Traditional hair removals treatments such as waxing, plucking, and shaving are unpleasant and only effective in the short term. Laser hair removal is a cutting-edge technique that removes the need for waxing, shaving, and tweezing to remove undesirable dark unwanted face and body hair. Laser hair removal has also lowered the likelihood of discomfort and inflammation caused by shaving, waxing, and other hair removal treatments, and the benefits are also long-lasting.

Hi 17F noob here. Im having my term break right now and am feeling a little too free at home. I need HELP- Im currently studying in a Media school and hoping to be diving into the social service sector in the future (Hopefully to study social work? Psych? Counselling? ). Last year, I became super passionate about mental health causes and hence decided volunteer my time during my holiday while taking up a part time job to help with some video editing and administrative work.
The thing is, Although I no longer continue as a part timer, I have been volunteering in 2 different volunteer Mental Health organisations and have helped out for some of their events/ social media stuff with whatever limited soft skills I can offer. I also want to say that I am good with whatever I am doing and am grateful with the opportunity given by these organisations despite the fact that I just had my O levels last year and do not have any certification to prove I’m good with for example (Graphic designing, video editing and planning.) Yet I was still asked to come onboard with the teams.
However, only recently I realised how my progression with my skills are getting a little too slow? Although I love to volunteer, I don’t feel like I have upskilled.
Which makes me wonder if I should transition trying out working again? And especially I know that I am low key running out of cash from my previous part time.
I wished that Myskillsfuture allowed people like me to go for courses I like so that I can use the skills I learn to get into different organisations. IDK, I don’t feel like I also know the working world yet. And that’s beside my point cause I’m afraid that i wont be able to earn money in the future cause the last time i worked in a bookshop, the auntie scolded me REAL bad and I quit after 2 days. TRUAMA. I think my confidence shattered from that day. :/
I also decided to search for community internships but most of them do require a dip :/ ? What if I’m studying a diploma that is somehow related- would it be good for an internship?
Should I continue to stay at my volunteering organisations? Or should i wait for more opportunities to come my way? What is CV or Resume or Portfolio? How can I work on it?
Any kind person here want to guide this very lost child? Dm mee :’d.

I've grown since 20 years and I find that intense UV and sunlight gives buds with more cellulose and coarse plant material. My outdoors buds are darker, coarser, less soft, and lack aroma, compared to indoors. I've tried hazes, maroc, PPP, skittlez, cookies, exodus, and a dozen others.
The only exception was a magical unlabeled variety that I was sent by surprise, all 5 seeds made lime-green buds with a very special and gentle aroma that didn't degrade from UV and caused everyone to rave about it and want more.
Do you have some advice to produce fluffy aromatic buds in intense sunlight?

Hawaii's Mount Kilauea erupted again on Wednesday, mainly releasing volcanic gas.
Eruption details: The eruption began at 4 * By 3 p.m., initial lava flows were between 13 and 30 feet high and covered the crater floor, an area of about 370 acres.
Concerns and hazards: Large amounts of volcanic gas, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide, are released. * This may cause health hazards for people, livestock, and damage crops from volcanic smog. * Other hazards include wall instability, ground cracking, rockfalls, and "Pele's hair" - glass fibers formed from gas bubbles becoming airborne.
Current status: A code red alert has been issued in the area, and a live stream of the eruption is available for viewing.

Atomic Wallet Was Attacked or There Were Security Issues in the Historical Download Version
23pds, the Chief Information Security Officer of SlowMist, tweeted that the official download site and sha256sum verification site of Atomic Wallet were urgently taken offline from Cloudflare. This suggests a potential security issue in the process of downloading historical versions. Furthermore, 23pds warned that phishing accounts are now actively scamming users amid the heated Atomic Wallet incident, using Scamming Methods. Users are advised to be cautious of financial risks. Earlier reports indicated that the total amount stolen from Atomic Wallet has exceeded $35 million.
Bitcoin Trend
From the daily chart of BTC, there appears to be a converging triangle pattern, indicating a potential breakout. As long as the support level within the triangle pattern, around $26,500, holds, the situation remains relatively stable. However, if the price falls below this support level, it could lead to a rectangular consolidation pattern. Without breaking below the support level, the overall BTC market is oscillating within the range of $27,500 to $26,000.

