How to transfer files to Amazon EC2 instance using FileZilla

SFTP access to Amazon EC2 using FileZilla

When using cloud service like Amazon EC2, most trivial task will be to get your data/files up the cloud. Amazon offers secure ftp (SFTP) service and gives instructions how to use it on command line.

But if you have many files stored in separate locations, it will be easier to use a GUI application like FileZilla. And best thing about FileZilla is that it works on Mac, Linux and Windows. Ubuntu has also included FileZilla in their repository and you can install it on Ubuntu using:

sudo apt-get install FileZilla

Before using FileZilla to upload files, make sure you follow the steps given in EC2 documentation, activate SSH and test it on the shell/command prompt.

Amazon uses authentication using key file and does not accept username & password combination, unlike other SFTP services. When you add a new site to FileZilla site manager, you wont find option to use key-file.

You need to import the key file in another location. Go to Edit --> Settings, you will find the option to upload keyfile under the SFTP option.

FileZilla will convert *.pem file to .ppk file which is Putty Private Key format and save it in a location you specify.

Now you can use upload files to your EC2 instance without a glitch. FileZilla will automatically authenticate using the added key file. You may add other key files along with Amazon EC2 keyfile, it will still authenticate you.

Google Chromecast with Google TV 2021 Review

What’s going on, Rihan here. Several of you asked me to check out the Chromecast with Google TV several months ago, so I’ve spent some time with it just using it as my main streaming device. I’ve grown accustomed to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and the Nvidia Shield TV over the years, but the Google Chromecast offers a nice Google TV streaming experience and it’s only $50.

Let’s talk about it. I decided on the white or snow color, but you can get this in sunrise pink or sky blue. I would’ve liked a black option like the old Chromecast, but Google likes a certain aesthetic for their more recent products. It’s a small, lightweight device, but it doesn’t feel cheap.

Other than HDMI, it just has a single USB-C port for power. The biggest upgrade if you’re coming from the old Chromecast is this little remote. It’s a sleek little remote with Google Assistant built-in. I like the dedicated buttons for YouTube and Netflix because those are two of the most used if not the most popular apps on the planet.

In the past, using the app or having to show my mom how to use the app to cast movies to the tv was a little frustrating. Now that we get this physical remote, the problem solved. Just like with my Alexa Voice Remote, this remote can control the power and volume of the tv and soundbar.

Later in this article, I’m going to briefly talk about one thing I’ve noticed about this remote when compared to the fire stick remote. If you want to cast content from your android phone, iPhone or iPad, you can still do that on this new Google Chromecast.

So, Android TV has been rebranded to Google TV and this was the first device released with that rebrand. The specs on this aren’t mind-blowing but they definitely get the job done for a nice compact streaming dongle. We get a quad-core CPU, a MaliG GPU, 8 GB of onboard storage that you can expand with an external adaptor, it’s running Google TV which is Android, AC Wi-Fi, and of course Bluetooth.

It’s capable of streaming 4K HDR with DolbyVision and Dolby Atmos. After going through the setup process, which is super easy using either the Google Home app or the included remote and signing into your Google account, the Google TV interface is nice.

It looks similar to the previous Android TVuser interface, but it’s been refined quite a bit. For my Apple TV users, I’m not going to say that this interface is just as good as the Apple TV 4k, but it’s actually second-best in my opinion. When it was first released around 6 months ago, the Apple TV Plus app wasn’t available on this Chromecast, but it is now.

We have access to the Google Play Store, but it’s the more limited Android TV version and not the same as what you get on an android phone. If there are some specific android apps you have to have, you can sideload them, but that’s for another video.

Navigating through the home screen and different menus is smooth and there is zero lag. Of course, you can just use your voice to search for movies, tv shows or even to open different apps. While I’m not a huge voice assistant user, so far it works flawlessly.

Something I fell in love with fairly quickly in Google TV is the recommendations. It has been an ongoing struggle clicking on each individual app and going through endless scrolling and reading to find something I want to watch on other devices.

