This is a follow-up episode I came up with that represents the second half of a two episode arc! For necessary context, the first episode is here: https://www.reddit.com/SpyxFamily/comments/11rkera/an_episode_arc_idea_involving_garden/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
(Wishing everyone luck with all the text!) Lemme know what you think! Tl:dr Loid is injured but is still being targeted by an assassin from Garden. Fiona and Yor step up (separately) to keep him safe.
The episode begins in an inpatient room at the Berlint General Hospital where Loid is sitting up in bed staring at the ceiling. Internally he combs through the events of the last few hours in an attempt at understanding what occurred. He remembers stumbling in the hallway due to the effects of the poison, but doesn’t recall anything between that moment and when he regained consciousness with Anya and Yor. The memory of waking up to them both anxiously kneeling around him lingers in his mind. As he lies in thought, Fiona enters the room followed closely by Sylvia, who has disguised herself as a doctor at the hospital. Sylvia asks Twilight how he is feeling and he tells her he is alright, but is worried about the state of the mission considering what has happened. Sylvia tells him she is already trying to find ways to probe into the poisoning without arousing too much suspicion. Fiona mentions that she will have the opportunity to question the nurse that delivered the tainted wine to Twilight soon and Sylvia encourages her to remain discrete as she does so. Sylvia states that the attack does not seem to fit what they would expect from the SSS, believing that if they knew who Twilight was, they would be highly motivated to capture and make an example of him rather than carry out a silent execution. This leads her to believe the assassin is working under more covert leadership and with more obscure motives. There is a pause in the conversation before Sylvia, speaking to both Twilight and Nightfall, says that the continued anonymity of the assassin puts Operation Strix in immediate danger of collapsing. She says that uncovering why Twilight was targeted and by whom is now one of their highest priority tasks, to which they both agree. Before she leaves, Sylvia tells Twilight to spend the night at the hospital to recover, to both make defending him easier for her operatives and to not needlessly endanger his cover with Anya and Yor. Fiona internally notes that she would protect Twilight if he chose to stay at the hospital indefinitely. As Sylvia begins to leave, Twilight states that an agent should be assigned to watch his apartment, in case the assassin tries a second, more direct attempt. She tells him she has already sent someone over to watch from the street and leaves the inpatient room with Fiona.
Back at the apartment, Yor greets Franky at the door. As he enters, he notices Anya sitting with Bond by the coffee table and he calls out to her in a gentle manner, asking how she is doing. She replies that she is being brave like chichi and haha, which fills Yor with guilt. As Franky walks over to play with Anya, Yor reflects on the symptoms she observed from Loid when he collapsed, which mirror the effects of a poison she is regularly provided with by Garden for her assassinations. She wonders if the shopkeeper would ever consider Loid a threat, but shakes this thought away, acknowledging that Loid is an extremely upstanding member of Berlint society, with no reason to be a target of her organization. As she thinks, Yor watches Franky play with Anya. At the sight of Anya playing alongside Bond and Franky, Yor gets a determined expression on her face. Anya picks up on the thought Yor is having and turns to her and asks if she would play with them. Yor walks over to Anya and gives her a hug before she tells her she will play later that night, but wants first to visit Loid in the hospital. Anya, knowing this is a lie, is concerned and Franky tells Yor that Loid will be home the next day. Yor insists, saying it will help put her worries to rest seeing him in person and Franky understandably agrees. Anya, still unconvinced, watches as Yor grabs her bag and coat and heads out into the night.
At the hospital, Nightfall and Twilight have a conversation as the inpatient wing transitions into the night shift. Nightfall mentions that there are significantly less personnel in this wing at this time, but she and few other WISE agents will be present and patrolling to prevent any further attempts on his life. As a failsafe means of alerting Twilight to any danger, Nightfall suggests a simple three-knock code, which she can employ if she believes he is threatened and needs to respond. He agrees and Nightfall nods before heading out into the hospital corridors.
Yor arrives at a door and knocks a few times. After a moment, the door opens to reveal the shopkeeper with his hair up and wearing what appears to be a large white linen shirt. He contentedly invites Yor inside, asking her why she is visiting his shop so late and she hesitates to answer. There is a moment of silence before Yor, in a slightly nervous but measured tone, asks the shopkeeper about the origin of the poison he provides her. He appears slightly surprised by the question but does not hesitate to answer. He tells her it is similar to another, more widely known but weaker poison, which is also derived from the same plant. However this particular variation comes from flowers only found in the northern mountains of Ostania. He amusedly notes that it is appropriate that their targets are killed with this poison, as it represents something uniquely and beautifully Ostanian. Yor asks if the shopkeeper is the only one who knows about the mountain flower’s properties, and he pauses before answering. After a moment he asks her again why she came. Yor is nervous, but internally decides that she has nothing to hide from the shopkeeper regarding her intentions and tells him about Loid. The shopkeeper is silent as he listens and when Yor finishes he stares at her stoically before replying. He tells her the flower is not his exclusively, rather that it is open to anyone strong and clever enough to find it. He pauses and then asks her why she is concerned with Loid’s well-being. Yor confidently tells him her marriage has been extremely beneficial in dispelling any suspicion surrounding her and has given her the ability to continue working without fear, but he seems unconvinced. He tells her that distance is what she should prioritize now. If an assassin that has access to the flower is targeting Loid, it is better to allow them to finish their work than risk her identity becoming revealed trying to intervene. He adds that one of the only covers stronger than a wife is a widow. Yor is silent for a moment and then thanks the shopkeeper for his guidance and bids him goodnight. He watches her leave the shop with a solemn expression.
