It was never about the idea of you, it was you. I never wanted a relationship, I told myself there was no way I'd ever consider marriage again before we met. But between all of the little things, the big things, the things others may never even notice...every single part that makes you who you are...I fell for it all.

Within 2 weeks i was in a cloud of feelings I had never remotely felt, I wasn't scared I wanted more..i wanted to feel how you made me feel everyday. The first year or so I had to downplay my feelings and thoughts, you couldn't know how I really felt. I was worried I would scare you away, I had to lie to myself and convince myself I could care less.

I tried to shield and detach myself from developing feelings for liam because he wasn't my child. I tried to protect myself in case something like all of this ever happened by lying myself and not being who I truly wanted to be. It didn't last long, within a few months I found myself thinking about little things he did and thinking of something cute he said to me or did referring to me as mac. I felt like I was a superhero.

Not being able to have children and not having much experience i was always deathly afraid to as much as hold a baby. I had always viewed myself as a broken misfit toy, no real grown self respecting women could ever desire to be with me for an extended period of time. I was someone maybe you would have a little fun with but never even tell your friends about let alone introduce to your parents. Of course I never thought a responsible mother would want me to be a part of raising a child, and even if she did odds are I would find a way for it to all to go terribly, things Kobra usually does.

So when all of these things occurred, and i was someone you could be proud to show off. Or watch your children, help raise them..I was on cloud nine. This was it, she is the one...I am going to get that white picket fence and family I've always secretly desired more than anything.

My life and overall outlook on life has always been unorthodox, but ultimately when I had dreams of what I wanted my future to be..it was living in a little 3 bedroom house with a white picket fence. Nothing too fancy but in a quite neighborhood. Having a loving household and above all finding this vague undefined blur that was my dream girl.

I never really had any types or ideal looks of who I desired, all I knew is I wanted it to be someone that was worthy of all the love I had to give, someone sarcastic enough to confuse me regularly with jokes. Someone who had the drive to become the best version themself, to become successful in life, someone that looked at me and it was like the world stopped and began to revolve around us.

There I was having found this person, who was almost a mythical figure..progressing in our lives together..ups and downs...a myriad of tiny microscopic moments...each being the best moment in my life...over and over. Each day with her is the best day of my life….over and over. I became spoiled almost, I had stockpiled a million glances of your beautiful eyes staring into my soul...small memories that seem like almost nothing in the moment. I became spoiled...i took those for granted. I just assumed we would live happily ever after no matter what. How could we not...time passes..stress builds...money is tight...spirits are low.

The millions of microscopic moments begin to be more spread out...I still don't notice. I'm still in a fog, a feeling of invincibility that I have acquired being with you also doubles as numbness and tunnel vision.

And here we are...would I rather things had went more like the storybook it began as...yes. I have no idea what the rest of our story entails, but one thing I know with all my heart...this isn't the way the story ends. And maybe one day our lives can become the wonderful picturesque illustration I had always dreamed about. I can only hope by reading this you begin to understand that we are meant to write the rest of the pages to this story together…..

To be continued

Love,
Kobra

(She reads reddit religiously so I'm hoping she sees this...I can only hope. I have always enjoyed writing but it has always been lyrics mostly. In no way do I feel I'm a competent writer I just enjoy putting my thoughts and feelings out for people to see. I hope you enjoy! PS kobra was an inside joke between us that I referred to myself in the third person haha)

Black Dog Syndrome

Why do people discriminate against dark pets?

[cute black dog.]

Would you adopt this dog?

Just when you were hoping there were no new ways to be racist, it turns out people may be racist against dogs. Black Dog Syndrome is the name shelter workers have given to the tendency of dark-furred pups to languish in kennels while their lighter-furred brethren get adopted. “The effect is very real,” says Mirah Horowitz, executive director and founder of Lucky Dog Animal Rescue. “We recently had a litter of five very cute, very fluffy puppies, two yellow and three black. And the yellow ones all went immediately, but for the black ones it took weeks.”

Black dogs get euthanized at higher rates. They linger at pounds and adoption agencies for longer than light-colored dogs, and they are less likely to find a home. Marika Bell, director of behavior and rehoming for the Humane Society of Washington, D.C., says the organization has been tracking animals that have stayed at their shelters the longest since March 2013. They found that three characteristics put a pet at risk of becoming one of these so-called “hidden gems”: medium size, an age of 2-3 years, and an ebony coat.