Google Chromecast with Google TV

Maybe it’s because it’s all-seeing and knowing Google, but Google TV makes great useful recommendations that allow you to quickly find content without jumping down a rabbit hole. If you want to get the best recommendations, make sure you consistently use their universal rating system.

I almost always hit the thumbs up or thumbs down so Google will constantly adjust the content to better fit what I’m interested in. Once you’ve watched a movie or TV show, even if you didn’t watch it on the Chromecast, make sure you click that you’ve watched it.

The watch list is something I use all the time because I can’t watch everything right away. If you don’t want to have to check a bunch of individual watch lists across a number of streaming apps, the universal watch list here in Google TV is going to be a big timesaver.

I normally have my Chromecast connected to 4K Samsung TV, but I sometimes use it on my 32-inch 4K Dell monitor for watching during breaks when I don’t leave my desk. Anyway, the most important thing to me is having 4K video playback where the image looks great, and the device doesn’t stutter during streaming. Let’s hop over to YouTube and check out the video quality.

A common video used as an example is Big BuckBunny which plays in 4K at 60 frames per second. It just demonstrates how well the Chromecast can handle this type of media and if the image looks degraded at all.

You can easily play content from apps like plex as well. If you’re interested in a full review ofPlex or a setup tutorial, let me know down in the comment section.

I’ve used all of the normal streaming apps like including Netflix Prime Video Disney Plus Discovery Plus and several others and I’ve had no issues streaming with this Chromecast. Something I do want to point out though about using Disney Plus on this device; you may try to watch a movie or show in 4K but be forced into 1080.

I’ve found that closing and reopening the app helps, but it’s something Google needs to address with an update asap. Even though this Chromecast only has a single USB C port, you can use an adaptor to expand the storage while also providing power to the device.

I’ll leave a link below for the adaptorI’m using, but anything similar to this one with a USB C port will work. This is a 64 GB micro-SD card, but you can use a larger or smaller one if you prefer. Once it’s plugged into the Chromecast, you’ll see in the settings then storage that the card is recognized. Now you can add movies, tv shows and apps to it.

I don’t do any streaming or browsing the internet without having my VPN turned on. You can install the VPN on this Chromecast and even on your Fire Stick if you’re using one. I’ll leave a link below to the VPN I’ve used for many years and still recommend. Before we wrap this up, I mentioned earlier something I noticed about using this remote over the fire stick remote.

The amazon fire tv stick remote has randomly disconnected on me several times just for no apparent reason. I’ve actually had to repair it a few times to get it working again.

I have not had that issue with the Chromecast remote at all. It’s been seamless and reliable. The Chromecast with Google TV costs the same as the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, but I’ve had a more positive overall experience with the Chromecast.

This isn’t going to replace my Nvidia Shield TV, but for $50, it’s an easy recommendation. If you feel like it, jump down in the comment section and tell me what device you like most. so you’ll be notified every time I post new content.

YC-Backed Omniref Is Rap Genius For Code

While the open source movement has made getting up and running with a software project incredibly easy for those who know what to look for, the reality is that not every project can be updated to support the latest versions of the code they’re built on.

Over time, this means that you see thousands of projects running on some old version of a library that seemingly no one is familiar with anymore.

Y Combinator-backed Omniref is building a code reference tool that could help developers get assistance from others building on the same code. Originally launched as a code search tool for Ruby in November 2013, the site has since added a Q/A feature resembling Genius’s annotation feature, as made famous by Rap Genius.

Omniref aims to include the source of every version of every Ruby Gem in its code library. When you create an account on the site, you can let Omniref look through the code you publicly host on GitHub to see what you’re working with.

The startup is using those two key features to build a platform showing relevant questions, news, and commentary on technologies relevant to their work, whether hobbyist or professional.

