*WARNING* Some people will view this as offensive, if you are sensitive in any way, do not bother to read this article. You have been warned!

Society

Definition – The community of people living in a particular country or region and having shared customs, laws, and organizations.”

Synonyms “population, civilization, the world at large, humankind, mankind, humanity.”

There you have it, what society actually means, is it really that simple? Of course it’s not, it’s more complicated because as you can see above, society actually stands for people and people nowadays don’t even live anymore. Yes, we are a bunch of zombies walking through the streets thinking “society today is wrong”. I’m thinking about it and you’re thinking about it, you might not be aware of it, you might not want to admit it or you’re part of that 1% of the world that controls this whole messed up society, we are wrong! Why is nobody talking about it? Sure, there are some people who are actually trying to make a difference but who is listening to them? You might say you are listening to them, but do you do something about it? No, you don’t, you agree with them and then go back to the life society wants you to have. When is the last time you did something you wanted? I’m not talking about that vacation you took with your family after working for years to raise some money to afford it. You can’t remember, do you? Face it, every since you started thinking consciously you either wanted things or money… to buy things.

Vaccines, parents and education

every-vaccination-is-a-little-victoryLet’s think about before you started having any thoughts whatsoever. Yes, I’m talking about when you were a baby. More women nowadays are more concerned about their career than they are about raising their kids right. Everybody complains about the new generation(heck, even I do that) and blames it on education, but I’m going to talk about that later. We are blaming kids for their behavior without looking at their parents. You might consider you are the greatest mom on earth just because you put aside your career for a few months to give birth to a healthy child and then you refuse vaccination. What is wrong with you? While you were searching how to feed your baby, you stumbled upon an article with the following title: “10 reasons why you shouldn’t vaccinate your baby”. Reasons like autism, poor health or accuses that pharmacists put chemicals and poison in vaccines. Do you actually know what a Vaccine means? I will provide you with the definition: “A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism, and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body’s immune system to recognize the agent as foreign, destroy it, and “remember” it, so that the immune system can more easily recognize and destroy any of these microorganisms that it later encounters.” The definition is clear enough, throughout the years, scientists made vaccines to train our immune-systems before we actually get ill. Disease like: measles, whooping cough and poliomyelitis were completely eradicated for a while until recently when mothers decided to listen to the internet instead of their doctors and the illnesses have resurfaced. Seriously? Is that what you want for your kid. And again, were you vaccinated? Are you healthy? oh, look you’re still walking and talking s**t. It’s like we are designed to make crippled babies. I understand we are over-populated but couldn’t we at least give them a chance? They are, after all our future!

1022lettersPARENT-superJumboHow come our parents let us play outside when we didn’t have cell phones? Weren’t they afraid we will get lost or become junkies? Didn’t the think of us getting into an accident or being kidnapped? They probably did think about all these things but at the same time they wanted us to be happy and make real life friends and just be normal kids. When we were little we didn’t appreciate stuff as much as play time. Nowadays parents buy stuff for their children to shut them up. The main reason why parents buy everything for their children is because they want to give them what they never had. Are you sure that is such a good idea? Not listening to your kid, giving him everything he wants makes him so selfish and self-absorbed that he doesn’t want to talk to you anymore and then you are wondering stuff like: “What have I done wrong?” “Why is she hiding things from me?” “When did he become a junkie?”. Your answer to the lack of communication you have with your children is to spy and control them. Who could blame you? Even manufacturers today make things with Parenting Control, phones can be tracked through GPS, heck, you are even searching online “How to hack my kids Facebook account”. Can’t you see that this s**t is only building up the wall you have between you and your child?

000tuitiotn“We don’t need no education” – Double negation.. does that say anything to you? To me, it does. I am not against education, I am just against our educational system. Do you even remember what you were taught in high-school? Or are you still working hard to pay of your debts from college? Maybe I cannot explain exactly why the education system fails us, but you can see it and you ignore it. I don’t have a solution that can revolutionize the educational system but maybe, if we would raise our children properly they would be curious and actually want to learn new things at school. I am not saying we should all grow up based on the same educational system because cultural difference will interfere, but at the same time they should find some balance between every country’s system. I don’t find it equal that in America, young adults are buried in debt because of college tuition and in some northern countries getting a college degree is free. Yes, education is free in countries like Finland for example but have you ever tried to get admitted there? Just for the sake of it on average, thousands of international applicants compete for 25-30 places yet who is actually admitted? Half of those international spots are magically occupied by Finnish people and the other half go to people from countries with affiliated universities. I don’t even want to start about the education in Asia, their culture is based on working and studying your whole life to make your country proud. In my opinion all the educational systems in the world are wrong, there is not even one remotely close to what society actually needs. Will our countries ever be able to work together, to create a reliable educational system? I lost all hope!

