I think it just helped with trying to figure out something that we haven't really seen before. Although it's hard nowadays to really come up with something unique at times, it's nice to look at other objects around to see what could be "created". Going into this with Mike, I felt like we were inspired by the <i>"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"</i> film that is cheesy and just fun to watch!</div><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><b>Q.2) What is the best thing about working with Mike?</b></div></span><div><br /><u>Paul Dulski</u> - Easy to work with, and he knows what he wants and executes the story just by telling him the monster. Literally by mentioning the Popcorn Monster, I once thought of. He completely wrapped up a story for us within 20 mins, and the last thing he mentioned before he began work. He had already thought of a Sequel, and this comic hasn't even been released yet. I also think we both enjoy the classic, old school films that aren't big budget and we tried to have fun.</div><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><b>Q.3) Colored comics or black & white comics- which one do you prefer and why?</b></div><div dir="auto"><b><br /></b></div></span><div><u>Paul Dulski -</u> Honestly I'd love to do a colored comic one day, but with the cost of stuff going up and colored comics makes it that much harder. As black and white, it is a classic throwback to the old films, Universal Monsters... Nosferatu which is also a silent film. I think the "silentness" mixed with our black and white stories I help create, I would hope catches the readers eyes. Nodding at the fact that it's what we were grown up with at times, black and white shows, example The Munsters.</div><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><b>Q.4) What makes your comic a must read?</b></div></span></div><div dir="auto"><b><br /></b></div><div><u>Paul Dulski -</u> If anyone is a fan of old nostalgic black and white, fun, goofy, cheesy and bad but good acting. I think they would enjoy this throwback to what we had growing up, while keeping the black and white style alive. If not, then hopefully they don't <i>"pop"</i> at the sight of the monster itself.</div></div><div dir="auto" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></div><div dir="auto" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Now, we will dive M.J.

Myers -</u> Mainly sci-fi movies from the 1950-60s. Where the special effects were goofy and sometimes the story plot was goofy. Well, Paul and I wanted to do a “goofy” horror story while paying homage to these classic films. So when you read From Beyond… The Killer Popcorn Monster you’ll find references to The Blob, Aliens, Children of the Corn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a few others.</div><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Q.2) Your art style is unique. What comics inspired your art style?</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div></span><div dir="auto"><u>M. J. Myers -</u> I’m a big Superman fan and I’d have to say Curt Swan, Jerry Ordway and John Byrne art influenced me the most. But I would also mention Frank Miller on Daredevil, Mike Mignola doing Hellboy, and Mike Allred work on Madman.</div><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Q.3) How was your experience while working with Paul on this project?</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div></span><div dir="auto"><u>M.J. Myers -</u> He is an amazing person to work with. He gave me a lot of freedom and input with this comic. </div><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="auto">Paul is a treasure trove of horror movie knowledge and he has a lot of great ideas and it was really exciting to work on this project. </div></span><span style="color: #500050;"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><span class="im"><div dir="auto">Q.4) What makes your comic a must read?</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div></span></span><div dir="auto"><u>M.J. Myers -</u> I think whether it’s a movie, a book, or a TV show, a person wants to be taken on a journey. They also want to make sure they get their money’s worth. I think “From Beyond…” is definitely worth people’s time and money. This comic is gonna be a wild ride!</div></div><div dir="auto" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">That's all for the question and answers!

Some banks such as Islamic banks, don't charge interest and thus, only have to rely on other sources of income such as investment in shares and commission for selling insurance or other products. </p><p><br /></p><p>Banks in many countries tend to be owned by the government but there are many banks which are private. Especially the case with developing countries such as India. The monetary policy is decided by the top banks such as the Reserve Bank of India (R.B.I.) in India and Federal Bank in the USA.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is the monetary policy? It is the policy that decides the interest rates indirectly as the smaller banks are forced to reserve some percentage of money with the top banks. Such rates are the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR). Cash Reserve Ratio requires banks to deposit money in the Cash form while Statutory Liquidity Ratio requires banks to deposit in liquid assets. Such ratios are usually decided by the government during the annual budgets. </p><p><br /></p><p>Banking provides a lucrative career option. From finance to marketing and HR to ATM technicians, everyone can get a job at bank. As for entrepreneurs, setting up a bank requires a lot of capital and abiding by the rules set by the government and the top bank. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, banks are unique institutions worth your attention and banking is an art as well as a science of securely managing money and providing the money to those that need it the most. </p>DarshDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03684882607924120996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356246081201692447.post-14503175090186348002022-05-31T03:48:00.003-07:002022-05-31T04:19:05.845-07:00Inspiring Interview with Steve Sekula - the Creator of Gem Blenders TCG<p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg39NITWmHSf2s40p4FymHyToXmITWY3yqlr_9PNDU2SJFZRwe98Fjok-y-6WMGLwzb582qhrIL_gJNT-gMw5bKEH6TT-zhl18Dr3dCmDy7d_4ce-CXWM6Bb6IoA0069nw2SqzMuGScQNZ5qNlNzS0tbZR9eNmpcs1_txwHJoszFnwWy28WaNzlUho7mQ/s698/Gem%20Blenders%20Interview%20Banner%20May%202022%20v2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg39NITWmHSf2s40p4FymHyToXmITWY3yqlr_9PNDU2SJFZRwe98Fjok-y-6WMGLwzb582qhrIL_gJNT-gMw5bKEH6TT-zhl18Dr3dCmDy7d_4ce-CXWM6Bb6IoA0069nw2SqzMuGScQNZ5qNlNzS0tbZR9eNmpcs1_txwHJoszFnwWy28WaNzlUho7mQ/s16000/Gem%20Blenders%20Interview%20Banner%20May%202022%20v2.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br />We have the privilege to talk with Steve Sekula, the creator of Gem Blenders Trading Card Game, based in Brooklyn, NY, USA.

It felt like I was finally putting the proper energy into an idea that I had in the back of my mind for a long time. <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stevesekula/gem-blenders-the-card-game" target="_blank">Successfully funding the Kickstarter</a> and printing our first set of cards was equal parts exciting and nerve-racking; suddenly, the game I wanted to share with the world was not just my passion project.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">To match the additional responsibilities of a small business, the team has expanded with Sam, David, and Ben all taking on official roles over the last couple of years. They’ve been invaluable in helping navigate the many challenges of making an indie TCG. One notable difficulty has been cultivating a strong playerbase. Finding new players to teach the game to has been very hard because the nature of TCGs requires a certain level of commitment. For new TCG IPs in particular, players must take an additional leap of faith.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This is our team’s first business venture so everything has been a learning experience for us.