Senator Elizabeth Warren's recent remarks on cryptocurrency's role in fentanyl drug transactions have stirred up a great deal of debate. She called for her bill, the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act, to combat money laundering and to cut off illegal drug suppliers from using cryptocurrencies. With the increasing prevalence of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, which cause over 150 deaths a day in the US, Warren's concern is understandable. However, is her focus on crypto's role in these transactions overly simplified or even misplaced?
In her congressional hearing, Warren presented figures from research firm Elliptic showing that 90 Chinese suppliers sold enough precursor drugs in exchange for crypto to produce $54 billion worth of fentanyl pills, a significant figure. Yet, a recent opinion piece by Daniel Kuhn contests the validity of Sen. Warren's argument, suggesting that it lacks perspective.
Chainalysis and Elliptic, renowned blockchain analytic firms, have indeed found that less than 1% of total crypto transactions are related to crime. In context, $37.8 million worth of crypto was sent to drug manufacturers in China since 2018, a figure that pales compared to the total value of chemical exports from China, which surpassed $100 billion in 2021. This statistical dissonance suggests that crypto's contribution to the global drug trade might be overemphasized by Senator Warren.
Furthermore, Kuhn argues that a complete ban on crypto wouldn't necessarily solve the problem, as illicit actors would likely shift to different payment methods. The real issue might be the rise in internet usage, which has not only boosted online markets but also online crime. Instead of focusing solely on crypto, it might be more beneficial to address the larger issue of internet crime and to develop more sophisticated digital solutions and regulations.
Moreover, while it's true that certain dark corners of the internet exploit crypto's potential for crime, this doesn't represent the entirety of the crypto industry. Crypto has been instrumental in creating decentralized financial systems and empowering individuals globally. As Kuhn points out, honesty about the industry and the limitations of technology is the best thing crypto can do for itself.
In conclusion, Senator Warren's warnings should not be dismissed. It's crucial to tackle the misuse of crypto in illicit drug trade. However, a more nuanced understanding of the issues at hand is required. Regulating crypto might be a part of the solution, but demonizing it as the primary cause oversimplifies the complex problem of internet crime. As the debate continues, let's remember to take a broader view and consider the technological, sociological, and economic aspects of the situation.

I hate fighting. I struggle to cope with a fight in a healthy way. I'm working on this as my go to reaction is to shut down or remove myself from the fight. Again I'm working on this.
I cook. Every. God damn. Night.
Im a good cook and i like cooking. What I don't like is the expectation I must cook every night. If I don't cook, we go hungry. My fella offered to cook dinner the other day as he was home before me. He often is.
I arrived home so so glad I didn't have to cook as i was feeling burnt out and frazzled by the work day. He. Hadn't. Cooked. Why? Because he didn't have the pork chops in he wanted to cook. He didn't make something diffrent. He didn't go to the shop to buy pork chops. He just didn't do anything. He just laid on the sofa.
I could feel my blood boiling so I quickly said "I'm going to lay down. I'm not feeling good" And marched up stairs and took an hour nap. I made myself eggs on toast and he stomped off to bed early. Him "I'm going to bed" Me "OK. Are you angry?" Him "yes" Me "at me?" Him. "No. Just in general" Me. "OK night. Love you" Him "love you too"
He works more than me. He's on 45 hours where I'm a 37.5 hours. So I make lunches and dinner most nights.
I want to shout at him. But this is not healthy or priductive. I want to go on cooking strike. Again not healthy or productive. It will just cause fights.
TL;DR - I need a healthy way to tell my other half to act like a god damn adult, and cook dinner. To realised I too need taking care of from time to time and I'm not his mum.
God im so angry.