What kind of nefarious psychological quirk would prevent someone from adopting a dog based on fur color?

Animal welfare experts believe the discrimination arises from a pack of factors. The mythology around black dogs is grim. (The Grim, from _Harry Potter_, is a “large, black, spectral dog that haunts churchyards” and augurs death.) A 2013 study by Penn State psychologists revealed that people find images of black dogs scarier than photos of yellow or brown dogs—respondents rated the dark-furred animals less adoptable, less friendly, and more intimidating. And while the association between obsidian and evil is more explicit for cats, dogs have to contend with a culture, post-Samuel Johnson and Winston Churchill, that symbolizes depression as a coal-colored hound.

It’s not all superstition, though. With the ascent of image-based sites like Petfinder and Petango, much of the adoption process takes place before you even arrive at the shelter. And glamour shots of black animals are harder to imbue with the requisite sparkle. “Their faces look less expressive, and their eyes get lost,” says Fred Levy, a photographer whose Black Dog Projectattempts to give jet-hued canines the star treatment they deserve. (Photography lighting problems can also drive fashion glossies to subtle racism.) Because of the way the camera averages out exposure levels over the entire scene, Levy explains, “often all you’ll see of the dog is a black silhouette and a big tongue.” He solves the problem by arranging his models against a charcoal background. And Horowitz has found that videos work better than photographs at capturing a dog’s lovable personality. But for adoption programs without video equipment or access to professional photographers, shots of black animals remain harder to sell than those of lighter-colored pets.

The drama of the black dog doesn’t get much easier once you arrive at the shelter. While bright white and yellow pooches catch people’s eye, Horowitz tells me, darker-haired pups tend to get lost in a crate’s shadows. (For this reason, some rescue organizations now train inky dogs to sit in front of their kennels during visiting hours.) And though black may not actually be the most common canine color, says Bell, it is sometimes perceived as such, which means prospective owners looking to stand out from the crowd will sometimes DQ a black dog.

Bell has her own pet theory: “I think it comes down to facial expressions,” she tells me. “People attach to dogs when they can read their facial expressions, and on black dogs those are harder to make out. You can barely see their eyebrows, and it becomes harder to humanize them and connect on an emotional level.”

Other hypotheses floating around the trade: Would-be owners worry that a black dog will shed too noticeably on the furniture; black dogs get overheated more easily at adoption events and don’t introduce themselves; black dogs look older; black dogs strike people as boring. And one chow jowl-wrinkle that no one mentions: Studies suggest that people tend to choose pooches that bear some resemblance to them, whether that manifests in a lady with flowing tresses selecting a long-eared retriever or a saggy-faced man opting for a bulldog. Could the link between an owner’s and a dog’s appearance factor into the phenomenon? According to a Pew survey, 45 percent of white people own a dog, compared to 20 percent of black people. (Looking at presidential pets, Bo Obama is black, but then so was George W. Bush’s Miss Beazley.)

Some dismiss Black Dog Syndrome as an urban legend, noting a paucity of hard data supporting the effect. As a measure of how common raven-haired pups are, the Los Angeles Animal Services Department reported in 2008 that 27 percent of the 30,046 dogs it had picked up in the previous 12 months had predominantly sable coats. That prevalence was mirrored in the year’s adoption statistics: 28 percent of the animals that eventually found homes were also predominantly black. And in a 2012 study, researchers asked volunteers to rank four hypothetical pooches—a big white poodle, a small white poodle, a big black poodle, and a small black poodle—on perceived friendliness and aggressiveness. They discovered that the imaginary white dogs were seen as significantly meaner and more combative than the imaginary black ones, perhaps due to stereotypes about yappy white lap-dog terrors. (Do we subconsciously transfer Paris Hilton’s character traits to the pampered pale teacups she favors?) In any case, the study raised questions about whether what spooks us about black pups is their color or the association between dark fur and several of dogdom’s more reputedly vicious breeds: Rottweilers, Dobermans, and some pit bull mixes.

“There are lots of compounding factors,” Julie Morris, the senior vice president of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told _ABC_. “Are there just more black dogs in shelters, or is the real problem because most black dogs are also big dogs?” (The prevailing wisdom goes that big dogs have a harder time finding homes, perhaps because they seem less manageable. As the Washington Humane Society data suggests, though, it may be medium dogs that scrape together the worst of both worlds: not tiny enough to fit in a purse, not huge enough to be a sexy statement.)