It’s a super unique concept in many ways, and I see potential for all of the above. Most likely, our next one will be some sort of print/digital medium that explores the lore of Gemlandia more in depth. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I could see potential for some kind of video game RPG adaptation in the near future, and a cartoon series after that! </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Q.6) There is an intense competition from other established card games but despite that we see that your card game has become popular. How did you convince the card game players to check out your card game despite other big brands being in the limelight? </span></span></p><p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Steve: </b>Right now we have a tight-knit community that is excited about playing Gem Blenders, and we are so proud of what we’ve built thus far. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What we offer is extremely different from major games in the genre, and I think the players that play Gem Blenders are looking for something different! Players have direct access to the creation of the game and the creator. It's a much smaller community, also making it very intimate and special. Every player has a direct influence on the game in their own way. Our blog, <a href="https://www.gemblenders.com/blog/" target="_blank">The Gemlandian</a>, is an excellent example of how much our players care about the game. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Additionally, we’re in the process of adding collectibility to the game.

That Kickstarter funded a super limited-quantity “Creator’s Edition” print run of 500 Starter Sets and 500 Master Sets, which are designed to give players full access to the cards so they can get playing and deck building right away. This is considered a living card game (LCG), because we didn’t have an element of collectability or card rarity. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">After some time, we’ve decided it is time to transition into a fully fledged trading card game with a bunch of exciting upgrades, including booster packs, full art template designs, and holographic cards!

Prior to the Kickstarter campaign, Steve began Gem Blenders as a passion project, in which he illustrated the characters and prototyped game mechanics. With the help of his friends, it has rapidly grown into a tight-knit community. Our goal is to continue to grow our playerbase and further develop the game through the addition of new sets and expanded lore. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /> Gem Blenders is largely inspired by major titles in the trading card game genre such as Magic: The Gathering, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. While Gem Blenders draws inspiration from many sources, it offers a unique and fresh experience within the genre. Notable game mechanics include blending, an emphasis on multicolored decks, a reduced emphasis on card destruction, and the four-hero position system.</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c91f7ce" data-element_type="column" data-id="c91f7ce" style="--align-content: initial;

With inspiration from the early internet and retro video games, Gem Blender’s simple (and lovable) characters and lo-fi accents shape the distinctive world of Gemlandia. As you explore card effects, lore, and descriptions, you’ll get to know all of the heroes and blends and their distinct personalities. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /> Prior to our Kickstarter campaign, Gem Blenders was rigorously playtested at the NYU Game Center, NYC Game Makers meetup group, Play NYC, Gen Con 2019, Emagination Computer Camps, and online using Cockatrice. We continue to playtest future cards online using our community Discord, and we are always in search of new and experienced card game players alike. Unlike bigger card games, we encourage and rely on community input in the creation and balancing of new cards. If you are interested in learning about our playtesting process, please do not hesitate to get involved!</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></section><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4a2baba elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider" data-element_type="widget" data-id="4a2baba" data-widget_type="divider.default" style="--align-content: initial;

Hervé’s On Mars Art has a great social media presence which promotes Mars facts, art, and generates curiosity among the people about Mars exploration. What I found remarkable was the line – “<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px;">Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) making art on Mars</strong>“. I think it is an important aspect that needs to be remembered. We could explore and get images of Mars because of a Rover, which is a type of a robot with some automation and Artificial Intelligence. The images from another planet in your living room as a unique artwork does sound epic, right? Thus, Hervé decided to start providing artwork prints and delivering them worldwide through the best local providers so that the art appreciators get the Martian artworks at a fair value with a reasonably fast delivery. </p><p style="border: 0px;

I learned about the term storm chasers because of it. Let me tell you about it.</p><div dir="auto"><p dir="ltr"><b>
What is Storm chasing?</b><br />
Storm chasing is broadly defined as the deliberate pursuit of any severe weather phenomenon for adventure.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Well known Storm Chasers? </b><br />
The first person to gain public recognition as a storm chaser was David Hoadley (born 1938), who began chasing North Dakota storms in 1956, systematically using data from area weather offices and airports. He is widely considered the pioneer storm chaser and was the founder and first editor of Storm Track magazine.<br />
Timothy Michael Samaras (November 12, 1957 – May 31, 2013) was an American engineer and storm chaser best known for his field research on tornadoes and time on the Discovery Channel show, Storm Chasers.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>How do they do it?</b><br />
Be prepared! Get severe weather info before you hit the road. ...<br />
Have a travel safety kit in your car. ...<br />
Get the latest apps. ...<br />
Radio is your friend. ...<br />
Have an escape route. ...<br />
Stop driving in hail. ...<br />
Don't stop under an overpass. ...<br />
Stay in your car, unless you're nearing a tornado</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Storm chasing tourism-</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"> Storm Chasing Tours are the Ultimate Wild Weather Experience<br />
Extreme Tornado Tours. ...<br />

Tempest Tours. ...<br />

Silver Lining Tours. ...<br />
Extreme Chase Tours.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Are they still active?</b><br />
Storm chasers are most active in the spring and early summer, particularly May and June, across the Great Plains of the United States (extending into Canada) in an area colloquially known as Tornado Alley, with many hundred individuals active on some days during this period. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Is it worth it?</b><br />
A storm chaser makes a median salary of $18,000 a year, mostly from selling data, video, and photography they take. However a meteorologist makes far more than this, and are usually paid a salary by an employer</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Christian Neace's comedy YouTube video- </b><br />
Christian Neace's video about a Stormchaser features Erik as a storm and we see all the mayhem a storm causes. This is particularly important because of the 2021 flood situation in Europe. This is like a reminder for us to focus on disaster management and efforts to reverse climate change. The video ends in a funny way, and I highly recommend you to stay even after the credits because when Erik laughs, you're gonna laugh too</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Watch here-</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2cFQe6M8Klc" width="320" youtube-src-id="2cFQe6M8Klc"></iframe></div><p dir="ltr"><br /></p><p dir="ltr"> Check out other videos from Christian Neace too, like memes, animations, vlogs, educational videos like Space, lizards and much more!