TW: references to sa I’m sorry if the format is off, this is my first post.
Context: I dated my ex (who we’ll call Sydney) for nearly three years. During my relationship with Sydney, I found out she cheated three different times. Each time we talked through it and she seemed genuinely sorry, so I forgave her and we moved on. My logic was that we were young and mistakes are bound to happen, but in honesty it did hurt my trust. (Important later) Our relationship was a secret because of homophobia within our families, so we decided not to tell anyone to remain safe. We officially ended our relationship fall of 2022 on good terms. We kept talking about dating again, especially after New Years. But she wanted to sort herself out first. We remained very good friends. Our mutual friend (Emma) had been engaged to her fiancé (Fred) for about five years.
Timeline: • During the spring of 2023, I noticed Sydney pulling away more from me. We had gotten in an argument about my vaping habits, so I chalked it up to her being uncomfortable around me when I’m on drugs or drinking (which was often). • I didn’t have many friends besides Sydney so around mid march, I started getting pretty close to Emma and Fred and then we started hanging out on a regular basis. Whereas Sydney and I had gone from hanging out all day together to her barely acknowledging me. • Sometime before April 20th, Sydney worked a shift with me and I saw her giggling with Fred for a long while. I will say I got jealous and ignored her for that whole shift. There were more indicators that she was spending more time with him after work, which had confused me because she had always said she hated how Fred would treat Emma and she said she always disliked him. • Then on April 24th I saw her location that she was at the hospital. I asked her why she was there, she said it was a private matter she wasn’t comfortable sharing. I was concerned and my gut told me something was wrong, but I didn’t push it. • On April 25th, she later alluded that it was mental health related. (Honestly, this is when I thought she was either SA’d or she was hurt) • On May 17th, Emma sat me down and told me that Fred broke up with her on April 20th. We cried together. • May 25th, Sydney and I pretty much stopped talking due to growing tenseness. She had grown indifferent on her side and I had been consistently pissed off on mine.
The problem: Two days ago Emma called me in near tears and she told me that Fred said he and Sydney made out and that’s basically why Fred broke up with Emma. Tonight, I confronted Sydney about this quite aggressively. She is out of state right now, so it all happened over text. I had accused her of lying to me about why she pulled away and I accused her of a lot of things. I’m not proud of the way it went down. She then informed me that it wasn’t her idea at first and that I should be aware that guys force girls into things sometimes. She told me she went along with it because she panicked. I asked her about the hospital trip and she said it was to get tested. This all has happened to me personally so I know how much of an asshole I was by accusing her without asking her side first. I had even seen and noticed the signs, but my blind jealous anger stopped me from putting them all together. She admitted to flirting a bit, and she admitted to acting shitty, but never said she wanted the other stuff.
I’m really at a loss about what I can do to make it right. I don’t deserve her friendship but it hurts me to think that I didn’t believe her above everyone else. Is there any way at all I can salvage our friendship? Is there anything I can say? Or have I completely messed it all up? I’ve texted her and called her apologising and we talked briefly, but she’s not acknowledging it anymore. I don’t know if I should let it rest and wait for her to text me again, or try to talk to her now.
Tl;dr I falsely accused my best friend/ex gf of causing my friend’s to call off their engagement. In reality she was taken advantage of.

My PC randomly restarts when playing games. I’ve been seeing some other reddit posts with the same sort of problem and tried some of the solutions in the comments, but nothing seems to work.
At this point I don’t even really want to try more things and just find a way to locate what is causing it in the first place, since a PC randomly restarting could be caused by pretty much anything and I’d still be trying solutions in a couple weeks.
I am running windows 11 and event viewer doesn’t really give me anything. Are there any programs (windows 11 built-in preferably) that could help me identify the problem like crash logs or monitoring programs that identify oddities in system performance?