For now, the key feature built on that data is the question-and-answer feature. You can go to any version of any Gem, and ask a question related to the code in general or a specific portion you need to use. Those questions are presented to those whose projects also depend on that code.

As questions receive upvotes from developers who find them relevant, the most popular will show up when people check out a Gem they might use in a project. The most useful answers stick to the top, eventually making it a good source of things to watch out for in common use and therefore a way to show Gem maintainers things they may want to look at in future versions.

That’s why Omniref is currently reaching out to the maintainers of the largest Gems. If it can get support from key developers in the largest communities, usage will trickle down to the thousands signing up for mailing lists or in communities on Reddit, StackOverflow and elsewhere.

That will take time, so in the meantime co-founders Tim Robertson and Montana Low continue to add new features to the platform. In the near term, there’s a few obvious social essentials to add to profiles, like an About Me section. But there’s also a news feed in the works that will combine content from the site with blog posts and updates related to the code in your projects. Robertson hopes this will build up Omniref’s return traffic by making it a regular destination to get coding reference information but also news that keeps you up-to-date with how things are changing.

A bit further out, Robertson says they’re looking to make Omniref more useful for less experienced programmers. The Q/A feature the startup launched in August is useful if you know what you’re using and what’s going wrong with your implementation. But if you’re a beginner, you might not be using any outside code at all or not understand what’s broken.

Much in the same way that Genius now lets you annotate anything, one day you’ll likely be able to upload your code to Omniref and have pointers to exact issues that need fixing.

As iLearn Insights use continues to grow at Macquarie we, the Learning Innovation Hub Learning Technologies & Services team, have taken on board your feedback and have a few improvements and new features to highlight. These include:

  1. Unique user views of content and activities rather than total number of hits
  2. Unique student views of top 5 activities
  3. A new bar chart to indicate students who have never logged in or have not logged in for 7 days
  4. Track unit participation using iLearn Gradebook, EchoALP analytics data, or the Attendance Module (MUIC only)
  5. New email templates from a number of iLearn Insights reports.

Unique user views

Top 5 activities table

The top 5 activities table now indicates the number of unique students who have accessed iLearn activities. Rather than just seeing the total number of clicks on each activity, you can now clearly see the number of students who have accessed an item as well as the percentage of the class this number represents. (This makes it clearer that it is not just a small number of users who have clicked on an activity.) You can now quickly see if the activities are being accessed by a majority or minority of your students.

Student login chart

The student login summary chart has been improved to more clearly separate the students visually into those who have never logged in, and those who have not logged in for more than seven days. A clear indicator of your total number of enrolled students is also provided.

Unit Participation Tools

Insights has tools that enable you to track unit participation by selecting items from your iLearn Gradebook to add to a participation report. Items can include any activity type in iLearn that appears in your Gradebook, such as quizzes and assignment submissions. Once you have selected your Gradebook items you will see a report showing whether your students have participated.

There’s more information online on how to set up Unit Participation reports.

Email Templates

We have updated a number of the email templates to make them more specific to the report from which they are generated. For example, the email generated from the report of students who have not submitted an assessment now includes instruction for the student on applying for special consideration.

The unit participation email template provides personalised information to let students know how their unit participation is tracking, which looks like this:

These improvements have been made in response to feedback from users of iLearn Insights. Please continue to use the Feedback and Feature Request tab in iLearn Insights to allow us to continue to improve your experience and the functionality of iLearn Insights!

In Praise of Linux Lite

In reply to someone’s suggestion in another forum that “Linux distros which are derived from other Linux distros contribute nothing new to the larger desktop Linux world:

The thread was entitled Linux Lite vs Xubuntu, and a reader asked what the differences were and why they mattered.

There are important differences. I did a little homework before switching to Linux Lite from my all-time favorite Xubuntu:

In Linux Lite, applications are named for their function, not their “real” names. A newbie wouldn’t know that Evince is a pdf viewer or that Thunar is the file manager. Linux Lite is for novices who don’t know even what they don’t know. This one little thing is very thoughtful, all by itself.