My new EP Perspective drops on August 13th which documents the story of my family’s past. My father mentally and physically abused my family for all of my life. When he passed in 2017 I was finally free from the chains he placed on me and was free to finally live my life. I’m an advocate for domestic abuse and want to give victims of domestic abuse a voice and spread awareness of these issues and shed some light on what these victims go through. I am also an advocate for Mental health, as well as an animal rights advocate.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pXlT2xD9hfIl5qSGePB3Do0YnXkOOXEI4lXyMX94AGXIxAWEVuFu1De5ungPF6Ooa2GfgLqGJmWcjbp_0xSdw_3PuQi_IY104MmM5MesjdO4cfQzkdOk9KyVl14wR_uZBuOHD-2huFwJ/s2048/heidi-kaden-0rno_BuGoq8-unsplash.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1169" data-original-width="2048" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pXlT2xD9hfIl5qSGePB3Do0YnXkOOXEI4lXyMX94AGXIxAWEVuFu1De5ungPF6Ooa2GfgLqGJmWcjbp_0xSdw_3PuQi_IY104MmM5MesjdO4cfQzkdOk9KyVl14wR_uZBuOHD-2huFwJ/w400-h229/heidi-kaden-0rno_BuGoq8-unsplash.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "San Francisco", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Ubuntu, Roboto, Noto, "Segoe UI", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: whitesmoke; color: #111111; font-size: 13px; white-space: nowrap;"> Photo by </span><a href="https://unsplash.com/@infinitexplorer?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText" style="background-color: whitesmoke; box-sizing: border-box; color: #767676; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "San Francisco", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Ubuntu, Roboto, Noto, "Segoe UI", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration-skip-ink: auto; transition: color 0.1s ease-in-out 0s, opacity 0.1s ease-in-out 0s; white-space: nowrap;">Heidi Kaden</a><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "San Francisco", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Ubuntu, Roboto, Noto, "Segoe UI", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: whitesmoke; color: #111111; font-size: 13px; white-space: nowrap;"> on </span><a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/memphis-tennessee?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText" style="background-color: whitesmoke; box-sizing: border-box; color: #767676; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "San Francisco", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Ubuntu, Roboto, Noto, "Segoe UI", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration-skip-ink: auto; transition: color 0.1s ease-in-out 0s, opacity 0.1s ease-in-out 0s; white-space: nowrap;">Unsplash</a><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.1px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Q. 2) What or who inspired you to become a singer, songwriter and musician?</b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.1px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Cole:</b> Definitely the passing of my father in 2017. I’ve always loved music, I was a drummer before anything else, I’ve been in many bands and always loved the idea of creating music. But because of my father, I was too insecure to become a full time musician. Once he passed my Mother told me and my older brother we were free to do whatever we wanted in this life, and she would back us 100%. I chose to pursue music. I began working for years on becoming a producer, a better vocalist, and a songwriter. My family has been what keeps me going and inspires me every day. My mentor and vocal coach has also been an inspiration to me. She taught me to dig deep and discover my inner artist and discover what I truly wanted to say as an artist.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.1px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Q. 3) Who are some of your favorite singers and musicians?

I’ve gotten to share my story with people since the release of first single Girl Underwater, and it has opened up so many conversations with people I’ve never met, but also people I’ve known for years. My advice to any musician would be find what it is that inspires you to create. Something I’ve learned from my mentor is that we all have a story, something that drives us! Find your why, and use that to guide every choice you make as an artist.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.1px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Q. 7) What is the ultimate goal and dream for you?

It may sound pessimistic, but I chose to not set my expectations to high. That way I’m never disappointed and I always end up achieving more than I expected I would. All I want is to be able to live a life as a musician and to keep doing it for the rest of my life. It doesn’t mean I don’t have dreams but I always try to base my goals on realistic expectations! My family is who inspired me to set this goal.

I think especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, mental health issues have become more widely noticed so I think listeners will resonate with the track. I wrote this song during a time where my mental health was at its lowest. I had unresolved trauma from my past and I took time to focus on my mental health. I sat down one day at my piano and this song came pouring out. Mo was actually a writer on a lot of songs off my EP! We’ve been working together writing songs for a few years now, I knew once I had the first half of this song done she had to be on it. She too had been struggling with her mental health and I think for both of us this experience was a way to help each other through a difficult time. Mo is an extremely talented writing and was it was such a fun and amazing experience getting to collab with her on this track!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.1px;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Q. 9) Which genre of music would you like to work on besides your current one?

I’ve been working in alternative/pop and it’s where I wanna be! But I definitely would love to dabble in all types of genres. Every record I make I do wanna try and change my sound.

We started Suspicious Behavior Productions as a venue to independently explore our own stories in different media.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Q2.

Ed and I had a story we wanted to put out into the world, and a comic book seemed like the most appropriate (and affordable) format.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Q3.

Then he suggested that they would put a steel cage around the planet. For whatever reason, that image really grabbed me. We were pretty much off to the races from there. It's really a passion project fueled by our shared childhood love of wrestling.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Q4.

When someone gets an offer to work on a project from say, DC, it's hard to compete with that kind of prestige. You just have to remain open and flexible. We had to assemble an entirely different team to do our last three issues, but I think they're visually and creatively the strongest in the whole series.<br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Q5.

The worst thing is the industry's relationship with its talent. These men and women physically put themselves at risk on a nightly basis, they deserve a labor union and employer-provided health insurance. I was always a Randy Savage fan.

economy started, and so did the civilization. Science helped invent things that
made living easier, and better. We faced many wars, and plagues, and the latest
Corona Virus (COVID-19) is no different.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The virus made us
realize that when there are no other humans to create goods, or provide
services, our standard of living, and quality of life gets severely hit.
Sometimes even the survival is at risk when we don’t get the essential goods
like food, water, and medicines. Thus, the outbreak underlined the importance
of community, and civilization for humans. No one can live alone and survive
easily as we all need to contact someone for some sort of basic need. Whether
it be electricity, telephone/Internet providers, and of course, shop keepers
and our land lords if we’re in a rented apartment. Government since we need to
pay taxes for better services for not just us, but for future generation, and
people around us. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> This article doesn’t
want to say that we should go and live in a cabin in the woods like seen in
horror movies, or in the mountains like monks. We need to help citizens to produce goods while
living in the cities and towns. For them, as well as others.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj-7Im4RolU3TfmB2NE6Ke-lQ1Juoehpz3_LyPbE4MsmO-MYRsHNUSp8yj905hGoOu3oURpn8xSYwB_MBLCFCq5QHrHb0pzyeuGSYO0OQu53XwFISOSKbiR1B4m9cAnsZFJvtNgmbBBA1b/s2048/pexels+astronaut+-pixabay-2152.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2041" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj-7Im4RolU3TfmB2NE6Ke-lQ1Juoehpz3_LyPbE4MsmO-MYRsHNUSp8yj905hGoOu3oURpn8xSYwB_MBLCFCq5QHrHb0pzyeuGSYO0OQu53XwFISOSKbiR1B4m9cAnsZFJvtNgmbBBA1b/s320/pexels+astronaut+-pixabay-2152.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"> The first
thing that comes to my mind is greenhouses, and farms made in sky scrapers. As
I have seen NASA helping the astronauts to produce edible plants on the International
Space Station, we can help reduce the reliance on external produce, and maybe
help the country with our own excess produce too. By growing easy to grow plants
at home, like tomatoes, we can help get fresh vegetables, and reduce the burden
on the system. We can learn from such space farming and use it on Earth to
create sustainable resources and crops well planned for each home and colony</span><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><p class="MsoNormal">The next thing is helping the current farmers to preserve
their produce through cold storage, and helping them with effective logistics
that keep the vegetables and fruits fresh top reduce the wastage and loss. This
is mentioned because, at least in some developing countries like India, farmers
had to bear the loss of spoiled vegetables which were not transported to the markets
due to lockdown or unsold/not consumed within the time limit. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, we need to pay attention to the sustainability. As Corona
virus has strained the resources of not just the government, but people like
you and me too. We have to remember the rule of buying what’s required, and
only what’s needed. I still remember many speakers spread awareness about the
food wastage, so the value of food is something we learnt in lockdown as we
were trapped at home, and shops were closed, with food items either sold out,
or were expensive. Not to mention, the restaurants, & street food were also
unavailable due to social distancing norms made to help stop the spread of the
virus. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pollution was
reduced thanks to the lockdown and the effects on environment were visible to normal
eyes too. Cleaner air also means healthier you. Less air pollution also means
better crops, and less effect of pollution on the food we eat. We have to use
this opportunity to regulate the pollution when the virus is over, and even if
it’s not over, the rules made to help stop spread virus, can also help stop the
pollution from going above the limit, as now we require less people on roads.<o:p></o:p></p></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><p class="MsoNormal">Now as we open up and the life is going back to normal in
many countries like the US, we must try to make improvement and changes in our countries
and our habits which will help us to have a sustainable life and be better
prepared for any future emergencies like Corona virus.<o:p></o:p></p>Thank you for reading!! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;