Whatever the precise mix of bias and bad luck, some white knights are riding to black dogs’ defense. Many shelters have discounts on dark-furred animals, and D.C.’s Lucky Dog Animal Rescue recently held a Back in Black Fashion Show, in which a select group of eight adoptable pooches flaunted their ebony coats. (Tagline: “Adopt in glimmering black!”) There are photography Tumblrs and online rescue projects dedicated to the plight of the canine noir. There are tip sheets on how to “bedazzle your black dog.” (“Sew sequins or appliques on bandanas for the dogs to wear.”) There are black pet adoption GIFs. Even Emmylou Harris has joined the cause.

 “It’s just so irrational that people would think the color of a dog’s fur has anything to do with its character,” says Levy, the photographer.

“The effect is baffling,” says Bell. “I just want to tell people sometimes, ‘This is an amazing dog. You’ve got to look at this dog.’ ”

So, prospective pet owners, consider the gauntlet thrown. Black dogs need your yelp (help). Society needs all of our heightened awareness. We have come too far in combatting bias and ignorance to keep penalizing animals for the color of their fur.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about dark pets?

answer: Black Dog Syndrome is a phenomenon that describes discrimination against dark-furred animals. There are a number of factors that cause the phenomena. It is believed that the more black-furred animals go unnoticed in dark shelters, and are euthanized more than those with lighter coats.

answer: Dark pets (typically black dogs) tend to linger longer in shelters and have a harder time finding a home than their lighter counterparts. Some believe this may have to do with faulty pack of factors, such as negative myths surrounding dark dogs and the difficulty of taking good photographs of their dark coats. Despite these obstacles, some have come to their defense, promoting adoptions and fighting unequal treatment.

answer: According to the text, dark pets are discriminated against. They tend to be adopted last. Black dogs also get euthanized at higher rates.

answer: Dark pets, such as black dogs, often get overlooked by prospective owners due to irrational prejudices based on the color of their fur. People find images of dark-furred dogs scarier, the coloring makes their facial expressions harder to read, and people associate darker fur with aggressive breeds. Despite a lack of hard data, however, some are working to reverse this discrimination and advocate for black dogs.

answer:
Some people discriminate against dark pets. Black animal trend for "wrinkly detail" against the skin that can't be captured by cameras. Compared to black animals, their lighter counterparts are more likely to be adopted because they "catch people's eye."

Current information from shelters shows that black dogs that are medium sized, 2 to 3 years old, and have ebony coats linger in the shelters the longest, but this information is not conclusive.

text: The last paragraph is extraneous.

refinement: Some people discriminate against dark pets. Black animal trend for "wrinkly detail" against the skin that can't be captured by cameras. Compared to black animals, their lighter counterparts are more likely to be adopted because they "catch people's eye."

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about black dogs?

answer: Black dogs have a tendency to be discriminated against, they get euthanized at higher rates and they linger at pounds and adoption agencies for longer than light-colored dogs.

answer: Black dogs are discriminated against more than light-colored dogs. Black dogs are thought to be scarier and harder to photograph. There are a number of possible explanations, including cultural associations between black fur and certain breeds and dog behaviors, that may account for this discrimination. The issue is becoming more widely recognized and efforts are underway to break the bias.

answer: The text indicates that black dogs are less likely to be adopted by potential owners. Reasons for this include increased negative perceptions of their appearance and demeanor. Additionally, black dogs are less likely to catch the eyes of potential adopters due to difficulties capturing their appearance in photos. Lastly, potential owners may consider black dogs to be less friendly and more intimidating due to common stereotypes associated with black animals.

answer: Black dogs get euthanized at higher rates. They linger in pounds for a lot longer than lighter-colored pets. The mythology around black dogs is grim.

answer: Black dog syndrome was the name given to the tendency of dark-furred pups to languish in kennels while their lighter-furred brethren get adopted, despite being equally as adorable. The phenomenon has biological and non-biological factors. For example, according to a 2013 study, people find images of black dogs scarier than photos of yellow or brown dogs; however, the trend is reversed when looking at imaginary dogs. Even the temperament of potential owners affects animals' lives.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about white dogs?

answer: According to the research, white dogs are considered meaner and more combative than the black ones because of stereotypes about lap-dog terrors.