Back at the hospital, Fiona is silently patrolling the hospital wing. Internally she thinks about Twilight sleeping alone in his recovery room and wonders how he is feeling and then reprimands herself for becoming distracted in her fantasizing. As she returns to present, she notices that the employee at the administrative desk to the recovery wing appears to be asleep in their chair. Fiona approaches cautiously, prepared to reprimand him, only to notice a small dart protruding from his chest. Immediately Nightfall dives to the hospital floor as another dart flies just over her head, ricocheting off of the admin desk. She spins and lunges behind her at a man wearing a lab coat and holding what appears to be a small pistol, knocking it from his hand while throwing a punch that lands in his stomach. He recovers and a one-on-one fight ensues in which Fiona finds that the man is extremely talented at hand-to-hand combat. She barely manages to maintain the upper hand until a mutual kick lands him beside his dropped pistol and her back beside the front desk. Without hesitating, he springs for the pistol while she grabs the previously-fired dart that missed off of the ground. As he rises to shoot her, Nightfall whips around and throws the dart back at the man with the intention of incapacitating him with its contents. There is a brief moment where both fighters assess what just occurred: Nightfall and the man both look down and notice darts stuck in their chests. Already Nightfall begins to feel woozy but as she succumbs, she watches the man casually pull the dart from himself and drop it on the floor, storing away his pistol in the process. Frantically Nightfall thinks of Twilight and a way to warn him. Without the strength to pound the ground loud enough to deliver her signal, she believes that she has failed. As the man passes by her, Nightfall grabs his coat with the last of her strength, only to have the man turn and deliver a brutal kick which knocks her unconscious.
The man walks down the halls of the recovery wing, silently looking at each room number before stopping outside of Loid’s room. He enters quietly and sees Loid sleeping in his bed. He walks over to Loid’s IV bag and injects a clear liquid inside. Once he is finished, he leaves the room wordlessly. As he walks back out through the hospital wing, he passes by the incapacitated Nightfall and administrator without pausing to acknowledge either.
In his medical disguise, the man has no issue leaving the hospital without question and once outside he begins to head through the parking garage. Suddenly when he is halfway through the garage, he pauses and stops to turn around. Standing behind him, clearly prepared for a fight, is Yor. Without hesitation, he quickly draws his pistol and fires a handful of darts at her, but she easily avoids them, slashing the last one out of the air with one of her knives. Recognizing the futility of direct combat, the man shoots out the lights of the garage as Yor charges at him, completely plunging the area into darkness. Yor slashes where the man was but he has already moved. Without warning, she is attacked from another angle and cannot respond quick enough. The man lands a number of hits on Yor that she is unable to counter or respond to. She internally pushes herself to devise of a way to locate the man and suddenly has the idea to drag one of her knives along the ground to create sparks. She does this just as the man is attempting to attack her again, but the faint light of the spark gives her the ability to dodge and counter back. Now with a method of fighting in the pitch black, Yor attacks the man head on, simultaneously slashing either one of her knives along the ground to create enough light to keep him visible while stabbing at him with the other. This is a clear turning point in the fight and Yor has the man on his heels, unable to respond. As he goes for a high punch, Yor slips underneath his arm and plunges one of her knives into his chest. The man’s shoulders drop, but he grabs Yor to pull her close and begins to say something to her. Before he can, Yor (uncharacteristically) twists the knife in his chest and he lets out a painful groan. Before he dies, the man looks Yor in the face and says “…He was only a man…our purpose persists”.
Yor pitilessly pulls her knife from the man’s chest and he falls to the ground. She only stares down at him for a moment before turning and running to the hospital entrance, taking care to wipe any obvious blood from her face or hands. She enters quickly and rushes to the recovery wing.
As she runs down the hallway to the front desk, she sees Loid kneeling down beside Fiona. Yor calls out to him and he turns surprised and flustered to see her. She asks nervously if Fiona is ok and he tells her she appears to only be unconscious. Yor asks what happened and Loid says he isn’t sure but believes someone entered the hospital with the intention of hurting him or someone else. Internally Loid reveals that he was able to identify the assassin in his room because Nightfall left three small but noticeable red dots on the back of his lab coat, a visual representation of their danger signal. Before any of the poison from the IV could make it to him, he had already removed the needle. Both Loid and Yor stand up and Loid tells her he is going to find some hospital personnel to help care for Fiona and the administrator. Yor, unable to contain her emotion at knowing Loid and Anya are safe, leans in to embrace Loid as he starts to leave, and although he is initially surprised, he quickly embraces her back. After a brief moment, they let go of each other and Loid runs off to find help. The episode ends watching Loid leave from Yor’s perspective, which slowly pans down to show a small amount of blood still smeared on the inside of her hand.
​
If you took the time to read all of this, THANK YOU! Hope it was enjoyable! (Also a spoiler because I don't think anything else needs to be written, the assassin was sent by the shopkeeper to make Yor a widow)

