Kikuko Tsumura’s “Watermill no Nene” (Mainichi Shimbun Publishing), which was serialized in the Mainichi Shimbun, was selected as second place in the 2024 Bookstore Award (sponsored by the award executive committee), which is determined by votes from booksellers nationwide. Ta. In an interview with the Mainichi Shimbun, Tsumura said, “I never expected to come in second place.I thought the Bookstore Award itself was unrelated, so being nominated was a fond memory.” Told.
“Nene of the Watermill” is a story about sisters who move to a mountain town rich in nature in order to escape from parents who neglect their children. 18-year-old Risa begins working at a soba restaurant in town, and along with her 8-year-old sister Ritsu, ends up taking care of the talkative Youmu Nene, who lives in the soba restaurant’s watermill. The 40 years of the sisters growing up while interacting with Nene and the people around them are depicted through fixed-point observation every 10 years.
Various people appear in the story, including a couple who run a soba shop, Ritsu’s friends, and their homeroom teacher, who gently lend a helping hand to the sisters depending on the situation. At the end of the series in July 2022, Tsumura said, “They are very good people, but I don’t think they are the kind of people who you would say changed your life after meeting them. “I took care to portray him as a down-to-earth person who can offer goodwill to others,” he wrote in an article for the Mainichi Shimbun. Regarding the reason for depicting good intentions within the “realistic range”: “I didn’t want to write a work where the reader would think that they would not be able to receive such benefits.I wanted to make the characters special.” There wasn’t,” he explains.
His small, not-special kindness caused a stir. Booksellers said, “What a wonderful world, where small but unwavering acts of kindness revolve around us” and “Someone’s kindness connects us gently like shiritori.” 2024” (from bookseller recommendations).
Tsumura smiles and says, “At the Bookstore Award presentation, I received a lot of POPs (from bookstore staff).All of them were good ones that reflected the real feelings of the people who read them.” Even during the series, he received messages from newspaper readers in the form of postcards and letters. “Some people said, “I cut out (the novel section) every day,” which made me really happy.”
Now, nearly two years after the series ended, Tsumura looks back and says, “I’m glad I wrote it.” When asked what message she would like to give to those who will meet “Nene of the Watermill,” she replied: “I took care to write a novel that would not inhibit the reader.The people who appear in this novel will not deny you.After reading it, I thought that interacting with people is not such a bad thing.” If you can give it to me.”
And then he continued like this. “If you interact with a lot of people, you’ll end up with at least one good person.Don’t give up after just 2 or 3 people, try interacting with as many people as you can.Someone might be a good fit, and they’ll be kind to you.” Maybe. First of all, I would like you to become friends with this book.” [Yuka Matsubara]
“Nene of the Watermill” Kikuko Tsumura’s gives a lecture “Looking for hard work”
A lecture by Kikuko Tsumura, the author who won the Junichiro Tanizaki Prize for her book “Nene of the Watermill” (Mainichi Shimbun Publishing) published this spring, was held at the City Central Library in her hometown of Osaka. The format was to answer questions submitted in advance by approximately 300 participants. The topics covered a wide range of topics, from anecdotes related to her work to her writing style.
The work was serialized in the Mainichi Shimbun for one year from July 2021. A story of sisters who escape from their selfish parents and start over in a mountain town. 18-year-old Risa leaves home with 8-year-old Ritsu and starts working at a soba restaurant with a watermill. There, the 40 years of their lives are woven together as they live their lives while supporting each other and being watched over by Nene, a talking parrot bird they meet, and the people around them.
Regarding the motifs of the watermill and the gray parrot, Tsumura said that both were “things that I wanted.” “I’ll be writing a novel for a year, so I wrote about things I like so I don’t get bored.” While writing the book, she mentioned that she was unable to do any interviews due to the coronavirus pandemic, and reflected, “It was also a job where I was trying to write as much as I could from my own memory.”
Plump naan, rich butter chicken curry, and fragrant tandoori chicken. Indian curry restaurants are well-known for their menus, but did you know that many of them are run by people from India’s neighboring country, Nepal? “Indian curry restaurants run by Nepalese” have rapidly proliferated across the country.
It is said that the “flexibility” of Nepalese people is behind the fact that it has grown to become a part of the dining out culture in Japan. What does it mean?
Is it like a chain store? “Indian curry restaurants”
”When I returned from Thailand in 2014, where I had lived for about 10 years, I had the impression that the number of Indian curry restaurants had increased considerably. Even in rural areas, I started seeing signs for Indian curry restaurants everywhere I went.”
So says Hirokazu Murohashi, a journalist who has written many books about travel and Asia. “When you walk into the restaurant, you’ll see the Nepalese flag and pictures of the Himalayas on display. It was also strange to see that the menus at all the restaurants were similar, as if they were chain restaurants.”
Speaking of “Indian curry”, naan is essential. However, in actual India, thin breads called chapattis and roti are more common. Furthermore, in Nepal, dal, a stew of beans, and rice are a staple. So, how did the familiar “Indian curry” come about? And why is it being made by Nepalis who have a different food culture? His new book, “The Mystery of the Curry Immigration” (Shueisha Shinsho), explores the reason for this.
“Haute cuisine” becomes a standard menu
When middle-aged and older people hear the term “Indian food,” they may imagine slightly more expensive foreign cuisine. “The interior is palace-style, and the servers are served by chiselled old men wearing bow ties.In the past, people had that image,” says Murohashi.
Indian cuisine really began to spread in Japan after the war. Indian owners are opening restaurants in places like Ginza, Tokyo. Trained chefs became independent, and new restaurants gradually increased. At that time, dishes such as naan, tandoori chicken, and butter chicken curry, which were considered high-class dishes in Japan, became standard menu items.
Nepalese people worked in these stores. Nepal, which has no major industry other than agriculture and tourism, is a “migrant country” with many people moving abroad to work. Many of them originally worked in the restaurant industry in neighboring India. These people started working at Indian restaurants in Japan, and eventually opened their own restaurants. In this way, the presence of Nepali-managed stores increased.
Indian curry supported by migrant workers
The number exploded in the 2000s.
