sat on the bank of a river called “I heard that already.” It is a river so cold, it can make icicles from fiery sparks of wisdom. It is a river of exile. Because it is a lie. Wisdom never says, “I heard that already.” When you truly hear, when you absorb wisdom deep within your soul until it means everything to you, it is new to you each time you hear it, again and again. Torat Menachem 5751, vol. 1, page 330
Touch: "Pilot" (alternatively "Tales of the Red Thread") is the first episode of Touch. It originally aired in a special preview event held January 25, 2012, on FOX.
"Today we'll send over 300 billion e-mails 19 billion text messages. Yet we'll still feel alone. The average person will say 2,250 words to 7.4 other individuals. Will these words be used to hurt or to heal? The ratio is always the same. 1 to 1.618, over and over and over again. The patterns are hidden in plain sight. You just have to know where to look. Things most people see as chaos actually follow subtle laws of behavior. Galaxies, plants, seashells. The patterns never lie. But only some of us can see how the pieces fit together. 7,080,360,000 of us live on this tiny planet. This is the story of some of those people. There's an ancient Chinese myth about the Red Thread of Fate. It says the gods have tied a red thread around every one of our ankles and attached it to all the people whose lives we're destined to touch. This thread may stretch, or tangle, but it'll never break. It's all predetermined by mathematical probability, and it's my job to keep track of those numbers, to make the connections for those who need to find each other, the ones whose lives need to touch. I was born 4,161 days ago, on October 26, 2000. I've been alive for 11 years, 4 months, 21 days and 14 hours. And in all that time I've never said a single word." - Jake Bohm
A Web search leads Jake's father, Martin, to the Teller Institute, a rundown home at 318 West Tesla Street. Arthur Teller explains that, on his own, Jake discovered the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical ratio concerning patterns repeated in nature: a wave's curve, a shell's spiral, segments of a pineapple. Jake sees vast connections that amount to road maps, and it's Martin's job, his destiny, to follow them for Jake.
"Imagine the unspeakable beauty of the universe he sees! No wonder he doesn't talk." - Arthur Teller on Jacob Bohm
In the 2012 television series Touch, season 1, episode 9, "Music of the Spheres", Jacob "Jake" Bohm, a mute boy who mysteriously feels the suffering of those along his path and aims to positively adjust their fates, is revealed as possibly one of the "Lamed Vav Tzadikim" by a Hasidic man. In the second season of Touch, Jake and other people who have special gifts are referred to as members of the 36; throughout the episodes they are exploited for their capabilities and are hunted down by one who believes they hold too much power. The final episode features consideration of the Kabbalah and the mystical roots of the legend of the 36.
Lamedvavnik (Yiddish: למד־װאָװניק), is the Yiddish term for one of the 36 humble righteous ones or Tzadikim mentioned in kabbalah or Jewish mysticism. According to this teaching, at any given time there are at least 36 holy persons in the world who are Tzadikim. These holy people are hidden; i.e., nobody knows who they are. According to some versions of the story, they themselves may not know who they are. For the sake of these 36 hidden saints, God preserves the world even if the rest of humanity has degenerated to the level of total barbarism. This is similar to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Hebrew Bible, where God told Abraham that he would spare the city of Sodom if there was a quorum of at least 10 righteous men. Since nobody knows who the Lamedvavniks are, not even themselves, every Jew should act as if he or she might be one of them; i.e., lead a holy and humble life and pray for the sake of fellow human beings. It is also said that one of these 36 could potentially be the Jewish Messiah if the world is ready for them to reveal themselves. Otherwise, they live and die as an ordinary person. Whether the person knows they are the potential Messiah is debated. (Wikipedia)

April 22, 1945 (Sunday) Hitler held a conference on the afternoon of April 22, 1945 in the Führerbunker to discuss the military situation. Upon being informed that the Steiner attack had not happened, and that the Soviets were now entering the northern suburbs of Berlin, he flew into a rage. He denounced the Army, complained that his generals and anyone who had deserted him were cowards and had failed him, then he finally conceded that the war was indeed lost. Over the protests of all those present, Hitler stated that he would stay in Berlin to the absolute end and then shoot himself, rather than try to escape to the south. Heinrich Himmler secretly met with Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden and asked him to act as an intermediary to offer the surrender of all German forces in the west. The message took 48 hours to reach the Allies and they did not take it seriously. (Wikipedia)

"There is no god! That's why I stepped in!" - High Evolutionary
The High Evolutionary presented himself at first look as a harbinger of the perfect society and species, seemingly appeared to be a noble and knowledgeable being who wants to create a perfect world with the perfect species. However, this was only a façade to hide the true person underneath, a selfish, cruel, and heartless egomaniac, who wants to control everything under his name and a psychopathic man who in essence wanted to be seen and treated as a god.