As social media continues to evolve, here are some of the latest trends you should be aware of:

1. Influencer marketing is becoming more popular, as brands realize the value of partnering with individuals who have a strong social media following.
   
2. Short-form video content, such as TikTok and Instagram Reels, is gaining popularity and is an effective way to engage with younger audiences.
   
3. Livestreaming has seen a surge in popularity due to the pandemic, as people look for ways to connect virtually.
   
4. Social listening is becoming increasingly important as brands recognize the value of real-time feedback and insights from their customers.
   
5. Lastly, there is a growing demand for authentic and accessible content that is relatable to audiences. Brands that can effectively communicate their message in a human way are likely to resonate with consumers.
   

So with the current leaks from Ice (WT) regarding season 3, it begs a few questions:

How will the production be handled?

• I've personally seen a lot of discussion online about the limitations of Studio WhiteFox in their production (largely due to them being very understaffed compared to other studios).
• This was never an issue in earlier seasons due to the lack of dynamic action sequences, which allowed WhiteFox to cut down animation budget by a lot without having a drastic effect on quality (you can see this for yourself when you look back at the episodes frame by frame).
• Now with season 3 (most likely) confirmed, WhiteFox can obviously no longer take this approach as the source material (arc 5 of the light/web novel), has many dynamic action sequences (probably as many or more than the the previous seasons combined)
• So now the question is: how will this be handled?
  • I would like to hear your opinion on this topic
  • There seems to be stuff going around about a potential collaboration with another studios (I'm not entirely certain about the credibility of this).
    • This would probably be the best way to handle season 3 (in my opinion) as it combines WhiteFox's existing storyboarding[?] talent (not sure what the word for it is) talent, with an animation studio that can handle the action sequences.
  • The alternative would be to drastically increase the outsourcing of scenes.
    • This could result in a potentially massive drop in quality (or at least watchability) due to large amount of hands on the project.

How will certain cut content be implemented?

Aldebaran's status as from beyond the "Great Waterfall"

• This point will be important to establish as it should have been implemented in season 1 and is pretty important for arc 7 (season 5 if when it is released #hopium)
• As for how it can be done:
  • I would like to see your opinion on this topic
  • Flashbacks
    • Create a scene in which Subaru (or maybe Priscilla) can remember the cut dialogue from season 1
  • Create anime special content
    • Cut out Aldebaran's role in the plot and adjust it to fit the anime (I'm bouta explode if that happens)
    • Create a new interaction between Aldebaran and Subaru in which this info is revealed (this can fit in pretty well into the arc as Al is a [semi] important character in the arc and he does interact with Subaru [IIRC]) This would be quite nice if implemented properly, and could function as a minor twist for the season.

