Genshin Impact ‘Try to Lift the Seal’ Guide: 7 Seal Locations and how to lift them – The Click
Posted: September 20, 2022 at 8:35 am
Try to Lift the Seal is one of the objectives in Genshin Impacts For the Children of the Past world quest. This world quest is part of the Aranyaka series, specifically from Part III Nursery of Lost Dreams.
During this quest, the Traveler, Paimon, and Arama find themselves in an area filled with sand. Here, Arama says that Maranas Avatar is very, very deep underground and that a couple of seals must be broken to be able to face and defeat it.
However, locating the seals in a wide area might not be the easiest thing to do. Thats why we will be pointing out their locations in this guide, as well as how you can try to lift the seal.
To break the seals, you must hit them with Pyro Attacks. Note that these seals are stone pillars and that there are seven (7) of them. Below are their locations:
After talking to Arama, you should be able to find one seal a few meters behind him.
Another seal can be found on the left side of Arama.

When you head to the Teleport Waypoint in the area, you should be able to find two (2) seals near it.
These four (4) seals are all that you can find in the current sandy area. The three (3) remaining ones are only accessible after you go near the Claustroflora and play the Rhythm of the Beastly Trail using the Vintage Lyre. Doing so will break the wall behind the flower. Behind the wall, you will immediately find the fifth seal.
Deeper into the cave, you should find the sixth seal and an inactivated Dendrogranum. Activate the Dendrogranum by playing Rhythm of the Sprout on your Vintage Lyre. Doing so will allow you to summon a healthy Dendrogranum.
With the healthy Dendrogranum, shoot the Dendro Rings around with Charged Attacks. This will remove the vines that block the path to the next area where you will find the seventh and last seal.

In the last area, you will find another Claustroflora. You can play your Vintage Lyre near it to break the wall and easily go back to Arama.
Thats all you need to do to complete the Try to Lift the Seal quest objective in Genshin Impacts For the Children of the Past world quest. We hope you were able to lift the seal and had fun!
Genshin Impactis an action role-playing game developed by miHoyo, also known as HoYoverse. The game is available forPC, PS4, PS5, iOS, and Android, while a release onNintendo Switch is currently in the works.

The example of the late Queen will shape the future, hopes the Bishop of St Asaph – Rhyl Journal
Posted: at 8:35 am
THE example set by Queen Elizabeth II will shape the future, hopes the Bishop of St Asaph, in a letter sent out to churches across north-east and mid-Wales.
The Rt Revd Gregory Cameron described Her Majesty as perhaps the most influential leader of modern timeswhose unstinting service, and quiet compassion. means that she will forever have made her mark on British history.
The letter, in Welsh and English, is available to read online.
In a short film to accompany the pastoral letter, Bishop Gregory added that Queen Elizabeth was a woman of tremendous faith who believed that she found the grace and strength to be able to do the work that she did through God.
On Sunday (September 18), Bishop Gregory will join with civic leaders from across north-east and mid-Wales in a service of commemoration for Queen Elizabeth II at St Asaph Cathedral.

The bishop, who will give the address, will be joined by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant for Clwyd, representatives from the House of Lords, members of parliament and the Senedd, council leaders, and members of the Royal British Legion.
A special edition of the gospel of St John, celebrating the life of Queen Elizabeth II, will be given, as a keepsake, to everyone attending the service.
Editions of the Faithful Servant Gospels are being made available by the Pocket Gospel League.
Also in Bishop Gregorys pastoral letter, he looks ahead to the reign of His Majesty, King Charles III, whom he has met on several occasions.
He draws a parallel between the new Kings description of the new Prince and Princess of Wales and the example of Jesus.
He said: When King Charles addressed the nation the other evening, he also said something significant about the work of the new Prince and Princess of Wales.
He spoke of them helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given.
It was our Lord who always, in his ministry, brought people from the edges into the centre of society.
He reached out to others whom society had rejected, and asserted the importance and value of every single individual.