The reason behind this is that the number of Nepalese living in Japan is rapidly increasing. According to the Immigration Services Agency, there are approximately 156,000 Nepalese living in Japan as of the end of June 2023. The number has increased more than 30 times in 20 years from about 5,000 people at the end of 2003. On the other hand, the number of Indians living in Japan was approximately 46,000 as of the end of June 2023, more than three times the number 20 years ago. There used to be more people than Nepalese, but that reversed in the 2010s.
Yuya Sawada (3rd year) of Hamamatsu City (Shizuoka)
What should you look for when deciding on a career path? Over the past year, Yuya Sawada (3rd year) of Hamamatsu City (Shizuoka) has been faced with a problem that many high school students face. What made her different from others was that her choice was “America.” Competing, studying, or… “What is most important to me?” After thinking about her mid- and long-distance hopes, she came up with an answer.
<“High School Ekiden: What to Watch” introduces the stories of notable male and female athletes at the National High School Ekiden, which will be held on December 24th.>
“Perfectly synchronized” with African players
In March 2023, Sawada was at Louisiana State University in the US. He traveled to the United States during spring break and toured the country’s extensive facilities, including track and field stadiums and training grounds. Armand Duplantis (Sweden), a graduate of the university and the 2021 Tokyo Olympics men’s pole vault gold medalist, happened to be there to practice, and I had the opportunity to take a commemorative photo with him. He felt firsthand the atmosphere of a sports powerhouse.
Last August, Sawada made a spectacular “world debut.” She was in the women’s 1500m final at the U20 World Championships in Colombia. She bravely attacked the African racers and she finished in 6th place. She set a good record of 4 minutes 12.87 seconds, which ranks second in Japan’s U20 history.
”His leg movements were perfectly synchronized with the Kenyan and Ethiopian athletes he ran with.” This is the testimony of Hamamatsu City coach Masahiko Sugii (60), who is also in charge of training and development for the Japan Association of Athletics Federations. The dynamic swinging motion of the hip joint generates propulsive force, and the force does not escape when the foot makes contact with the ground. It made me feel like there was great potential.
It seems that overseas track and field officials had the same expectations. After his return, he was approached by scouts from several American universities who highly valued his potential.
Student sports are popular in the United States, and it is not uncommon for universities to have professional-quality facilities. Louisiana State University was one of them, but it was one coach who captured Sawada’s heart. Coach Houston Franks teaches middle and long distance and cross country. He volunteered to act as a guide during the tour, and I was struck by how passionately he explained his coaching philosophy, which respects each player’s individuality. “He seems like a kind and nice person.”
Hamamatsu City is a preparatory school
I have always liked English. Hamamatsu City is a preparatory school, and Sawada was considering a foreign language department at a Japanese university as one of his career options. He was also interested in studying abroad, unrelated to competitions, and had a vague idea of “a job that uses English” as his future vision.
However, it took some time to make up my mind. The heat damage he sustained at the World Cross Country Championships in Australia in February of this year was hard to shake off, and he subsequently hurt his left shin. The summer national high school competition to determine the “best high school in Japan” will be absent. She had lost confidence and thought, “The world is far away.”
“I run alone, but I’m not alone.”
It was the sight of his predecessors that pushed him forward in Hamamatsu City.
One day in summer. I happened to watch a program introducing Kitaguchi Shinka (25) (JAL), who won the gold medal in the women’s javelin throw at this year’s World Championships.
When Kitaguchi was in a slump as a student, he asked a coach from the Czech Republic, a major javelin thrower, to coach him and made his breakthrough across the ocean. He is a senior member of the Japan Athletics Federation’s “Diamond Athlete” team, which trains the next generation of promising athletes, and he seemed similar in some way to me, who was thinking of taking on challenges overseas.
“What is most important to me?”
I asked myself this question again. What came to mind was the presence that made me stronger in Hamamatsu City.
During my junior high school days, I belonged to the basketball club. Ryota Swayanagi (35), the track and field club advisor, recognized his athletic ability, and he joined the multi-club “ekiden club” in his first year. He received “practice that seems impossible, but if you try hard, you can do it,” and was happy to be praised for achieving his goals.
In high school, he was taught by Coach Sugii, who respects the independence of players, and honed his speed, which led to him competing on the world stage.
”I’ve been blessed with good coaches so far. I think it’s better to focus on meeting people when choosing a university.” With that conclusion, I decided to attend Louisiana State University.
Enrollment is expected in fall 2024. In order to enroll her, she is required to achieve a certain level of English proficiency, and she is currently studying for that. Even after entering university, it is essential to balance it with schoolwork, but he is enthusiastic and says, “I want to learn various things.”
This will be his first participation in the National High School Ekiden in two years. Having learned the joy of running, I have a strong passion for relay races. in Hamamatsu City.
”Even when I’m having a hard time, I can do my best knowing that my friends are waiting for me. I run alone, but I’m not alone.”
I intend to firmly pass on the sash of courage to my juniors. [Hiroshi Ishikawa]
In the Nihon Shoki, which was completed during the Nara period, there are a total of 33 descriptions of emperors and other people of the time who may have had congenital abnormalities, and a research group at Kyoto University says in a paper that they can be roughly divided into five types. Summarized and announced. There are very few studies of ancient history from a medical perspective, and Sayaka Higashijima, special assistant professor at Kyoto University’s Hakubi Center, says, “The Shoki is an ancient medical record.In the future, we will also include historical books from China and the Korean Peninsula as research subjects. “I would like to work on elucidating the reality of birth defects in ancient East Asia.”
Congenital abnormalities are physical or functional abnormalities that are present at birth, and there are multiple causes, including chromosomes, genes, and the environment. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 6% of newborns have some kind of birth defect.
Higashijima and Professor Shigeto Yamada of the Kyoto University
Higashijima and Professor Shigeto Yamada of the Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine read the Shoki, extracted and analyzed unique descriptions of physical and functional characteristics of emperors from Jimmu, who is said to be the first emperor, to the 41st Emperor Jito. , tried to diagnose. Although there are problems with the authenticity of some older accounts, there are 10 cases of height abnormalities, 6 cases of excessive tissue or organ formation, 6 cases of language or behavioral abnormalities, and unusual facial or body appearance. The cases were classified into 5 types: 6 cases with characteristics and 3 cases with pigment abnormalities. There were also two other cases.