End of season 2: The rise of "Omega"

• I think some of this is in the side stories, but I haven't read them, so I'm not fully certain as to how this should be handled
• I know for certain that this is important for the future story, but who knows how long it will take until it is relevant
• As for what I think should be done:
  • Add it as an OVA like "The Frozen Bond" (Emilia's Backstory with Puck)
  • Add it onto a potential "Director's Cut" for season 2 (like in season 1)
    • This was how the "Rem... Who?" scene was added
  • Create a flashback
    • This could be done in one of the early episodes of the new season (not really sure how this would be done well though)
• I'd like to see your opinion on this as well

Bridging from season 3 to 4

This is looking a bit far into the future, but I think it is worth discussing

• The main reason this is brought up is due to the fact that the end of arc 5 directly sets up the plot of arc 6 (Anastasia proposing the idea of meeting the "Sage" Shaula to try and help the victims of the Sin Archbishops)
• Due to this, I'm not entirely certain if the best course of action would be to end off on that note
• An alternate option (I can only think on one right now):
  • End once the squad begins their journey to the Pleiades Watchtower
    • Have the squad get ready to start the journey, ending on cliffhanger
• Per usual, I'd also like your opinion on this topic

One extra bit is whether or not we could get season 3 and 4 closer together than like 2-4 years like it is right now. Any info on that?
TL:DR:
How will production be handled?

• WhiteFox has limitations to their production due to staffing and other issues
• There is currently rumor that we may have a collaboration between studios due to this
• If this is not the case, an alternative would be to drastically outsource, but that could create a massive drop in quality

How will certain cut content be implemented?

• Regarding Omega :
  • OVA like "The Frozen Bond" (Emilia and Puck backstory)
  • Director's Cut (Like the "Rem... Who? scene)
  • Flashback (Done in the early episodes)
• Regarding Aldebaran:
  • Flashback
    • Have a character like Subaru or Priscilla recount the cut scene in season 1
  • Anime Special Content
    • Cut out his involvement in the plot and adjust the plot around it (I'm heavily against)
    • Create a new interaction in which we learn info that supplements the cut scene in season 1 (Would like to have this be between Al and Subaru as it would make sense and fit with the WN/LN Plot)
    • Cut scene in season 1: Al is from beyond the "Great Waterfall" like Subaru

Bridging season 3 and 4

• Arc 5 ending directly sets up the plot for arc 6
• I'm not certain if it is best to end at the same spot as WN/LN arc 5
• An alternative to that (can only think of one rn):
  • End once the Pleiades Squad prepare and are about to start the journey (cliffhanger end)

Extra: Any info on whether or not season 3 and 4 can be released closer together? (unlike right now with the 3-4 year gap between seasons)
Please share your opinion on all of this as I'd like to see it.

Whole wheat bread is a popular choice for those looking to incorporate more whole grains into their diet. While it is high in nutrients and has numerous health benefits, there are some potential drawbacks to consider. Here is a list of the benefits and drawbacks of eating whole wheat bread:
Advantages:

• Whole wheat bread is high in fibre, protein, vitamins, and minerals because it contains all parts of the wheat grain, including the bran and germ.
• Better Digestion: Whole wheat bread contains fibre, which can help regulate digestion and prevent constipation, resulting in better gut health.
• Whole wheat bread has been linked to a lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
• Sustained Energy: Whole wheat bread digests more slowly than refined white bread, providing sustained energy throughout the day and reducing the likelihood of a mid-day crash.

Disadvantages:

• Whole wheat bread has a denser and chewier texture than white bread, which may not be to everyone's liking.
• Stronger Flavor: Whole wheat bread has a nuttier, more complex flavour than white bread, which some people dislike.
• Some commercially produced whole wheat breads may contain added sugars, preservatives, or other additives that reduce their nutritional value.
• Gluten Sensitivity: Consuming whole wheat bread may cause digestive issues and other health problems in people who are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease.

Eventually, whether or not to eat Whole Wheat Bread is a personal choice based on personal health needs and preferences. Whole wheat bread is a nutritious and delicious option to consider if you want to incorporate more whole grains into your diet. However, if you are gluten intolerant or prefer a lighter, softer bread texture, there are other options to consider. To get the most nutritional value out of your bread, always read the label and choose high-quality, minimally processed products.

