Letter to All Struggling Girls

First I will like to say kudos to all the aspiring, successful girls in the whole world. Thank you for never belittling your worth  even if you faced the most disgusting challenges. Thank you for always staying true to your self no matter how hard it may seem. You have indeed given power and humor to all the women who thought that their lives ended in the kitchen. My deepest gratitude goes to women who multi tasks even if those around  them never the altitude of sacrifice, that they have to put through so that every one is left smiling and happy. Like I always say and  believe, gender doesn’t apply to me. I sincerely believe that everybody should be treated equally. Thank you also to my fellow beautiful, young, and  hardworking girls, who are trying really hard to make their mark in this knotted world, who sleeps really late and work tirelessly for someone to recognize their diligence someday.

The journey to success is surprisingly long, sometimes I ask myself if it is possible to ever relax, to the extent of not moving a muscle, and yet things will be going exceptionally well. I hungrily dream for that moment where I will have to do nothing but still be  making headlines. This road is like zig zag. One moment you feel you are finally getting there but at another instance, you realize you have only moved two inches from where you have been. Hard work never subsides, I think it is aggravated by your level of achievements. The more you acquire, your thirst is motivated to want more. That means, much more devoted time to that dream which give you a reason to go on even if it might seem impossible. Girls have to face a whole lot of challenges not necessarily secluded but it is paramount. Sometimes I hear that most women gave up their dreams just to give their husband the satisfaction of having full concentration on the kids and other small household chores, later in life, they conclude the story by telling their kids that they gave up their dreams just to make them happy.

The sad truth is that it pays when both couples have to work together, split the work and the bills. when you were marrying her, you swore to be one, that doesn’t mean she has to be your cook and your laundry woman and retire to bed as your dessert. yet, men still complain that they wish their wives could be mentally active.It is hard being a girl but you could manage that. Sometime ago, I got a job. I thought it would be easy as the first two weeks was light. Along the line, challenges kept coming, mistakes which I never bargained of kept happening, insults which I never dreamed off kept pouring at my face. I wanted to give up each second the environment treated me ugly. I kept telling myself that the job wasnt my line of interest. I practically took the job based on personal reasons. I struggled really hard and was patiently counting the day I will leave, because I wanted to resign amicably not because a situation happened. In that same job, I have devoted my time, money, labour, innovation, and materials. I even went out and about for my boss to be happy but he always  sees the mistakes instead of the progress. He was always quick to throw  the blame on someone. It was quite a task having to deal with him daily. It took me  while to realize that, he was the best boss I could ever ask of. He brought out various things in me I never thought existed. He challenged me in various project, not that I am perfect but moving two-inch away from who you used to be is quite a huge progress.

Success deals practically with patience, determination and persistence. Success is not doing it when you feel like, it is doing it beyond all odds and impossibilities. It is taking that inconvenient step. It is doing more than your best. It is not about giving up because of self shortsightedness, it is seeing the future even if it seems bleak.

Being pretty is not the drill anymore; putting your value weigh much more than the easy route offered to you by a guy’s hard-earned money. As girls challenges will come, disappointments, trust me even hardship but you have to be self-confident about everything. You have to learn how to stay busy even if there’s nothing to be done. On this road to success, you will have heart breaks, but remember to keep thriving hard no matter the gallops in the road. You will even love the wrong person, you will make mistakes that will make you feel like shutting down but you got to keep trying to improve your self no matter how life treats you. Your body should be your pride not another man dumping ground. Value what you have because each time you sell a piece of your self to a man you are loosing your worth in a gradual process. Be too graceful to accept quick way of success. No matter how life is, I have nurtured myself to always do things that will make me have peace at the end of the day. Equip yourself. Try out a goal that has been in your heart for so long. No matter how little you start, just keep trying, keep your focus straight and learn to fight for the things you want.

There are so many I know of, that think I am prefect, smart, brilliant but they don’t know the struggle I have to face to become the woman I am today, some might laugh and say, who are you? My answer to that is  I am a girl filled with so much potential and dreams. A girl who rather walk a long distance instead of accepting a car lift that would eventually have an adverse effect; a girl who rather lacks instead of accepting money from just any guy; a girl who believes God’s plan over her life is greater than she has ever imagined. I am just a girl who despise the easy way out. I still have a long way to go but I know I am not where I used to be.

I laugh when I see hustlers[girls] hounding over married men, they have forgotten that one day, they too will get married. Call me a fanatic, but I am certain you might admire my disciplined personality of no-nonsense. Struggle for the right hustles, wait patiently for your time, don’t be too forward and too predicted. Don’t let people know every detail about your life, and mind who you share your aspirations to. You will feel down at some points, but remember the reason why you started. sell your truth even if you can’t stand it. don’t love someone you can’t have, because it would give you sleepless night over a loss course.

Smile and relax, the journey to success is about diligence and persistency.People would talk, people would look down on your dreams, but keep moving forward . You can do anything as long as you believe

Guide:Surviving in the Hallow

From Terraria Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Guide This is a Guide page.
This means the page will walk you through a specific task, strategy, or enemy/boss fight.
Status: Subject to revision (This Guide does not meet certain quality standards and may be heavily outdated.)
  • Issue(s):
     • Most likely outdated since 1.4Desktop and Mobile versions. Remember not to delete pre-1.4 content; use {{eicons}} and {{eversions}}!
  • The Hallow is considered an opposite to the Corruption or Crimson biomes, since it can spread like they can, and it has light themed items instead of the Evil biomes' Night or evil themed items.

    The Hallow cannot naturally exist in a pre-Hardmode world. After defeating the Wall of Flesh, two diagonal strips in a "V" formation will infect the world. One side of the world will be Hallow, the other being Corruption/Crimson.