For example, the son of the 12th Emperor Keiko, Yamato Takeru no Mikoto, and his son, the 14th Emperor Chuai, are described as being about 3 meters tall. It is recorded in the “Kojiki” that Emperor Keiko was also tall, and Higashijima et al. “Although the numbers are exaggerated, it is realistic to think that the height of three generations of parents and descendants is a genetic trait.”Emperor Chuai. Given his tall stature and sudden death, there is a possibility that he had Marfan syndrome, a genetic disease.”
Emperor Ojin birth
At birth, Emperor Ojin (the 15th generation) had a lump of flesh on his forearm. Because he lived a long life, the doctor said, “It is likely that the cause was lymphatic malformation rather than malignancy.”
The 30-year-old prince of the 11th Emperor Suinin was said to be “unable to speak” and “cries like a baby all the time,” leading to speculation that he may have a speech impediment. Taking into consideration the fact that he was obsessed with playing with swans and was eventually able to speak, Higashijima and his colleagues determined that there was a high possibility that he had autism.
The 21st Emperor Yuryaku and the 25th Emperor Buretsu were easily enraged and exhibited behavioral abnormalities in which they committed murder, and Emperor Yuryaku was said to have suffered from intermittent explosive disorder, a type of impulsivity based solely on descriptions. I saw it as a possibility. While it is possible to decipher the existence of genetic influences on his grandson, Emperor Buretsu, in order to emphasize the legitimacy of Emperor Keitai, who ascended the throne next, the Shoki contradicts conventional historical research that depicts Emperor Buretsu as a tyrant. I also touched on it.
Droopy Noses
Local people who resisted the imperial court were described as having “droopy noses,” “pointy faces,” and “hairy people.” However, Higashijima and his colleagues concluded, “It is not related to congenital abnormalities. It stems from people’s feelings of formidability and contempt.”
It was written that the 22nd Emperor Seinei was “born with gray hair,” pointing out the possibility of albinism, which is caused by a decline in melanin pigment biosynthesis.
Higashijima is a “tail researcher” who majored in zooarchaeology at Nara Women’s University, then switched to science and studied anthropology and anatomy at Kyoto University Graduate School. Her current research started because she remembered an account in the Shoki that “Emperor Jimmu met two humans with tails.” After about two and a half years of research, they came to believe that their tails were “rather than representing some kind of congenital abnormality, they were a metaphor for other facts, such as a symbol of power.” [Kento Hayakawa]
For the most part, improving home security usually entails changing or rekeying door locks. Therefore, should you opt for the latter alternative, knowledge of how to rekey a lock will come in handy. The following guide streamlines the process and provides a practical step-by-step approach to rekeying locks for your home.
The rekeying a lock process can be more straightforward when you have at least some basic knowledge of how traditional locks operate using pins and tumblers.
Understanding the process that locks go through to be rekeyed and to change door locks can help you understand and learn the process of rekeying your locks without having to pay a relatively cheap amount to have a locksmith do it for you. Here is another guide on the subject.
Detailed Steps to Rekey a Lock
Preparing for Rekeying
The very first step to rekey a lock is to get a rekeying kit specific to the brand of your lock. These have everything, even different-sized pins, and a key gauge for ease.
Removal of the Lock Components
The process of rekeying locks by a locksmith begins with removing the doorknob, which generally requires the knob to be unscrewed through some holes on the sides of the knob using a tool. After this, the cylinder is to be removed from the knob assembly for disassembling.
The Rekeying Process
On the other hand, use that hand, which previously had the follower tube, to pull the key plug and the follower tube out of the cylinder with the c-clip. This, in turn, allows you to dump out the old pins and install new ones according to the specifications of your new key. It is a precise process to ensure the new key properly operates the lock.
Reassembling and Testing
Installation of all the new pins is followed by the insertion of the plug in the cylinder, and after that, the knob is attached to the door again. Now, you have to put your new key in to test a couple of times that your rekey has been successful.
Rekeying a Deadbolt
The deadbolt works on much the same principle as the doorknob. If it’s the same brand as the deadbolt, then deadbolt rekeying is quite simple and allows you to have a unified key system throughout your house.
Deciding Between Rekeying and Changing Door Locks
In some cases, changing the door lock rather than rekeying would be better. For example, wearing locks or updating the house’s appearance calls for the replacement of locks. Other instances include a condition where you have locks with different brands and want them to have just one key; you should change all your door locks to just one brand before rekeying.
Conclusion
Information on how to rekey a lock and when to change door locks remain two of the key points to maintaining the necessity of security and convenience in a home.
The post has looked at an extensive overview of the process, from which the reader learned about lock mechanics and the step-by-step instructions required to rekey doorknobs and deadbolts. With these guidelines, your home locks will be bound to meet your security requirements without having to replace them extensively.

Check the Door Lock Rating
The ANSI door lock system can be graded into three categories. You need to check this before you buy a door lock. Grade 3 is considered the weakest and least secure. You might choose this lock for basic hardware security, but you wouldn’t use this as a front door lock replacement because it won’t provide you with adequate protection. They were meant for non-high security situations. Grade 2 is typically what you want for a residential application. It doesn’t cost as much as a Grade 1 lock, and it provides you with a deadbolt. Grade 1 was mostly meant for commercial purposes, and you don’t encounter it as much in the residential area as a front door lock replacement.
Choose a Budget
The higher security locks may provide you with better security, but they will typically cost more. You need to determine if a high-security lock would even make sense. In some cases, you live in a safer area, so you don’t need the highest security lock. You want the best that you can afford, but you have to think about the return on investment, and what you’re protecting inside the home. Keeping a budget will ensure that you stay on track with how to pick the best door lock.
Is Smart Lock a Good Choice?
Smart locks have risen in popularity in recent years because of convenience. They light up in the dark, and instead of needing to carry keys on you, you can simply type in a code to enter your home. You do want to choose one with top-notch security features including on the technology front because these locks have an extra vulnerability to hackers.

If you want home security without so much technology, then learn some of the ways a professional locksmith can help secure your home without the need to install a whole security system.
Front Door Locks
A proper front door lock offers the first line of defense against intruders and proper security for your home. The installation of a deadbolt can provide extra strength and security to a front door. If needed, you could install multiple deadbolts and add extra protection for your front door area.
The installation of door reinforcements will add extra protection to the door as well. The reinforcements typically include steel barriers that go between the door and the door frame. The theft-proof reinforcements install over areas like the hinges, screws, and locks to prevent forcible entry through the doors. The added protection can also protect your door in case of any damage from a potential intruder.