In 2013, 456,000 women younger than 20 became pregnant. Some 448,000 of those pregnancies were among 15–19-year-olds, and 7,400 were among those aged 14 and younger. https://www.guttmacher.org/report/us-adolescent-pregnancy-trends-2013.

Trump Preached White Supremacy in Minnesota, America Barely Noticed. Touting "the racehorse theory" and the superiority of the genes of white Minnesotans, Trump explicitly embraced eugenics September 22, 2020 Trump then addressed the racial unrest in Minneapolis that followed the homicide of George Floyd at the hands of police. Trump recounted his push to have the National Guard sent in, insisting, “You wouldn’t have Minneapolis,” if he hadn’t. He then recounted, with a sadist’s delight, how an NBC correspondent of color, Ali Veshi, got injured with a non-lethal round and was shunted aside as a phalanx of law enforcement marched through the city. “Wasn’t it a beautiful sight?” Trump asked. “It’s called law and order!” With this racist warmup complete, Trump then veered into an open endorsement of eugenics — the discredited theory that the human race can be improved with selective breeding for superior traits. The theory has an ugly history in America. And Hitler’s embrace of eugenics in Nazi Germany gave rise to the program of “race hygiene” that culminated in the extermination of millions of Jewish people and others at death camps. “You have good genes, you know that right?” Trump said to the nearly all-white crowd. “A lot of it is about the genes, isn’t it? Don’t you believe? The racehorse theory,” Trump said. “You think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-white-supremacy-racehorse-theory-1064928/

'Tennis-Ball-Sized' Hail Splashes Into Northern Minnesota Lake Large hailstones splashed into a lake in northern Minnesota on July 19, 2023 as “strong to severe” thunderstorms swept through the region, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Lori Neal told Storyful she captured this video while vacationing at her parents’ cabin. She explained that as everyone went into vehicle and property “protection mode,” she went to the back deck to document the up to tennis-ball-sized hail. The video shows heavy hailstones making a splash as it lands in the lake. The NWS warned of large hail and damaging winds up to 60 mph in the area.

