Megamind guide to defending your city |

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecc 3:1-8)
We are not meant to be stagnant in this life the LORD has blessed us with. Take any lack in motivation as a sign to seek the LORD with greater focus than ever before. Find isolation, have your Bible at hand, and set your desire fully on the LORD. Set your desire fully on the LORD, and He will then align your desire with His perfect will. I do not know His will for your life, but it is not to be bored and stagnant. The LORD wants us to be lively, ever-growing and developing, eager to shine His light on the world.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and truly you will be fed. Delight yourself also in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:3-4)
Jesus, Paul and other servants of the LORD were often on the move, dwelling in many different places. They did not have “wanderlust”. They moved at the LORD’s command. They fully desired the LORD, His kingdom and His righteousness, and as a result, the LORD carried them on amazing adventures. They faced many tribulations on their journeys, but those tribulations forged them stronger. The Bible tells us of their tribulations not to dissuade us from living boldly and righteously as they did, but to prepare us for life's inevitable challenges. Saints and heathen alike go through hardship. The difference is, saints rejoice in their tribulation, knowing there are great things on the other side of it. Undoubtedly, amidst the saints' times of tribulation were many periods of peace, joy and amazement. These seasons of love were due to their unquenchable thirst for righteousness, patience, hope, willingness to endure, desire to overcome, and faith that the LORD’s kingdom will come.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (2 Cor 4:8-9)
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18)
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)
Throughout His life, Jesus surely experienced and enjoyed much of the Earth’s beauty. Do not be afraid to make bold moves like He did, neither make them rashly. Always consult with the LORD, and make sure He is the one guiding you. The way to do this is by separating from the influences and distractions of the world. It can be difficult to hear the LORD’s voice clearly and take heed to Him when surrounded by doubters and naysayers who want you stuck in place, bonded in fear as they are.
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7)
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man (Psalm 118:8)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Phil 4:6)
When fully seeking the LORD and focused on becoming more obedient to Him, and He says to make a move at a moment’s notice, then so be it. From my experience, He first gives signs and feelings that a move should be made, allowing time to prepare. Continue in prayer, examine your life, and move forward boldly in faith. Do not allow doubt or other people to deter or dissuade you. Pray without ceasing, seek greater humility, rely fully on the LORD, and He will guide you rightly. Make the LORD’s kingdom and righteousness your first desire, and He will protect and provide for you wherever you go.
But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added to you.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there will your hand lead me, and your right hand will hold me. (Psalm 139:9-10)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and He will direct your paths. (Prob 3:5-6)
A man's heart devises his way: but the LORD directs his steps (Prov 16:9)
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So will they be life to your soul, and grace to your neck. Then will you walk in your way safely, and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid: yea, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes. For the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken. (Prov 3:21-26)

You can start dropshipping on a budget and with little e-commerce experience. It is a great option for those new to selling online.
However, starting dropshipping can be overwhelming. After launching several successful stores, we’ve created a simple guide to help you start.
Keep reading to find out how to start dropshipping and create a successful store.

Key Takeaways:

Find a product with high demand and low competition
Choose your supplier based on product quality and communication
Open your store on a platform like Shopify
Run ads on Facebook or Google
Analyze and optimize your store to generate more sales

1. Find a Product
How to Find Products:

Use a product research tool (e.g., our favorite tool)
Search social media for trending products
Search online marketplaces
Look for gaps in the market

We have an article on How to Find Winning Dropshipping Products if you’re looking for more ideas.
Top Tips for Finding Products:

Find a product with high demand
Look at how much competition each product has
Select a small and light product, as they’re cheaper to ship
Avoid products with legal issues or restrictions
Check any potential advertising issues

2. Track the Sales and Competition
Checking your competition's sales and revenue will confirm that the product you’ve found is a winner.
You can use competitor research tools, like this Sales Tracker, to do this.
This will give you an idea of the price you can sell your product at. As well as how many pieces you’re likely to sell.
3. Contact Suppliers and Source the Product
Once you’ve found a product to sell, you can start contacting suppliers.
The most popular place to find dropshipping suppliers is AliExpress. But there are plenty of other options too.
Several suppliers will sell the same product. We recommend contacting them all. Each supplier will offer something slightly different.
Quality is the main thing to look for, but we also recommend looking for a supplier with the following qualities:

