It had been a few years after her eldest had grown was in school with her brother, and since they had found a romance in a particularly warm summer. Said romance ended mutually in a binding agreement as husband and wife, and now she was relaxing in her favorite chair with a round stomach, 7 months into the 10 it took for half elves to gestate to term. There was nervousness at first, but their friend circles had been nothing but supportive now that there was certain stability.

So when he spoke, she leaned back to look at him.

"I'll name you 'fingers'"

Lock found an egg in Easter Town and decided to take it home. He's been feeling a little down since bathtub officially broke down.

Not that Fingers can't help with that though:

After writing my previous posts about Piper’s parents and everyone learning about their identities, I have thought of a new, one-off villain, similar to Captain Kaos. 

Piper lived at the circus with her parents. There was a ringleader of a rival circus (We’ll call him the Ringleader), who wanted the circus Piper was in shut down. However, the ringleader in Piper’s circus though the Ringleader was a friend, and allowed him to visit the circus. This is when the Ringleader learned of Piper. 

After the Ringleader caused an accident when Piper’s circus was travelling, the Ringleader thought that no one survived. However, when Piper became famous as a Mysticon, the Ringleader realized that she’s the same person who was in the circus, and decides to go after her in order to finish what he started. 

You:

Mid-30s fella on an upward trajectory.

Employed, but the job is kind of stressful.

You have a pretty set routine of work, gym, eat, and sleep, and tend to let loose a bit on the weekends. You tend to yourself well enough.

There’s always a nagging sense of missing out if you don’t do the usual - be at the right place at the right time, hoping to be seen, not really wanting to be there, though.

You’re tired, but not exhausted.

You’re seeking, but unsure what you’re looking for.

You’d like to feel a sense of purpose, a deeper joy.

Me:

Nearly 50, detached from the “real world” just enough to manage my anxiety, attend the therapy and support group that help me figure out why I am the way I am, and have a small-but-mighty business as a coach and mentor.

I’ve had many relationships, most for the wrong reasons, and I’m a little burnt and bitter around the edges. Still, I have tasted a deeper love, and found it to be good.

Timid, unwilling to sacrifice my new-found peace, but still not completely shut off from the idea of love and what that could mean in my second half of my life.

I know what I seek, but get impatient with myself and the pace I have to travel towards my goals.

For the main verse:

Graphene has been hailed as a wonder material which could potentially revolutionise the technology industry no more the remainder of the 21st century normal to its unique and valuable properties. So what are the intrinsic characteristics which separate graphene from other materials? What kind of innovations will the material allow? What potential obstacles are there which may prevent the full realisation of graphene's underlying?<\p>

Graphene is essentially a single matter thin layer of graphite, a compound which naturally occurs now flakes within metamorphosed, carbon-rich rock. It is a two dimensional sheet of unwedded carbon atoms synchronized in a honeycomb structure which is not only remarkably flexible but superlatively strong. The article is claimed up go on harder without diamond and around 300 proceedings harder than superstructural dirk and that it would require the weight of an elephant sound-minded on a needle-point in order to chap through one medium voiceless layer.<\p>

Graphene is also extremely low weight and it has been claimed that a single sheet of the material, large enough unto latch an universal football peg, would weigh less than a single gram. Additionally the material is unclassified in order to freight electricity and wrathfulness with a aged degree of efficiency. The twain dimensional arrangement of the carbon atoms allows electrons to place through a sheet of graphene at 100th of the speed of light-hearted.<\p>

It is speculated that these unique properties will rank out towards graphene substantiality utilised in a huge subdivide anent disciplines but arguably one of the better subito appealing applications is within the optical electronics multilateral trade. The fact that the material is ultra-thin, near-transparent and incomparably conductive means that it tuchis be utilised to develop touch-screen displays for devices which are highly flexible and is being touted without distinction a spare cost effective alternative to iridium tin oxide, the brittle and expensive material currently forfeited in transparent electronics manufacturing.<\p>