answer: Dogs of lighter colors get adopted much faster than black animals. They're also much easier to photograph and advertise for adoption. As such, animals of lighter colors are less prone to bias.

answer: The text says that white dogs often get adopted more quickly than black dogs. They are also perceived as more friendly and less intimidating by potential owners.

answer: A small white poodle is considered to be cuter and more adoptable than large black poodle. Potential owners might be biased because of small white poodles' lighter fur on their ears, which can seem cute- pet owners don't want cruel-looking dogs for pets. The lightness translates into puppies being more active and cute.

answer: White dogs are seen as less intimidating and scarier than black dogs by respondents in a study by Penn State psychologists. They also tend to be preferred over black dogs by potential pet owners.

BANK ZERO is an exclusively digital mutual bank in South Africa that will launch in 2020.[1][2] The bank was founded in January 2018 and registered with the South African Reserve Bank in October 2018. Its focus is on point-of-sale transactions, debit orders, electronic funds transfers, and security of financial transactions – particularly debit card security. Bank Zero joins other new banks in South Africa, such as TymeBank and Discovery Bank.[3]

History

In January 2018, Bank Zero was founded by former First National Bank employees, Michael Jordaan and Yatin Narsai, and obtained a provisional banking license from the South African Reserve Bank.[4][5] The bank's focus would be point-of-sale transactions, debit orders, electronic funds transfers, and financial service security.[6] In October, after registering as a mutual bank in August, Bank Zero began trialing its services.[7][8] As a mutual bank, customers who hold “specific cash investment products” will become shareholders in the bank.[9]

In March 2019, it announced that it began testing EFT payments and other services.[10] Bank Zero had originally planned to soft launch some of its products at the end of 2019, but decided to delay its launch to 2020.[11][12] In November, Bank Zero announced that it had patented a debit card with additional security features.[13][14] Bank Zero uses IBM Z mainframe computers and LinuxONE,[15] a secure platform which can protect against data breaches with IBM's Secure Service Container.[16]

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa, Bank Zero stated that it still plans to launch in mid-2020.[17][18]

Security

Debit card

In November 2019, a patented debit card which, instead of storing the card number that is embossed on the card on both the magnetic stripe, and in the card chip, would have three different card numbers for each: the embossed number, the magnetic strip, and the card chip.[19] This would allow Bank Zero to limit specific types of transactions to each card number. For example, the magnetic strip card number could only be used at an ATM and at a point-of-sale terminal; the card chip card number could only be used at point-of-sale devices; and, the card number embossed on the card could only be used for online transactions.[20]

The bank said, “[this] will dramatically minimise the negative impact of card data theft and card skimming.”[21]

UPDATE (JULY 17, 2018): Peach & Lily's in-house skin-care collection has been live on peachandlily.com for less than 24 hours, and one of the five new products has already sold out — and it did so within mere _minutes_ of the launch.

Anyone looking to purchase the Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask right now will be greeted with a purple "This item is sold out! Notify me when available" button where the peach "Add to bag" button briefly was. According to the Peach & Lily team, what made so many people jump at the chance to buy it is that it's so good at "de-gunking" skin through gentle resurfacing. In fact, Peach & Lily founder Alicia Yoon, who suffers from eczema, says this is the first chemical peel gentle enough for her to use.

And it probably didn't hurt that Peach & Lily's Instagram account posted a video right before the launch featuring a video of the mask gleaming in its jar. It's truly hypnotizing.

If you've got your heart set on snagging a Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask for yourself, don't worry — Peach & Lily is working on getting it back in stock, and you can be one of the first to know of its triumphant return by clicking on the aforementioned "notify me" button.

UPDATE (JULY 16, 2018): After nearly two months, the wait is finally over: Peach & Lily's in-house skin-care collection, announced in late May, makes its official debut today. And while it may be small, the demand for the line is expected to be mighty, considering two of the products already flew off virtual, pre-sale shelves.

Those two already-popular products are collection's hero formula, Glass Skin Refining Serum, and the Original Glow Sheet Mask, which sold out on both peachandlily.com and QVC.

Peach & Lily is also launching the Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask, a wash-off formula that gently exfoliates; Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream, a free-radical-fighting moisturizer, and Pure Beam Luxe Oil, which provides fatty acids and antioxidants to reinforce skin's protective barrier. Each product in the collection averages about $40, except for the Original Glow Sheet Mask, which is available individually for $6 and in a set of 20 for $79.