The Xfce desktop is highly customized in Linux Lite, yet still infinitely customizable by the user. Again, with newbies in mind, and simple people like me who would rather run applications than running the operating system.

Linux Lite includes a magnificent set of tools to make maintaining and tweaking the OS effortless and non-stressful, with point-and-click simplicity and explanations for us non-tech types. If unsure, there are explanations and the support of this awesome forum, in which the Lead Developer actively participates. That is rare!

This is better for newbies than even Linux Mint in my opinion. From the start, it has always been designed with newbies and simplicity-loving technophobic users like me in mind. And lastly, and most importantly:

Before Linux Lite, it was an axiom in the desktop Linux world that speed and performance was a trade-off to achieve “user-friendliness” with a GUI. Linux Lite has proven that you can “have your cake and eat it too,” so to speak. No longer does it have to be a trade-off of lost performance to achieve a newbie-friendly GUI.

As in any Ubuntu-based distro, the hidden danger to newcomers and inexperienced Linux users is in the quality of updates from upstream Ubuntu (newbies cannot be expected to update selectively), and in the addition of several PPAs to the standard Ubuntu repositories. The simlest work-around in my opinion is the addition of the Updater adapted for Linux Lite from the Linux Mint treasury. Find it here.

One thought on “In Praise of Linux Lite

  1. I’m new to Linux. I used a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 from 2010 to 2016, but it got super slow after a while. In 2016 I bought a refurbished Dell laptop with Windows 7, which I’m using now. Both machines have similar specs, but I used the Toshiba heavily for six years, so it’s much slower. I’d wanted to try Linux on my old Toshiba laptop for a while to see if I could get it to run better again. I did a ton of research on distros, and Linux Lite looked like the best balance between “good for newbies” and “easy on old hardware”. I installed Linux Lite last month and it works great. I should be able to get a few more years easily out of that laptop. Using it is fun again.

    Now that Windows 7 support ends next year, I’m considering installing Linux on the Dell as well. I want to try Linux Mint sometime and I wouldn’t mind trying Ubuntu, but I may install Linux Lite on the Dell. I’m very happy with Linux Lite.

Best Quiz Apps & Trivia Games for Android For Every Need

by Ravi Teja KNTS
Best Quiz Apps Android

Quiz apps are one of the famous genres in the Play Store. Though there are many popular apps like Millionaire Quiz, Jeopardy, 94%, Trivia Crack 2, Quizoid, etc, they are often generic. So here I am going to list out some of the best quiz apps according to different categories for a particular section of people. Let’s get into it.

Best Quiz Apps and Trivia Games for Android

1. Song Pop 2 – Guess The Song

As the name suggests, Song Pop 2 is all about Music, Songs, Artists, etc. The app plays a small portion of the song which you have to guess from the available options. Additionally, you can either choose to play with random people on the internet or challenge your friends. My favorite feature is the party mode which allows many of your friends to play at the same time. Apart from the free variant, there is a VIP (Premium) variant starting at $4.99/month. It provides access to all the playlists, ad-free, and higher quality sound.

  • Excellent collection of songs and playlists in POP, Rock, Rap, etc
  • Multiplayer as well as party mode
  • Practice with Melody in the solo mode before challenging with real people.

Best for: People who love and want to explore the music world.

4. World War 2 Quiz

This app came through a friend’s suggestion. And although I don’t have a good past with History, I can say that World war 2 Quiz is one of the best apps in the history category. It covers quizzes on major events, weapons, battles, peoples, countries, etc. At first, questions may feel quite easy, but it becomes hard really within the first 2 levels. If you really have a lot of knowledge on World War 2, here is the place to push it out.