It's not a toy, it's a puzzle that tests the brain as much as chess does. According to studies, Rubik's cube helps with the motor skills, reflexes, patience, concentration and problem solving skills of the users so children and adults both benefit a lot from solving it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiORkaeYHlwhJJhbHFxo1QZfzq2T1I1mgVFkb0S6GkynCw63yOL55aqDbBkl_-r2xi12RdtSWN7FIZ2fMluQB1Ue0SNXsp3vep5NsXQtyO6fatdn2qofmFoAi5HS18P7nnaWI2YrY1mdwL_/s984/Erno+Rubik+inventor+of+Rubik%2527s+cube.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="554" data-original-width="984" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiORkaeYHlwhJJhbHFxo1QZfzq2T1I1mgVFkb0S6GkynCw63yOL55aqDbBkl_-r2xi12RdtSWN7FIZ2fMluQB1Ue0SNXsp3vep5NsXQtyO6fatdn2qofmFoAi5HS18P7nnaWI2YrY1mdwL_/s320/Erno+Rubik+inventor+of+Rubik%2527s+cube.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p dir="ltr">

Today we chat with <b>Singer, Songwriter, and Music Producer, Cole Pryor</b>. Besides his inspirations, journey as a musician, and tips for future musicians, he shares the exciting information about his upcoming "Girl Underwater" the lead single off his debut EP "Perspective" available on April 30th, 2021! <a href="https://show.co/1L5lkpc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spotify Pre-Save link here</a> & Visit <a href="https://www.colepryormusic.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Colepryormusic.com</a> for more information! <div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 1 Thank you for the interview opportunity Cole! Please tell us about yourself and your work so that readers will get to know you better.</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Cole:</b> Not a problem!! Thank you for the interview! Well my name of course is Cole Pryor, I am a 24 year old singer, songwriter, and producer<b> from Columbus Ohio, USA</b>! I am an Alternative pop artist, right now we’re doing promo for my new single Girl Underwater which is set to<br /> release on April 30th on all streaming platforms! I am an <b>advocate for domestic violence</b>, as I grew up with a father who mentally, and physically abused my family for my entire life. I am also an <b>advocate for mental health issues</b>. My goal is to <b>inspire others</b> to pursue a healthier life after experiencing trauma. <i>To not let trauma define you, but instead use it as your greatest weapon to pursue a better life!</i> </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 2 How did your journey as a musician begin? Which was your first instrument that you learned or used?</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Cole:</b> Well when I was a child I played guitar and bass, but I never took them seriously. It didn’t click for me. My Dad and brother were both drummers, so when I was 13 I got my first drum set. To say it stuck is an understatement! I practiced all the time! Practicing rudiments, and learning different songs! My best friend and I got into playing music at the same time so we formed a band and that was where my love of music began! But my Dad didn’t see music as a career so I never got to become serious about it. My band at the time was doing great, we played a battle of the bands and won! But my dad caused the band to break up and I didn’t focus on music anymore after that. After his passing In 2017, my love for music resurfaced, I began working with a vocal coach, learning piano, leaning to write, and worked with music industry veterans and because of them I was able to write, produce, and co-mix my first record! </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 3 What or who inspires you as a musician, and a singer? How do you continue to be creative, and passionate about your work? </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b></b><b>Cole:</b> My biggest inspiration has always been the trauma that me and my family endured with my dad over the course of my lifetime. Songwriting truly was how I processed my emotions. It also help me to better understand my trauma. It gave me such insight into myself and my situation. I think everybody has the potential to be creative, but it takes discipline to sit down and really dig into those creative feelings and be willing to acknowledge them. I would say I remain passionate because I am a very driven individual. But also, I remain passionate because I truly want to inspire others to be themselves, and to help people who have endured traumatic experiences . To show them that no matter what happens in life, no matter what obstacles you’ve had to overcome, that life will get better! <i><b>You have the power to shape your destiny, and I want everyone to remember to ALWAYS be themselves! </b></i></div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 4 Which challenges did you face during your career, and what lessons did you learn by overcoming the challenges? </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>
<b>Cole:</b> Well my career is really just beginning! But I would say my biggest struggle even to this day is believing in myself. We are all our own worst enemies, and our own worst critics! But I have learned through all of this that kindness, and self love really go a long way. If we don’t believe in ourselves how can we expect others to believe in us. I try to remind myself every day that I- I am enough. I am by no means perfect, and I still have bad days but I’m much kinder to myself than I use to be! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq4NZCfSEDcK_U3ev1ppMGlne9uJNwKUYv3WRixnowIutPbet4aaZU5ZQUx-5m4HdNUViQyH910kuNvzA2ffu0pVmDo0oByE7Y8uZhNLMsDRJrC1FiCiCnkGGR3dyOMPeXD8mQc7caTaes/s500/Detective+Pikachu+all+Pokemons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="282" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq4NZCfSEDcK_U3ev1ppMGlne9uJNwKUYv3WRixnowIutPbet4aaZU5ZQUx-5m4HdNUViQyH910kuNvzA2ffu0pVmDo0oByE7Y8uZhNLMsDRJrC1FiCiCnkGGR3dyOMPeXD8mQc7caTaes/s320/Detective+Pikachu+all+Pokemons.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 5 Besides making music and singing, what other hobbies interest you? </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b></b><b>Cole:</b> Anyone who follows my social media pages know I am a <a href="https://www.pokemon.com/us/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pokémon</a> fanatic!! Pokémon is probably one of the most important things in my life! I’m also an anime lover, gamer, and animal lover! When I’m not making music I am working at my day job as an animal nutritionist. I’ve got dogs, reptiles, and fish! So I love spending time with my animals! But overall, I’m a big nerd! </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 6 Which of your music releases in the past would you consider as your best work?</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Cole:</b> Girl Underwater will be <b>my first original release.</b> In the past I’ve <b>done covers</b> that I have been proud of but nothing compares to releasing original music. When reviewing my record to decide which song would go first as the lead single, I knew Girl Underwater was going to be the lead single! From the moment it was written I knew it. There are a few songs off my EP that people really gravitated towards. Girl Underwater was one of them. I am extremely proud of my entire EP, but it’s the songs that really resonate with people that I’m most proud of! But you’ll have to wait to here those songs once my EP Perspective comes out later this year! </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 7 What is the best way to start as a musician, and a singer for anyone interested in entering the music industry?</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Cole:</b> Honestly my advice to anyone who wants to become a musician is to <b>just do it.</b> It takes lots of discipline and practice but it’s worth it! Just go out and buy a cheap piano, guitar, or drum set and just sit in your room and practice and practice and practice. Then once you do that go find some other local musicians and collaborate with them. Find opportunities to learn from others soak up all the knowledge that you possibly can! I am by no means a successful artist but all I can say is that it is truly hard work but it is work worth doing! If you are wanting to become a singer the best advice I can give you is find a vocal coach! Not just any vocal coach, but one that truly understands the voice and how it works. My last bit of advice would be to not try to be like somebody else. I know it’s easy to get stuck in that mindset but if you just focus on your story and focus on who you are your true artist will shine through. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3gtKWroQBVI" width="320" youtube-src-id="3gtKWroQBVI"></iframe></div><br /><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gtKWroQBVI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Girl Underwater- Cover Reveal Trailer on YouTube</a></div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 8 What or who inspired you to create your upcoming single Girl Underwater that’s going to release on April 30th, 2021? Is there any deep meaning behind the song which the listeners need to know about?</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Cole:</b> The inspiration behind this song is my Mom. This song documents her story of domestic abuse, it is the first chapter of my record! It’s where our story begins. This is a energetic alternative pop song! But it also deals with heavy subject matter that is extremely personal to my family.</div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 9 Considering the current pandemic situation, what challenges did you face as a musician, and how did you overcome it? Do you think the live concerts will ever return or the virtual events seem like the future for now?</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Cole:</b> Honestly I have had it pretty easy compared to other musicians. Since I am a relatively new artist I haven’t had my livelihood taken away for me. I can’t imagine what artists who relied on performing are going through right now. My heart breaks for the venues that are having to close their doors due to lack of business. <b>Music is something that truly brings people together </b>so I hate seeing the state live music is in! This pandemic has definitely caused my plans to change, and that has made things a little difficult. It also caused my record to get delayed multiple times. As for virtual concerts, I think it just depends on the artist. I definitely think that it has open the door to some truly creative performances especially from much bigger artist. It gives us smaller musicians a chance to connect with musicians and fans. I do think that live concerts will return, at least I hope they do! As much as I love seeing virtual concerts from all levels of artists, nothing beats a live concert! </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Q. 10 Finally, why would you consider your upcoming Single as a must listen? Is there anything else you would like to share with the readers about the Single, about your work, or anything else?</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Cole:</b> I would say this song is a must listen if you want to know my story, I think Girl Underwater is the best introduction to my music and to me as an artist. I hope that people will check out Girl Underwater when it drops ! I’ve poured my heart and soul into my music! I have kept my story quiet for many years, but I am finally ready to share my story with the world! </div><div><br /></div><div>
<b>Thank you so much for your time and for answering all the questions Cole. I wish you and your upcoming Single a lot of success</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>