Palm Beach, Florida: Mar-a-Lago:
In protest against Trump's remarks on the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, six nonprofit organizations canceled scheduled gala events at the club. The charities canceling included the American Red Cross and the American Cancer Society. The club has been frequently cited for health code violations. In January 2017, Florida inspectors noted 15 infractions that included unsafe seafood, insufficiently refrigerated meats, rusty shelving, and cooks without hairnets. Since 2013, it has faced 51 health code violations. In September 2019, Mar-a-Lago became the primary residence for Donald and Melania Trump, who previously held primary residence in New York City. The legality of this has been disputed because, in 1993, Trump signed a "use agreement" with the town of Palm Beach, Florida, that changed Mar-a-Lago's designation from a single-family residence to a private club and specified that guests, including Trump, could not stay there more than three non-consecutive weeks per year. In December 2020, neighbors of Mar-a-Lago delivered a demand letter to the town of Palm Beach, stating that the town should notify Trump that he cannot use the estate as his residence. Trump argues that he can live at Mar-a-Lago permanently as a bona fide employee.
In a 2022 lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, it was alleged that Trump inflated the value of Mar-a-Lago to $739 million, when the property should actually be valued at $75 million.
Upon departing the White House in January 2021, Trump transported a large volume of presidential records to Mar-a-Lago, despite storage of such materials being subject to the Presidential Records Act. Seeking to preserve presidential communications and correspondence with world leaders, the National Archives and Records Administration arranged to retrieve 15 boxes of material from Mar-a-Lago in January 2022. These included documents clearly marked as classified, prompting the Department of Justice to restrict any details regarding the contents of the 15 boxes. On May 11, 2022, the Justice Department sent Trump a grand jury subpoena, requesting any additional documents marked classified. A later subpoena requested surveillance footage from the club. On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the residence of former U.S. president Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida. The search warrant application was authorized by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and approved by Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, following a criminal referral by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The order, unsealed a few days after the search, showed that the FBI obtained the search warrant as part of an investigation into Trump relating to three federal criminal statutes: violations of the Espionage Act regarding unauthorized retention of national defense information; destroying or concealing records "with the intent to impede obstruct or influence" federal government activity; illegal removal or destruction of federal government records (without respect to cause). Over 13,000 government documents were recovered. They included nuclear-related information and FBI, CIA, and NSA information about national security interests. Of these documents, 337 were classified: 197 handed over in January 2022, 38 turned over under subpoena in June 2022, and 102 seized in the August search of Mar-a-Lago. Months later, at least two more documents with classified markings were uncovered at Trump locations. On June 8, 2023, Trump was indicted on federal charges related to the documents. On June 13, 2023, Trump surrendered to federal custody and was arrested, booked, processed, and arraigned in the U.S. District Court of South Florida. Trump pleaded not guilty to all 37 charges. On July 27, 2023, a new version of the indictment (superseding the old) added three counts against Donald John Trump. (Wikipedia)
Lightning strikes tree in southern Palm Beach County, sends person to hospital Unclear if patient was actually struck by lightning or was just very close to strike By: Scott Sutton WPTV News Posted at 7:55 PM, Jul 21, 2023 and last updated 5:55 PM, Jul 21, 2023 PALM BEACH COUNTY, Florida. — Fire rescue officials in Palm Beach County took a person to the hospital after a tree was struck by lightning Friday afternoon.

Sky News Dramatic hailstorm pummels Italy - days after searing heatwave Sat, 22 July 2023 at 4:08 am GMT-7·1-min read An icy torrent swarmed trough the streets of a town near Milan after a dramatic hailstorm with tennis-ball sized hail in northern Italy. Small ice sheets appeared to form on the surface of fast-moving water deluging part of Seregno. In footage circulating on social media, taken from an upper floor, the person behind the camera says: "It looks like a river flowing." The street in the video is deserted other than for a man attempting to sweep floodwater out of the ground floor of a building. "I see the shoes-shop owner in front on me and water is coming inside the shop," someone out of shot in the videos says. It followed a severe hailstorm that battered Italy's northern Lombardy region, home to Milan, and the northeastern Veneto region. The region was already reeling from a severe heatwave that had gripped almost the whole of Italy, bringing temperatures of 44C (111F) in the southern island of Sicily. Scientists agree heatwaves in all parts of the world are getting stronger and more likely due to climate change. https://uk.style.yahoo.com/icy-water-courses-italian-streets-110800074.html

BA4rSO-h9Io abhioors 1+2+8+9+50+50+80+90=290 290+4+9=303 Area code 303 is located in central Colorado and covers Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, Arvada, Westminster, and Centennial.
Room 303 was a room within the Heart O' The City Hotel from Mega City in the Matrix. It contained a hardline, and so was a location that redpills could use to safely escape from the Matrix. Trinity conducted her surveillance of Thomas Anderson from a laptop computer in this room. She was forced to flee after the Agents cut the room's hardline, forcing her to find another exit.
Neo was directed to the same hotel room to escape from the Matrix and pursuing Agents. However, Agent Smith ambushed Neo and shot him before he could reach the phone there. After defeating Smith, Neo escaped the Matrix using the phone in Room 303 before the Nebuchadnezzar disabled the Sentinels, and itself, by using EMP.
Sixty years later, Neo's Modal contains a simulated reenactment of Trinity's escape from the Agents in this room which is witnessed by Bugs.
The number "303" appears to be an allusion to the character Trinity, whose name in Christian theology defines the three-in-one nature of the single Christian God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This allusion is supported by Trinity kissing the lifeless Neo, whose life functions return as Neo transfigures into the One after exiting the room. (Fandom.com)