    While the Hallow isn't as dangerous as its evil counterparts, it can still be a deceptively difficult biome.

    Recommended Gear[edit | edit source]

    Armor[edit | edit source]

    At minimum, you should have the strongest armor sets available in pre-Hardmode.

    Weapons[edit | edit source]

    For Melee users:

    • Night's EdgeNight's Edge or Breaker BladeBreaker Blade; the former has better damage and knockback, while the latter has greater range.
    • An AmarokAmarokDesktop, Console, and Mobile versions is a very good weapon that can easily be obtained early on. A Hel-FireHel-FireDesktop, Console, and Mobile versions is slightly weaker, and it's acquired similarly.
    • Dark LanceDark Lance is a very strong spear that can handle enemies at close range.

    For Ranged users:

    For Magic users:

    For Summoners:

    • The Spider StaffSpider StaffDesktop, Console, Old-gen console, and Mobile versions is the most reliable minion available. Most Prehardmode minions deal too little damage to be effective against the large numbers of enemies in the Hallow.

    Accessories[edit | edit source]

    Other[edit | edit source]

    Exploration[edit | edit source]

    Surface[edit | edit source]

    The Surface Hallow is the only place where Unicorn HornUnicorn Horns and Pixie DustPixie Dust can be obtained, two materials that are useful for recipes, most notably the Greater Healing PotionGreater Healing Potions and Holy ArrowHoly Arrows. It can be generated anywhere in the world once in Hardmode, including the natural Corruption/Crimson biomes.

    There are only three enemies that can spawn here:

    • PixiePixies are the most common. They have moderate damage and health, and low knockback resistance. While they aren't too big of a threat, be careful to not get overwhelmed by them, especially at night. It rarely drops the Fast ClockFast Clock or MegaphoneMegaphone when killed.
    • A UnicornUnicorn is a very fast enemy that has very high health, knockback resistance, and damage. It can easily catch a player off guard, however it can barely jump, which can be exploited by standing above it.
    • At night, GastropodGastropods will appear. They are common and have high Health, Defense, and can shoot lasers. Since it's considered a Slime, the Expert mode exclusive Royal GelRoyal GelDesktop, Console, and Mobile versions will make it completely harmless.

    Underground[edit | edit source]

    Most of the Hallow's value lies underground, where Crystal ShardCrystal Shards and Soul of LightSouls of Light are acquired. These two materials are required for many early Hardmode recipes, hence they should always be collected or farmed for.

    Crystal Shards will grow naturally on the Pearlstone blocks, while Souls of Light have a chance to be dropped by any enemy killed within the biome. A good farming spot for the latter is a wide section of a cavern, where all enemies will spawn within one place. The area should also have an enclosed area to hide in when at low health.

    Since Pearlstone BlockPearlstone takes longer to mine than regular Stone, the area can be difficult to explore. Explosives or a Hardmode ore Pickaxe should be used to deal with this problem.

    Like every other biome in Hardmode, there are stronger enemies added to those in the regular Caverns.

    • Illuminant BatIlluminant Bat are very threatening. With no Wings or a substantial movement accessory, they should be avoided, as they have higher stats than Giant Bats.
    • Chaos ElementalChaos Elemental are dangerous when venturing the Underground Hallow: They can easily catch a player off guard with their ability to teleport, and have high health. They don't jump very high however, so they are easier to kill when standing above them. They can easily be seen since they glow in the dark.
    • Illuminant SlimeIlluminant Slime are common and easy to deal with. They should only be treated like a slime with higher stats.
    • Enchanted Sword (NPC)Enchanted Swords are very rare, and they have a chance to inflict CursedCursed on hit. They move through blocks, and charge towards towards the player. If hit however, they will start spinning, becoming unable to move. This makes them rather easy to deal with.
    • Hallowed MimicHallowed MimicDesktop, Console, and Mobile versions are rare, but they should always be avoided until better gear is obtained, as their massive stats and attack patterns make them incredibly hard to kill underground.

    Other Tips[edit | edit source]

    • The Hallow spreads in a similar way to the Corruption and Crimson.
    • Unlike Corruption/Crimson, NPCs can live in the Hallow without leaving. In fact, it is a good idea to have your base Hallowed, as this will stop the evil biomes from coming towards it.
    • The Crystal SerpentCrystal SerpentDesktop, Console, and Mobile versions is a great weapon that can be very easily obtained at the beginning of Hardmode. It has a 1/200 (0.5%) chance to be obtained from fishing in the Hallow.

What I particularly like about these step hacks is that they are really adaptable and so you’ll reap the benefits without having to give your daily routine a totally overwhelming overhaul…

𖤐 Keep track of how much you are walking: This doesn’t have to be pricey, many smart phones now have a built in step counter and whilst they don’t count steps if you’re walking on the spot, overall they are just as effective as a fitbit or a pedometer.

𖤐 Buddy up: Not only does having a partner make your walk more enjoyable it gives you an accountability partner and personally, I’ve found this to have made a huge difference to my motivation and success.

𖤐 Take the stairs: This is a really simple habit to start which has a suprisingly positive impact… When I want to give my steps an extra boost I’ll park on the top floor of the car park and make sure I use the stairs.

𖤐 Go foraging: Not only is foraging for berries a really lovely activity, it’s also a wonderful way to squeeze in some extra steps… On one of my recent walks, I was lucky enough to find sloe berries, however as I wasn’t prepared to be berry picking, I took the opportunity to return the following day – it was a double win as I boosted my steps and gathered some lush berries to make myself some sloe gin.