If our Royal Family, and our politicians, can live by this principle, then there is hope for the future.
Today (September 16), Bishop Gregory will travel briefly to London to represent the Church in Wales at an audience with the King at Buckingham Palace, alongside other UK faith leaders.
Churches across the diocese are open for prayer, to light a candle and many have opened books of condolence.
Services of commemoration are taking place in churches and all are warmly welcome to attend.
Among those taking place are:
Saturday, September 17
11am St Margarets Church, Bodelwyddan (The Marble Church): Memorial Service for Her Majesty the Queen
Sunday, September 18
11am St Marks Church, Connahs Quay: A civic service of commemoration

Frozen Planet II: Viewers in tears as seal pup abandoned at 12 days old – Metro.co.uk
Posted: at 8:35 am
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a webbrowser thatsupports HTML5video
Frozen Planet II continued with its stunning and at some points distressing content on Sunday, after making a welcome return to screens last weekend.
The Sir David Attenborough-narrated series brought viewers on a journey to the North Pole this episode and countries including Norway and Russia as it took in polar bears making friends, orcas hunting other whales, majestic narwhals and one very sweet seal pup.
Following last weeks bizarre walrus mating ritual, the programme homed in on the story of a mother seal looking after her new baby, who was of course all types of white, fluffy and adorable.
Viewers were lulled with gorgeous footage of the parent and baby bonding as the mother fed her baby and taught him how to swim.
A particularly important lesson for the newborn harp seal pup, as Sir David revealed they were vulnerable to pneumonia while developing the thick layer of insulating fat needed to brave the freezing temperatures.
He also revealed the quite stunning fact that female seals only produce milk for 12 days, the shortest-known nursing period in mammals, and one that sees them lose a third of their body weight as they help pups put on the necessary fat.
However, Frozen Planet II fans were not ready for what would come next as renowned conservationist and broadcaster Sir David explained: After producing milk for 12 days, she has lost a third of her body weight.
Now she must return to her feeding grounds. She will never see her pup again.
If that wasnt the killer blow, more followed as it transpired that seal pups spend the next four weeks alone on the packed ice, hoping to survive before they are ready to go hunting in the water on their own.
Anyone else bawling at the harp seal? asked one viewer, while another lamented: The baby seal and its [sic] mother have just broken my heart.
One particularly shaken fan commented: No human has ever hurt me as bad as that seal and pup did.
Viewers were also noticing Frozen Planet IIs stunning music as one wrote: Oh nooooo, little pup is on his own! Poor little pup. (Btw the emotional manipulation music as his mother slipped from view was Bambi-worthy)
The seal pups sniffles and wails he made were also testing resolve, but it was just another lesson in the (often) brutal circle of life especially as the final few moments of the show gave insight into the filming process for the seals and revealed a storm was closing in on the seal pup after his mother left.
Frozen Planet II returns next Sunday at 8pm on BBC One.

NSCDC Arrests 19 Suspected Crude Oil Thieves in Rivers – THISDAY Newspapers
Posted: at 8:35 am
Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Rivers State Command has paraded 19 suspects arrested over their alleged connection to oil theft and illegal dealings in petroleum products in the state.
Parading the suspects at the command headquarters in Port Harcourt, yesterday, the State Commandant, Michael Ogar decried the defiant attitude of oil thieves and those engaging in illegal bunkering activities.
He noted that in spite of the continuous sensitisation and relentless war against economic sabotage in the country, those milking from the nations wealth through illegal oil dealings have blatantly refused to change their ways.
According to Ogar, the Marine and Land Patrol team of the command arrested the 19 suspects at different locations in the state.
Four suspects named: Peter Udo (20), Benjamin Godpower (16), Godgift Nicholas (19) and Goodness Sunday (19) were arrested with One Big wooden boat and a 40 HP outboard engine along Bakana River close to Bakana Community in Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State.
In addition, three suspects named: Jacob Fewu (23), George George (20) and Stanley Bruce (20) were arrested with One wooden boat laden with 10,000 litres of illegaly refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), a 40 HP Outboard Engine used for propelling the boat.