Window Lock Protection
Windows are another vulnerable area, but you can find multiple ways to offer protection for your home. Window security locks replace a typical window latch with a key-based latch. Only a key can unlock the latch to allow a window to open and shut.
If you have sliding windows, then consider the installation of a sliding window lock that prevents the windows from sliding open and also works with a key. These types of window locks provide relatively cheap ways to secure your home and you do not have to face the burden of monthly security system costs.
Basement Doors and Other Entryways
If you’ve wondered how to protect your home without a security system, then you also have to consider alternative entries to your home. If you have bulkhead doors connected to a basement, then you have multiple options for added protection and some additional cheap ways to secure your home.
On the inside of a bulkhead door, a locksmith can install a security lock bar. The lock bar holds the bulkhead doors securely in place and prevents excessive pulling, tugging, or weakening of the doors. On the outside, you can secure bulkhead door handles with the use of a high-security padlock.
High security padlock options include core-hardened lock bodies, shackle guards to prevent cutting tool access, and corrosion-resistant materials so the lock can handle all different forms of weather. As you learn how to protect your home without a security system, these advanced locks can come in handy in other areas as well. Consider a high-security padlock for shed doors or other doors you do not use regularly.
With all of these security elements, you will not need to rely on technology like sensors or cameras. The hardware will do the hard work on its own and offer your home protection. With the help of a professional locksmith, you can ensure all of the equipment is installed correctly and the one-time service can help you stay secure while saving you a lot of money in the long run.

The more care that you give to your locks, the more likely they are to last. A lock that sticks or doesn’t work can cause frustrating situations and lead to you spending more money than you want to spend to have that lock replaced. Regular maintenance and upkeep helps ensure the longevity of your locks.
When a lock is properly lubricated, it should lock and unlock smoothly. If you feel that it is taking more effort than it should to use your door’s lock, consider spraying a lubricating product into the lock. Lubricating the hinges on your door can also help with lock issues and keep the door easy to use. Consider lubrication when you notice a lock problem, but also plan on lubricating the locks at least once a year even if you don’t notice anything going on.
Never Force a Key into a Lock
When it comes to lock maintenance, you have to think about what you can do daily to keep from messing up your locks as you use them. Jamming a key into a lock can cause damage to the lock. Instead of forcing a key in, take a moment to make sure that you are using the correct key and that you are inserting it correctly. Be gentle as you stick the key into the lock; if it doesn’t work as it should, there is probably something going on with the lock that has nothing to do with the key.
Clean the Lock
It is important to clean your lock regularly, as all kinds of dust and grime can collect inside of it. Spraying canned air into the keyhole can clear away some of the dirt that is inside, and this is something that you should do on a fairly regular basis. Using a soft cloth to wipe off the deadbolt and the door’s hinges can also keep your lock working well. Take a moment to look over all components of the door’s lock system and figure out what needs to be cleaned and how you can clean that without causing any damage.
Be Gentle on the Door
Sticking locks on doors can be the result of abuse to the door and its locks. Don’t slam the door when you head outside, as doing that can rattle the lock and cause it to stop working. Don’t push hard against the door, as you might mess up the hinges or the way that the lock sits on the door. Treat your door well so that it and its locks will last.
Get Professional Help When a Lock Isn’t Working Right
If you have done all that you can to keep up with lock maintenance work but you are still having issues with your lock, you might need professional help. A locksmith can look over the lock and see if it needs to be replaced or if there is additional maintenance work that you should be focusing on.
Discovering that you have locked keys in the trunk is a hassle, preventing you from going about your plans for the day until a solution is found. After all, without your keys, you may not be able to get into the car and travel to your next destination. You may have essentials stored in your trunk that you need to access right away. Do you need to know how to unlock the trunk with keys locked inside? Several effective solutions are available.
If you have locked keys in the trunk and can still get into the cabin, there may be an easy solution. In most cars, there is a trunk release button located around the steering wheel or on the driver’s side door. In some vehicles, the trunk release button is in the glove box or hidden underneath the steering wheel. If you cannot locate your car’s trunk release button, search your owner’s manual or online for information specific to your make and model.
Gain Access Through the Window
In some cases, the doors are locked, but one of the windows is down. If the opening is large enough, you or a smaller person nearby could climb through the window to unlock the door. If the window opening is too small to climb through, you could find a long, slender object to press on the unlock button. Once the car door is unlocked, you can then search for the trunk release button.
Pull Down the Rear Seats
An alternative to using the release button is to fold down your rear seats. In many cars, there is a release button at the top of the back row of seats that enables the fold-down feature. Other vehicles have a manual system where you pull on a latch. If you can pull down rear seats, you will have full access to your trunk and the keys.
Use Your Spare Keys
Do you have an extra set of keys in your house or with another driver who you share the vehicle with? If the keys are not handy, ask someone to bring them to your location. You can then pop the trunk open with the spare key and access the first set of keys.
Call a Locksmith
While many people who are dealing with locked keys in the trunk have a few relatively easy solutions available given their specific circumstances, none of these options may work for you. If you have no other way to open the trunk and retrieve the keys, you should contact an emergency locksmith. The locksmith can open the trunk and car doors for you. While the locksmith is there, you can request a spare set of keys be made as well.
Your daily activities will come to a standstill when your keys are locked in the trunk. While this can seem like a major setback, you can see that there are actually several options available. Carefully review your circumstances to identify the best fix for your situation.
When gambling, understanding the game rules and limits is essential. Both novice and experienced gamblers need to comprehend the limits imposed on transactions—specifically, deposits, withdrawals, and the amounts you can stake on a single bet. Understanding Gambling Limits Gambling limits are an essential aspect of the industry’s regulatory measures, designed to promote responsible gambling and mitigate financial risks for both casinos and players. These limits vary widely among different casinos and platforms. They are influenced by regulatory requirements and operational policies. Deposit Limits A key measure to control gambling expenditure is through deposit limits. These are caps set on the amount of money a player can deposit into their gambling account within a certain timeframe. For instance, depositing 20 dollars might be the minimum threshold at one casino, while others may set higher or lower limits based on their policy or regulatory obligations. ● Minimum Deposit Limits: These are the least amounts you can deposit into your gambling account. Casinos set these limits to manage transaction costs and ensure that engaging in play is worth the financial operations involved.