Maybe you were vaccinated and fortunate enough to be healthy, maybe you tried talking to your controlling parents and they gave you some space, you even might have studied during high school and finished a college of your choosing. You are living the dream! Or at least, you think you are. Independence sounds nice, but in reality you have no money, no job and society just messed you up. You’ll get a job you hate to get some money, to be able to live. Will you enjoy living? If making enough money to consume, to buy things, to raise a family, to go back to making more money to keep everything you built, is living… well then, congratulations, You Are Alive!

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

How can you determine the realistic value of your property?

As a homeowner in the UK, determining the realistic value of your property is a critical step whether you plan to sell, refinance, or are merely curious about its current market worth. The UK property market is dynamic, influenced by various factors that can make it challenging to accurately assess the value of your home. However, seeking the expertise of an estate agent and obtaining a free property valuation can provide valuable insights to help you make informed decisions about your property. In this article, we will explore effective strategies, with input from UK estate agents, that can assist you in determining the realistic value of your property.

  1. Engage a Reputable Estate Agent

One of the most reliable ways to determine the realistic value of your property is by enlisting the services of a reputable estate agent. Estate agents possess in-depth knowledge of the local property market and have access to data on recent property sales and market trends. By conducting a thorough property valuation, estate agents can provide you with a comprehensive assessment of your property’s worth, considering factors such as location, size, condition, and comparable properties in the area. Moreover, estate agents can offer expert advice on how to maximize the value of your property before putting it on the market.

  1. Research Recent Comparable Sales

In addition to consulting an estate agent, conducting your research on recent comparable sales in your neighborhood is essential. Look for properties with similar characteristics to yours, such as size, layout, and condition, that have been sold recently. Analyzing the sale prices of these comparable properties can give you a good indication of the current market value of your home.

  1. Utilize Online Property Valuation Tools

Various online property valuation tools are available that can provide you with a preliminary estimate of your property’s value. While these tools can be helpful as a starting point, they may not consider all the nuances that an estate agent would when conducting an in-depth valuation. Therefore, use them with caution and as a supplementary resource to the valuation provided by an estate agent.

  1. Consider Property Improvements and Upgrades

Take into account any improvements or upgrades you have made to your property over the years. Renovations, modernized fittings, and energy-efficient installations can significantly enhance the value of your home. Be sure to mention these upgrades during the property valuation process, as they can positively impact the final valuation.

  1. Evaluate the Local Property Market

The state of the local property market is a crucial factor in determining the value of your property. Keep abreast of property market reports and trends in your area. Factors such as supply and demand, economic conditions, and government policies can all influence property prices.

  1. Factor in Location and Amenities

Location plays a pivotal role in property valuation. Consider the proximity of your property to schools, parks, public transportation, shopping centers, and other essential amenities. Properties located in desirable areas with access to various amenities tend to command higher values.

  1. Analyze Current Market Conditions

The current market conditions, whether it’s a buyer’s market or a seller’s market, can significantly impact property values. In a buyer’s market, where demand is low, properties may take longer to sell, and prices may be more negotiable. Conversely, in a seller’s market with high demand and limited inventory, properties can attract higher values.

  1. Take into Account Unique Features

If your property boasts unique features or characteristics that set it apart from others in the area, ensure they are considered during the valuation. Special features, such as a garden, a view, or historical significance, can add significant value to your property.

Conclusion

Determining the realistic value of your property in the UK is a multifaceted process that requires careful consideration of various factors. Seeking the expertise of a reputable estate agent and obtaining a free property valuation are fundamental steps to obtaining an accurate assessment. Additionally, conducting your research on recent comparable sales, considering property improvements, evaluating the local property market, and factoring in location and amenities all contribute to a comprehensive property valuation. By combining these strategies, you can gain a better understanding of your property’s worth and make informed decisions regarding its future.