  • Levels will unlock one after another by playing.
  • You don’t have to log in to the app
  • Disable ads by a one-time payment of $1.15

6.Brand Logo Quiz: MCQs

Logo games, undoubtedly, are the most popular genre in quiz apps. It is pretty evident from the huge number of logo quiz apps in the Play Store. However, I have tried out almost all of them but I stuck to the Brand Logo Quiz. The reason being, most of the Logo quizzes ask you to arrange the alphabets provided into the logo name. This makes predicting the brand name easier due to the given alphabets. Whereas, Brand Logo Quiz gives you multiple choices to answer the brand name.

  • Simple and Light UI
  • Offers more than 250 Levels

Best for: People who want to test their brand knowledge.

Usually, 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET on weekdays and once at 9 p.m. ET on weekends. There will be 10 questions to answer and everyone who answered all 10 of them correctly will divide the prize money. The only complaint I had with the app is volume handling. As many people are playing at the same time, the app lags and freezes a bit.

  • Intuitive game rules and timings to play and earn.
  • Price money is distributed amongst the winners instead of one.

Best for: People who want to earn money by playing quizzes.

Google Fit app will soon track heart rate, respiratory rate using camera on Pixel phones

Google’s Pixel telephones can before long track pulse and respiratory rate utilizing only the camera. The component will be made accessible in Google Fit application for Pixel telephones, the organization reported in a blog entry. The element will be extended to more Android telephones later on, however it isn’t determined which gadgets will get this next.

In a blog entry, Google’s Shwetak Patel, Head of Wellbeing Innovations at Google Wellbeing, composed, the component will be made accessible beginning one month from now, and the organization will depend on sensors which are as of now incorporated into the cell phone, for example, the “amplifier, camera and accelerometer” to follow the new wellbeing parameters.So how might Pixel telephones track pulse and respiratory rate?

Google says clients will simply need to put their head and upper middle taking into account the telephone’s forward looking camera and inhale typically. This will be utilized to gauge the respiratory rate in the Google Fit application. For the pulse estimation, clients will just have to put their finger on the back confronting camera focal point.

Google’s methodology is a surely an interesting one, given that pulse following regularly requires a devoted sensor on wearable wellness gadgets, for example, smartwatches and groups. However, Google is additionally advised that these estimations are NOT “implied for clinical conclusion or to assess ailments.”

The thought is that these will be utilized for individuals who depend on the Google Fit application and need to follow their every day wellbeing. The blogpost adds that clients can decide to save these estimations in the application “to screen patterns over the long run, close by other wellbeing and health data.”

As indicated by Google, they are utilizing the “undeniably incredible sensors and advances in PC vision” to utilize the cell phone camera to “track small actual signs at the pixel level.” So “chest developments” will be utilized to gauge the respiratory rate. For pulse, it will follow unpretentious changes in the shade of fingers.

Be that as it may, how precise is this new element?

Google says the highlights were created in-house and the organization has finished “starting clinical investigations to approve them.” Google is depending on its own standard calculations to ascertain the pulse and respiratory rate. It likewise asserts these will work “in an assortment of certifiable conditions and for whatever number individuals as could be expected under the circumstances.”

The post notes that the “pulse calculation depends on approximating blood stream from shading changes in’s at the tip of somebody’s finger,” and records “for components, for example, lighting, skin tone, age and more to work for everybody.”

While this is surely another and interesting component to advance toward an Android cell phone, remember that this isn’t intended for clinical assessment purposes, yet rather for general, every day wellbeing. Further, the exactness of the component will in any case need to tried once it begins turning out to Pixel telephones.

They Came. They Saw. They Chainsawed.

Oh yes they did! Hard to believe it was already one year ago when I attended the first of these events, and now I’m so excited it’s coming back for round two on December 16. What I’m referring to is Rosen Plaza’s Iced Out holiday event wherein local top chefs put their chainsaw skills to the test, battling each other (not to mention the Florida weather. . .) by creating amazing sculptures out of huge blocks of ice. With a chainsaw. Poolside, at the Rosen Plaza. Now you see why the weather plays a part in this? Even on a cool night carving an ice sculpture outside can be tricky!