In addition to its promise of effectiveness, the Peach & Lily skin-care collection has also sworn off many of the ingredients that turn shoppers off, including animal fats, detergents, mineral oil, parabens, petrolatum, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

_This post originally appeared on May 24, 2018:_

Korean beauty retailer Peach & Lily has established itself as one of the must-shop websites for emerging and beloved K-beauty brands like Saturday Skin, Femmue, and Mizon. With the exception of its CVS collaboration, Peach Slices, however, the company hadn't ventured into making its own products. Until now, that is.

The brand posted three simple videos to Instagram announcing the arrival of Peach & Lily's very own skin-care collection, starting with a serum. "🎉✨WE’RE OVER THE MOON EXCITED✨🎉 Introducing...Peach & Lily skincare! ✨🎉" the caption of the first video reads. "We’ve been quietly developing this dreamy line for you for two years. We set out to create a skincare line that gives you everything: proven results, clean and safe formulas, fresh ingredients, decadent textures. Results, delight and safety. 💫 We launched our site seven years ago without fanfare or a big party, instead we launched with the most important thing in focus: connecting with you. It only felt right to share about this launch — our most passionate endeavor yet at Peach & Lily - the same way we did on day one. An earnest, pared-down message that keeps you in the focal point, always."

The caption goes on to say that the full collection will launch in the summer, but the second video's caption announced a pre-sale for the very first product, called Glass Skin Refining Serum. "A breakthrough formula that delivers translucent, poreless, radiant, refined skin. That elusive glass skin is now yours." Well, it's not yours _yet_. The $39 serum — called a "revolutionary cocktail of peach extract, niacinamide, East Asian mountain yam, madecassoside, peptides, and hyaluronic acid" in its description — is already sold out. However, you do have the option of being notified when orders are being taken again.

A third video encourages fans to follow Peach & Lily founder Alicia Yoon for a behind-the-scenes look at product development and insight into how the collection started. She shares some of those details on peachandlily.com, explaining her research began two years ago when her sister told her she was pregnant.

Amanda was driving to her hometown. It has been months of hectic work, and she was finally happy to go home and relax. As she drove down the familiar route, her mind went on a journey of its own – down the memory lane. All her childhood years, all the events that made her the woman she was today, flashed before her eyes.

As she reveled in the memories, the flashing lights and wailing sirens pulled her from dreamland back into reality.

“What the hell” she spoke to herself. “I wasn’t speeding”

She was ready to give the officer a piece of her mind, when she realized that the car wasn’t after her. It was probably transported a convict to the prison, just a few miles down the road. She remembered how that prison was a curse on her hometown. Prisoners escaped all the time and their closest target would be her town. She glared at the prison as she drove past it.

She turned on the radio to take her mind off things. Music always made her feel better. Just as she crossed a signpost that said she was five miles from her destination, she saw a guy sticking out his thumb. He was muscular, and dressed in formals. He looked like he was probably in his early thirties. Amanda stopped the car, and rolled down the window.

“Hello there! I’m Joseph. My car broke down, and I need a ride. Would you be so kind to give me a lift?”

“Sure Joseph, hop in. I’m Amanda, by the way.”

Amanda liked picking up hitchhikers. She was always happy to have them in her car.

“So Joseph, where are you headed?”

“Vacation. I have a cabin around here. Just a mile before River Heights. We’re vacationing there for the weekend”

“Who’s ‘we’?” Amanda was curious.

“Me, my wife, and our kids. We wanted to go somewhere peaceful, and where be--”

“--better than River Heights?” She finished his line for him. “I was born and raised here. Welcome to our town, Joseph”

“Oh. You’re a native. My mother was from River Heights, so the place is always special to me”

They continued exchanging stories, as the car approached a small path that broke off the highway.

“That’s the way to the cabin” Joseph said, sounding excited.

As they drove down the dark path, an unsettling feeling came over Amanda. But she kept driving, as the path suddenly ended in the middle of a forest.
“Umm... Joseph? Where’s the cabin you--” A sharp blow to her face stopped the sentence in half.
Joseph got out of the car, pulled Amanda out, and shoved her on the ground. She tried getting up, only to get hit again.