Minimalist design is a style that has been around for decades, but it has recently experienced a surge in popularity due to its clean, uncluttered aesthetic. Minimalism is all about simplicity, and it can be applied to every aspect of design, including modern interior design. If you're looking to incorporate minimalist design principles, here are some tips to get you started.
Start with a neutral color palette
Minimalist modern interior design is all about simplicity and a neutral color palette helps to achieve this. Stick to whites, grays, and other muted tones for walls, floors, and furniture. This creates a calming and serene atmosphere, which is essential for a minimalist interior.
Use simple and clean lines
Minimalism is about simplicity and this applies to the shapes and lines used in modern interior design. Furniture with straight, clean lines and minimal detailing is ideal for a minimalist interior. Avoid overly ornate or fussy designs, which can detract from the overall aesthetic.
Embrace negative space
Negative space, or the space around objects, is an important aspect of minimalist design. In modern interior design, negative space can be used to create a sense of openness and airiness. Leave some areas of your home empty or use simple décor to draw the eye to certain focal points.
Choose furniture with a purpose
When selecting furniture for your minimalist modern interior design, think about its purpose. Every piece should serve a specific function and have a specific place in your home. This will help to keep your space clutter-free and focused.
Keep decor to a minimum
Minimalism is all about simplicity, so when it comes to decor, less is more. Avoid excessive knick-knacks and other decorative items that can clutter up your space. Instead, choose a few simple pieces that can serve as focal points and complement the rest of your modern interior design.
Create a sense of order
In a minimalist modern interior design, everything should have a place and be in its place. This means staying organized and keeping clutter to a minimum. Use storage solutions to keep everything neat, and consider investing in furniture with built-in storage to maximize space.
Incorporate natural materials
Natural materials like wood, stone, and glass are perfect for minimalist modern interior design. They bring a sense of warmth and texture to your space without overwhelming the simplicity of your design. Look for furniture and décor made from natural materials to add visual interest to your home.
Incorporating minimalist design principles into your modern interior design is all about simplicity, purpose, and functionality. One can achieve this by getting in touch with a renowned interior design and build firm such as Flipspaces who can help you with the same.
By focusing on clean lines, neutral colors, and a sense of order, you can create a serene and inviting space that feels both modern and timeless. Whether you're redesigning your entire home or just one room, these tips will help you achieve the minimalist look you're after.

Beginner friendly/farmable PvE teams

Recommended progression: GB10 -> ToAN -> GB12 -> ToAH -> (DB11 ->) NB12 -> R5 and Rifts
Fast progression: GB12 -> (DB11 ->) NB12 -> BJ5 -> Tricaru DB12
Note that for NB12 a few violent sets (especially on twins) are making things a lot easier so before tackling Necropolis you might want to farm a little bit of DB11, it also gives you Guard runes for Tricaru.

• GB10: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, Lapis, Shannon/second awakened (2A) Kro
• Legacy GB10 teams typically include Belladeon, Bernard, or Darion. These units are outdated and can be skipped.
• GB12: Vero (L), Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, Shannon/Lapis/2A Naomi
• DB12: Verde (L), Fran, Loren, Sig, Elsharion or Verde (L), Vero, Fran, Loren, Spectra (2A)
• PB10: Verde (L), Colleen/Fran, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro, 2A Spectra/Yen/Pang. You can also use 2A Jultan to tank the boss (on multiple Will sets).
• SB10: Fran, Loren, 2A Kro, 2A Raoq, Ling Ling
• NB12: Lapis (L), Colleen/Fran, Loren, 2A Raoq, 2A Kro/Raoq (NB10 guide). Twins are a much better choice and should be used if possible. You can also directly use Tricaru.
• ToA(H): Fran (L), Lapis, Verde, Loren, Vero/2A Kro/2A Spectra. Use Tyron if you have him. 2A Sath/Thrain are good options if you want to go for a dot team, do not use Baretta as he's terribly outdated.
• R5: Front Line: Xiong Fei, Darion Back Line: Colleen, 2A Kro, Tesa, Theo/Xiao Lin/Belladeon
• R5 stat minimum: You need 25k HP and 1.5k DEF for FL units and 20k HP and 0.8-1k DEF for BL units. Healers and your cleanser should have 100% RES after lead.
• Rift unit options: Xiao Lin, Theomars, Fran, Colleen, and 2A Kro can be used in most of your rift teams. FL Mav/Bernard is good for Water rift and Lapis is good for Fire and Dark rifts. Twins are great in all rifts.

You still need appropriate rune quality and turn order! Do not expect to beat a dungeon just by having these units

Common speed teams

• R5 - BJ5: Colleen, Baleygr, Janssen, Dagora, Loren, lead unit (BJ5 guide)
  
• DB12 - Tricaru: Verde (L), 2A Icaru, 2A Icaru, 2A Icaru (guide (Note: DEF requirement is 3300)) (Cheatsheet) (Calculator)
  
• NB12 - Tricaru: Either add Astar or replace Verde with her (on vamp, same stats). Adding Astar and Lushen to clear waves first also works.
  
• GB12 - dots dots dots: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen (guide)
  
• PB10 - Tricaru: Kill towers first (usually L>R>B but some people reported R>L>B working better for them).
  
• SB10 - dots dots dots: 2A Sath, Mellia, Mellia, 2A Tatu, dot unit/Lushen
  

PvE accuracy requirements

Rifts need no ACC. R5 needs 15%. SB10 needs 25%. PB10 39%. ToA(H), GB10, and NB10 45%. DB10, GB12, NB12 and ToA Hell 55%. DB12 needs 65%.