Coming to Grips with the Holidays Ahead

It’s different for everyone, but at some point there comes a time in your life when you really start to understand the holidays. I’m not talking about the surprising and many times disappointing Christmas discovery when ‘you know the thing’ (shhh!) about ‘him’. What I’m referring to here are all the other truths you discover about holidays in general – big, small and everything in between – fumbling through them one year at a time.

For instance, I’ll never forget how surprised I was when I had my first Thanksgiving meal away from home and realized that the delicious homemade stuffing my mother had been laboriously creating all those years from scraps of bread saved and held frozen for months actually wasn’t the best one out there. Mon Dieu!

1. Water hose for rinsing off your turf.

2. Mild household detergent for cleaning spills or pet waste.

3. Sponge mop, for mopping up those spills.

4. Spatula, for scraping off dried-on spills and debris.

5. Paper towels or microfiber cloths, for sopping up any standing liquid on the surface of your turf or picking up any debris.

6. Brush with synthetic bristles for brushing heavily trafficked areas and fluffing up the turf as needed.

In addition to these best tools for turf installation and maintenance, you may want a few other artificial turf maintenance tools to make quick repairs of edges or deep cleaning or stain removal needs. Some of these come in during the installation phase, like seaming glue and landscape stakes. Others, like sprinkler caps or turf rakes, can be helpful even after the lawn is installed.

Maintaining Your Artificial Turf

With all the supplies at the ready, cleaning your turf is a no-brainer. Here are simple instructions for the care and maintenance of your artificial turf.

Cleaning Artificial Turf

The quickest way to clean your turf is to use the hose to rinse it off. If there are larger pieces of debris, such as pet waste, pick it up and remove it. You can also use a sponge mop to mop up liquid spills from the surface, using a little household detergent as needed.

Removing Stains from Turf

Stains may come from food or drink, pets, or natural occurrences like mud. Depending on the type of stain, you should be able to remove them with a spray of the hose or a simple household detergent-water mixture. Use an ammonia-water combination for more tricky stains. Those who are particularly concerned about the integrity of the environment may want to find their favorite biodegradable soap. You can find a list here

Brushing Artificial Turf for Aesthetic Purposes

The final step in maintaining your artificial turf is brushing it occasionally with your synthetic bristle brush. The turf can be beaten down, especially in high traffic areas, where people are walking or playing a lot. By brushing the turf, you can restore the aesthetics of the grass and keep it looking fluffy and full longer.

Finding Products for Artificial Turf Maintenance

The products you need to maintain your artificial turf can be found online, at garden centers, and through artificial turf specialists like SYNLawn Dallas.

Dallas area business owners and homeowners turn to artificial turf to reduce costs and time associated with care and maintenance. The artificial turf maintenance tools may be ones you have around the house and can be done on your own or with professional help to give you more leisure time.

Legislative Priorities Report December 31, 2021

A little over a year ago, former Chairman Allen West asked me to write a weekly email to the Republican voters of Texas regarding the progress of the Republican Party of Texas Legislative Priorities.  I remember thinking at the time that it would be a challenge to write something that often!  Thankfully, that turned out not to be the case and, as the session began, the Legislative Priorities Committee had plenty to report on.  Chairman Rinaldi has graciously consented to allow me the privilege of continuing to write these reports.  As we transition from a year of legislative sessions to a year of midterm elections, our reports will come only as needed. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you. I am truly grateful for the support of those who have read the reports faithfully, shared them with others and, more importantly, took action.

It has been a busy year for RPT and the Legislative Priorities Committee. Prior to this year, many Republicans didn’t realize the party even had legislative priorities.  So, we began with an explanation of how they are selected and what our priorities were for the 87th Legislature.