“You know Amanda” he said, ripping off her shirt. “Picking hitchhikers around a prison is a foolish thing to do. They might turn out to be a killer. Lucky for you, I’m merely a rapi--”

He froze, as he felt a cold intrusion in his chest. He looked down to see blood dripping down the slit between his ribs. Amanda shoved him off and stood over him, with her favourite knife covered in his blood.

“Speaking of foolish things, you should never get in a stranger’s car, especially a stranger who grew up around a prison”, she said with a maniacal smile in her face. “Like you said, they might turn out to be a killer”

Joseph gasped, as the cold knife proceeded to taste more of his blood. It was going to be a long night.

question: Describe Joseph.

answer: A middle-aged man who had committed a crime. Wanted by a prison. Attempted to abduct and rape the protagonist.

answer: Joseph is a husband, father, and is also a killer.

text: Joseph is not a killer.

refinement: Joseph is a husband, father, and is also a rapist.

question: Why does Amanda pull over?

answer: Amanda stops driving after Joseph delivers a sharp blow to her face.

answer: She is a hitchhiker herself, so she knows how to handle crazy people.

text: What actually happens is Joseph delivers a blow to her face.

answer: Amanda picks up hitch-hikers - she is a giver by nature, which can come with its own risks. The hitchhiker is also about her mother's age and tells a story about River Heights being special for Amanda. He ends up raping her.

text: None of this answers why she pulls over

question: Write a ~4 sentence summary.

answer: After Amanda gets home, it doesn't take long for her to hitch a ride with a man named Joseph. They get to talking about Joseph's family, and the scenery changes from freeway to dark path. Joseph tries to assault Amanda, so she stabs him to death.

text: Amanda is not hitching a ride.

refinement: Amanda picks up a hitchhiker near a prison named Joseph. They get to talking about Joseph's family, and the scenery changes from freeway to dark path. Joseph tries to assault Amanda, so she stabs him to death.

text: Joseph asks her to drive to a cottage.

refinement: Amanda picks up a hitchhiker near a prison named Joseph. Joseph asks her to drive to a cottage, and the scenery changes from freeway to dark path. Joseph tries to assault Amanda, so she stabs him to death.

answer: While driving Amanda gets picked up by a stranger who tells her about a camping trip. Then as Amanda and the stranger talk, Joseph takes her to a wooded road and hits her. After grabbing Amanda's shirt, Joseph is surprised by a knife and blood comes out his rib. Amanda kills him by stabbing him.

answer: Amanda arrives home on a trip from work. While driving down the highway, she picks up hitchhiker Joseph. He tells her he's taking a vacation with his wife. At their destination, Amanda pulls out a knife and kills Joseph.

text: Joseph tries to assault her.

refinement: Amanda arrives home on a trip from work. While driving down the highway, she picks up hitchhiker Joseph. He tells her he's taking a vacation with his wife. At their destination, Joseph tries to assault her and Amanda pulls out a knife and kills him.

answer: Amanda and Joseph are both driving when Amanda pulls over to pick up a hitchhiker. Joseph fools Amanda and starts beating her, but she manages to revive her self and uses a knife to kill him. Joseph is not a killer; he merely plays a killer in a previous crime.

text: The last sentence is incoherent and inaccurate

refinement: Amanda and Joseph are both driving when Amanda pulls over to pick up a hitchhiker. Joseph fools Amanda and starts beating her, but she manages to revive her self and uses a knife to kill him.

answer: Amanda is driving to her hometown and passes by a prison. She stops to pick up a hitchhiker named Joseph, who asks her to drive him to his family cabin. When they reach an isolated area, he attacks her and tries to rape her. Amanda stabs him, revealing that she is actually a killer.

answer: Amanda is driving home and flashing back on her childhood memories. As she drives past the prison, a man named Joseph steps out of the woods and asks her for a ride in front of an upcoming trail which she follows until it's blocked by a dead end. Amanda reaches for her knife, and Joseph tries to evade her by grabbing her and trying to pull her from the car. Amanda butchers him with her knife.

I turned my palms so that they were face down. I was wrapped from the waist down in the white sheets of a bed. I felt like a twig. I looked at the smiling doc. My vision was surprisingly clear. Beyond the doc, the room boasted blue curtains, white walls and bright lights - as one should expect, I assume at least, from a hospital room.