The NSCDC boss also disclosed that the anti-vandal Unit uncovered a building used as dump site for storing locally refined AGO along Cornerstone junction in Ogbogoro, Obio Akpo Local Government Area.
We discovered an underground Tanker containing unquantified litres of locally refined AGO, a Plastic Tank containing about 3,500 litres of AGO and a Pumping Machine. The entire compound is now under seal and manned by our personnel while the Command would continue to chase the culprits till they are arrested and prosecuted accordingly, he added.
In another development, five suspects were arrested at Oyakama community in Ahoada west LGA and Njemanze street in Port Harcourt.
The suspects included: Onorode Daniel (34), Samuel Odirode (32), Charles Okeke (43), Uche (32) and Chinedu Iroanya (36).
Ogar said the suspects were in conveyance of an ash colour Toyota Sequoia SUV with number plate: LAGOS Epe 539 AT laden with about 1,000 litres of AGO, a Golden colour Toyota Camry Car with about 1,500 litres of illegaly refined AGO, an Ash Colour Toyota Camry Car with registration number RIVERS BER 951 MU, a green colour Toyota Camry Car with number plate: RIVERS AH 824 AHD laden with illegaly refined AGO concealed in cellophane and packed in sack bags which totalled 5,000 litres.

Nigel Slaters jam, pickle and relish recipes – The Guardian
Posted: at 8:35 am
At this time of year, I put away damsons, gooseberries and blackcurrants in the freezer. A squirrel-store of fruits that are distinctly seasonal and are pretty much impossible to find in the freezer aisles. In the depths of winter, I rather enjoy an out-of-season gooseberry crumble or a hot damson compote with my breakfast porridge. But my freezer is small and soon filled.
When apricots have finally come down in price, I make jars of glowing jam; when peaches are at their best or the supply of courgettes and beetroot seems never-ending, I will make jam or chutney. If I find a cheap supply of those intensely flavoured tiny cucumbers that are so difficult to track down, they will end up in a homemade pickle with fennel seeds and dill to eat with cheese. A row of glistening jars to last me through the winter.
This summer I grew lavender and scented geraniums like never before (I can usually kill a lavender bush at 20 paces), so their flowers and leaves have ended up stored in jars of sugar to make a scented sprinkle for sponges or shortbread. Rose petals too.
I am not the sort of cook to make hundreds of pots of chutney or pickles, yet there is something rather delightful about opening a kitchen cupboard to find recycled jam jars full of your own handiwork. Recipes you have personalised to your own taste. A homemade pickle can be as sweet or sour as you like; jam can be more softly set than commercial recipes and the chilli heat of a relish can be tweaked to work for you.
There is, to a certain extent, a bit of good housekeeping going on here. When something is in such generous supply that it comes down in price I will make the most of it, picking up a few extra courgettes to make into a pickle or a second and third bag of plums with which to make jam. That said, I make all preserves as a treat rather than a way to rid myself of a cartload of fruit or vegetables. A jar or two of peach chutney or bread and butter pickles is like finding treasure in the cupboard, but I dont want to be eating runner bean relish or marrow jam for the next six months.
You should use sterilised storage jars for all preserves and pickles. Heat the oven to 160C fan/gas mark 4. Remove the rubber seals from your storage jars, pour boiling water into the jars, carefully emptying them and leaving them to dry upside down on a baking sheet or roasting tin. Put the tray into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then fill and seal as required.
This is one of the few preserves I make every year. My version is softer than most you can buy, rather like the jams you find in the Middle East. Letting the stoned fruit rest overnight under a blanket of sugar is a trick worth following. The sugar softens the fruit, leading to a shorter cooking time and the flavour seems more intense. Use a sugar thermometer from the start. If you dont have one, then chill a couple of saucers in the fridge before you start and follow the instructions here. This is luscious soft-set jam, but if you want something firmer use preserving sugar with added pectin. Make sure your roses are from the garden and unsprayed.