The Light In the Darkness travels you into a journey where he thought would never show. Almost giving up on trying to find his forever, she came in at the right time without even knowing. This book tries to help demonstrate, it takes time and patience to find the one for you.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Spoiler-Free Review:- </span></b></p><p><b> Filmmaker, writer, poet, and podcaster from Vermont USA, Paul Dulski's Light in the Darkness is full of poems with a few important prose passages. </b>The book is like life. Taking you deep into hopelessness then towards hope and sharing real life stories of why life is worth living despite all the setbacks we encounter. </p><p> <b> It starts off with poems that will make you feel relatable</b> to what Paul is saying. The poems have a variety of topics, and emotions covered in them. Including friendships, love, betrayal, human nature, psychology, and society in general. Paul walks us through some of his personal experience too, but with skillful indirect way through poetry. It seems like the book has 3 parts, first which describes a person's descent into hopelessness, and darkness due to the rough life.</p><p><br /></p><p> <b>The middle part seems like what actually makes a difference in a person's life </b>when that person is having a tough time. What actually changed the poet (Paul) and his near death experience due to an accident. The prose passages share stories that are truly moving. There's one about the loss of a child that's not even born. Then there's another about the demise of Paul's father (Stanley Dulski, RIP) through the words of his sister. This section is what shows us the importance of relations and life because we never know what will happen next. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqMmHs8bcDp1nVSR8xiIk1K6ZG7ruGL275fvMkehDE5fx0b4abymXQm_zMJmRuVI48luY3BVyDbtS7l5jT3lbPrMcfnE9zITg2-_IMbJE5cr5IWQ5yb9pBQCppUAJpEa8H-udNhXDt2lR6/s350/Tessa+Baker+poem+cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="222" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqMmHs8bcDp1nVSR8xiIk1K6ZG7ruGL275fvMkehDE5fx0b4abymXQm_zMJmRuVI48luY3BVyDbtS7l5jT3lbPrMcfnE9zITg2-_IMbJE5cr5IWQ5yb9pBQCppUAJpEa8H-udNhXDt2lR6/s320/Tessa+Baker+poem+cover.jpg" /></a></div><p>[ Tessa's poetry book cover image ] </p><p> <b>The third part is full of motivational poems</b> which tell us why there's always a hope of a better tomorrow, meeting good people, and finding true love. It tells how Paul has helped many people to get out of Darkness of mind, and also how meeting his true love, Tessa Baker - a poetess, and actress herself, changed his life for better, and also how he met Tessa through a situation formed by destiny. It's a refreshing turn of events when the book starts the romantic section of poems that are sweet and beautiful. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFEj5hqh9zh49wQtGWInQLnAE61oGI1hkqvCkcmrAjt7ks7B8aVkKxxYtt90qiatzMgD5lRGYaSDSVQUQaKov7BZiq-9WXo9TulecvFbiAIjIM7dQiH-8XfFUD08lpPTe6S91gu9kmY-ZM/s2543/Mark+Albert+RIP+Paul+Dulski+friend.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2543" data-original-width="1236" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFEj5hqh9zh49wQtGWInQLnAE61oGI1hkqvCkcmrAjt7ks7B8aVkKxxYtt90qiatzMgD5lRGYaSDSVQUQaKov7BZiq-9WXo9TulecvFbiAIjIM7dQiH-8XfFUD08lpPTe6S91gu9kmY-ZM/s320/Mark+Albert+RIP+Paul+Dulski+friend.jpg" /></a></div><p>[Mark Albert RIP]</p><p><b>There's a story about "A Fallen August Lion" </b>- Mark Albert who was a great person, a co-worker of Paul who purchased his first book. Mark Albert (RIP) was full of ideas which were going to be books but his life was abruptly ended. Some real life events are also reflected in the near end part of the book with reference to the US elections, politicians, and the broken American Dream. </p><p> <b>The book has bonus educational parts</b> where Paul tells the readers how he started writing poetry in his school, a Bee poem he wrote during his school days, and then in the end he tells us why his poem titles are trying to tell you the story of his life through smart references like how singers of Pop genre usually do with their songs. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzem5K-ZdkDs_fiOBUw3gHsBsfgddTAdDvWZUssVeqY4JqD5IZkmmTIQn6-wD2vA_GAgeVsflVAV0fvuzAlWZeEs2KO-e0h_b2zi3ZWQT1iaG3AWlAmOuqzVk0sbT5IduMhOPWMDSWk3f/s562/Paul+Dulski+Let+Me+In+I+will+Save+You+Poem.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="516" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzem5K-ZdkDs_fiOBUw3gHsBsfgddTAdDvWZUssVeqY4JqD5IZkmmTIQn6-wD2vA_GAgeVsflVAV0fvuzAlWZeEs2KO-e0h_b2zi3ZWQT1iaG3AWlAmOuqzVk0sbT5IduMhOPWMDSWk3f/w368-h400/Paul+Dulski+Let+Me+In+I+will+Save+You+Poem.jpg" width="368" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">[Screenshot of Behind the Other Door part 2]</span></div><p> The book has some strong language but nothing explicit. It is the honesty of the poet, and strong emotions which get through such language because even some self help gurus on the internet swear all the time because it's honest, and you know, a guy who's swearing is often pretty honest and not hiding anything. The poems even when they're not rhyming, have a musical or rhythmic tone similar to Rock / Metal and even some Pop bands/singers. Also, the book has a philosophical value due to its exploration of many aspects of life, society, economy and human relations. Thus, teens and above seem like the best audience for this. </p><p><b> In conclusion,</b> Paul Dulski has created a book full of poems which are emotionally moving, entertaining, and teaching us a lot about life. Not just why life is challenging, but also why it's worth living. For anyone interested in a thought provoking read full of important messages, lessons, and motivation at the end, this is a must read, especially if you're trying to find a light through the darkness of your life... This book shall give you hope because this is based on real life examples, and experience. </p><p><b>Sample poem - </b></p><p>Paul Dulski's advice for the best reading experience- "Look at my piece called "Behind the Other Door", that has three parts. However instead of reading it in order, Part 1-3. Begin with Part 2, after that Part 1 and Part 3 act as YOUR choice. Do you let the darkness consume you? Or do you open up the door to feel the sunshine on your body?"</p><p><b>Behind the Back Door part 2, 1 and 3. </b></p><p><b>II. </b><b>Let Me In, I’ll Save You </b></p><p>I see you in the darkness alone
Holding your legs with your arms </p><p>Rocking back and forth feeling doubtful </p><p>I’m inside your head now </p><p>Hear me now, I know this is doubting </p><p>But listen, there’s so much more behind the other door </p><p>“No, I won’t do it.”</p><p> You haven’t been happy in a long time though </p><p>“That’s because I shut myself away.” </p><p>I’ll tell you what, I promise I’ll be with you
I’ll guide your hand through the world </p><p>All you have to do is believe in me </p><p>Give me permission to be your eyes </p><p>I’ll walk you up to the door </p><p>And the rest will be up to you, open it or leave it shut </p><p>But like I said and I’ll keep saying
There is so much more behind the other door</p><p><b>I. Darkness My Old Friend</b> </p><p>“I won’t give you permission. </p><p>I just wanna sit in my darkness forever.”</p><p> And that’s what you did, for the rest of your life </p><p>You never heard from my voice again </p><p>You never mentioned me, nor did I mention you
I wanted you, to chant my name in softness </p><p>Darkness my old friend, devour me whole </p><p>I longed for your return, and now it’s back</p><p> Oh how happy I am since you’ve returned </p><p>The darkness grew more, surrounding you </p><p>Everything and everyone, turned away from you</p><p> But that didn’t bother you, you loved the quietness </p><p>Soon you’ll be forgotten, did you like how it ended </p><p>Did you live the life you chose to keep </p><p>Or did something become missing throughout the play </p><p>Becoming insane from within, how much longer till you break </p><p>We know it won’t be long, till your last breath
And then that’s when the darkness consumes you</p><p><b>III. Seeing Daylight Again</b></p><p>