Since we last checked in, I have finished 0 books and bought 10 more (this time at a cost of $7). Again no proper treasure; I feel like most of these are destined for "read and release," but maybe they’ll surprise me. I’m still more excited about this collection than the last one, though. From bottom to top --
YA
1. Summer of Sloane - Erin Schneider: this has been on my theoretical TBR since 2016, when the Goodreads algorithm was still decent about showing me YA novel options that actually matched my tastes. My library system never had a copy, so now it's at my leisure. I don't feel like it's a keeper, and maybe it’s only a standard 3-star read, but I still want to read it. Because Hawaii.
2. Heartwood Box - Ann Aguire: I know nothing about this title or author, but between that cover and "when Araceli Flores Harper is sent to live with her great-aunt Ottilie in her ramshackle Victorian home" I basically locked on. Further skimming of the synopsis sounds like it's a suspenseful read with a tinge of supernatural horror; either way I'm here for it.
3. Open Road Summer - Emery Lord: I've never read this author but I want to; she's perfectly suited to my tastes. I've been kicking myself for not taking a chance on this specific one ever since I saw it at a used bookstore 3 years ago; local library doesn't have it and I always (eventually) have a use for books about singers on tour, YA or otherwise.
4. The Next Together - Lauren James: normally this kind of book would not even be on my radar; the idea of soulmates who are reborn to meet and re-meet over centuries is just not a vibe I can normally make my peace with because it's too sad (one life and then heaven, that's the soulmate route for me!). But it turns out the Loki series is opening my brain up to all the book genres I normally write off sight unseen, and that plus the fact that this includes mixed-media formatting immediately made the summary tingle my brain.
Children’s and/or nonfiction
5. Macadoo of the Maury River - Gigi Amateau: Chancey of the Maury River was one of the greatest delights and surprises of 21st century children's literature, but after the sequels were published my library never bought them. Now I can read this one! I expect it will be just as good; these books are modeled on Black Beauty while aware that their target audience is as young as 8.
6. Animals Welcome: A Life of Reading, Writing and Rescue - Peg Kehret: I've not read as many of Kehret's books as you'd think a prolific reader of my age would have, but I've cherished a few. She's a very prolific and respectable children's author and I am so thrilled to read this late-in-life memoir for her target audience centered around her pets and animal rescues.
7. Thoroughbred: Ashleigh #9, Holiday Homecoming: the short prequel series about middle school aged Ashleigh Griffin wasn't as cherished a part of my childhood as the original series, but I did read a couple, and because I love Ashleigh I can't help collecting any I come across, even though they will probably always live stored in cardboard boxes. Chris Platt actually wrote this installment, which is fine because Platt is a solid horse book author in her own write.
8. Ponies of Chincoteague #2: Blue Ribbon Summer - Catherine Hapka: okay I now have FIVE of these without having read a single one -- an 8-book series about modern-day girls and their ponies inspired by Misty of Chincoteague -- but I also can't help collecting the 50-cent copies as I see them, they are just so clearly Books I Would Have Loved if they had existed when I was a kid, and are also still so clearly a reliable source of a Very Good Pony Tale today, when I'm in that mood.
9. The Trouble With Tuck - Theodore Taylor: a childhood favorite, but one I never owned. and it is so small and skinny that it is no trouble at all to keep.
10. Independent London: yes, this is a souvenir guide to small businesses, from 2012 at that, to a city in a country I've never been to and probably never will. But there is just something so FUN about taking an <i>imaginary</i> shopping trip through guides like this, pocket sized and each one featuring a glossy photo of the store's interior/wares and a cute little paragraph about what they offer, like catalog copy. I'd like to hold onto it at least long enough for a thorough browse.
Books I Put Back:
* This Star Won’t Go Out in perfect like-new condition. Which I was very sad about. Because I did enjoy and do want that book, and I will never find a better deal on price + condition. But is is just so enormous, as big as the 5th Harry Potter book but even heavier, and it simply would take up too much room.
* Chateau of Flowers: The Romantic Story of Lily of the Valley: I might regret this one a little, because this book was beautiful. Click the link and look at it, it’s the jacket-less edition shown. It was small -- mass market paperback sized -- but a beautiful soft green faux-leather cover with just that embossed silver flower design on the cover (no words) and similarly embossed title on the spine. I CANNOT be out here buying books solely because they would look pretty on my shelf (the shelf on which I have negative 16 feet of space to spare), so I made myself put it back, but I seriously considered it.
(The other reason was that it turned out to be a Harlequin novel, and not really a bad one in terms of being explicit, just rather cheesy in the way you’d expect from a 1971 publication date. And for personal dignity reasons I just cannot own something like that. But honestly, the angst looked like it might have been enjoyably cheesy, like a book you might enjoy from your grandma’s shelf...no! we shall not think of this any further. I hope someone buys it and guts it and turns it into a junk journal cover or something; that is its true destiny i think)