Makes 3 x 350ml storage jarsapricots 1kg, firm, almost ripegranulated sugar 750grose petals 40lemon 1, large
Wipe the apricots, remove any stems, then slice in half and remove their stones. Put the fruit in a large mixing bowl, then sprinkle the granulated sugar over them. Cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice over the fruit, then toss everything together with a large spoon, so the sugar is wet with juice. Cover the bowl and set aside for three or four hours, or even overnight, in a cool place.
Put a large, heavy-based stainless-steel or enamel saucepan over a low to moderate heat. Add the fruit and sugar and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and leave to bubble gently for about 20 minutes. The jam is ready when it reaches 105C on a sugar thermometer. As soon as the temperature is reached, stir in the rose petals, ladle into sterilised jars and seal tightly.
To test without a thermometer, put a couple of saucers in the fridge. As the fruit becomes tender, put 1 teaspoon of jam on one of the cold saucers. Put it back in the fridge for 2 minutes and, if a skin has formed, the jam is ready.
I was tempted by the deliciously old-fashioned name alone, but I felt I had to have a go at making this sweet-sour pickle after I bought an artisan-made version whose price was more than I wanted to pay. Small cucumbers can be bought from Turkish and Middle Eastern grocery shops.
Makes 1 x 750ml storage jar and 1 smaller oneonions 250g, mediumsmall, crisp cucumbers 500gsalt 1 tbspsoft brown sugar 250gmalt vinegar 100mlcider vinegar 300mlground turmeric 1 tspyellow mustard seeds 1 tbspblack peppercorns 1 tspfennel seeds 2 tspdried chilli flakes tspfennel stalks and flowers a handful (optional)
Peel the onions, slice them into thin rounds, then put them in a stainless steel or china bowl. Slice the cucumbers into rounds about 1cm thick, add them to the onions and sprinkle everything with the salt. Cover and leave for a good couple of hours, overnight it you have time.
Put the soft brown sugar, vinegars, ground turmeric yellow mustard seeds, peppercorns, fennel seeds, chili flakes and fennel stalks and flowers if you are using them into a large saucepan and bring to the boil.
Rinse the cucumber and onions in a colander under the cold tap to remove the salt. Pour the boiling pickling liquor over the vegetables in a bowl, then spoon into jars and seal.
It is something of a blurred line between relish and chutney and Im not sure it makes much difference what you call them, but a general rule of thumb is that a chutney contains some sort of fruit (including dried vine fruits) and a relish is more vegetable based, somewhat finer in texture and is cooked for a shorter time.
This recipe is for those keen to rid themselves of some of their beetroot harvest. It has the mild, hot crunch of mustard seeds and is one that I bring out with a vegetable curry or spoon on to grilled lamb flatbread.
Makes a large jar, about 750mlraw beetroot 325gcarrots 350gginger 50gred chilli 1, medium hotyellow mustard seeds 1 tsplemon 1garlic 6 clovessalt 1 tspblack peppercorns 8cider vinegar 200mlsoft brown sugar 175g
Peel and coarsely grate the beetroot, then put it in a medium sized stainless-steel or enamelled pan. Peel and coarsely grate the carrots, then add to the beetroot.
Peel the ginger, slice it thinly (about the thickness of a pound coin), then cut each slice into matchsticks. Add them to the beetroot and carrot, then thinly slice and add the chilli. (You can remove the seeds or not, as you wish leave them in for a spicier relish.)
Mix in the mustard seeds, the zest of the lemon, finely grated, and the peeled, whole garlic cloves. Add a teaspoon of salt and the whole peppercorns. Halve and squeeze the lemon and add the juice to the pan together with the vinegar and sugar.
Bring to the boil over a moderate heat, stirring gently until the sugar has dissolved and all is glossy then keep it bubbling until the liquid has almost disappeared. Pack into jars and seal. This is best kept in the fridge.
A good chutney with a nice balance of vinegar-sharp fruit and deep sweetness that makes it a good one for cheeses such as caerphilly or properly made farmhouse cheddars. It is quite perfect for the firmer blues too.