I had the idea of publishing a book for numerous of years now. Only problem at the time was, how would I publish them and who would read it? After seeing friends publish work on various places I decided to ask around. School was the first time I tried poetry, it was 6th grade when my first ever piece called "The Bee" was in a book, year later another one of mine got published from the same class, which that was called "Come With Me" which is featured in my first book.</p><p>"For the Broken Hearted" was the idea I had gotten before publishing it on December 22, 2015. I wanted to try helping people once I got through a six month depression in 2005, I was saved by a band called Bleeding Through. My book "For the Broken Hearted" is all my original works from 2001-2008, 2009 was a year I didn't write then I wrote from 2010-2015. It's full of poems anyone can relate to if not all of it. From betrayal, unloved, losing someone close to you, politics and more. I created this book for those that need a voice to help defeat their demons.</p><p>Few weeks later around the beginning of the new year of 2016, "Haunted Nightmares" was released on the 6th of January. Originally this was supposed to be the last book, which included all my lyrics from when I was in two bands before I started a solo project.</p><p>When I first finished my second book I wasn't actually planning on doing another book, which was titled "Enemy Of Everything". After finding just enough to have a "minimum" page for a book I decided to write one more. This books theme came from the lyrics I had found, which lead to what I feel is my meaning behind the cover. It symbolizes all the pain, suffering, betrayal and etc that I've battled and won. It shows I bled when I possibly should have passed on. I focused my attention on new lyrics for the book while writing "My Authors Pages" in the book. I wanted this to be pissed off just like I had felt writing my old lyrics and new. This book is truly where my anger comes from, once you've set it off. Like the back of the book says, "YOU. HAVE. BEEN. WARNED.". Meaning once you read this one, you'll either talk with me still or stop chatting with me.</p><p>"Till the Death of Me Collection" was the first time I brought in a Hardcover Edition of one of my books. Finding a site suitable enough to fit my need of material I published this collection, featuring all three books in one plus a bonus chapter that also showed off new lyrics from myself while featuring work from friends. This is the ultimate collection.</p><p>"The Light In the Darkness" which message I believe is quite clear, I'm creating this book to help others understand through a dark path that I and possibly you have or will journey through which leads you to what I believe is my soul mate and forever. It also comes with a bonus chapter. This book takes on subjects from bullying, suicide, feeling lost, finding yourself, giving up, not giving up and more.</p><p>As 2018 starts, I will let you know to whomever reads this. If you have enjoyed anything you have read, please note I am returning again for 2019. New book is entitled "Destroy.