The doc sported black hair, two lovely pearly earrings and a pair of eyes. I smiled back. I was definitely on something. I can’t tell what, but my mouth crinkles seemed to buzz as muscles contracted. It was a weird feeling. My mind wondered easily. Almost as easily as my eyes. I remember looking at the wall clock and following the ticking motion of the hands. At the time, they had a nice movement to them. I likened that motion to the sway of smoke or the flapping of a flame.

I was told by the lovely doc to embrace my new heart in a language comprised of factoids and the occasional medical vignette.

“It’s a technologically sound device and very new indeed”.

“135 beats per minute and far more efficient than the real thing. Breath taking, really”.

After the doc’s description about how terrific my new heart is, I had a little coughing fit. I can only put the cough down to the dustiness of the room’s air. The odd thing was that my heart rate stayed exactly the same. Now, not having experienced this before, I must say it is a feeling of peculiarity. It was at this moment that I realised my case was quite luxurious. I would never have to worry again about becoming light headed from lying down too long and nor would I have to worry about attending anymore of Minnie’s god awful Pilates classes. A minor miracle.

I remember having a little lapse form my bliss. How would Minnie respond? And the kids? Joseph had only just managed to graduate and, well, Kayla’s kids now have to deal with an even less capable Gramps. Fantastic. Thinking about all this was all fine and dandy, but I soon realised that the most pressing issue was to work out how I was going to navigate Minnie’s “I told you so” moment.

“Listen to me, you’re too old for this”.

“40 years. It’s going to kill you”.

Minnie’s concerns are always the same. I never take them to heart. I know she means well. But, my god, that woman can complain and she now had a fair point. I looked back at the doctor still mumbling away. I concluded apologising was the best bet. I needed to play the victim card to my advantage. Minnie isn’t that heartless. She’s come around.

I tuned back to the doc. I was told that there are two battery packs built into my chest. All externally rechargeable, of course. When one pack dies out, the second pack kicks in and it becomes paramount that the previous one is recharged. If I fail this procedure, I die; with both battery packs empty there is simply nothing to power the circulation of my blood, to transport my oxygen and to keep me alive.

The doctor smiled again. I must say, by now, I remember beginning to feel a little restless. I was starting to come around. My eyes darted down towards the doctor’s blouse, to the chest pocket of her white coat and then to the little white pen that popped out.

It was then that I realised I now had no heart and all I really wanted was a cigarette.

title: Heart.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Explain what the narrator is and has become.

answer: The narrator is a human who previously had an organ transplant. They were still dependent on an external power source to keep their body going.

refinement: The narrator is a human who recently had a heart transplant. They are dependent on the two batteries that keep their heart, needing to recharge them periodically.

answer: The narrator is a human who previously had an organ transplant. They have been implanted with a mechanical heart which is attached externally to a battery pack on their chest and are still dependent on an external power source to keep the open-heart surgery viable.

_Let’s get to the_ _Philadelphia Eagles_ _links ..._

From the GM’s Eye: The red zone decides NFL games — as the Packers were reminded of in painful fashion - The Athletic
Were the Eagles the better team? No, not on this night, with all their injuries and a lack of coverage talent in their secondary. (A quick side note on that: The Eagles will spend the next few days trying to pry Jalen Ramsey from the Jags, as they know their lack of coverage will prevent them from competing at the highest level. The Eagles typically win with their defensive front dominating the game, but with all the injuries to their defensive line, the lack of pressure has highlighted their lack of talent in the secondary.) But the Eagles were the better situational team, as they went 4-4 on their goal line visits and ultimately that was the difference in the game.

How the Eagles’ offense got their groove back - BGN
Doug Pederson reeled in the passing game on Thursday, asking Wentz to work a shorter, quicker game with a heavy does of RPOs requiring high-speed decision-making. Wentz delivered by making the reads and getting the ball out quick, including a 2.41 time-to-throw per PFF. Pederson asked Wentz to let the offense work for him and that’s exactly what he did. If you can find a missed read by Wentz, please let me know because I sure couldn’t. It’s of note that Wentz’s time-to-throw (TTT) has been under 2.45 seconds on three out of his last four outings in 2019.

At the Podium: The Eagles’ Get Their Groove Back - BGN Radio
John Stolnis talks about the Eagles’ big Week 4 win with their backs against the wall PLUS three new pressers, two from after the game with Doug Pederson & Carson Wentz, then another from Pederson on Friday after having a night to “sleep” on things..Powered by SB Nation and Bleeding Green Nation.