A big theme in the first season is that Klaus is his own worst enemy and is, in Cami’s words, “the architect of [his] own unhappiness”. But if you look at the series as a whole most of the villains weren’t even caused by Klaus.
In Season 1 the biggest villains were the resurrected witches Papa Tunde, Genevieve and Celeste, only one of whom was made an enemy by Klaus. Papa Tunde was already out to get Klaus because of Marcel, Genevieve became an enemy because of Rebekah, and Celeste was murdered because of Klaus’ antics. The Guerrera wolves are also an enemy that Marcel made (Klaus allied with them in 1919).
In Season 2 the main baddies are Esther, Mikael and Dahlia, people who predate Klaus and weren’t made enemies by his actions (even Dahlia is only a villain because of what Mikael and Esther did).
Season 3, the Trinity and The Strix are the main baddies, and all were made so because of Elijah. Lucien Tristan and Aurora became an enemy because of Elijah’s compulsion, and The Strix quite literally exists because of Elijah. Lucien is a grey area in this regard, granted, because he hates Klaus because he “stole his girl”, however any animosity between them as a result of this seemed to have cleared up by Lucien becoming a vampire. The end of the season sees Klaus’ many sires come to take revenge, but they’re only a threat because of Marcel, who was made an enemy by Elijah.
Season 4 has a baddy that predates The Originals by centuries, and only exists to gain more power.
In Season 5 the vampire nazis hate Klaus because, well, they always were. He’s a hybrid, someone deemed “impure” for reasons outside his control.
What do you guys think? Is my argument “Hollow” or am I making a point here?

For background, I'm a 15+ HR professional. Started off as an HR Generalist, worked my way up to an HRBP, then went back to school to get a Masters in I/O Psychology (finished this past August), now I'm an HR Consultant and my job "strongly encourages" either SPHR or SHRM certs for all consultants. Attempted the SPHR 10 years ago and failed. But, admittedly, didn't do a bunch of studying and wasn't surprised by the result.
My organization offers a public (virtual) PHSPHR Certification Exam Prep Course using the HRCP resources and attendees get them as part of the course cost. Because I worked there I got it all for free. It was a 12-week course, 3 hours per week and each course was delivered by a specialist in that HR area who covered the various units of the SPHR exam. They mostly walked through the HRCP prep materials, section by section, and sometimes offered additional context. So, if reading is your jams, this may feel useless. For me, it was helpful because I have trouble learning by reading, I just won't do it on my own. Having the weekly walk throughs, ensured that I at least scanned the major parts of each unit and kept me long-term focused.
As part of the course prep materials we got pre-printed flashcards for each unit. After that week's class, I'd go through those flashcards, noting which concepts I knew and which ones were hazy. I'd use the book's index to find the term, then read through the corresponding section in the HRCP unit book, and then add notes or context to the flashcard to help me remember the concept. Note: The training materials sometimes mismatched with glossary terms, flashcards, or test questions. Most of the time it was insignificant, but sometimes it became frustrating and confusing. I assume depends on the printing editions.
The course prep class also got access to the HRCP practice tests. They have a few small pre-tests, Unit tests, and then 3 larger all unit tests. I'd take the Unit tests each week as I was going through the courses week-by-week.
I scheduled my exam to be 2 weeks after training course, cause I wanted some time to study but not too much time that I'd get lazy and forget. In the past two weeks, I’ve been taking the larger HRCP practice tests each day and going over the portions I got wrong. Paying attention to sections/units that I was reliably incorrect. I got very disconcerted taking the HRCP practice tests because I was scoring in the mid-60s. In fact, of others saying the HRCP materials and test seemed harder or too much to learn. So, at first I felt disconcerted about how I’d do on the test, but it may be that HRCP practice tests are just harder. In retrospect, the HRCP questions seemed way more specific than the actual SPHR. Also, many of the answer choices in HRCP seemed tricky to sus out, whereas they were a bit easier in the SPHR, in my opinion. However, in all, I think the HRCP tests really helped me getting more comfortable with the testing format.
Biggest recommendation (for the SPHR) if you're going to use HRCP materials and practice tests, focus on Unit 1. Take more tests in Unit 1 cause there are more questions on the exam. And when in doubt on a question on how to convince executives, lean towards anything having to do with “business outcomes” or “ROI.” Just trust me.
TLDR: Used a free HRCP course, HRCP materials, and HRCP practice tests to pass the SPHR. Would recommend even though HRCP method seemed harder than the actual SPHR exam.