He became one of the most famous astronomers in the world. </p><p> This is why we need to find the right career or business as per our liking and skills. Some simple questions can help you to make your search easier. The following are the questions:-</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Should I do it?</span></b></p><p> Is there a family business you must take care of? Do you like the profession of your parents or siblings and their company is ready to take you in? Such things that automatically come to your way, might be tempting, and annoying too. We need to think with a clam mind, and ask if that's what we want and what is the best for us.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Is it Required by the market?</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> </span>Check if the business or job is relevant, and will be relevant in future. If there's a business like typewriter making company then it is not going to be around for too long, and thus, should be sold off or converted into something else, like, keyboard or tablet computer making company. If your skill is outdated, learn something new to become relevant in the job market.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Can I do it?</span></b></p><p><b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b>Some professions or business require abilities that may not be possible for all. Like being in military, police force or a stunt professional requires a great deal of physical and mental strength. Can you do the job or business you want to do? Can you learn the ability or skill through training or a course?</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">What I Cannot do ?</span></b></p><p><b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b>Some jobs require a special certificate or skills or require no gaps in career. You can get a science or engineering degree after being a Masters in Arts but is that really worth it? You had a gap due to being laid off during the pandemic of 2020, or you had health problems. Thus, don't consider such jobs and look elsewhere. Take it positively and narrow down your search by looking at the doors that are open.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">What I Want to do?</span></b></p><p><b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b>What's your passion and what is it that you want to do? Many people have a dream, and skills for that too. Such work is something that never feels like work. Try to find what you want to do through thinking about your skills, ability, situation and other factors.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">What I Like to do? Do I still like it?</span></b></p><p><b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b>You are already doing a job or a business but do you still like it? Is it still relevant in the market? Is there a way to change your career? What is that you don't like? Is there a way to like your work? Maybe think of the positive side of the work.</p><p>If you still cannot think of any career or business, then you should ask a professional career coach, psychologists to assess your skills/persona, take aptitude tests, career counsellors, ask family/friends/mentors, and ask online on Quora, LinkedIn or Reddit. Till you find the right thing to do, it is better to keep doing what you are doing, and what is in front of you instead of being confused and not doing anything at all. If you didn't do anything at all, don't worry, it's always better late than never. You've still got time. </p><p>Watch the Video about this- </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w-_YtMgPz2Y" width="320" youtube-src-id="w-_YtMgPz2Y"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for reading!</p><p><br /></p><p><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>* GET STRESS FREE through Animation, memes, and comedy, check out Christian Neace YouTube-</b> </span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbCXGpNNx_qT7SiutTjKH-Q">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbCXGpNNx_qT7SiutTjKH-Q</a></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <b>His Twitter- </b></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://twitter.com/MothaPuncha">https://twitter.com/MothaPuncha</a></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">*<b> KNOW YOUR FUTURE through Merlynda Sol's Mistral Tarot YouTube </b>- </span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjBKg5qPRleUKa2jMfhkbig/featured">https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjBKg5qPRleUKa2jMfhkbig/featured</a></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <b>Get Vintage Stuff from Perihelion's Esty Shop</b>- </span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PerihelionsEmporium">https://www.etsy.com/shop/PerihelionsEmporium</a></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <b>& FREE TO WATCH Horror Film "Smiling Woman" here</b>- </span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mBYGUn6Q7tQ">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mBYGUn6Q7tQ</a></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <b>Her Instagram </b>:- </span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/merlyndasol/">https://www.instagram.com/merlyndasol/</a></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

So, start watching films, reading books, being a consumer of the media which fits your industry/work. You will definitely start to get new ideas. Sometimes even unrelated entertainment can help us generate a new idea. (Like this <a href="https://www.inc.com/john-rampton/wolf-of-wall-street-lessons.html" target="_blank">Inc.

That's why we have- LinkedIn, FaceBook, Twitter, and other such platforms, besides of course, real life summits, conferences, or through other real life meets (When the COVID-19 outbreak is over). Even a small talk with your friends, family, colleagues, seniors, juniors can help you learn new things. Even better if you can find a mentor, guide or a teacher to help you learn about the field you'd like to enter or excel in.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh9S8YqLx0lNYJqo39L0QvmaYGU-KNEQ2DRtKbJk0G-MMSx98-aStmBzftFQmjI9jPAzbiLL12Ugv6wfhpGZC3izmIMa_MlKM0qST_8VDa4GC3cqFZo2u1G52QQILVmakPkt1eOT_NRpfK/s640/Meditating-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh9S8YqLx0lNYJqo39L0QvmaYGU-KNEQ2DRtKbJk0G-MMSx98-aStmBzftFQmjI9jPAzbiLL12Ugv6wfhpGZC3izmIMa_MlKM0qST_8VDa4GC3cqFZo2u1G52QQILVmakPkt1eOT_NRpfK/w200-h134/Meditating-1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b><b>Step 3: Meditate, think about things, and ask- Why, What, Where, When & How?</b></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> After collecting all the information from the above steps, give yourself a quiet time.

feel that it’s only happening to you. Never think like that. “Why Me?” is a
question we all ask in to ourselves, to others or God in life. But maybe it’s
just not you. Ask around, do some research, and read books, and you might find
that there were people in the past, or even people living right now who face similar
problems!

</b>Teaching is a profession that requires a lot of sacrifice, and efforts which
often go without gratefulness, and in many countries with underpayment/delay in
payment or even no payment at all (Especially in the developing countries). Now with the current Corona outbreak, things have become worse for the education field, but still, the teachers' fraternity is adapting through online teaching & trying their best to help their students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>Why would a person
spend the entire life teaching the same thing </b>to the same aged batch of
kids/teens/adults but every time there are new faces & challenges of
adjusting with them, and getting good marks/grades from them? The teachers
often become teachers because they like educating others, love interacting with them, and think that the profession of teaching is one of those fields with an actual impact on the society. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>Teachers from the
school, and college become like our parents, and teach us the morals, and the
ways of life besides the syllabus</b>. They discipline us and help us to have an
organized life. Just imagine what would have happened if a teacher from your
childhood didn’t try to make you perform well? What if a teacher had said that
“It’s not my fault that this kid hates math or history.” They don’t give up on
you, and don’t allow you to give up on yourself either.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL24VoNO-87kxeeroddTvZJz8Pwqnl0ZbmJBIDeWLZWvO8nuoOQtLqB0_zJBSGa9UyA6zOacxefCrLprH1ASJICkqcfdfb5JdYq7zisRdisOA-KeEOLRkdfYRpsacy3crbQCWCzHUsOP2X/s740/Horace-Slughorn-HP-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="370" data-original-width="740" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL24VoNO-87kxeeroddTvZJz8Pwqnl0ZbmJBIDeWLZWvO8nuoOQtLqB0_zJBSGa9UyA6zOacxefCrLprH1ASJICkqcfdfb5JdYq7zisRdisOA-KeEOLRkdfYRpsacy3crbQCWCzHUsOP2X/w625-h313/Horace-Slughorn-HP-1.jpg" width="625" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>Teachers come in many
forms</b>. There are formal teachers from school, and college of course. Then there
are teachers in disguise. The parents often form the base of life as they’re
the first teachers before we start the formal school. Family, siblings, and
then our spouse, and even children/grandchildren teach us a lot (Younger
kids often are tech savvy!). Wisdom of elders teach some of the priceless
lessons. Your friends, or seniors, perhaps even juniors who teach you some life
lessons through their behavior or some give their precious time to
teach you a tough subject, or solve a tough problem. The same is true about
seniors, colleagues, and bosses at the workplace, who often mentor/help new employees to learn,
and adjust to the work environment. Many people we meet in life might teach you
something. That’s why it’s often advised to read biographies so that we learn
from others’ struggles, and mistakes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Life without knowledge is simply not fulfilling, and not
easy to survive.</b> Teachers impact the society by helping generations through the
help in getting a formal education, informally teaching them morals, and
helping them to set realistic goals in life. Teachers care for us, and thus
it’s high time we, as a society, start caring about teachers too.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Thanks to all the teachers of this world for making this world a better, and an educated place</b>.