Makes 1 x 750ml storage jarpeaches 1kgonions 350g golden raisins 125glight muscovado sugar 250g crushed dried chillies tspyellow mustard seeds 2 tspcider vinegar 150ml malt vinegar 150ml cinnamon stick 1, broken in two
Quarter the peaches and discard the stones. If the fruit is large, cut each piece once more. Peel and roughly chop the onions.
Put the fruit and the onions into a large heavy bottomed steel or enamelled pan. Add the raisins, sugar, chillies, mustard seeds, vinegar and cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes. You want a chutney that is both sour and sweet to the taste, so tweak it to your taste, but it is worth remembering that the flavour will mellow as it keeps.
Pour into hot and sterilised jars and seal tightly.
These sugars are such a simple but effective way to use the many varieties of scented geranium (pelargonium) leaves or lavender buds. Make sure your leaves are dry and from a variety that smells only of rose or lemon when rubbed. (If the leaves dont remind you of Turkish delight, then dont use them.) The oils present in the leaves will gently scent your sugar over the following few weeks, leaving you with fragrant crystals to scatter over shortbread or almond cookies as they leave the oven, or over a sponge cake.
Makes a medium-sized jargranulated or caster sugar 300gscented geranium leaves 12, small, or lavender buds 2 tbsp
Make sure there are no lumps in the sugar and that your storage jars and leaves or flowers are completely dry. Layer the sugar and leaves in a storage jar, seal and keep in a dry, dark place for several days before opening and using.
If you are making lavender sugar, distribute the lavender buds through the sugar and seal. Sieve out the flowers before using. (If you use whole sprigs of lavender it is easier to remove than the picked flowers.)

Are Graphene Batteries the Future? – AZoNano
Posted: at 8:34 am
The most common criticism of electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones is that they take too long to charge.

Why would anyone want to drive a car requiring more than a minute of recharging? Imagine, however, an electric vehicle with a battery that charges extremely quickly and has a long driving range, or visualize a smartphone that sets in under a minute. Although it might seem impossible, the advancements in graphene batteries are bringing these possibilities to life.
Lithium-based batteries are acknowledged as one of the promising substitutes for applications in energy storage due to their high energy density. These batteries power our computers, smartphones, and even our cars.
One issue that lithium-ion battery continues to have is safety. The liquid contained within a lithium-ion battery is highly flammable. Any damage to the battery's outer layers can result in a short circuit, leading to fire and explosion. For example, in 2016, a sudden burst of smartphones caused first-degree burns to several users worldwide.
Over the last few years, lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles have received an extensive cooling system. However, this cooling system takes up lots of space that could be utilized for energy storage.
Another problem with lithium-ion batteries is recyclability. Most of the parts in lithium-ion batteries are not biocompatible, making the recyclability process very expensive.
Lastly, the battery suffers from low power density. Take an example of a smartphone: because of its high energy density, the battery will last most of the day; to recharge the device, it must be connected to another power source for an hour or more.
Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms with a relative surface area of 2,630 m2/g, which is superior at storing charges with almost no degradation over long-term cycling. The bonds in graphene give graphene more than four times the tensile strength of steel while being super transparent, flexible, and an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. These properties make graphene a suitable candidate for not only battery but also supercapacitor
However, the graphene supercapacitor cannot store as much energy as a battery, but it can be fully recharged within minutes. Hence, to overcome the low energy density of graphene supercapacitors, scientists started working on the coupling of supercapacitors and batteries as hybrid energy storage systems.
In collaboration with Graphene Manufacturing Group, researchers at the University of Queensland Australia have developed a graphene-based hybrid battery prototype. This battery uses graphene and aluminum as electrode materials and is generally referred to as a graphene aluminum battery. The battery has an energy density of 150-160 Wh/kg, and it can be charged extremely fast within 1-5 minutes.
Furthermore, graphene aluminum-ion batteries offer significant advantages in terms of battery safety, recyclability, and longer battery life (over 2000 cycles) with almost no degradation in performance.