● Maximum Deposit Limits: In contrast, maximum deposit limits are established to promote responsible gaming. These measures act as a protective mechanism, ensuring that players maintain control over their financial commitments by setting a cap on the amount they can deposit within a specified timeframe. Withdrawal Limits Similarly, withdrawal limits dictate the maximum amount that can be cashed out from a casino account, serving both to protect the casino’s financial health and to comply with anti-money laundering laws. These limits can greatly affect a player’s strategy, especially for high rollers who might find themselves constrained by the limits. Withdrawal limits vary widely, with some casinos imposing daily, weekly, or monthly caps. Staking Limits Staking limits are the predefined caps on the amount a player can wager on a single bet. Their importance cannot be overstated, as they: ● Ensure Fair Play: By limiting the maximum bet, casinos maintain a level playing field for all players. ● Protect Players: According to Michael Auer, Sigrun Høvik Reiestad, and Mark D. Griffiths, establishing limits supports players in making mindful decisions, reducing the risk of high-stake bets. Differences in staking limits are notable when comparing slot machines, often allowing for lower stakes, to table games, which may require higher minimum bets. Online casinos typically offer a broader range of staking limits than their brick-and-mortar counterparts due to lower operational costs. Regulatory Influences on Gambling Limits Regulatory bodies play a significant role in setting gambling limits. Jurisdictions have unique laws and regulations that dictate the operation of casinos and gambling platforms, influencing the minimum and maximum limits for deposits, withdrawals, and stakes. For instance, some regions may impose lower maximum deposit limits to promote responsible gambling, while others might focus on flexible withdrawal limits to enhance customer satisfaction. Operator Discretion and Player Preferences Beyond regulatory requirements, gambling operators may adjust limits based on their business model, risk management strategies, and target audience. High rollers, for example, might find casinos that offer higher deposit and betting limits, catering to their preference for high-stakes gambling.
Additionally, some casinos allow players to set their limits, which empowers individuals to manage their gambling proactively. This flexibility helps promote a responsible gambling culture, allowing players to tailor their experience according to personal financial limits. The Impact of Limits on Gambling Behavior The imposition of these limits has a notable impact on gambling behavior, encouraging a more responsible approach to betting. They instill a sense of discipline, urging players to adopt a strategic approach to gambling. Furthermore, research indicates that players who proactively set personal gambling limits tend to maintain a balanced approach to gaming. Navigating Gambling Limits For gamblers, understanding and respecting these limits is key to enjoying the gambling experience. Here are several strategies to help navigate these restrictions: ● Setting Personal Limits: Implementing personal deposit, withdrawal, and staking limits enhances the player’s experience by fostering an environment where they can enjoy gambling activities within a manageable and predetermined budget, ensuring the experience remains enjoyable and sustainable. ● Utilizing Casino Tools: Numerous casinos provide resources to assist players in managing their gaming activities effectively, including options to set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on deposits and stakes. Gambling limits are not intended to diminish the thrill of the game but to enhance it by ensuring it remains a form of entertainment. Whether it’s starting with a low deposit amount or setting a limit on how much you’re willing to wager on blackjack, these financial boundaries play a vital role in ensuring a smooth betting experience. By incorporating limits into their gambling strategy, players can enjoy the excitement of betting with the confidence that their financial well-being is protected. This balanced approach to gambling ensures that it remains a fun, enjoyable activity. For anyone looking to dive into the world of online gambling, understanding and adhering to these limits is a step toward a rewarding and sustainable gambling experience.
The diversity of wood species makes it possible to use all different types of wood for furniture. It can make the choice between wood types for your furniture feel overwhelming. There are so many options and each one has its own strengths and weaknesses.
When choosing from several furniture wood types, there are different things to consider with each type. Let’s delve into the unique characteristics of wood.
Hardness
One of the most important considerations when choosing wood for furniture is the hardness of the wood. Hardwoods like oak, cherry, and maple are known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear. Softwoods such as cedar, teak, or pine can be chosen when the insect and moisture-repellent properties are most important. Cedar, in particular, is a great choice for outdoor furniture because it has a natural resistance to both insects and moisture. This is also why cedar and pine are often used in bathrooms or closets to help keep insects and mold away. However, they cannot withstand the same weight distribution that hardwood furniture can and they are less likely to last as long as hardwood furniture. You may want to consult a furniture maker to understand which hardness level would make the most sense for you and your home.
Grain Variation and Color
Another important factor when choosing wood for your furniture is to look at the grain variation on the furniture wood type. Walnut is often chosen when people want a rich, dark hue with a sophisticated grain pattern. Oak offers more of a medium tone with an equally sophisticated, striking grain pattern.
A pale tone such as ash or birch can be perfect for custom furniture designs because the furniture maker can use the limited grain and neutral pale color as a clean slate for creating their finishes and stains. Lighter woods tend to have more subtle grain patterns and darker woods tend to have more pronounced grain patterns.
Color is an equally important factor for some. The visual aesthetic comes primarily from the combination of grain variation and color. Cherry and mahogany offer warm, reddish-brown tones and tend to deepen over time. Walnut offers a rich, dark chocolate tone. Maple and birch offer lighter, neutral bases and are great for adding stains. Oak is often the preferred color when a medium tone is wanted and a wide variation of grain pattern. There are many more wood color and grain choices that can all be viewed at your local furniture shop.
Furniture Usage
How you intend to use your furniture matters when choosing from different types of wood for your furniture. Hardwoods are great for furniture that is going to be used with a lot of weight such as couch frames, tables, chairs, dressers, and armoires. Softwoods are great for furniture that needs to repel insects and moisture such as cabinetry in a bathroom or shelves in a closet.
Considering the types of wood for furniture is an important decision. Take your time to review what you want and consider the pros and cons of each wood type. After all, it’s your home and you should feel confident in your decision.

Have you ever smelled someone walking by and felt like you just arrived at the beach? Or a certain smell reminds you of a good friend? Scents have power to transport you to different places and times.For some people, perfume is way more than a nice smell. They’re totally into it. We call these folks “fragrance fans” or “perfumista”. They love perfume like other people love music. Perfumistas will spend hours testing all the scents at stores. Or their perfume collection is bigger than their shoe collection! If testing and collecting different smells sounds fun to you, you might be a perfumista too.