𖤐 Ditch the drive through: It might not seem like it will make a huge difference but even baby steps are positive steps… Ditching the drive through for a walk-in orders makes quite the difference to your step count.

𖤐 Become a home-town tourist: Take a moment to think about all the places you haven’t visited in your home-town… A quick internet search will show you a list of all the local parks and trails and you’ll probably be quite surprised to learn all the places you have yet to explore.

𖤐 Walk your errands: If you’ve got a task to do, find a way in which you can do it without the car… A few examples include, walking to a post box, grocery shopping and collecting prescriptions from the pharmacy.

𖤐 Walk to clear your head: Getting outside and walking is a wonderful way to clear your head and gather your thoughts: the combination of fresh air and exercise is the perfect cocktail for helping you de-stress.

𖤐 Make walking a date: Walking is a lovely way to get to know someone or connect a little deeper… Walking dates don’t have to be overly romantic, but they offer the perfect opportunity to re-create some of the over cringey and loved up movie scenes…

𖤐 Walk and talk: Next time you’re taking a phone call use the opportunity to go for a walk and give your step count a boost (make sure your phone is fully charged beforehand).

𖤐 Mix things up and make it interesting: If you feel unispired and that your normal walking routine is rather boring, get creative and re-route! You can apply this idea to dedicated walks, or walks which are already part of your routine.

𖤐 Listen to podcasts: Why not take the opportunity to pop your headphones on, tune into a podcast, head outside and take a short escape from reality… This method will leave you feeling inspired and with so many podcasts available, you are bound to find something which grabs your attention.

𖤐 Take a break: If you’ve been sat down for too long, or you are feeling stuck in a rut, head outside and go for a walk… This will shake things up and hopefully when you return you’ll be feeling motivated and re-inspired to move forwards.

𖤐 Go window shopping: I’m all for saving the pennies and living a more sustainable lifestyle but window shopping is a fab way to get outside and have a nosey at what’s going on in the world… If you walk into town, then wonder around the shops its a simple way to boost your steps and it won’t cost you a penny.

𖤐 Walk for charity: Charity walks have always been popular and there are always so many deserving causes which are looking for support and funding. You could choose to do a charity walk alone, or buddy up with a group of friends, to increase both the fun and the feel good factor!

I’m currently on day four of my 10,000 steps and I’m pleased to share that I’m still smashing my goal… These are some of my favourite habits to increase my steps, however, I am always looking for new ideas and I would love to read your suggestions in the comments…

IT WAS NEARLY THREE O'CLOCK of the afternoon of the seventeenth of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy five, that the solid mass of silent veterans which had landed upon Moulton's Point, and had prepared themselves with due deliberation to execute the order of the day, moved forward to attack the American army, then entrenched on the summit of Breed's Hill.

To General Howe himself was entrusted the responsibility of breaking up the American left wing, to envelope it, take the redoubt in the rear, and cut off retreat to Bunker Hill and the main land. The light infantry, therefore, moved closely along the Mystic river, threatening the extreme left, while the grenadiers directed their advance upon the stone fence, with their left wing demonstrating toward the unprotected gap which was clearly exposed between the fence and the short breastwork next the redoubt. General Pigot, who commanded the left wing, advanced directly against the redoubt itself.

The movements were heralded by a profitless artillery fire from Morton's Hill, but this soon ceased, for the solid shot all ready for use, were designed for twelve-pounder guns, and those in position had the caliber of sixes. The prompt order to use only grape, was followed by an advance of the pieces to the edge of an old brick-kiln, the spongy ground and heavy grass not permitting their ready handling at the foot of the hill slope, or even just to its right. The guns, thus advanced, thereby secured a more effective range of fire upon the skeleton defenses of the American centre, and an eligible position from which subsequently to effect a more direct fire upon the exposed portion of the American front, and upon the breastwork and redoubt themselves.

The advance of the British army was like a solemn pageant in its steady headway, and like a parade for inspection in its completeness of furnishment. This army, bearing their knapsacks and the full equipment for campaign service, moved forward as if by the very force of its closely knit columns it must sweep away all obstructions, and overturn every barrier in its way. But right in the way was a calm, intense, and energizing love of liberty.

It was represented by plain men of the same blood, and of equal daring. Contrast marked those opposing Englishmen very distinctly that summer afternoon. The plain men handled plain fire-locks. Ox-horns held their powder, and their pockets held the bullets. Coatless, under the broiling sun, unencumbered, unadorned by plum age or service medals,—looking like vagabonds after their night of labor, and their day of hunger, thirst and waiting, this live obstruction was truly in the way of that advancing splendor. Elated, conscious, assured of victory, with firm step, already quickened as the space of separation lessens, there is left but a few rods of interval—a few steps only, and the work is done.

A few hasty shots impulsively fired, but quickly restrained, drew an innocent fire from their front rank. The pale men behind the mock defense, obedient at last to one will, answered nothing to that reply, and nothing to the audible commands of those steady columns, waiting still.

It needs no painter to make the scene seem clearer than it appears from the recital of sober deposition and the record of surviving participators on either side. History has no contradictions to confuse or explain away the realities of that fearful tragedy.

The left wing is near the redoubt. It is nothing to surmount a bank of fresh earth but six feet high, and its sands and clods can almost be counted, it is so near, so easy, — sure !

Short, crisp, and earnest,—low toned, but felt as an electric pulse from redoubt to river, are the words of a single man—of Prescott! Warren by his side repeats it! That word runs quickly along the impatient lines. The eager fingers give back from the waiting trigger. "Steady men !" "Wait until you see the white of the eye !" "Not a shot sooner !" "Aim at the handsome coats!" "Aim at the waist-bands." "Pick off the commanders !" "Wait for the word, every man, steady!"