As per the latest information, the Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG)has announced that it has manufactured its graphene aluminum-ion batteries in pouch cell format for use in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more.
According to GMG, the theoretical energy limit of these batteries is about 1050 Wh/Kg. Thus, with further development, we can soon expect to reach the energy of graphene batteries more than commercial batteries.
The watershed moment in the development of graphene hybrid batteries came at the end of 2021, when California-based companyLytenannounced that they had developed a graphene battery for electric vehicles with an energy density three times the energy density of traditional lithium-ion batteries.
These batteries are lithium-sulfur (LiS) batteries which have long been touted as the next generation of rechargeable batteries. However, the challenge with real-world applications of Li-S batteries is the formation of soluble polysulfide species during discharge cycles. These intermediate species diffuse between the anode and cathode and cause internal short circuits. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the shuttling effect, and it is responsible for the poor efficiency and quick capacity fading of the Li-S cells.
Lyten incorporated a 3D graphene membrane into the sulfur cathode to overcome this issue, which acted as an effective separator and reduced the cyclic capacity decay rate.
The product is named LytCell EV and was reported to deliver 900 Wh/kg energy density. Tests have apparently shown that a LytCell prototype can sustain more than 1,400 charge-discharge cycles.
PolyJoule, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) spin-off company, recently announced a new battery technology for high-power data center backup and power grid applications. The device is a two-electrode electrochemical cell with a carbon-graphene hybrid and a conductive polymer. The battery can discharge up to 1 MW of power in less than 10 seconds and recharge in less than five minutes. It has a voltage range of 158 V to 972 V and can operate continuously at temperatures ranging from -40 C to 50 C with minimal capacity loss.
When a Li-ion battery is shorted, it causes the battery to catch fire, which has raised concerns about its use in consumer products. This is due to the flammable electrolyte contained within the Li-ion battery. Nanotech Energy, based in the United States, has created a non-flammable graphene-based Li-ion battery pack that is both safe and environmentally friendly. They used graphene as an electrode material in their Li-battery and developed an inexpensive nonflammable electrolyte called OrganoLyteTM.
The battery is said to have an energy density of 162.5 Wh/kg and can withstand more than 1400 cycles (almost 10 years) at 80 percent capacity.
The battery is entirely fire resistant and suitable for all weather conditions. For comparison, traditional Li-batteries can only withstand 300-500 cycles (about two to three years). According to the latest updates, the company has begun taking pre-orders, and the battery may be customized for use in electric vehicles, computers, and military applications.
Tesla recently announced that their Model 3 battery has an energy density close to 260 Wh/kg. Still, it requires a complicated cooling system to prevent overheating and thus takes up a lot of space. On the other hand, because graphene batteries do not overheat or explode, there is no need for a cooling system, and the space could be used for energy-storing batteries in electric vehicles.
A breakthrough in graphene battery technology occurred when GAC Motor Co. Ltd, a Chinese automobile company, announced the launch of the AION V car, which features a graphene battery with a range of 1000 km and can be recharged to 80 percent capacity in 8 minutes. Undoubtedly the ongoing commercialization of graphene batteries will soon outperform conventional batteries for its wider adoption.

Alone: Frozen Episode 6 Recap and Review – Post Apocalyptic Media
Posted: at 8:32 am
Sharing is caring!
This is a recap and review of Episode 6 of Alone: Frozen, which takes place over days 30 25. Three contestants remain at the start of the episode.
As I expected, Callie did not go home due to stomach poisoning. Instead, we find her having a smoke bath and cleaning her clothes (using the smoke from spruce boughs, which have antibacterial properties). As she does so, she gives us more details about the tragedies in her childhood and how she chooses to undertake challenging activities to honour her lost brothers, and how these challenges help her grow and expand as a person.
After showing us what indeed is a really cool view of the wind over the water, she checks her traps. She finds a squirrel in one, which she case skins (where you remove the pelt in one piece). I never considered using a squirrel skin as a bag before this.