Theory of the Week

Why is Rhombulus the unfavorite? I think it's mainly to do with his temperament and actions.
Rhombulus represents 'warfare' within the Realm of Magic. Functionally, that means he's the 'aggressive, frontline warrior' trope. Unfortunately, that also means he has a tendency to rush into things and fight them, even if that's not the best strategy. He encouraged Moon to go to war, even though others warned that she and the kingdom weren't prepared for such (Moon the Undaunted). It also meant he acted on his 'gut' rather than logic or reasoning when imprisoning people who might be causing 'the fritz' (Crystal Clear).
In terms of dealing with Rhombulus on a personal level, even though he has a gentler side, his headstrong nature wins out, and he usually resorts to solving problems with his fists or crystal powers (multiple meetings devolved into crystal wars - Page Turner, Junkin Janna). Glossaryck himself tends to avoid 'politics' and outright fighting (he had a poor relationship with Solaria, as she wrote in her journals), so given all this, I can understand why more level-headed folk have difficulty dealing with him.
In the end, Rhombulus sided with the status quo, which was ultimately hurting Mewni and would have come around to the MHC sooner or later. When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.

Hello, first of all I want to say thank you so much for all the love and kindness from so many people all over the world. This really shows that there are many more good people in this world than bad ones and thank you so much for all the advices you have given me. It surely helped me a lot.
You guys have pointed out many important things in the comments and I am here to answer all of those.
I know a lot of you guys absolutely hate my husband and I can fully understand why. I would have had the same reaction if I was in your shoes. You guys have asked why I think my husband is amazing. Well, maybe amazing is a bit of an overstatement. But I still believe he is a good person. He has always tried to be there for my kids. He is very kind, innocent and humble, and always thinks about everyone. And he personally has never hurt me or my kids. It's just that he is extremely weak when it comes to his mother. Very very weak. He just can't separate himself from his mother. It's like he is entangled deep inside his mother's illicit web of lies and scrutiny. His situation is extremely strange to understand. Even I can't. It's not like he loves his mother too much that he can't see through her veil of lies. He often says to me how terrible she is to treat me like this. That she is trying to wreck our family. But he also says, that he can't leave her. He just can't do it. He is just too weak to stand up for his family in front of MIL. Even if sometimes he tries to stand up to her, my MIL would start crying and guilt trapping him, saying stuff like how he is being a bad son, and that he doesnt love his mama. And that he is disrespecting his own blood for some other woman. And he would then immediately back off.
You won't believe it, but a few years back my husband got a massive promotion. It came with a massive salary, and his dream work. But we had to move to a big city for this. He was extremely excited, and so was me and our kids. But my MIL said that she won't leave this house. She started crying (again), saying how she can't survive without him and to not leave her alone. And guess what my husband did next. He refused the promotion. I was extremely devastated, as it was a lot of money which would have helped our family and our children's college education. Not to mention how my husband always said it was his dream job. But MIL won again.
Let me tell you my husband is scared of me leaving him. He cannot function at all without me. He can't cook, doesn't clean or do any household chores. I do all the job including tutoring my kids. He only does the grocery shopping from time to time. My husband sometimes jokingly says that if I ever leave him this entire house will fall apart, and that he will have to hire 10 guys to do the job I do for this family.
I saw a few of you have said that maybe my MIL was abused during her marriage. Let me tell you, you are 100% wrong. My MIL never lived with her own MIL , and practically forced my FIL to get a separate house for her. I have heard from my neigbours and relatives that my FIL was an incredible human being. Extremely kind, innocent, humble, loved and cared for everyone, and never so much as raised his voice on anyone. He even paid for so many of his nephew and nieces college education without ever asking for anything in return. I never got to meet him as he died 3 years before my marriage. But my relatives would say how my MIL practically dominated over my innocent FIL and their marriage, so much so that he couldn't even do anything without taking her permission. My FIL's sister told me how my MIL practically destroyed my FIL. I have realized my MIL is just a narcissist who likes to assert dominace over other people.
Also, another thing, my neighbours and all my relatives absolutely hate my MIL and her attitude. But they love me a lot. For every occasion me, my husband and my kids are always graciously invited. Even my son's girlfriend is invited sometimes. But she isn't. I once asked them why. They said how my MIL has been a raging bitch her whole life and that they are tired of her, and don't want her negativity and narcissism in their happy occasions.
Let me tell you another thing, if we kick my MIL out of the house, she really doesn't have anywhere else to go. None of our relatives like her. And her precious daughter's (my SIL) family doesn't like her either. Especially my BIL. My BIL is like an older brother to me and has always treated me like his sister. He has seen the abuse I have faced from my MIL and he absolutely despise her. So yeah she can't even go live anywhere else if we kick her out. It's crazy to think that she tries to destroy the only house and family where she is allowed to live and given so much respect. And now she is not even allowed here. Karma's a bitch.