Those plain men, so patient, can already count the buttons, can read the emblem on the belt-plate, can recognize the officers and men whom they have seen on parade at Boston Common. Features grow more and more distinct. The silence is awful. These men seem breathless— dead! It comes, that word, the word, waited for— "Fire!" On the right, the light infantry gain an equal advance, almost at the same instant that the left wing was treading so near the humble redoubt. Moving over more level ground, they quickly make the greater distance, and have passed the line of those who marched directly up the hill. The grenadiers also move upon the centre with the same serene confidence, and the interval has lessened to the gauge of space which the spirit of the impending word defines. That word, waits behind the centre and the left wing, as it lingers behind the breastwork and redoubt. Sharp, clear, and deadly in tone and essence it rings forth—"Fire!"

From redoubt to river, along the whole sweep of devouring flame, the forms of brave men wither as in a furnace heat. The whole front goes down! For an instant the chirp of the cricket and the grass hopper in the freshly cut grass, might almost be heard, then the groans of the suffering, then the shouts of impatient yeomen who leap over obstacles to pursue, until recalled to silence and to duty.

Staggering, but reviving, grand in the glory of their manhood and the sublimity of their discipline, heroic in the fortitude which restores them to self-possession ; with a steady step in the face of fire, and over the bodies of the dead, the remnant dare to renew the battle. Again, the deadly volley, and the shattered columns, in spite of entreaty or command, move back to the place of starting, and the first shock of battle is over.

A lifetime when it is past, is but as a moment! A moment some times, is as a lifetime! Onset, and repulse! Three hundred lifetimes ended in twenty minutes.

Putnam hastened to Bunker Hill to gather scattering parties in the rear, and to facilitate the passage of reinforcements across the isthmus, where the fire from the British shipping was maintained with destructive energy. But the battle at last had to depend mainly upon the men who had toiled all night, and who had gained confidence and firmness by the experience of those eventful hours. Nothing could bring the reinforcements in time.

The British troops rapidly re-formed their columns. Never, on other battle fields, did officers more gloriously evince the perfection of discipline, and the perfection of self-devotion. The artillery was pushed to the front, and much nearer to the angle made by the breastwork next the redoubt, and the retiring line through the open

gap to its left. The American officers animated their men, and added fresh caution not to waste a single shot. The guns of Gridley and Callender were temporarily employed at the unprotected interval near the breastwork, and then withdrawn to the rear. The company of the latter officer became scattered and never returned to the fight. The remainder of the line kept up to duty, and resumed the silent waiting which had been so impressive before the attack began.

The British columns again advanced, and deployed as before across the entire extent of the American lines. The ships of war redoubled their effort to clear the isthmus of advancing reinforcements. Shot and shell cut up the turf, and dispersed the detachments which had reached the summit of Bunker Hill, and the companies which had been posted at Charlestown to annoy the British left, were driven to the shelter of the redoubt.

Charlestown had already been fired by the carcasses which fell through its roofs, and more than four hundred wooden houses kindling into one vast wave of smoke and flame, added impressiveness and terror to the scene, while a favoring breeze swept its quivering volume away from the battle field, leaving to the American forces a distinct and suggestive view of the returning tide of battle.

Nearer than before, the British troops press on! No scattering shots anticipate their approach this second time. It is only when a space of hardly five rods is left, and a swift plunge could almost fore run the rifle's flash, that the word of execution impels the bullet, and the front rank, entire, from redoubt to river, is swept away. Again, again, the attempt is made to inspire the paralyzed troops, and rally them from retreat; but the living tide flows back—flows back even to the river.

Another twenty minutes, hardly twenty-five, and the death angel has gathered his battle harvest, five hundred sheaves of human hopes, as when the Royal George went down beneath the waters with its priceless values of human life.

At the first repulse, the 38th regiment had halted under the shelter of a stone wall by the road which passes around the base of Breed's Hill, between the slope and Morton's Hill. At the second repulse, the same regiment supported on its left by the 5th, held a portion of its command in check, just under the advanced crest of the hill, and gradually gathered in the scattering remnants for a third assault.

The condition of the British army is one of grave responsibilities and grave issues. That which had the color of a simple dispersion, and punishment of half organized and half armed rebels, begins to assume the characteristics of a "forlorn hope" in a most desperate struggle.

"A moment of the day was critical" said Burgoyne.

"A continuous blaze of musketry incessant and destructive," says Stedman.

The British officers pronounced it, "downright butchery to lead the men afresh against those lines," says Gordon.

"Of one company not more than five, and of another not more than fourteen escaped," says Ramsay.

"Whole platoons were laid upon the earth like grass by the mower's scythe," says Lossing.

"The British line totally broken, fell back with precipitation to the landing place," says Marshall.

"Most of our grenadiers and light infantry, the moment they presented themselves, lost three-fourths, and many nine-tenths of their men. Some had only eight and nine men a company left, some only three, four, and five," is the statement of a British letter, dated July 5th, 1/75, an d cited by Frothingham.

"A shower of bullets. The field of battle was covered with the slain," says Botta.

"A continuous sheet of fire," says Bancroft.

"The dead lay as thick as sheep in a fold," said Stark.

It was just at this protracted interval, yet less than a single hour, that each army evinced the great qualities of their common blood.

Clinton and Burgoyne had watched the progress of events from Copp's Hill, and with true gallantry and courage, the latter threw him self into a boat with reinforcements, and volunteered to share the issue of a third advance. Four hundred marines additional to the 1st battalion which had remained at the landing place, hurried across the narrow river, and these united with the 4th regiment under General Clinton, were ordered to flank the redoubt, and scale its face to the extreme left, while General Howe with the principal part of the grenadiers and light infantry, supported by the artillery, undertook the storming of the breastworks bending back from the mouth of the redoubt, and so commanding the entrance.