A few days later, she gives us a tour of her shelter, showing her collection of heart rocks and grass feathers, tools, bed, and her chair. That same evening, she plans to sleep under the stars despite the snow (though Im not sure why she pulled her sleeping stuff out of her shelter when it was still light, but maybe she goes to bed early). She survives the cold and wakes up having had a wonderful night under the stars. She did make a bet with herself, though: if there are animals in her traps that day, she plans to stay, but if they are empty, she will leave. Of course, the show ends there. Well have to wait and see whether the remaining trio becomes a duo.
We first find Woniya leaving her shelter to gather mussels. After what happened to Callies guts, my only reaction was, no!
As she gathers, she explains how her relationship with nature was her compass as a child during her parents divorce. She then shows us her huge mussel farm, which honestly boggled my mind. She explains that shes a naturalist with an MA in environmental science, so the seaside is a natural place for her to forage. On top of the mussels, she finds three sea urchins, then the sea urchin motherload.
The first morning when snow appears, its 24 degrees Fahrenheit (-4 Celsius). Woniya heads to her snares and discovers shes caught a rabbit in one. Shes super excited, and as she works on it, she explains that survivalism requires confidence in yourself to succeed, and its taken her time to build this within herself.
Michelle is not as upbeat as the other two women, but she also operates on a more even keel. She explains how shes lost 14-pounds since drop-off, which is better than the 21-pounds she had lost by this day on her last time on Alone. She adds that she is inspired by her paternal grandmother, in how hard she worked for her family.
As she heads for her snares, she spots a pair of grouse and manages to headshot one.
She heads back to her camp to clean it, telling us that she was anorexic for years, but nature was what helped her heal. To bolster her spirits, she decides to carve a chess set in the evenings. As she begins, she talks about how she is on Alone because she wants to inspire others to get involved in nature, and viewers seeing her (and not the stereotypical outdoorsman) would relay to them that they can do it too. I agree with this, as while Ive always loved nature (except for spiders), watching Alone (especially the women) has really made me want to do more wilderness camping and ensure my kids grow up with an appreciation for nature.
Im still betting on Woniya, as Callies staying on the show seems to be based on luck at this point. Though, Michelle could surprise us and be the last woman standing.
The next episode airs on Sept 22 on History Channel and StackTV.
T. S. Beier is obsessed with science fiction, the ruins of industry, and Fallout. She is the author of What Branches Grow, a post-apocalyptic novel (which was a Top 5 Finalist in the 2020 Kindle Book Awards and a semi-finalist in Hugh Howey's 2021 Self-Published Science Fiction Competition) and the Burnt Ship Trilogy (space opera). She is a book reviewer, editor, freelance writer, and co-owner of Rising Action Publishing Co. She currently lives in Ontario, Canada with her husband, two feral children, and a Shepherd-Mastiff.

Hurricane Fiona expected to bring ‘rough seas and surf’ – Myhorrynews
Posted: at 8:31 am
Hurricane Fiona is expected to stay hundreds of miles from the South Carolina coast, but could bring strong ocean swells that may impact the Myrtle Beach area, officials say.
"The rough seas and surf will continue through at least Saturday, and swells could lessen starting Sunday; however conditions may remain dangerous through early next week. How long the threat will last will depend on Fiona's track and intensity later this week and beyond," according to a tropical alert from the S.C Department of Natural Resources.
Puerto Rico will continue to experience heavy rains and "catastrophic flooding" through Monday night,according to the National Hurricane Center.As the storm is forecast to move away from Puerto Rico, it is expected to strengthen as it heads toward Turks and Caicos on Tuesday, forecasters said.
Larger swells from Fiona are forecast to approach the Carolinas later Wednesday, according to SCDNR, causing coastal South Carolina beaches to become "dangerously rough," with a high risk of rip currents. Small craft advisories will likely be issued Wednesday night, SCDNR said. A higher risk of rip currents are expected Wednesday through Friday and high surf advisory conditions are possible Thursday and Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