I know a lot of you guys are concerned for my kids and rightfully so. And I thank you for all the advices. I know I should have taken firmer steps , but I was absolutely helpless. I was kind of always told to compromise and just put up with it. And don't worry my kids are fine. They know very well , even my 11 year old daughter that what MIL did to me and to this family is absolutely wrong and disgusting.And I have taught them to always stand up for themselves and to never let anyone walk over them. And they are really smart kids so don't worry they will be fine.
Although, I am a little bit concerned for my son. He has developed a temper. I will tell you why. A few years ago, I received a call from his friend telling me that my son has beaten the hell out of a kid in his class. He practically broken his tooth off. I came to know that the kid had said something jokingly about me and my son practically went full rage mode on him. When I asked around his friends regarding this, I realised that it wasn't even anything serious. It's just guys horsing around, talking about each other's mother's. You know kind of like the yo mama jokes on the internet. Nothing serious. Just typical guy stuff. His friends said how they always used to make this kind of jokes, including my son. But this time he was different. They also said how my son has developed a temper and gets irritated very quickly. They are very concerned about him. Thankfully his friends convinced the kid to not press charges against my son.
I wanted to get to the middle of this. So one day when no one else was home i sat down my son and asked him to open up to me and tell me why he did what he did. Initially he was hesitant. But after convincing him for a bit he broke down crying saying, how he always witnessed the abuse and neglect I faced in the house. And that he hated himself for not being able to protect me and keep me safe. I realised that he has now subconsciously became very vulnerable and protective of me. I told him that I appreciate the concern but violence is not the answer and that's not how I raised him. He said to me that he hated beating up that kid. I made him promise me that he will never do anything like this ever again. He told me that he also hated that his father didn't protect me and now he has developed an absolute hatred towards his dad. I am extremely concerned about this, i don't want him to hate his own father. I told him it's my job to protect him not the other way around. Although I am proud that he noticed. But I am definitely getting him into therapy once he finishes college. But don't worry guys he is getting better. Also my son studies in a really good college. He has told me that once he finishes college and get a job he will buy a nice apartment and me and her sister can come live with him. I told him that I would absolutely love that.
About the Ultimatum :- So when I gave my husband the ultimatum he got extremely sad. He told me countless times to change my mind. He even told me to just put up with my MIL until she dies ( which could be in 10 , 20 years or more). But this time I didn't budge. I have told him that I waited 21 years for him to take initiative, but he didn't. So now it's time for me to put my foot down for the sake of my children. I have told him that I will take my kids and go to my parents' house if he doesn't fullfill the ultimatum. He obviously doesn't want that as he can't function without me.
My son lives in a different state for college but he has come home recently due to the summer vacation. One afternoon me and my husband were arguing about this ultimatum, he told me that it's really difficult for him to choose like this. My son heard this and suddenly barged into the room and started yelling at his dad. Practically shouting. He called him a worthless, spineless moron who can't protect his wife and his family. He said and I quote, 'You are an absolute weak and pathetic man, you don't have the balls to protect your wife, who does everything for you. You don't have the guts to protect your family , you are the kind of person who should have never became a husband or a parent'. At this point my heart was breaking , I didn't want my son and his dad's relationship to break like that. Not to mention my husband was absolutely scared of him. He is 5'6" and my son is 6'2"(he gets the height from my side of the family). Now, my husband has finally agreed to buy an apartment. I told him that I would take my kids and live there. To which my son looked at me (he was still fuming with rage) and told me, 'There is no way in hell you are leaving this house. This house belongs to you more than anyone. For 21 years you have loved and cared for this house and this family. If anyone's gonna leave, it's gonna be your evil MIL, as she is the one responsible for the abuse and breaking up the family'.
At this point my MIL came into the room and heard everything ( she didn't knew about the ultimatum). She got angry and said how dare I even think of kicking her out of her own house. To which my son stepped up and said, ' If you ever talk to my mother like that, try to disrespect her, even so much as raise your voice against her, I will kick you out of this house and throw you into the street myself. I don't care what anybody thinks, no one can stop me. You are lucky we are putting you into an apartment, cause if it was upto me , I will put you in an adult home'. After this my MIL is pretty much terrified of my son. She has finally realized she can't manipulate anyone anymore. Although as a last hail mary, my MIL started calling all of her relatives saying how I am a terrible person and is kicking her out of her own house. Funny thing is, those same relatives would later call me , congratulating me and telling me that I did the right thing and that I should have done it sooner. Even my neighbours are really happy about this.
Final note :- So me and my husband went apartment hunting the other day, it will be a 1BHK apartment with an attached bathroom. Her own kitchen where she can cook herself. My husband is obviously not too thrilled about this but it doesnt matter anymore. She will be moving her ass out of the house by the end of July. Freedom finally.
PS :- But even after all this I still never received an apology from her. Not that it will change anything. She still remains her usual stubborn self. She doesn't talk to me anymore, or my kids. Which is for the better I guess. She has tried to manipulate my husband by crying and sobbing but that didn't change anything, my son made sure of that.
Well, this is it for now, I will update you later on about everything else that happens.