How Does The Size And Weight Of Furniture Affect Its Packaging?

Furniture packaging is crucial in ensuring its safe transportation from the manufacturer to the customer’s doorstep. The size and weight of furniture significantly impact the packaging process and the materials used to protect the item during transit. In this article, we will explore how the size and weight of furniture affect its packaging.

Size Considerations

Dimensional Constraints

The size of the furniture is a critical factor in determining the packaging design. Large furniture pieces, such as sofas, beds, or dining tables, may require custom packaging to accommodate their dimensions. The packaging must be designed to fit the furniture snugly without excessive empty spaces to prevent movement and potential damage during transit. Custom packaging helps ensure the furniture remains securely in place throughout its journey.

Disassembly Options

For furniture with substantial dimensions, disassembly options are often provided. This allows the furniture to be packed in smaller, more manageable components. Disassembling the furniture reduces the overall size, making it easier to package and transport. Manufacturers may include detailed instructions and necessary tools in the packaging to assist customers in reassembling the furniture at its destination.

Compactness and Efficiency

The size of furniture can also impact the efficiency of packaging. Manufacturers strive to optimize the packaging design to minimize wasted space and maximize efficiency. This can involve nesting smaller components within larger ones or utilizing modular packaging techniques for furniture in multiple pieces or sections. By ensuring the packaging is compact and efficient, manufacturers can reduce shipping costs and minimize the environmental impact of packaging materials. Find out the Article furniture packaging and how to choose the best furniture for you. 

 

Weight Considerations

Structural Integrity

The weight of furniture is a crucial factor in determining the level of structural integrity required in its packaging. Heavier furniture items, such as solid wood tables or large cabinets, require robust packaging materials to withstand weight and prevent breakage or deformation. Reinforced cardboard, thick foam inserts, and additional support structures commonly provide strength and stability.

Handling and Transportation

The weight of furniture also impacts the logistics and handling process during transportation. Heavy furniture may require specialized handling equipment, such as forklifts or pallet jacks, to safely load and unload the items. Packaging materials must be designed to withstand the weight and distribute it evenly to prevent damage to the furniture or injuries to the handlers. Clear labeling indicating the weight of the package helps ensure proper handling procedures are followed.

Shipping Costs

The weight of furniture can significantly affect shipping costs. Shipping companies often calculate rates based on the weight and dimensions of the package. Heavier furniture may incur higher shipping charges due to increased handling requirements and the need for additional packaging materials to ensure protection during transit. Manufacturers and retailers must consider these factors when determining the pricing and shipping options for their furniture items.

 

Conclusion

The furniture’s size and weight significantly impact its packaging design and materials used. Manufacturers carefully consider these factors to provide secure and efficient packaging solutions. Custom packaging may be employed for larger furniture items, allowing for a snug fit and minimizing movement during transit. Disassembly options make packaging more manageable and efficient. The furniture’s weight influences the packaging’s structural integrity and requires proper handling and transportation procedures. It also affects shipping costs and logistics considerations.

Tips on how to do an excellent Baby Gender Reveal Party:

  1. Send your invitations

Reaching out to friends and family with invitations is essential for them to be aware of your party. Purchasing pre-made or printable designs online, or crafting personalized ones provides plenty of options. Doing so at least weeks in advance will mean they have all the information needed regarding date, time and location – giving everyone enough notice to attend!

 

  1. Plan the decorations 

Some of the most used decorations for gender reveal parties include balloons, chairs, steamers, tables, and banners. In fact, blue and pink decorations are obvious at most events. You can also match the food with pink and blue dyes.

 

  1. Pick some activities 

Certain activities can make your gender party more interesting as well as enjoyable. Try hosting guessing games, matching games related to your theme, time capsule challenges and even diaper changing on dolls for fun. These are some great options to ensure all your guests enjoy special memories at this event!   

 

  1. Choose a Special Reveal Plan

Discover the gender of your baby in a memorable way with these fun and exciting options; From balloon box to pass the package and even gender reveal cake, you’ll have plenty of ways to show off that much anticipated moment. No matter which method you choose, it’s sure to add more drama and excitement to your special event!