Let me give you a look inside the world of these fragrance lovers. I’ll explain what makes them so into perfume. And how they pick their favorites. I’ll also tell you about popular perfumes like Ariana Grande’s Cloud and billie eilish perfume. Maybe you’ll find a new hobby exploring your own favorite smells! Come on in and I’ll tell you all about these intriguing perfume people.
Who is a Perfumista?
Okay so have you ever met someone who is just completely bonkers about smells? Like, they genuinely get a kick out of spending hours sniffing different perfumes and chatting your ear off about all the little notes and things you can pick up in a scent? Yeah, their perfume collection would make any department store jealous – that’s what I like to call a hardcore perfumista.
A perfumista is a person who takes their love of fragrances to the max. It’s not just about liking the way something smells, they are dead serious about it. These folks can really break down a scent for you and tell you every little ingredient. Whether it’s flowery notes, citrus, whatever – they eat that stuff up.
And it’s not enough for them to have a couple bottles on their bathroom counter. Oh hell no, their collection is next level. We’re talking perfumes for any occasion or mood you can think of. Maybe even some hard-to-find vintage bottles they stumbled on somewhere. I knew this one lady who collects based on the different seasons! Can you even imagine being that into perfume?
But what really separates a perfumista is how they see making perfume as a true art. They’ve got real respect for how much skill it takes to blend all those ingredients into something one-of-a-kind. It’s not just about smelling good, there’s genuine artistry there if you think about it.
So next time you spray on a scent, think about how a perfumista would analyze it. They turn their nose up to expertise with fragrances, ya know? That’s what makes a perfumista so damn fun if you ask me!
Anatomy of a Perfume
Perfume smell is made up of different layers that change over time. These layers work together to give the perfume its scent.The first layer is the “top notes.” These are the light smells you notice at first. They don’t last long, only 15-30 minutes. Things like citrus or herb smells are usually in the top notes.
Once the top notes start to go away, the “heart notes” come through. The heart notes make up the main smell of the perfume. Flowers, spices, or fruits are common heart notes. They last a few hours so you can smell them a while.
The “base notes” are the last layer. They give the perfume depth and last the longest, a few hours. Think richer smells like musk and vanilla in the base notes.
The neat thing is how these layers change as time passes. The light top notes fade so the heart notes can be smelled more. And the base notes anchor the whole scent from beginning to end.
Rather than one single smell, perfume has layers that blend together and shift. This makes the smell develop differently on your skin as time goes on. The different parts work as a team to give perfume its evolving scent.
The Olfactory Pyramid: A Visual Guide
Perfumers often use the olfactory pyramid to represent this layering. It’s a triangle with the widest part at the top for the initial top notes. The pyramid narrows as it descends to the heart notes, and then to a smaller base for the long-lasting base notes.
The olfactory pyramid isn’t always perfectly balanced, but it offers a general idea of a fragrance’s development. It’s a roadmap for your olfactory adventure!
Perfume Families: Exploring Fragrance Categories
Just like personalities, fragrances have distinct profiles categorized into families based on their dominant notes. Here are some major families:
Floral: The most popular, featuring notes like rose, jasmine, and lavender, often described as feminine and romantic.
Oriental: Warm and spicy with notes like amber, vanilla, and incense, often described as mysterious and luxurious.
Citrus: Refreshing and invigorating with notes like lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot, perfect for daytime or warmer weather.
Woody: Earthy and grounding with notes like sandalwood, cedarwood, and vetiver, often described as masculine or unisex, and can be calming.
These are just a few examples, and there’s a whole world of fragrance families to explore!
A Perfumista’s Guide to Building a Fragrance Wardrobe
For a perfumista, a fragrance collection is more than just a vanity display. It’s a curated wardrobe that suits different moods, occasions, and even seasons. Here’s how to build a versatile and personalized fragrance collection:
Understanding Your Preferences:
The foundation of your perfume wardrobe lies in personal preference. Do you gravitate towards light and fresh scents, or do you prefer deeper, more mysterious aromas? Exploring different fragrance families (floral, oriental, citrus, etc.) is a great way to discover what resonates with you.
Occasion & Season:
A single fragrance might not be suitable for every situation. For daytime wear, you might prefer a light and refreshing scent like citrus or a clean floral. Evening occasions might call for something more sophisticated, like a rich oriental or a heady floral. Similarly, consider seasonality. Heavy, musky fragrances can feel overwhelming in hot weather, while lighter scents might disappear too quickly in colder months.
Body Chemistry:
An important, yet often overlooked factor is your body chemistry. How a perfume interacts with your skin can significantly alter its scent. Test fragrances on your skin (not just a paper strip) and see how they evolve throughout the day. Some notes might become amplified, while others might disappear completely.
Building Your Collection:
With these factors in mind, start building a collection that offers variety.
Essentials: Every wardrobe needs a few staples. A fresh citrus scent is perfect for everyday wear, while a more sophisticated option can elevate your evening look. Consider including a versatile floral fragrance that can be dressed up or down.
Mood Boosters: Perfume can be a powerful mood enhancer. A bright citrus scent can energize you on a sluggish morning, while a calming lavender fragrance could help you unwind after a stressful day.
Seasonal Scents: Embrace the changing seasons with a dedicated perfume wardrobe. A light floral or a crisp citrus scent might be perfect for spring and summer, while a warm, spicy fragrance can add comfort during fall and winter.
Here comes the Scent Layering:
For the adventurous perfumista, scent layering unlocks a whole new world of olfactory experiences. Layering involves combining two or more fragrances to create a unique, personalized scent. Here are some tips:
Start Simple: Begin by layering similar fragrance families. For example, combine a citrus scent with a complementary floral note.
Experiment with Notes: Play around with different notes to create unexpected yet harmonious combinations. A light musk can add depth to a fresh floral scent, while a touch of citrus can brighten a heavier oriental fragrance.
Less is More: Layering is about creating a subtle, unified scent, not overpowering the senses. Start with small spritzes of each fragrance and allow them to blend naturally on your skin.
Celebrity Perfumes
Celebrity perfumes have become a billion-dollar industry, with A-listers lending their names (and faces) to an ever-growing selection of scents. But what exactly is the appeal, and how do these fragrances stack up against the creations of niche perfumeries?
