كَانُوا قَلِيلًا مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ

They used to sleep but little in the night.

There are some ideas.

1. Adjust Defensive Assignments: Make necessary adjustments to defensive assignments based on the opponent's hot players, and main action the play . What you can do about it . Assign your best defender to guard their primary scoring threat, deny them the ball, and randomly read abd react trapping system. Switch defensive assignments to employ a more versatile and adaptable defensive strategy, stifling their offensive rhythm, to force other players to step up and take more difficult shots.

2. Analyze Offensive Weaknesses: Identify and exploit the opponent's defensive vulnerabilities. Focus on attacking their weaknesses through strategic play-calling, such as exploiting mismatches or running specific offensive sets to exploit defensive breakdowns. Good working against overall defensive strategy ( if interesting can explain more deeply ). This targeted approach disrupts the opponent's defensive cohesion and can swiftly shift momentum.

3. Strategic Substitutions: Make astute substitutions to inject fresh energy and make tactical adjustments. Also on your sub , you can give instructions to other players , what to play , who to attack, who cut to off. Rebound Etc. Evaluate player matchups and bring in defensive specialists or high-energy players to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. Selective substitutions can reinvigorate the team and provide a necessary spark during a crucial phase of the game.

There is more , so I can make part two , if I see people interesting.

I'm probably not a real pro but I have a little internet knowledge from a previous job and for passion, so I want to tell you a couple of things about recognizing a link (especially when you get them via email or message) and avoiding a bit more to fall into a fishing trap.

Let's keep in mind that obviously they only want your data (and it's generally something related to your money/any service you have an account on which is connected with your money cards/bank account).

Rule n°1: do not click immediately. Never Ever.

Even if you get a message and it falls in a trusted list (like from an agency that usually sends you notifications through sms)

Rule n°2: Calm down. Is the grammar of that sms or email correct? Or has it mistakes?

If it has mistakes it's obviously translated with Google and therefore not correct. (Same goes for websites, but I'll get back to this later on)

Rule n°3: is an actual problem or a something made up?

E.g. is it an actual access to your private area or a tried one?

If it's only a try that didn't go well, let go immediately.

If someone accessed, pass to the next step.

(If you get emails from delivery services of your area, look at the language used. If they ask you immediately to add your data, it's obviously a scam. And if you have not a delivery planned/or if it's from a service/agency you don't even have an account with... let it go. Scammers randomly send emails/messages to groups of emails/number through various internet services, hoping to arrive to someone that falls into their trap.)

Rule n°4: take a look at the domain

Is the first part of the link the usual trusted domain of their website? Or it is different? Is the "location" (.com, .org, .net, .uk, .us, .fr,...) the correct one?

A trusted shortened link is generally made of a shorten of the name of the service+the location / a part of that domain (generally related to your client area on that site or something like that).

e.g. www.loveyourlovelysoul.com/myarea can transform into loveyour.com/myarea

As said, seen that scammers are interested in your data, they'll use "myarea" or "client" to make you worry and click on it.

If the link you see it's all mixed up, it has an incomplete domain or a different location, close everything and let go: it's an obvious scam.

e.g. myarea/loveyou.us is different even from the shortened one

Remember that domains end with the location bit, and each part of that domain is added after that bit, not viceversa:

e.g. loveyour.com/blabla and not blabla/loveyour.com : these are two entirely different domains, and therefore, websites (and it gets even more clear if the "location" bit is different: loveyour.com and blabla/loveyou.us).

Rule n°5: At least never click from your phone, try to put the domain on your computer's search bar: especially if you have firewalls and antivirus and all the rest, it can help you blocking the page or at least give you a hint about it being a scam (okay, it can work also on recent phones, but I'm an oldie, I rather work on these things from my netbook that btw has no emails or whatsoever connected to it, differently from my phone ofc)

Rule n°6: if by any chance you land on the website

When you land on a website, look at how is buildt. Look at what is written and if you see any grammar mistakes, close the window and go away.

If you cannot see a way to get to a homepage, it's another sign that's the only page of that domain, and therefore it's a scam (especially if they only ask for your data)/not your usual website.