2020, there was a Gmail outage problem which caused problems when logging in
& people couldn’t add attachments to emails, or download attachments from
the emails. (Source- <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-technology/gmail-down-india-users-complain-6562380/">Gmail
services restored after outage</a>) Besides such rare incidents, there is a
loss of time, and data when it’s working properly. So, instead of adding
attachments, you should share Google Drive, Dropbox, YouTube etc. links in your
emails so that your receiver gets the file/information without any issues. If
the text can be added in the email, don’t add it as a PDF/Word file, just
directly copy and paste / write in the email.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUq_QiSrRmS8XwUgVcCDYLwa7wzkj6jQwajyPmzYWN_QTmfLeokWMVu7nBPhCH1klfX2xO0BEZZFTkCA9vy4cKRyQmcIu5HhlniHW0lSJee4jicvAasBJC8jA-d3Zfi-2G0Fw_B-GpZbBq/s600/conersation+icon.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUq_QiSrRmS8XwUgVcCDYLwa7wzkj6jQwajyPmzYWN_QTmfLeokWMVu7nBPhCH1klfX2xO0BEZZFTkCA9vy4cKRyQmcIu5HhlniHW0lSJee4jicvAasBJC8jA-d3Zfi-2G0Fw_B-GpZbBq/w197-h197/conersation+icon.png" width="197" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">(7) </span></b></span><b style="font-family: arial; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Minimal informal emails:</span></b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><p></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> If you can call or meet

Maybe do that on social media messages, or the actual chat apps.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> I hope these tips help save your time, and inbox space!! </span></p></div><div style="color: #757575; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: large;">Thank you for reading this far. </b></div><div style="color: #757575; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #222222;"><span face=""><b>Would You Like To Receive My New Blog Posts in Your Email? </b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #222222;"><span face=""><b>Then </b></span><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Please Click 'Subscribe' Button Shown On Top of </b><span face=""><b>This</b></span><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> Blog Page! </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #222222;"><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 15px; text-align: center;"><span face="" style="color: #222222;"><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Thanks to my Patreon member & friend for his support:</b></span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

We just have to learn the basic things, and get used to the new clothing style for the safety of the self, and the others around us. Maybe consider it as the new 2020 fashion! There have been designer masks out too, but just remember to have it 3 layered at least, and without a valve or a hole.

astronauts was launch and safely landed on <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html" target="_blank">ISS (International Space Station).</a>

NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 3:22 p.m. EDT May 30, from Launch Complex 39A in Florida, for an extended stay at the space station for the Demo-2 mission. The specific duration of the mission is to be determined.</p><p class="MsoNormal">As the final flight test for SpaceX, this mission will validate the company’s crew transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, and operational capabilities.

prepared and tested. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whatever we want to do, we have to prepare well, and only

mission was planned on May 27<sup>th</sup>, 2020 but it was cancelled and
postponed to May 31<sup>st</sup>, 2020 due to bad weather. This mission was
conducted despite the Corona outbreak, but with all the care of social
distancing as prescribed by the medical authorities. So, that problem was
overcome but how can we control the weather? That’s why the mission was
postponed which turned out to be a success.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In our life, there are some problems that cannot be avoided
but we just have to wait till it’s over. The brilliant example is Corona virus,
which has affected many people. We just can’t do some activities like
travelling or holding huge meetings as there’s a chance of virus spreading. We
have to obey the medical instructions, as it will help to end the outbreak
sooner than while not obeying the norms of social distancing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another example is that of weather, and
crisis. We can’t start or run a business if there’s storm or a war-like
situation. We will have to wait it out. But never cancel the plans, only

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="5">4. Make Others Excited!</font></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NASA’s NASA Social initiative
has been working for years to spread awareness about the Space education, and
NASA’s contribution to it. When the launch was planned, it was well branded as
“Launch America”, and normal citizens, as well as professionals were encouraged
to share their excitement for the launch, and in turn it helped spread the news
of the launch! Millions of people watched the launch on YouTube so far, and the
live event was also attended by hundreds of thousands people online. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a great
example of how to brand and market your work, and help get attention from the
right people. As a business, everything needs to be published online, and it
helps to spread the work done by the business. NASA and Space X not only did
something that will help their brands, but also helps the humanity in space
research. As an individual, you can learn to share your achievements online in
terms of LinkedIn posts, or Facebook posts that help others to know your
capabilities, and passion. Never flaunt or over-share but if there’s something
that can help you to get closer to future opportunities. Then that’s good for
the world too, as a talented person like you has the power to change the world
through creative and passionate work. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf8CqCi1dOIJrunM0cSBBCVRPt0oBGSqoB1ae6xDmdvasy9cjve-k4mlhX9cdkIYy_pRspGj_TTh38WQVoPrtbj84lNS2l0wi0uRwhU4zCt_LjZRrdGCDCiNZjg4dLu2jXvDg3gO4uwjlJ/s926/Earth+from+Mars.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="521" data-original-width="926" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf8CqCi1dOIJrunM0cSBBCVRPt0oBGSqoB1ae6xDmdvasy9cjve-k4mlhX9cdkIYy_pRspGj_TTh38WQVoPrtbj84lNS2l0wi0uRwhU4zCt_LjZRrdGCDCiNZjg4dLu2jXvDg3gO4uwjlJ/w500-h281/Earth+from+Mars.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Launch America feels
like a manned mission that will be one of many in the future. As we dream of
colonizing Mars, and beyond, it will not happen suddenly, but we need to make
it a step by step process through such launches that help us to practice the
art and science of space launch. There’s a planned moon mission 2 and we can imagine
that eventually we will also see a mission to the Mars, but, that might require
more resources, and well trained astronauts as it’s farther away than Moon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In your life, when
you set a goal or have a dream, you need to be patient as you will get there
eventually. People become successful after years of hard work and perseverance.
Never lose hope! Never be impatient. Don’t expect the success to be there
overnight, expect it to be there in future, and keep doing good work that you
do. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjezVju5v5OqWkfk98cWqNKdkVcZLDAVEGXLPbKs94pCE7tc-z8rlaMHpA4Lw6DdaBEf5ME5sTB-UO_BwfYXICmmHvGWo8it6twQmpgUKvadHi93M_KMft-3CgaqGj2fsiuxC7bnswume0V/s960/NASA+LA+coverage.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="960" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjezVju5v5OqWkfk98cWqNKdkVcZLDAVEGXLPbKs94pCE7tc-z8rlaMHpA4Lw6DdaBEf5ME5sTB-UO_BwfYXICmmHvGWo8it6twQmpgUKvadHi93M_KMft-3CgaqGj2fsiuxC7bnswume0V/w500-h281/NASA+LA+coverage.png" width="500" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