Bonus 2: this was a 30-minute drive but a fairly pleasant one, and the most fun part was that despite it being an overcast 40 degrees outside (and I decided against a coat), this library is near an absurdly large park with a ton of foot trails through the forest, and on a day like today it was entirely deserted despite being a Saturday. I spent an hour roaming around, and as the trails wind up and down a lot of hills -- mostly gentle inclines, but long ones -- it was quite a great thigh muscle workout, with the bonus reward of there being a lot of awesome benches made from giant logs split in half (hinged with metal supports) on high spots overlooking pretty ponds.
There were also a lot of cool older houses, many with barns (though no horses), whose backyards dotted the edges of the park boundaries here and there, so it felt like you were just granted access to roam through a neighbor’s property. In addition to the houses themselves just looking really cool.
Basically...what a great Saturday!

Binance vs kraken

#Binance vs kraken pro#
#Binance vs kraken plus#
So, if not Binance, which crypto marketplace should I use? And they are now left stranded, looking for the next place to call home. However, it’s still not enough for most countries like Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and some parts of the US (for Binance US, like Hawaii, Idaho, New York, Texas, etc.).Īnd so, Binance withdrew from these places for the time being, which resulted in a mass exodus of customers. It ensures that transactions are not being used for money laundering and terrorist financing.Īs a response to this, Binance has updated its KYC policy. Well, it’s because compared to other exchanges, Binance has a very lax policy when it comes to KYC (Know Your Customer). Read more Why is Binance suddenly not available in many countries?īinance is currently one of the largest cryptocurrency exchange platforms with $40 billion in daily trading volume. In the recent years, Bitcoin has catapulted into popularity all over the world. This news is republished from another source.10 Trusted Bitcoin Exchanges to Buy BTCs Safely

Especially compared to Kraken, where $100 in BTC would cost you 3.75% plus the $0.25 convenience fee, putting you at $104. That means at 0.10% fee for Bitcoin, a purchase of $100 of Bitcoin would end up being $100.10 in total, not bad at all. But lets assume you are new to Binance and do not have any Binance Coin to use toward the fees. Keep in mind though that you could get a 25% reduction on transaction fees if you pay with Binance Coin (incentives!).
#Binance vs kraken pro#
And on top of that, Binance fees are even lower than Kraken Pro fees.įor example, a trade for Bitcoin on Binance would have a 0.10% fee starting out. So as you can see, Binance fees are quite a bit lower than Kraken’s 3.75% starter fee. On the higher end, so if you are dealing in low trade volumes, Binance fees max out for both maker and taker fees at 0.10%. Binance also uses the maker/taker discrepancy where fees differ based on whether the transaction is adding liquidity to the market (maker fees) or taking away liquidity from the market (taker fees).īased on this, Binance fees range from as low as 0.02% on maker transactions and 0.04% on taker transactions. Again, fees are dependent on your trade volume in the past 30 days, but with reductions applying for the amount of Binance Coin (BNB) you hold. And the taker fees range from 0.26% to 0.10%, also extremely palatable.īinance employs a similar fee structure. Within this structure, the maker fees range from 0.16% all the way down to 0% (meaning you don’t pay anything in maker fees at a certain volume). Kraken employs a maker/taker fee schedule incentivized by lower fees for higher volume trades. It does offer Kraken Pro, however, where the fees are much more competitive. Add it up, and you could be looking at up to 5% on top of your transaction in fees alone, a very high amount. There is also a 0.9% fee for stablecoins and 1.5% for any other crypto or FX pair. The fee is 3.75% of your deposit in processing fees, plus $0.25. But fees are going to be quite high if you’re planning on using this method. Kraken offers the convenience of being able to use a debit or credit card.