The remnants of the 5th, 38th, 43d, and 52d regiments under General Pigot, were ordered to connect the two wings, and make an attack upon the redoubt in front.

A demonstration was also made against the American left, more to occupy its attention than to force the defenses. The artillery was to advance a few rods, and then swing about to the left, to sweep the breastwork for Howe's advance.

The preparations were nearly complete. It only remained to bring the men to their duty. Knapsacks were unslung, every needless encumbrance was laid aside, and the troops moved forward stripped for fight.

The power of discipline, the energy of wise commanders, and the force of every possible incentive which could animate British veterans of proud antecedents, and established loyalty, combined to make the movement as memorable as it was momentous.

Within the American lines the preparation involved equal responsibility, but under fearful discouragement. Few of the troops had three rounds of ammunition left. During the second attack a part of the men loaded while others fired, and the expenditure of powder was commensurate with the results. The remaining cannon cartridges were economically distributed, and there was no longer any hope that substantial aid would come to their relief. There were less than fifty bayonets to the entire command, and gloomy apprehensions began to be entertained, but not at the expense of a firm purpose to fight to the last.

During the afternoon General Ward sent forward his own regiment and those of Patterson and Gardner. The last named officer led three hundred of his men safely across the isthmus, reached Bunker Hill, and commenced to throw up earthworks under the direction of General Putnam, but was soon ordered to the lines, and was mortally wounded while executing the order. Few of his men actually participated in the fight, the majority, after his fall, returning to Bunker Hill. Adjutant Febiger, a Danish officer, gathered a portion of Colonel Gerrish's regiment, reached the redoubt as the last action commenced, and did good service, but the other regiments were too late.

Putnam, impressed with the critical nature of another attack, de voted himself wholly to an attempt to establish another position on Bunker Hill for accumulation of reinforcements, and a point of resistance, in case the advanced positions should be abandoned, but he could accomplish nothing in the face of the activity of the shipping, now delivering its fire at short range.

Within the redoubt itself, and along the slender line, all was resolution and attention to duty. Colonel Prescott appreciated thoroughly the purpose of the enemy as soon as the sudden wheel of the British artillery to the left, indicated their power to concentrate its fire upon his lines of retreat, and the reduction of the redoubt. The order was given to reserve every shot until the enemy should come within twenty yards. One single volley was delivered as the attack was made at the same moment upon three sides of the ill-fated work. For an instant the columns were checked, but in another they dashed forward with bayonets fixed. Those who first surmounted the parapet fell. Major Pitcairn was mortally wounded as he entered the works. Lieutenant-colonel Abercrombie, Majors Williams, and Speedlove shared his fate. A single artillery cartridge was distributed for a last effort, and then, intermingled with the assailants, fighting with clubbed guns and stones, the garrison yielded the contest, and each for himself, under Prescott's order, made a quick retreat. Prescott and Warren were the last to leave, and the latter, just without the redoubt, shot through the head, gave life to the cause he had so valiantly defended.

But with the capture of the redoubt, the struggle was not ended. Major Jackson rallied Gardner's men on Bunker Hill, and with three companies of Ward's regiment and Febiger's party, an effort was made to cover the retreat, and a vigorous fire was for a short time maintained upon the advancing enemy. It saved more than half of the garrison.

At the rail fence and clear to the river, Starks', Colt's, Reed's, and Chester's companies twice repulsed an attack, and by a resistance, prolonged as long as their powder held out, they afforded opportunity for the fugitives from the redoubt to make good their retreat. Then they also fell back, in no precipitate flight, but with a fair front, and a steadiness worthy of their brave resistance.

Putnam made one more effort to halt the men at Bunker Hill, but without bayonets or ammunition, worn out in physical strength, and hopeless of a successful resistance, the retreat became general, and the day closed with their occupation of the field works of Prospect Hill, and other defenses nearest of approach.

The British army occupied Bunker Hill, but did not pursue be yond the isthmus. General Clinton advised an immediate attack upon Cambridge, but General Howe declined the attempt. Both armies were too worn out to renew battle, and Colonel Prescott's gallant offer to retake the position if he could have three fresh regiments, found no response from the committee of safety and council of war. Both armies lay on their arms all night, equally apprehensive of attack.

The losses are given as officially stated, and as adopted by Stedman, and Bancroft.

British casualties. Nineteen officers killed, and seventy wounded; of rank and file, two hundred and seven killed, and seven hundred and fifty-eight wounded. Total casualties, 1054.

American casualties. One hundred and forty five killed and missing, and three hundred and four wounded. Total casualties, 449.

Thus each army lost nearly one-third of the forces brought into real action.

Thus brief is the record of a battle, which, in less than two hours destroyed a town, laid fifteen hundred men upon the battle field, equalized the relations of veterans and militia, aroused three millions of people to a definite struggle for National Independence, and fairly inaugurated the war for its accomplishment.

Our History

It all began one day in Italy……

Looking at what was left in a fresh fish shop after closing hours brought tears to my eyes? Who had miscalculated the amount of fish being sold? Or has greed taken over, hoping for extra customers while the sea is emptying?

Short term thinking has never been wise and will end in a catastrophe for the whole population, not just for those who pursue a policy of overfishing, catching dolphins “accidentally” in nets, killing them and polluting our ocean.

We need to be sure that there is enough food for all of us without destroying the ocean!

I would like to share some of the thoughts from my heart on that day…

  • Why is it high on so many people’s wish list to experience a “swim with the dolphins”?
  • Why do humans pay a large amount of money to watch dolphins in an aquarium?
  • Why do people spend lots of money and time on “whale watching”?
  • Why do many travel far to experience the whales or dolphins in real nature?