The Coated Paper market is anticipated to exhibit a growth rate of 3.3% during the period from 2019 to 2030 on a global scale. In 2021, the market was valued at USD 50.54 Billion. The primary driving factors for the industry's demand include the increasing trend of online sales and trade, rising demand for advertising and packaging across various sectors, and the use of coated paper in advertisement media such as newsprints, magazines, brochures, and catalogs.
The growth of e-commerce and online shopping has significantly increased the demand for packaging materials, leading to the expansion of the coated paper industry. Additionally, there is a growing consumer preference for eco-friendly products, resulting in a shift away from plastic packaging. The food and beverage industry is also adopting biodegradable alternatives, further fueling the growth of the industry. Governments worldwide, including those in European countries, the USA, India, and China, are implementing initiatives to ban plastics as packaging materials, making paper packaging a favorable alternative. In summary, changing trends in the packaging industry are expected to contribute significantly to the market's growth in the forecast period.
However, deforestation worldwide has caused a scarcity of wood pulp supply, leading to an increase in its price. This poses challenges for the coated paper industry as the cost of its products rises, making it face tough competition from alternative solutions. Additionally, the industry requires substantial capital and labor resources, and rising labor rates globally impact the market. These factors restrict the industry's growth. To address these challenges, major players in the industry are focusing on developing innovative packaging, labeling, and printing solutions to reduce costs while maintaining sustainability.
COVID-19 has had a positive impact on the industry to some extent, as the crisis has significantly boosted the e-commerce sector. Lockdown measures implemented worldwide have limited people's physical access to goods, resulting in a heavy reliance on online delivery services for everyday items. These products require packaging, driving the demand for coated paper even during the crisis. However, experts are concerned that the demand may soon exceed supply due to disruptions in production processes worldwide. Major players are looking to increase their production capabilities and capitalize on the situation to further drive the industry's growth.