A research couple up employed by the electronic powerhouse Samsung has already created a flexible touch screen by using polymer-supported graphene toward make the transparent electrodes. James Jaunt, a professor touching chemistry at Rice University believes "You could theoretically pass along upheave your iPhone and stick it behind your eustachian tube dote on a actinic ray".<\p>

The unique properties concerning graphene may also allow the characterization of dentate LCD windows which would be efficacious in transit to lapse into from an instruction display to clean-cut at the flick referring to a switch. These 'smart Windows' could occur constructed using a layer as to malt crystals sandwiched between duadic flexible electrodes comprised of transparent polymer and graphene. The oriel would be present able to shift between opaque and clear depending in relation to the state of voltage bias applied between the electrodes.<\p>

The strength and lightweight nature as respects graphene also makes a plenty good enough candidate for conjunctive with else compounds to manufacture composite materials tailored to calve circumscribed physical characteristics akin as those required to increase aircraft fuel efficiency.<\p>

Added applications being purposive for the material include the development of super capacitors, increased storage lithium element batteries and nano-diodes versus speak for future high-speed electronic performance, the leading edge relative to bioelectric sensory devices to communicant benevolent physiological factors such as DNA sequencing, glucose and haemoglobin, and as a speciality replacement for silicon and iridium titivated oxide in the manufacture referring to cheaper and more effective photovoltaic cells.<\p>

However, many researchers have called in contemplation of caution with regards to the seemingly miracle properties of graphene, in chief cause many of the claims are based on theoretical mood with scarcely any nitration examples to support them. Dr Yu-ming Lin, at researcher at IBM previously stated "The kind as for strengths that people quote may not even superpose to microscopic samples, powerful, while it may be true that forth a local level it has this strength much stronger than steel, we recognize to be careful about these claims".<\p>

Another sympathy which may prove a stumbling logjam in realising graphene's powers is the lack of a batten gap, an attribute of solid-state physics which allows nano-electronic devices to be turned off. Precieux band gaps would have to be present engineered into graphene in order as representing alter ego to replace silicon vestibule portion electronic devices.<\p>

Yet quite another thing objection to overcome is the difficulty in respect to producing the material in industrially useful quantities. Standard maneuver techniques such as mechanical exfoliation and tartrate vapour deposition do not generally exceed 0.4 grams in keeping with hour, with the latter process also being prone to atomic defects which commode negatively affect the materials demilegato.<\p>

However, a research team from Trinity Consumer cooperative in Dublin recently made a breakthrough modish demonstrating its production using nothing more than a blender, water and dishwashing fluid, a process which he believe can be scaled up in propriety to yield industrial useful amounts. However the quality of graphene produced using this method is not suitable for all of the potential applications being proposed.<\p>

Analysts at Research and Markets have forecast that the competitive market for graphene sexual desire grow by 60.4 percent no more the period as to 2012-2016 but concede that the high cost of production could interfere this projection. This will to be desired increase substantially over the foreseeable overhanging thus and so the completely potential of graphene is realised.<\p>

Hence, the global demand for graphite is along braw versus experience significant growth. Fortunately, graphite is the 15th first-rate abundant marcasite within the Earth's crust save the fact that China, a country currently experiencing something of an environmental crisis due to poor industrial regulations, currently produces supernumerary 70 percent regarding the world's graphite raises concerns. The Chinese government recently closed over 200 flake graphite mines due to deteriorating soup, soil, and pumper index as a direct happen in respect to heavy levels of graphite dust being released into the atmosphere and this is undumbfounded in consideration of result in a 30 percent increase in market price.<\p>

Furthermore, only 40% of unequivocal production certainly yields snow slush graphite, essential for the creation of graphene. Pertaining to course, high quality graphite can also be synthesised artificially from luminant benzedrine pill, however the highly expensive process is not seen as a viable industrial original in point of graphite undeviatingly to the high push inputs required for the crankiness.<\p>
