And there are so many instances of it too - Oscar losing the family money while being the one in charge of it because he's a man with no thought for anything than himself, Peggy choosing a career then leaving working for Mr. Fortune because he was using his position as her employer to push himself onto her, Bertha being ambitious, calculated woman who openly loves and fights for her family, and so many more examples that I'm not including.

Well, I wrote another Bertha/George story. I couldn't help myself. It's finished so luckily weekly updates will follow, just like the other story.

Close Your Mouth by Rhye & Just Dancing by Sylvan Esso on repeat saw this story through. A scene with Marian and George popped into my head one day, and I built the story around that. Anyway, thank you for reading. xx

Bitcoin traders have spent the past week bracing for the wrong kind of surprise, watching rate-cut bets evaporate as a run of firm labor data pushed the odds of a Federal Reserve hike by year-end toward 85% and dragged the 10-year Treasury yield up near 4.5%. Understandably, it dominates the screens, given how much of the past two years of price action has hinged on the cost of money. But now, a…

Precious metal verification has become increasingly important in industries such as jewelry trading, recycling, pawn services, and material inspection. Traditional testing methods often require chemical reagents, destructive sampling, or time-consuming laboratory analysis. Today, handheld XRF analyzers provide a faster and more efficient alternative for precious metal testing.

Handheld XRF technology uses X-ray fluorescence to identify the elemental composition of materials within seconds. By detecting characteristic fluorescent signals emitted from the sample surface, the analyzer can quickly determine the content of elements such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and other alloy components—without damaging valuable items.

Compared with conventional chemical testing methods, XRF analysis offers several advantages:

Non-destructive testing

Fast on-site results

Simultaneous multi-element analysis

No complex sample preparation

Improved efficiency for daily operations

CHEESION handheld XRF analyzers are widely used for:

Jewelry and bullion verification

Gold and silver recycling

Pawn shop inspection

Precious metal trading

Incoming material quality control

With portable operation and reliable analytical performance, XRF analyzers help users improve testing efficiency while reducing the risk of misidentification or material loss.

As the precious metal market continues to grow, rapid and accurate elemental analysis has become an essential tool for businesses seeking better quality assurance and operational efficiency.

Incoming Gilded Age Season 4 Theory: I've gone down a rabbit hole of (real) Gilded Age history since I started watching the show in 2022. One thing I noticed in the teaser clip released this week for season 4 is that Bertha is wearing a white dress with a gold sash. New York suffragists were known for wearing white, gold and purple as their emblematic colors. I can't help but wonder if Bertha and Agnes find themselves in opposing groups both fighting for the same end goal of suffrage (which was a real thing, unbelievably, early on in the U.S. in the struggle for women's right to vote).

One XRF Analyzer. Hundreds of Possibilities.