The Rise of the Celebrity Scent
The phenomenon of celebrity perfumes exploded in the late 1980s. Singers like Elizabeth Taylor and actresses like Elizabeth Arden capitalized on their fame, offering fans a chance to possess a piece of their idol’s image in a bottle. Today, celebrities like Ariana Grande (Cloud) and Billie Eilish (Eilish) continue this tradition.
Celebrity fragrances have a significant impact on the perfume industry. Their aggressive marketing campaigns, often featuring the celebrity themselves, generate widespread awareness and drive sales. This exposure can introduce a younger generation to the world of fragrance, potentially sparking a lifelong interest in scents.
Mass Appeal vs. Niche perfumes
While celebrity endorsements can be a powerful marketing tool, there are key differences between these mainstream fragrances and niche perfumes:
Target Audience: Celebrity perfumes primarily target fans and those drawn to the celebrity’s image. Niche perfumes, on the other hand, cater to fragrance enthusiasts who prioritize unique scents and high-quality ingredients.
Concept: Celebrity fragrances often rely on broad themes like “youthful” or “sexy” for their marketing. Niche perfumes, however, might be inspired by specific emotions, places, or even historical periods. The focus is often on a more artistic and nuanced concept.
Price Point: Celebrity perfumes are generally more affordable, making them accessible to a wider audience. Niche perfumes, due to their focus on high-quality ingredients and smaller production runs, often have a higher price tag.
Celebrity fragrances might be a gateway to the world of perfume, but for discerning perfumistas, the appeal lies deeper. Niche houses offer a more personalized experience, with perfumers often considered artists who pour their creativity into each scent. Additionally, niche perfumes often have a stronger focus on natural ingredients and unique olfactory experiences, catering to those who crave something beyond the mainstream.
Exploring Popular Perfume Brands
The world of fragrance offers a diverse playground for perfumistas, from the established names of luxury fashion houses to the innovative creations of niche perfumeries. Each category caters to a distinct clientele and offers a unique approach to scent.
Designer Houses
Luxury fashion houses like Valentino extend their brand identity beyond clothing with captivating designer perfumes. These fragrances often show the brand’s aesthetic, creating a cohesive experience for fashion-conscious consumers. Take Valentino’s Voce Viva for example. Its marketing campaign features high-fashion imagery and celebrates female empowerment, mirroring the brand’s focus on luxury and sophistication. The scent profile itself, a vibrant floral bouquet grounded by woody notes, reflects this elegance.
Designer perfumes typically target a specific clientele – those who appreciate luxury and brand recognition. They often prioritize quality ingredients and utilize renowned perfumers, but the emphasis remains on creating a scent that aligns with the brand’s image. This can be a great way for perfumistas to discover fragrances that complement their personal style and love for high fashion.
Niche Houses
For perfumistas seeking a more adventurous olfactory experience, niche houses offer a haven. These independent perfumeries prioritize artistic expression and unique scent profiles over mass appeal. Unlike designer houses, niche brands often have a smaller production scale, allowing them to use rarer and more expensive ingredients.
Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 exemplifies the niche approach. This playful fragrance features a captivating blend of pistachio, salted caramel, and warm vanilla – a combination rarely found in mainstream perfumes. The marketing itself focuses on capturing the essence of a Brazilian summer, transporting the wearer to a specific atmosphere. This focus on artistic expression and unique olfactory experiences is a hallmark of niche perfumery.
Niche houses often cater to a more knowledgeable clientele – perfumistas who appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship behind each scent. The focus is on the fragrance itself, offering a chance to explore unusual notes and innovative combinations.
Popular Perfumes for the Discerning Perfumista
The world of fragrance offers a wide range of choices, from the widely popular celebrity endorsements and designer brands to the more exclusive creations of niche perfumeries.
While both categories have their appeal, discerning perfumistas often look beyond the mainstream, seeking unique experiences and high-quality ingredients. Here, we’ll talk about a few popular options, analyzing their hold on both casual wearers and fragrance enthusiasts.
Ariana Grande’s Cloud (Appealing to Young Fans and Curious Perfumistas)
Ariana Grande’s signature scent, Cloud, is a commercial juggernaut. Its marketing strategy leverages her massive fanbase, with fluffy visuals and a sugary-sweet gourmand fragrance profile.
Vanilla, marshmallow, and a touch of lavender create a playful, whimsical scent experience.
While some perfumistas might find it overly simplistic, Cloud offers a light and accessible escape for casual wearers. However, the use of high-quality ingredients like real vanilla extract might pique the interest of a curious perfumista, sparking their exploration of the gourmand fragrance family.
Valentino Voce Viva (A Bridge Between Classic and Contemporary)
Valentino’s Voce Viva embodies the brand’s luxurious aesthetic, featuring high-fashion imagery and celebrating female empowerment in its marketing campaign.
The fragrance profile itself is a vibrant floral bouquet featuring Italian jasmine and orange blossom, grounded by woody base notes of iris and moss.
Compared to a niche perfume, Voce Viva offers a more classic, elegant floral experience.
However, its focus on high-quality ingredients and the unique pairing of a classic floral accord with a modern woody base creates a sophisticated and intriguing option that can appeal to both established perfumistas and those new to exploring designer interpretations.
Billie Eilish’s Eilish (For the Perfumistas Who Crave the Unconventional)
Eilish, Billie Eilish’s debut perfume, takes a bold approach that defies categorization. The marketing campaign is dark and edgy, reflecting the singer’s personal style.
The fragrance itself is a unique blend of amber, vanilla, and mandarin, with a woody base of musk.
This unconventional combination creates a more personal and intriguing scent experience than typical celebrity fragrances.
While it might be commercially risky, this focus on a unique scent profile is exactly what attracts perfumistas seeking something beyond the mainstream. For them, Eilish offers a chance to explore the captivating world of amber and woody orientals, often a staple in niche perfumery.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62
Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 exemplifies a niche perfume experience. The brand focuses on capturing the essence of a Brazilian summer through vibrant, playful marketing that evokes sunny beaches and tropical cocktails. The scent profile lives up to the promise, featuring a captivating blend of pistachio, salted caramel, and warm vanilla.
Compared to a designer perfume, Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 offers a more daring and playful scent experience, with gourmand elements rarely found in mainstream fragrances.