Difference Maker - Iggles Blitz
The Eagles have one more weapon…Doug Pederson. Anyone who watched the Packers and Eagles on Thursday night could see the difference in coaching. Matt LaFleur is a rookie head coach and made several questionable decisions. He had 4th & 2 from the Eagles 13-yard line, with his team leading 10-7. The Packers had been moving up and down the field. LaFleur took a page straight from the Sean McVay playbook and kicked the FG. That gave the Packers a whopping 13-7 lead. Where is the aggression? Why wouldn’t you trust Aaron Rodgers to make a play there? If you fail, you’re still up 10-7. LaFleur made some questionable play-calls. The Packers had no run game. Aaron Jones had 13 carries for 21 yards. Person after person on Twitter was writing that every Jones run was a Christmas gift to the Eagles, who had no answers for WR Davante Adams and the Packers passing game.

Eagle Eye: How the rushing attack stymied the Packers’ vaunted defense - PE.com
The Eagles did creative things schematically. They ran more than a handful of different run concepts. They used misdirection, they used smash-mouth, and they got out to the perimeter. RPOs were successful. Screens were successful. Play-action was successful. The entire smattering worked, and when you get the kind of dominant performance that the team got from the offensive line in the trenches, that only will help propel you to victory. I thought the entire line performed well in this game, but if I had to pick one player who stood out most, it would be right guard Brandon Brooks, who got great movement time and time again up front. The Milwaukee native was a sixth captain for Thursday night’s game.

NFL Week 4 PFF ReFocused: Philadelphia Eagles 34, Green Bay Packers 27 - PFF
The Eagles’ pass-rush was formidable in this game, recording pressure on what seemed like half of Aaron Rodgers’ dropbacks. As you’d expect, Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham were at the forefront, feasting on a Green Bay line that struggled to block them from the get-go. There’s a strong chance that Graham comes away with a double-digit pressure total, and Cox won’t be far behind.

  People are talking about possible pass interference on the Eagles pick at the end of the game on Thursday night. The contact was not more than a yard downfield. Not a foul even if reviewed. I would not have stopped it either.

Examining the Eagles’ endless rash of cornerback injuries - NBCSP
Cornerback injuries decimated the Eagles last year. They started the season in Tampa with Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby as the starters and Avonte Maddox, Douglas and Sidney Jones as the backups and they finished it with Cre’Von LeBlanc, Douglas and Maddox as the starters and Josh Hawkins off the bench. The carousel hasn’t stopped turning this year. LeBlanc is on IR. Mills is on PUP. Darby left the Lions game with a hamstring injury and Jones left the Packers game with a hamstring injury. The Eagles beat Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers Thursday night at Lambeau Field with two healthy corners, one of whom entered the game having never played a regular-season defensive snap.

Jay Ajayi fully recovered from knee surgery, looking for a team - PFT
Ajayi, 26, now is fully healthy and looking for a new team, Ian Rapoport of the NFL reports. Ajayi’s agent has informed all 32 teams he is ready for game action, and Rapoport adds that Ajayi’s “market could heat up quickly.”

Eagles release L.J. Fort, Steelers no longer eligible for 2020 compensatory pick - Behind The Steel Curtain
It was a scenario I brought up in an article back in May. If one of the players who left the Steelers in free agency in the 2019 offseason were to be released before Week 10 of the NFL season, the Steelers might lose out altogether on a compensatory draft pick. Although the scenario seemed unlikely, it was put more to rest in August when it appeared that Le’Veon Bell, Jesse James, and L.J. Fort would all make their respective teams. Not anymore. On Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles released L.J. Fort, a move that will help them gain an extra compensatory pick while causing the Steelers to no longer enter into the formula.

  The Ravens hosted recently-released Eagles LB L.J. Fort on a visit, per source. Baltimore has an open roster spot and could use some linebacker depth.

Jets fans are still dejected after the loss to New England - Gang Green Nation
Jets fans have not been confident in their team in weeks. Every week SB Nation sends out a FanPulse survey to fans of each team to gauge their thoughts. After the Week 1 loss to Buffalo, confidence fell greatly. The subsequent loss of Sam Darnold and two defeats have kept it low. This week’s confidence level is 13%. It was 15% last week and 19% the week before. At the start of the season it was 80%.