Why, on the other hand, do some humans kill these magnificent, intelligent cetaceans with no regret or emotion and, at the same time, so few protest against this cruelty?

It’s not just the whaling or dolphin industry that those beautiful mammals have to protect themselves against, it’s indeed also the pollution, climate change, loss of food sources, toxic substances, sonar testing, digesting tons of plastic and net entanglement with fishing equipment.

What is there to be seen in nature if we ruin it all? And what will be left in a few years for our children?

Zoos, Aquariums and Reserves will maybe be the only places left to experience what once was a natural element in our lives, and with time also those will disappear.

Marine Mammals belong to the Ocean and NOT to Aquariums. Wild animals belong to their natural habitat and NOT to Zoos or Reserves!

This is what, in January 2015, made me understand that I had to act immediately!

We must all act now and use human intelligence, inspired by the intelligence of the dolphins and the whales, to save the ocean and its beautiful mammals.

Founder: Berit Legrand

“Life and circumstances may lead you to a destination but it doesn’t mean that one has to stay there! Being confronted with the endless cruelty to animals and the deterioration of our oceans that mankind has caused, I realised it was time for me to act and defend with the same energy and compassion I have undertaken in other fields of my life”. Berit has a rather unusual background compared to others in her field with over 38 years in the coaching industry & fitness world and more than 25 years in the financial world. However her love and passion for the ocean and the animals has been with her since a child.

At Nine we create content that is inspired by culture, and in turn we believe our content inspires culture. This phenomenon is explored further in the Powered by Nine Cultural Conversation series. Our latest addition explores the rise of echo chambers in Australia and their impact on society, media and brands.

Choose any of the big topics facing Australia today – climate change, racial inequalities or COVID-19 – and venture online. What you’ll find is groups of Australians living in completely different worlds, populated with different voices of truth and different facts. These are what are known as echo chambers.

Echo chambers are places where Australians are conditioned to disbelieve and tune out others with an opposing point of view. The conditioning of distrust in echo chambers is a result of the people inside, but also of the technology we cannot see. Today, polarising belief groups form on issues that are central to Australia, not knowing the real impact technology is having on their beliefs. But is technology the problem, or are we? And is technology what is needed to fix a divided Australia, or is it humanity? Powered by Nine explored these questions in, “Hello, Can You Hear You?” and unpacked the role media and brands must play in an Australia divided by echo chambers.

Discover some of the findings below.

The Project

At the end of 2019 Powered by Nine began working with Fifty5Five to develop a study into echo chambers, their impact and what that means for brands.

We started with reading – a lot of reading – to understanding existing academic and cultural rhetoric around echo chambers.

Next we held a series of “conflict groups” – bringing together Australians from opposing sides of big issues – including vaccination, climate change, and progressive/conservative news consumption.

The findings from these groups were further explored and validated via quantitative research with a nationally representative sample and with marketers.

Here’s some of the headline findings across 3 key themes.

How has COVID-19 impacted values, attitudes & behaviours in regards to Christmas 2020?

What is more / less important to Australians this year?

And what does this all means for brands?

In tribes we've trusted

For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. We can’t help it, we have an innate need to belong. One of our most powerful survival mechanics is to be part of a tribe, to contribute to and take from a group of like-minded people.

Tribes thrive, today and in the past, because being in one feels good. 9 in 10 Australians identify being inside their tribe as a good feeling. The core tenets we derive from being in our tribes is validation, a sense of belonging and the freedom to express as ourselves.

Meeting outsiders of your tribe is often a negative experience. Rationally, Australians want to break out of their echo chambers – 8 in 10 say debating different points of view is essential for Australia to have a positive future. But emotionally, we avoid doing this.

In echo chambers, we now trust, but at what cost?

If there was a poster child for an echo chamber, Donald Trump would be it.

Trump systematically manipulates who his tribe trusts. Anything thing that doesn’t align to his beliefs is branded ‘fake news’ and his followers have been conditioned to believe the source is to be dismissed and distrusted as it doesn’t share in their ideological interest.

But how many people, who may exist outside of the Trump echo chamber, automatically dismiss and distrust whatever he says? Give him an on-going metaphorical eye roll? Yes, what he says can be crazy, but what about the times when he does stay on script – when he shares crucial news or information? What do we automatically throw out with the bathwater and never even realise we’ve missed? This is the core issue with echo chambers.

Progress comes when we illuminate more nuanced points of view rather than the binary. What is revealed is we have more in common than our adherence to echo chambers allows us to think.

What the vaccination echo chamber group came to realise through their nuanced discussion was that their viewpoints are born from the same desire – to do what’s best for their children. The all want to do the same thing; they’ve just landed in different places on how to do that.

Mass media the place where echo chamers meet

With the fragmentation of media, we have also seen the fragmentation of something else – the voice of truth. Today, 67% of Australians find there is an increasing amount of conflicting information on the issues they feel they need to know about. We are turning to different places; we are hearing different voices of truth.

With social media one of little trust for Australians.

But there is a place in today’s fragmented media landscape that Australians trust more than others… it is the place where our echo chambers meet, where people with differing points of view share in the same content.

Fortune favours the brands with a POV

Australians respect someone with a point of view more than someone without one. In fact, 74% of Australians have more respect for someone who has a point of view.

Issue and purpose based marketing is here to stay. Brands that get it right are viewed as; Modern/having integrity/being more outward-looking and therefore easier to connect with.

Brands that lack a point of view are considered to be: representing an old school way of thinking – focused on looking inward towards themselves and more interested in profit than their customers.