General tips and answers to Frequently Asked Questions:

• NEVER feed non-farmable monsters! (you can feed dupes for skill ups)
• Save your devilmons! In general you do not want to give devilmon to 4* units, Sigmarus and Jeanne are the best early game candidates. Veromos does not need devilmon.
• Best summon stone targets: Tyron, Lushen, Shaina, Sabrina, Talia. For PvP Khmun, Skogul, Galleon.
• Check the events for free energy, mana, and other beneficial stuff. To find the current event pages use the button below the energy/mana counter in-game.
• Lapis can farm Faimon Hell on the free 6* level 15 vampire/revenge runes provided by the challenges. She should be your first 5* and probably 6* as well.
• Shield sets can reduce the HP/DEF requirements on other units and multiple shield sets will stack to form one larger total shield. Each set contributes a shield equal to 15% of the base HP of the monster they are equipped on.
• White artifacts from B2 are cheap to upgrade and can give you a massive stat boost early.
• Hall of Heroes (HoH) should be attempted as high as you can climb. Reps like Rica or Verad can help a lot. Mid/late game players can get 5 extra copies of the HoH monster using almighty scroll pieces after each floor at the small cost of 2000 guild points for each extra monster.
• Most nat 5*s are PvP exclusive and should be set aside in storage till you make some progress on PvE. Some exceptions are CC units like Rica for ToA, cleansers like Anavel for starter R5, and Perna for rifts.
• Dimensional hole energy should be spent as soon as possible, always try to stay under the energy cap (recharge rate: 1 per 2h). 2A Kro first, then Spectra or Raoq.

In recent years, white bread has been vilified as unhealthy and nutritionally deficient. Is it, however, really that bad for you? In this article, we'll look at white bread in greater detail and separate fact from fiction.
White bread is made with refined flour, which is devoid of bran and germ, leaving only the endosperm. As a result, white bread is lower in nutrients than whole wheat bread. It does, however, have some nutritional value, as it contains carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins.
Because of its high glycemic index, white bread has been accused of causing blood sugar spikes and crashes. This can be a concern for diabetics or those attempting to control their blood sugar levels. White bread's glycemic index can be reduced by pairing it with protein or fiber-rich foods like cheese or avocado.
White bread is a popular type of bread made from refined flour that has had the bran and germ removed during the manufacturing process. While white bread does not have the same nutritional profile as whole wheat bread, there are some advantages to eating it in moderation.
Here are a few potential advantages of eating white bread:

• White bread digests faster than whole wheat bread, providing a quick burst of energy that can be useful during intense exercise or as a quick snack.
• Because of its lower fibre content, white bread may be easier to digest for some people with digestive issues than whole wheat bread.
• White bread is versatile and can be used for a variety of dishes, including classic PB&J sandwiches, French toast, bread pudding, and more.
• Nutrient Fortification: To compensate for the loss of natural nutrients during processing, many commercial brands of white bread are fortified with additional nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.

While White Bread has some advantages, it is typically lower in fibre and other important nutrients when compared to whole wheat bread. White bread consumption may also be associated with negative health outcomes such as weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease.
If you must eat white bread, look for products made with high-quality, minimally processed ingredients and avoid those with added sugars, preservatives, or other additives. Incorporating a variety of whole grains, including whole wheat, into your diet can also help ensure that you get a variety of important nutrients to support your health and wellbeing.
Another issue with white bread is that it is low in fibre. Most of the fibre is removed during the refining process, which can cause constipation and digestive issues. Some brands of white bread, however, are now fiber-fortified, making them a better choice for those looking to increase their fibre intake.
It should also be noted that not all white bread is created equal. Some store-bought brands may contain sugars, preservatives, and other ingredients that reduce nutritional value. If you must eat white bread, read the label and look for products made with high-quality ingredients.
In conclusion, while white bread is less nutritious than whole wheat bread, it can still be part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation and combined with other nutritious foods. It's all about balance and making informed choices, just like with any other food.

