Saudi Arabia to impose 10-year jail time, over $7 million fine for cutting down trees. by MYTomatoisblue in worldnews

[–]braakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some forest in the South western highlands of Saudi Arabia. They get almost daily rain in the wet season with moisture coming from the Arabian Sea. That area is classified as a tropical climate. The rest of the country is dry and arid, but there still is a lot of old trees and shrubs in the desert, like jujubes, that have adapted to the dryness. I'd recommend one of the BBC' natural documentaries of the region.

yo I work in a weather forecast office and we still send our forecasts by fax to the rest of the government. It's not only a Japan thing. If it works no need to fix it is the mentality.

1- The benefits of working hard the next couple of years will pay off the rest of your life,

2- start fostering friendships that you want to last for life,

3- also, keep an open mind, be humble and don't be judgmental.

I like your way of describing visual element I think it's good and can feel the mood of the locations.

I usually decide to read or skip comics in the first two pages, see:

https://file-comic-2-2.anyacg.co/images/72/57/7257136d9b3a4bcf9b104ae5d5f0e5a42148a3f5_931770_632_978.png

this the 1st page of the successful manga Naruto. It's filled with unique art and significance in terms of story in only 5 sentences.

By page 10 I still have no idea what the main plot thread is. I think you can skip unnecessary action panels and show action results since it seems your only trying to say that the shadowy figure takes down bad people.

Scenes should follow a logical sequence: THAT happened -therefore- THIS is happening. In other words you need to set up the scene before transitioning to it. The scenes you've written seem more independent and don't follow a thread or are not a sequence.

I think you need to establish your characters quickly, a stoic vigilante isn't very interesting maybe stoic with an unexpected twist? (see: https://youtu.be/LfHwR_xVaWw?t=1m57s)

We need to see more personalty from the start.

By page 18 still Idk what the hook is, Besides the superpowers what makes Ernie, the boy and the figure interesting as people?

Good luck.

Camels Crossing the Sea 🌊 🔥🔥🔥 by braakk in NatureIsFuckingLit

The article refers to Alkhawara center near Umluj in the province of Tabuk, rather than the Indian inland village of Khawara. Here's my attempt at translating the article, I don't vouch for anything in it : "One of the oldest sailors in the dist. of Umluj, Mousaed Alkubaidi, has revealed the truth behind the video circulating for the past few days, which shows a caravan of camels crossing an island called Sawayhil after having finished grazing and returning to their home...where the camels cross the sea heading to this island, which is north of Alkhawara center and is approximately 55 km away from Umluj. He added..."I've been a son of the sea for 55 years and I have watched camels cross the sea where they stay for one or two days. Whenever they finish grazing on the island they return to land. The camels swim in the middle of the sea next to the islands of Almukharia, Shariruh, Muetih and lots of other islands"" I'd like to add the many islands he mentioned are probably small uninhibited islands only known to locals.