As we’ve seen, as people we are moving further and further apart, but we can lower our voices, change our tones, take steps towards one another – brands can have a point of view but say it in a way that’s inclusive and respectful – mass media presents the platform where respectful conversations can happen.

In the tireless fight for election transparency, Project Amistad, of the Thomas More Society of America, filed a new lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., to allow state legislators to elect their state’s electors.

The legal requirement is due to several state governors refusing to allow their elected representatives to meet for that purpose, despite the fact that the election results were challenged, according to a Dec. 22 WDN alternative media article.

The reluctant governors are from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The goal is to meet to certify the voters before Congress acts, that is, before Jan. 6, when the votes sent by the Electoral College would be tabulated.

Although in many states the Electoral College allocates votes based on the popular vote, the Constitution gives power to legislatures to elect the electors.

“Since the U.S. Constitution places the final authority for designating Presidential Electors in the hands of the state legislatures, it is the responsibility of the representatives elected by the people to judge the relevant facts and to appoint an appropriate list of Electors, subject only to the only deadline set by the U.S. Constitution is 12:00 noon on Jan. 20, 2021,” according to Project Amistad.

“Kings and Queens dissolve parliaments and legislative bodies, not governors. At least that was the case until this year,” reiterated Project Amistad Director Phil Kline, in Parler.

He added, “Governors in these battleground states have declared that they are the law because of the COVID [CCP Virus] and are now actively preventing state legislatures from exercising their constitutional authority to review the electoral process.”

“No person, or small group of persons, should be able to prohibit the state legislature from fulfilling its constitutional responsibilities,” Kline also said.

The lawsuit calls for declaring unconstitutional federal and local legislation that interferes with the state legislatures’ constitutional rights to appoint presidential electors.

Project Amistad lead attorney Erick Kaardal said this was the case. “Unfortunately, the current federal and state code has allowed a constitutionally non-delegable legislative function and responsibility to become a ministerial process,” Kaardal said, according to the alternative media PR Newswire.

Pandemic in NYC: #5

I saw on twitter the other day “if your job requires an appreciation week you probably aren’t getting paid enough.”  It’s definitely true.  It was just a nurse appreciation week.  I don’t know if most nurses felt appreciated or felt any difference during that week.  I’m sure they have much more pressing and crucial things to think about than a vague holiday that barely exists.  It’s like the customers that always tell my cashier co-workers and me about the people who make the noise for the frontline workers at 7pm.  They always tell us to thank you for what we do and they ask if we hear the ruckus at that time.  I never have though because I’ve always been… at my register working.  This country is very much about the talk and flimsy gestures in terms of “appreciation” instead of shit that would make us feel appreciated like livable wages.  The people who keep everyone eating and alive and society as close to normal as possible are the ones who are suffering the gravest effects of this pandemic.  The ones who are dying are the ones who had no choice to go to work because their job put profits first and didn’t shut down or the ones who couldn’t miss a days work because they had to make sure they had rent and food for their family.

Speaking of cutesy but flimsy appreciation…

Pandemic in NYC: #4

This is a picture of me finally with my hair down at the end of a long workday.  I work at a Grocery store in manhattan.  These are our dingey lockers where we keep our pens (they get stolen if we leave them on our registers) and our sad little lunches.  You can see my seltzer hanging from my bag.  I like this picture cause my eyelashes look as dramatic as I feel and because the angry skeleton represents how I feel about this new job that I’m working for minimum wage.  I feel angry and dead. lol cheers!

Mask On

This is my angsty mask face. It’s been a long week. I got my teeth whitened (via Groupon, dumb I know) and they burned my younger and mouth so badly. The only plus side is that I got a face mask from the lady who whitened my teeth/assaulted my mouth. I have been trying to find some for a while but amazon is sold out and hardware stores are closed cause of Covid. I’ve been using for quite a few days now and disinfecting it but now that too seems gross. The next step is making my own out of paper towels. My best friend showed me a video of her uncle making a face mask out of nothing but string, a hole punch and stapler. So if I can find string and a stapler that will be my solution.
On the brighter side I’ve been a live in nanny in NJ for the past three days and tomorrow I get to go home!!! I can’t wait to be quarantined in my own space. Stay safe y’all!

How will the coronavirus change sports?

The go back of sports activities has begun, greater than 4 months since they have been close down amid the unconventional coronavirus pandemic, highlighted via Main League Baseball, the WNBA and Thursday night time’s extremely expected resumption of the NBA season throughout the Disney International bubble.

However this week’s coronavirus outbreak throughout the Miami Marlins, which pressured the cancellation of a handful of MLB video games, served as a sober reminder of the demanding situations dealing with each sports activities group, and as NFL coaching camps opened inside the previous few days, a number of avid gamers have selected to sit down out the season moderately than threat contracting the virus whilst enjoying.

What’s going to be the long-term affects of the pandemic at the sports activities global? We requested a number of of our sports activities newshounds and columnists to offer their predictions, and their solutions ranged from a brand new fashion for collegiate sports activities to larger dangers amongst soccer avid gamers.

Much less corruption and less middlemen

It’s virtually incalculable how a lot the pandemic will exchange issues. Initially, the danger posed via huge crowds at world gatherings will downsize if now not kill the Olympics as a mass spectator match and construction undertaking, which is gloomy however will do away with a large number of graft. 2nd, it is going to dramatically cut back the scale of faculty athletic departments and via extension additional diminish the Olympic motion, additionally getting rid of graft in addition to bloat.

So-called newbie athletes will endure investment losses first of all, however my hope is new fashions will stand up that minimize out one of the crucial administrative middlemen. Some sports activities gained’t continue to exist. Some will go back to their membership roots.