Earlier today, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) put out a new report "outlining a vision for what is possible with the power of biotechnology and biomanufacturing, and R&D needs to achieve this ambitious vision". The report is long and can be read here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Bold-Goals-for-U.S.-Biotechnology-and-Biomanufacturing-Harnessing-Research-and-Development-To-Further-Societal-Goals-FINAL.pdf
Those statements in the report most relevant to $NWBO investors I've copied below. If you read between the lines, it almost hints that the FDA should go ahead and expeditiously approve cell therapies beyond CAR-T and CMS (Medicare/Medicaid) should reimburse them and that the government should go ahead and help educate the public and clinicians about their use....
Bold goals for the US bioeconomy include, for example.... Health: In 20 years, increase the manufacturing scale of cell-based therapies to expand access, decrease health inequities, and decrease the manufacturing cost of cell-based therapies 10-fold.
Theme 3, biomanufacturing of cell-based therapies, includes bold goals to expand the toolset of technologies used to create cell-based therapies to achieve high viability and targeted delivery at the time of patient administration, as well as expand access to cell-based therapies to decrease health inequities. This theme focuses on equitable access to next-generation therapy.
Goal 3.1: Increase Therapeutic Efficacy – In 5 years, expand the technologies used to develop cell-based therapies to achieve at least 75% cell viability in patients. Goal 3.2: Enable Scale-Up – In 20 years, increase the manufacturing scale of cell-based therapies to expand access, decrease health inequities, and decrease the manufacturing cost of cell-based therapies 10-fold.
R&D Needs
Harmonization and advancement toward these bold goals could be pursued in consultation with the agencies that support research into cell-based therapies (e.g., NIH), support biomanufacturing-capacity investments (e.g., BARDA), and approve cell-based therapies for clinical use (e.g., FDA) and reimburse patients for their use (e.g., CMS).
Harmonize methods and standards across cell-based therapy manufacturing facilities by cell types, reducing cost and wait time. The clinical-scale manufacturing of certain cell-based therapeutics is already in place but could benefit from coordination and regulatory insight*. • Develop modular, platform-engineered cell-based technologies* alongside patient-specific formulations*. •* Provide access to clinical-scale, cell-based manufacturing expertise as a national resource*. •* Test and de-risk new biomanufacturing practices for next-generation biotechnology products in commercial-quality manufacturing facilities.
Partner with clinicians and other hospital staff to create training materials to ensure equity of care across facilities and to consider equipment needs and assignment of clinical staff to patients receiving cell-based therapies*. •* Enhance public engagement for the acceptance of cell-based therapies, leveraging experience with existing cell-based therapies such as CAR-T cells*.*
Even the AI section mentions cell therapies:
Develop novel AI/ML methods to design therapeutics of every class (e.g., small molecules, biologics, peptides, and cell-based therapies*).*
They conclude by saying:
It will be important to seek patient and patient advocate perspectives through public private partnerships on the awareness and acceptance of novel cell-based therapies to develop implementation strategies that increase equity of access, relevant to Theme 3.
The writing is on the wall..., on the floor and everywhere else if you just look around.

Please, I NEED it for a personal project.

So recently I've wanted to try making the Pete-zza's Papa John's Clone Pizza on the pizza sub's sidebar, but I'm a little confused on how long to bake it and at what temp. I've also found two versions of this recipe on reddit, and I'm confused which is the actual recipe? Heres the link to the first one: https://www.reddit.com/Pizza/comments/10eg6k5/homemade_papa_johns_clone_pepperoni_pizza/
And here's the one i found on the sidebar of this sub: Pete-zza's Papa John's Clone Pizza (Source Calculator)
Note: You will need a Standard Home Oven for proper baking of this dough.
Ingredient Bakers % Grams Ounces Recommended Flour 100% 616 g 21.7 oz King Arthur Bread Flour Water 56% 345 g 12.2 oz Water Yeast or Starter 0.1400% 0.862 g 0.030 oz Instant Dry Yeast Salt 1.75% 10.78 g 0.38 oz Salt Oil/Lards/Shortening 7.00% 43.1 g 1.5 oz Vegetable Oil Sugar 4.00% 24.631 g 0.9 oz Sugar Totals 1040 g 36.68 oz The above ingredients will yield 4 doughballs of 260 grams each. Instructions from the forum thread:
Add water (at a temperature of 55 degrees F) to the mixer bowl of an electic stand mixer. Add the salt, yeast and sugar to the water and stir to fully dissolve, about one minute. Add the oil to the mixer bowl, followed by all of the flour. Use the mixer's flat beater attachment to combine all of the ingredients in the mixer bowl, at stispeed 1, for about a minute, or until the dough mass pulls away from the sides of the mixer bowl and collects around the flat beater. There should be no raw flour left in the bowl. Scrape the dough off of the flat beater (it should be shaggy and on the sticky side) and switch to the C-hook attachment. Knead the dough at stir speed, for about 2 minutes, or just until the dough gathered around the dough hook in a fairly cohesive, but still somewhat wet and sticky, mass.
Mix the dough for about 5-6 minutes at speed 2. Turn the dough out onto a cutting board and form into as many round balls as you plan to make into pizzas. Lightly oil each dough ball and place it in an oiled container with a cover (e.g., a 1-quart glass Pyrex bowl with plastic lid) and place the bowl in the refrigerator. Leave the dough in the refrigerator for five days. During the first two days, there should be little noticeable expansion of the dough. The dough will be optimal for use after about five days, but it could be used at after three days and up to eight days in the refrigerator.
Upon removal from the refrigerator, let the dough warm up at room temperature (about 80 degrees F) for about an hour. Open the dough ball to about 10”. Dock the dough with a dough docker. For maximum authenticity, make a cloned version of Papa John's Dustinator flour blend as follows: combine semolina flour, white flour, and soybean oil (a few few drops worked into the flours).
Hope someone can help coz i wanna try making it today❤️