This unique approach and focus on capturing a specific atmosphere are what make it a favorite among perfumistas seeking something different. For those who enjoy the sweet and savory combination of gourmand notes, Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 offers a delightful escape to a tropical paradise.

Does perfume expire?
Yes, perfume does expire, but the exact shelf life can vary depending on several factors:
Ingredients: Perfumes with natural ingredients like essential oils tend to expire faster (around 2-3 years) than those with mostly synthetic ingredients (which can last up to 5-10 years).
Storage: Heat, light, and air can degrade a perfume faster. To maximize shelf life, store your perfumes in a cool, dark place, ideally in their original box. Avoid storing them in bathrooms where they’ll be exposed to humidity and temperature fluctuations.
How to make perfume?
Making your own perfume at home can be a fun thing to do. Let me tell you some basic steps to make your own perfume at home:
Ingredients:
Carrier Oil (1/4 cup): Choose a lightweight oil that absorbs well into the skin, like jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, or grape seed oil.
Alcohol (optional, 1/4 cup): Perfumer’s alcohol (high-proof vodka can be a substitute) helps the fragrance diffuse and thins the perfume for easier application.
Essential Oils (25-30 drops total): This is where your creativity comes in! Play around with different essential oils to create your desired scent profile. Here’s a breakdown of notes to consider:
Top Notes (evaporate quickly): citrus (lemon, bergamot), mint, lavender
Middle Notes (form the heart of the fragrance): floral (rose, jasmine), herbal (rosemary, clary sage), spicy (cinnamon, clove)
Base Notes (linger the longest): musk, sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver
Distilled Water (optional, 1/4 cup): If you don’t use alcohol, water can help dilute the essential oils.
Glass Jar and Funnel
Coffee Filter (for straining)
Small Perfume Bottles (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare your workspace: Choose a clean, well-ventilated area.
Sterilize your tools: Wash and dry your jar, funnel, and perfume bottles (if using) with hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly with alcohol.
Measure your carrier oil: Pour 1/4 cup of your chosen carrier oil into the jar.
Add essential oils (optional alcohol): If using alcohol, add 1/4 cup first. Then, following your chosen recipe or personal preference, add your essential oils drop by drop. Start with a small amount and write down how many drops of each oil you use, so you can recreate your scent if you like it.
Swirl and Dilute (optional): Swirl the mixture gently to combine the ingredients. If you’re not using alcohol, add 1/4 cup of distilled water at this point. Water and essential oils don’t always mix well, so you might see some separation.
Let it mature: Close the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 48 hours, ideally longer (up to 6 weeks) to allow the scents to meld. Swirl the jar gently every day or so.
Strain and bottle: After maturation, use a coffee filter to strain the perfume into your desired container.
Does pheromone perfume work?
Humans do produce pheromones, chemical signals that can influence the behavior of others. However, their role in human attraction is not fully understood.
The pheromones used in most perfumes are synthetic versions of human pheromones, but they are often single molecules, while natural pheromones are a complex blend.
Studies on the effectiveness of pheromone perfumes in attracting others are inconclusive. Some studies show a slight positive effect, while others show no effect at all.
How to make perfume last longer?
Here are some of my tried and tested tips to extend the life of your perfume:
Like makeup, fragrance performs best on a prepped canvas. Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer to your pulse points – wrists, inner elbows, neck – to create a base that holds the scent.
Target your pulse points, where your body heat naturally diffuses the fragrance. Avoid rubbing your wrists together, as this breaks down the scent molecules. Hold the bottle a few inches away and mist yourself lightly.
Store your perfume in a cool, dark place, ideally in its original box. Heat, light, and air can degrade the fragrance over time.
For midday touch-ups, bring a travel-sized version of your perfume. You can also layer your fragrance with a matching lotion or body oil, creating a stronger scent base.
The types of door locks that you decide to install determine the level of security that will be provided for your home or business; hence you must make an informed choice to keep your property away from intruders. The market has too many choices hence it is not easy to determine which one would be most suitable for your requirements.
One of the most common and efficient types of door locks is deadbolts. Characteristics of these doors are their strength and endurance and these features have made them the most sought-after solution for outside doors. Deadbolts come in two types: single and double cylinder. Single-cylinder deadbolts are operated by a key on one side and a thumbturn on the other while double-cylinder deadbolts require keys on both sides. The second one is safer but dangerous in case of emergency.
Mortise Locks
Those locks have a mortise with a latch and a deadbolt inside a rectangular box. A mortise lock is an example of a very quality secure lock and it is mostly used in commercial buildings. They are two-sided and require a key to function and, thus, are safer in case of theft.
Knob Locks
Knob locks are the hardware that is often used in residential buildings and is usually a more or less secondary security system. The installation is simple and perfect for low-security interior door applications. Nevertheless, they are not ideal for outside doors because they could be easily broken by a wrench or hammer.
Keyless Entry Locks
Keypad Locks
Keypad locks are another name for combination locks, and the passcode should be entered to get to the location. They are an easy choice because you can change the code anytime without having to remember to take a key. Keypad locks are frequently used in commercial buildings and are perfect for areas with several users such as gyms or offices.
Smart Locks
Smart locks are modern door lock technology. They are operated by use of an app, which can be set up on your smartphone, therefore, you can have your door locked or unlocked from anywhere. Smart locks also provide keyless entry through a pin code, voice activation, and access history tracking. Nevertheless, they are expensive and need a reliable internet connection for all the functions.
High-Security Locks
Cam Locks
Filing cabinets, drawers, and lockers are areas where cam locks are frequently used. They are operated by rotating a key which causes a cam to move and hold the lock in place. They are cheap alternatives; however, they provide only simple security and are easily manipulated or picked.
Jimmy Proof Deadbolts
Jimmy-proof deadbolts have been engineered to withstand forcible entry by intruders with an arsenal that includes a crowbar or hammer. They are rim-mounted and composed of bolts that interlock to hold the door and strike plate in the frame. They are often used in apartments or rental properties as an extra security measure.
In conclusion, the right kind of door lock that you choose depends on what you want to achieve with it and how much you want to spend. It is always recommendable to seek a professional locksmith to survey your property and give the best advice. No matter which type of door locks you choose, remember that it should be regularly maintained and, most importantly, should always be locked when you leave your home or business. Having the appropriate door lock will give you confidence that your property and loved ones are safe and protected.