Extra dangers for athletes and the potential for a surprising demise

The NFL’s refusal to categorise avid gamers with a frame mass index (BMI) over 30 as a part of the at-risk crew prone to the unconventional coronavirus, because the CDC has completed, may be very telling. In denying opt-out advantages to that crew that the league has prolonged to others, the NFL is tacitly acknowledging what we already know: A bigger portion of its team of workers suits into the at-risk class than that of another main North American game. It’s now not tough to consider a situation the place one of the vital many offensive or defensive linemen within the at-risk crew falls critically unwell or dies. Then what?

The affect of repeated concussions is a sluggish burn that takes impact out of doors the view of the general public (for essentially the most section). However a coronavirus demise will probably be surprising and public. The response of enthusiasts – and the NFL – to this type of tragedy will probably be telling.

Sports activities with out spectators?

It’s so tough to are expecting the affect of the coronavirus on the way forward for sports activities since the floor underneath each side of this query shifts virtually day-to-day and in seismic type.

In relation to sports activities themselves, I believe we’re seeing that the ones sports activities with some extent of inherent social distancing — auto racing, tennis to a definite extent — will probably be impacted a long way not up to touch sports activities which are so common in the USA, soccer tops amongst them.

In relation to the wider affect, I believe many forget the query of ways the coronavirus will have an effect on the fan “revel in.” At what level, if ever, will it’s protected or prudent to pack 20,00Zero-seat arenas with screaming enthusiasts for varsity basketball or NBA video games? What about soccer stadiums? The grandstands at Daytona World Speedway? It can be that for a very long time, sports activities change into leisure that’s handiest introduced by way of TV and now not staged for spectators within the stands.

Amateurs with extra negotiating energy and house owners who may promote

The results of the unconventional coronavirus pandemic will exchange sports activities in myriad techniques, and two of the ones techniques display how far-ranging they’re going to be.

The collegiate sports activities fashion might be totally upended — as athletes see a real-world instance of ways a lot worth their efficiency holds, they’re going to be extra empowered to call for reimbursement.

And in skilled sports activities, the monetary hit may result in a reasonable shakeup in possession — staff house owners who lack monetary fluidity, both of their sports activities possession or different trade ventures, is also hard-pressed to not promote and reap the speedy monetary spice up.

Considering soccer? Have a look at MLB.

NFL groups have begun opening their coaching camps totally. However the trail ahead may be very unsure as Allen Sills, the league’s leader scientific officer, stated he stays cautiously constructive in regards to the season however he is aware of that “this will probably be not easy.”

The NFL determined in opposition to a single-site bubble plan just like the NBA is doing. The nearest comparability to the NFL’s way is Main League Baseball’s, and issues in MLB aren’t having a look specifically promising at the moment.

A coarse decade for professional sports activities, and a brand new fashion for varsity athletics

At minimal, the affect on sports activities will probably be devastating for a number of years yet to come. If the leagues don’t get started enjoying the lengthy recreation, the wear and tear of this pandemic may reason a well-liked exchange to sports activities as we all know them.

The monetary fashion of faculty sports activities will have to exchange, and after going via this, athletes are going to push greater than ever for each a minimize of the ones price range and a few more or less voice in key decision-making processes. Established professional sports activities leagues are going to have a coarse decade, and the ones nonetheless looking to acquire footing are prone to being pressured to close down. The adjusted viewing behavior of enthusiasts and their willingness to put money into tickets to video games, even after there’s a coronavirus vaccine, is a vital factor to regulate. The cash will apply — or dry up, in some instances — in step with their converting tastes.

Sports activities banquet on custom and a type of intrinsic pastime that seldom is at risk of dissipating. This permits them to construct their companies with virtually blind optimism. On this scenario, it’s sensible to be extra pessimistic and strategic find a greater method to exist.

Smaller stadiums and a brand new method to rejoice

It can be a very long time earlier than some enthusiasts really feel at ease sitting in a crowd once more, and as stadiums have got larger and larger through the years, it’s conceivable that pattern will exchange as a result of faculty directors (and boosters) staff executives hate seeing empty seats. Has the craze of 100,00Zero-seat mega-stadiums crested, taking into consideration the prices of keeping up them? NFL groups have large tv contracts, however the vast majority of faculty techniques don’t. How are you able to justify greenlighting a stadium enlargement if you’ll’t ensure it’ll ever be complete once more?

If not anything else, the coronavirus — and the way we’re formed via this historical second — may spell the demise of the handshake, and with that the high-five. By some means the elbow bump doesn’t really feel rather proper after a game-winning landing, however who’ll wish to slap a complete stranger’s hand after this?

Some football golf equipment might cave in

U.S. football’s first-tier leagues tailored to the instant, developing bubbles in Utah (NWSL) and Florida (MLS) for month-long tournaments. Early scares gave method to wholesome studies. Industry demanding situations look forward to, then again.

And not using a profitable TV contract, MLS is predicated closely on game-day income. The fan absence will sting financially. The massive Eu leagues have returned with out incident, however they’re enjoying in empty stadiums, too. The industrial fallout in world football will punish the switch marketplace and push some golf equipment towards insolvency.

Restricted get right of entry to may well be right here to stick

Groups and leagues have restricted media get right of entry to as sports activities have returned, and understandably so. Alternatively, I believe this present fashion of media get right of entry to for sports activities protection — just about, with newshounds having little to no face-to-face touch with the avid gamers and coaches — may have an unlucky, lingering affect on credentialed reporters.

Maximum enthusiasts most probably don’t care if sports activities newshounds have get right of entry to that’s very important to their task, however the high quality and nuance of sports activities journalism will endure.