I’m going to be focusing on this a lot more to provide a base for a fan work of this that’s coming up.
I hope you enjoy.

Memory Transcription Subject: Oros, Arxur Defector
Date[Standardized Human Time]: December 5, 2136
I smiled as the hatchlings ran around and claimed abandoned cells to be their rooms. It was so satisfyingly heartwarming to see my efforts to get the children a new life come to fruition.
As the children got settled in, some flying vehicles dropped in nearby, while other land vehicles drove in as well. I recognized that the building required some maintenance. These people were probably here to assist in this.
I then heard a bell ringing.
“All Arxur children! Please come outside for a moment! There is something we need to discuss!” I heard Captain Olivia shout through some sort of volume device in the courtyard.
In only mere moments, all of the hatchlings were outside as she had ordered. The larger hatchlings had even brought along the smaller hatchlings that did not yet understand speech.
I myself came outside to see what was going on.
“Alright everyone.” She spoke loud and clear. “As you all know, you came here to live new lives under the care of humanity. You are probably very hungry. Additionally, me and all the other humans would like to get to know you. So, we have a compromise. We call you up individually to tell us your name, and tell us something about yourself or what you like. You will then receive a free article of clothing making it easier to identify you. And, in addition to that…” she gestured to a soldier.
The soldier ran to one of the trucks and pulled out a small white box. He ran back and handed the box to the Captain. She opened it and made its contents visible to us.
Inside was a thick slab of warmed and seasoned red meat. It’s appearance and smell made every single one of the hatchlings begin to salivate. I myself was drooling over the morsel.
“…each of you will receive a fresh meal. Now, for example, would Minuli please come forth?” The captain finished. Minuli raced forward enthusiastically.
“What is your name?”
“Minuli.”
“It’s very nice to meet you Minuli. Would you like to tell me something about yourself?”
“I like drawing planets!”
The captain then snapped her fingers and a soldier went to another one of the vehicles. He pulled out an article of clothing depicting an entire solar system. He then tossed the clothing to the captain.
“Point your arms and head towards the sky, please.” Minuli complied, and the clothing was slipped on with her arms and head going through holes. The captain then passed the box of meat to her. “Here you go, Mini.”
“Thank you!” Mini shouted as she went off to enjoy her meal.
The line then continued, introducing new children, facts about them, and new clothes in rapid succession.
Barka was a young but bright female interested in rocks. She was given a gemstone necklace.
Jurra was another young female with an extreme love for aesthetics. She was given a very poofy and extravagant dress.
Kilo was a young male who loved the texture of venlil fleece. He was given a woolen scarf.
Tazka was a male with a fascination for colors. He was given a shirt with an intriguing pattern of various colors.
Then, up came a larger hatchling holding an especially young hatchling.
“Oh, and who might you two be?” Captain Olivia asked.
“My name is Kuno, and this is my little sister Saba!” The larger hatchling exclaimed.
the young one squeaked in agreement.
The captain’s expression seemed as though she was struggling to keep herself from smothering the both of them in hugs.
“Get me two blank white shirts, ASAP.” The captain commanded. A soldier complied. After retrieving the shirts, the captain wrote something on both of them.
She slipped one shirt onto Kuno. “Big brother…”
She then slipped the other shirt onto Saba. “… and little sister.”
She then passed them their meat and they went off.
An especially small hatchling came forth next, crawling on all fours. I remembered this hatching. I found him on the street, abandoned by his parents.
The captain crouched down to look at him in the eyes. “Do you have a name, little guy?”

“No. He was abandoned as a hatching.” I explained simply.
Captain Olivia then picked him up and presented him to the soldiers. “What does this little guy look like to you?”
After a couple seconds of silence, one soldier answered. “He looks like a ‘Timothy’ to me.”
“What would a ‘Timothy’ wear?” The captain asked.
The solder went and retrieved a button up shirt with a blue plaid pattern. The captain easily fitted it onto him.
“Absolutely handsome.” She commented before lightly nuzzling his snout.
My heart won’t be able to take this for much longer…