We had no idea when the regular session started there would wind up being three Special Sessions, and that we would still at the end of the year be calling for a fourth to protect our citizens from loss of jobs and medical tyranny.  We remain hopeful Governor Abbott will call another session to pass a ban on vaccine mandates, and to address remaining Legislative Priorities like banning pediatric sex transitions and reinstating felony penalties for election fraud that were reduced in the election integrity law.

When Democrats, including many House committee chairs, fled Texas to break quorum in an unsuccessful attempt to kill election integrity legislation, it brought to the forefront the issue of whether Democrats should continue to chair committees in the Texas House.  Though it wasn’t often discussed a year ago, the grassroots have brought this issue to light and will have the opportunity to vote on it as a ballot proposition for the March primary ballot.

As we head into 2022, I want to personally express my gratitude to the many Texans I have had the pleasure of meeting this past year.  It has been such a blessing to speak across the state at your clubs and events on our Legislative Priorities.  I am overwhelmed at your kindness and support of these reports.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making every call, sending every email, and for sharing our emails with your friends.  It has made a difference, and our elected officials are now aware that their constituents care deeply about the priorities chosen by our convention delegates.  We are setting a goal to pass all our Legislative Priorities in the 2023 session, as we should when Republicans hold a majority in both houses of the Legislature and every statewide office!

Finally, if you found our Legislative Priorities reports valuable, please consider donating to the Republican Party of Texas help us continue our work.  As you know, our Texas GOP is committed to our state platform, liberty, unalienable rights, limited government, protecting the lives and innocence of children, protecting parents and families, traditional values, and a strong Texas which includes a border that is protected.  The state party has a headquarters office in Austin, with excellent staff who believe in our principles and work hard to support all the county chairs, SREC, precinct chairs, and other volunteers across the state.  They make sure the primary and general elections are conducted in each county, and support those working the elections.  They run our marketing and social media campaigns, and make the voter contacts necessary to win elections. In short, they do all the things we need to help our many activists and elected officials to keep Texas red.

Whatever amount you can donate will be put to excellent use to keep the lights on, pay the staff, and pay our other monthly bills.  There is a red donate button at the bottom of this email, and all the monies collected there go straight to the state party.  Thank you for anything you can do!

In 2022 we will continue to advocate for our Legislative Priorities and work toward an overwhelming victory in the 2022 midterm elections. We will have much work to do as primary season ramps up, so spend time with your family and rest as we continue this Christmas season of thankfulness for the birth of our Savior, and anticipate a critical new year as we fight to hold the great state of Texas.

For God and Texas,

Jill Glover
Chair, SREC Legislative Priorities Committee

Where: Five Minute Friday

I’m snowed in for another day in Ohio. I would be going stir crazy if it wasn’t for the week I’ve had. Today I am thankful for more time at home.

On Tuesday I awoke to my 11 month old having a seizure.

The moments that followed her seizure were even scarier than the event itself. She laid unresponsive on the floor and police officers, paramedics, and firemen paraded into my home. Nothing can prepare you for moments like this.

God was with us that day. She spent most of the day resting in the hospital and slowly coming back around. She was diagnosed with febrile seizures which were caused by the onset of a fever. We didn’t even know she was sick! The thing with these seizures is that oftentimes the episode is the first indication that something is wrong.

So, yes, I am counting my blessings on snow day #6. I’m happy to be home with my babies and to have my baby girl back to herself.

For my Five Minute Friday post I am writing a poem of thankfulness for God’s peace through all that I experienced this week. To join the FMF community or to check out their posts be sure to check out the site. This week the prompt is Where.

In the middle of the battle you were there

Wrapping me in your arms of care.

Time stood still and I was scared,

But You were everywhere.

You brought peace and healing

In Moments when my heart was reeling.

 Hopelessness was all I was feeling.

Thank you, Lord, for intervening.

  1. What a scary experience for you and your family, coming out of the blue as these things do. It’s good to hear your baby girl is home from hospital and recovering, as are you. May you continue to sense God’s loving, healing presence. Visiting from five-minute-friday. Blessings of peace to you and yours.