Look at what they ask as data to acces your private area: the usual email + password? Or you should add also other infos like your phone number (so to pass through those "double check" walls you may have and be able to change your password anytime, no matter if you change it too)? Can you see the captcha code after it? (Usually scammers don't add it)

Rule n°7: Change your passwords

If you still click and add your data (or see some random access you didn't make), go and change your password and any other extra info on the original website of your service (or block/delete anything related to it, especially money cards). If you were asked for the phone number and it's the same connected to your email's account for your "double check" security thing, go change that on the emails' settings as well (if not, they still have the power to change your email's account password too -even if i'ts probably not their main goal: they want to access any service related to your bank account, more generally-). To be more sure and safe, you can delete that account on that service and create a new one with a different email and password. Remember it's safer to use different passwords everytime you create an account on a specific service/website. Write them down on a paper for extra memory and safety;)

Tumblr's scams:

If you get messages or asks or comments with videos or random stuff/links: never click on them. Take a look at the preview of their blog if anything, but don't mind them. It's generally a scam (and also, beware even of trusted tumblrs, cause some may get hacked sometimes. Pay attention at what you read and contact the real owner if you know them). In general: don't watch, don't look. Don't worry. Delete, block, report. It's all good.

Even if you end up seeing some videos or read some words and might be triggering for you, don't worry. Don't panic. Nobody is after you. They don't even know what do you blog about.

These scammers send the same thing to a bunch of blogs they may find while searching for a specific # or something like that. Just delete/block/report. It won't stop those people to probably create new blogs from which keep annoying people, but at least you'll feel a little more at peace.

Okay so these is a short guide for beginners (I noticed it's something not everyone may know about), if any of you has any other info or suggestion to add, please do that.

The HellBilly Pulpit: Time is a Fraud.

Well, at least the current standard and practice of measuring time and how it affects us.

Our ancestors, thousands of years ago, didn’t have clocks to follow.  They relied on the natural order of things to help them keep track: the moon, the stars, and the seasons to name a few.

It amuses me at times. To sit here and watch people, myself included, unfortunately, base everything on this idea of the time we all follow knowing that it’s all a man-made premise.

How old am I? How old are you? Who really knows? It was practically arbitrarily decided that XYZ equals the months, days, and years we follow.

Measuring time started out as a way to keep track of the weekly Sabbaths, but there was much debate on when this actually occurred. So modern timekeeping started to be used as a way to take “man and the creator” out of the equation. This was based on the lunar cycle. The most attuned way of keeping time out of man's hands and rearrangement of cycles is using “Atomic Time” which keeps its rhythm with the moon and the stars. This sounds fine to me, but in the end, it is still a manmade practice used to determine the passing of time, which continues to still be “tweaked” by leap years and the days in a month.

We have to follow these rules of time to keep managed and maintained. Everything is rushed or put off based on these principles. “We have a deadline to meet”, “you have two days to turn it in”, or “you have a month till you go on vacation”, and so on and so on. So with the way of things, you don’t get to really experience life by always looking at your watch or phone for when it’s time to do the next chore or go to the next place. Humans were not meant to be in these little uniformed rows following each other to the same cadence. We evolved from nomads that were always on untethered journeys. But now, “You have to be back at…” is what they always say when you go on a trip now. It gives that feeling like you have to make it back at that certain point no matter what, regardless of if you have to shorten your trip or the sights you wanted to see.

No, I can’t sit comfortably here and do this anymore. I’m of an age where my hair is mostly gray, my body hurts for no reason, and even sometimes just sleeping in a certain way will jack me up for days. I know by those measurements, I’m getting older. I don’t need your clocks to tell me that my 20s were 20 some years ago. I can see it in my face when I look into the mirror. I can see it in my kids as they grow older. The clock is irrelevant to these things.

It’s all corrupt. It goes along with the wonderful concept of capitalism. It’s really rather brash if I think about it enough. Just the plain idea of man’s audacity to try to control how time is measured is incredible.

I mentioned before you can follow or observe any of the natural ways to keep track of your time. The modern use of the clock as a means to regulate our days only really just began in the 20th century.

All of our occult kin have our methods and practices to pace ourselves, a tremendous amount of groups or practices follow the moon for most rituals just as our Native American friends and others track by its stages.

The druids built Stonehenge, Sailors used the stars, and ancient travelers could judge by the position of the sun. We as pagans and heathens have to keep this in mind to live our best life. We are not bound to the clock other than when we have to get our kids from school or get to our dentist appointments.

I mostly use the change of seasons to remember how long ago something really was. Like when I think of the first ritual I attended 13 summers ago, or that I have been with my partner these 11 summers now. I’ve found this can help to keep from being so distracted and miserable watching the hours tick away every day to relate it to the experiences that you have had since that certain event, or how much life you have to look forward to experiencing before going on that next vacation or having that next anniversary

Get back to your roots.  As the stars and sun have their dance. They don’t care what day we call it, or what “time it is”. They just keep doing what it is they do… We should too.