Batch #16: Webcomics

This is the second of two BiliBili Comics focused batches, meaning it’s the continuation from last week. With this batch, I’ve covered all the genres they’ve listed. You can read some basic stuff about BiliBili Comics in my Reading Platforms Master Post.

If you’re interested in a similar batch, let me know what platform(s), and I’ll dig into it very happily. Free options are easier, but not necessary, though, more importantly, I prefer something not yet listed on the apps in the Master Post, so I can expand it.

The Martial Emperor’s Life After Seclusion
Ling Ge comes from a different world, and though he never had a master, his martial arts abilities quickly grew and became amazing. However, he went into seclusion 10 years ago after defeating invaders of Eastern China. Now he’s been lured out by a girl who wanted to join a sect, and, to protect her, he joined as well, pretending not to be as strong as he truly is. But before long, it seems trouble is knocking on his door, and by dealing with that, he ended up inviting more.

I have to admit I had no positive expectations on this because it’s a harem manhua, but I was not only pretty pleasantly surprised — I enjoy that he’s canonically a feminine-looking guy. It annoys me that the girls have determined that he’s a pervert, even though he’s far from bad in any way, and I swear, those girls are far more perverted than he is. Far from a favourite series, but I like it.

The Missing Piece

Just want to say that this blog is surviving another year, as I just paid the annual costs a little while ago. My wallet hurts and the fact I also ordered more BL made it hurt even further. But worth it!

…I think?

I will also, probably, post reviews on any day of the week at any time starting today. My life has changed a lot over these past years, and I need to adjust my posting to that… even though it’s been difficult to admit, at the end of the day.

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Ji Mingxuan’s mouth. His voice was beyond gentle: “Shen Mo, did you call the wrong name?”

Shen Mo finally remembered what he was supposed to do. He approached Ji Mingxuan and held his hand. “Mingxuan.”

“Yes.” Ji Mingxuan leaned affectionately toward him, whispering, “Don’t forget our relations.”

“Lovers,” Shen Mo smoothly answered.

Fake lovers, he added in silence.

For the past three years Shen Mo has been in a fake relationship with Ji Mingxuan, to please Ji Mingxuan’s sister Ji An’an. But when she returns after three years abroad, so does her boyfriend — that is, Shen Mo’s ex-boyfriend — Zhou Yang. Shen Mo is reminded of his past, while confused by his contract lover Ji Mingxuan, and bothered by the ex he has since long let go of.

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System Vol 1

This is part of my growing number of Mo Xiang Tong Xiu posts. If you want to find more, check out the author tag here.

Also, I’m sorry for the lack of update, my health hasn’t been very good at all and I’ve been busy with working on stuff. But I’m happy to announce that, believe it or not, I tied third for an award as a queer author of youth (YA/NA) fiction.

“Dumbfuck author, dumbfuck novel!”

After cursing out the novel Proud Immortal Demon Way and its author with his last breath, Shen Yuan woke up in an unfamiliar place. Having promised himself not to ask anything stupid if he ever transmigrated, he’s quick to adapt… and realises to his horror he’s the villain with the most miserable end in the very novel he cursed out, and with an annoying system telling him to improve the novel to boot. Can he improve the story, fill plot holes and not kill himself in the process?

Word of Honor

5591ac7ea222407aabda68a8c343032d (1)Zhou Zishu (Zhang Zhehan) has decided he wants to leave the Window of Heaven, but to do this, he has to go through pain to keep all the secrets quiet until he eventually dies. But Zhou Zishu uses a second method to not lose his senses and martial art right away, and he disappears into the martial art world.

Wen Kexing (Simon Gong) and his maidservant Gu Xiang (Zhou Ye) sees a man and Gu Xiang is certain he’s a beggar, but he doesn’t even have a bowl. Wen Kexing says he’s only sunbathing. Xiang doesn’t believe this and goes to make sure. The man says he’s only sunbathing.