Easy to communicate with
Ability to integrate with your store
Product variation
Warranty, refund, and refund policy that suits your store
The right product and shipping costs
Short lead and shipping times

We have our own Supplier Finder directory, with trusted and prevetted suppliers.
4. Request Samples and Find Your Product
Request a variety of samples from the supplies you’ve contacted.
Compare the quality of the samples. You should also compare your interaction with the supplier and other qualities mentioned above to help select the right one.
Hopefully, these first four steps have shown you how to start. But there are several more steps to launching your store.
We have an entire database of articles on each step with a full explanation. Open our knowledge center and learn:

Hey everyone!
I'm 34, M, Chubby/Dad Bod, 6 Tattoos (I want more!), Bearded and 6'!
We all know how difficult it is when you hit 30+ to meet new people, find friends, and even more than that. Feel free to just message me even if you aren't looking for a relationship! I'd love some conversation throughout the day and to make new friends!

I'm just a nerdy guy looking for his best friend.
Are you looking for that consistent text-until-3am person? Do you like having conversation or knowing that I'll try my best to find something to chat about?
We can talk about British TV, or food. We can talk about your favorite concerts or bands. We can talk about how Mass Effect is the best video game series but the remaster was just okay. We can talk about news, or really anything.
Location isn't a huge deal breaker for me. I'm willing to eventually find someone regardless of the location if something happens.
I'm the kinda dude who will do the dishes if you cook, and help clean the house. I'll mow the lawn (we all know nobody wants too), and fix things.

About Me!

I'm huge into video games, and Mass Effect is my favorite video game series
- I love stuff like Fallout, Dragon Age, Apex Legends, World of Warcraft, etc.
- I love building games too!
I love TV stuff like Taskmaster, Futurama, Bob's Burgers
Currently renovating my home
Have a stable career
I have an adorable German Shepard
I'm a huge alternative music fan
- Stuff like Fitz and the Tantrums, Joywave, City and Colour
I love to travel!

What I'm looking for

Someone who plays video games
Ideally someone who likes alternative music
Loves to travel
Has a Career

I'm all for meeting/hanging out in a video game if you want! Do you want a partner to play a co-op game with? Build something in a game? I'll definitely play!
You're welcome to message/reddit chat!

Undoubtedly, amidst the saints' times of tribulation were many periods of peace, joy and amazement. These seasons of love were due to their unquenchable thirst for righteousness, patience, hope, willingness to endure, desire to overcome, and faith that the LORD’s kingdom will come.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (2 Cor 4:8-9)
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18)
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)
Throughout His life, Jesus surely experienced and enjoyed much of the Earth’s beauty. Do not be afraid to make bold moves like He did, neither make them rashly. Always consult with the LORD, and make sure He is the one guiding you. The way to do this is by separating from the influences and distractions of the world. It can be difficult to hear the LORD’s voice clearly and take heed to Him when surrounded by doubters and naysayers who want you stuck in place, bonded in fear as they are.
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7)
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man (Psalm 118:8)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Phil 4:6)
When fully seeking the LORD and focused on becoming more obedient to Him, and He says to make a move at a moment’s notice, then so be it. From my experience, He first gives signs and feelings that a move should be made, allowing time to prepare. Continue in prayer, examine your life, and move forward boldly in faith. Do not allow doubt or other people to deter or dissuade you. Pray without ceasing, seek greater humility, rely fully on the LORD, and He will guide you rightly. Make the LORD’s kingdom and righteousness your first desire, and He will protect and provide for you wherever you go.
But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added to you.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there will your hand lead me, and your right hand will hold me. (Psalm 139:9-10)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and He will direct your paths. (Prob 3:5-6)
A man's heart devises his way: but the LORD directs his steps (Prov 16:9)
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So will they be life to your soul, and grace to your neck. Then will you walk in your way safely, and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid: yea, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes. For the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken. (Prov 3:21-26)

Northeast of the city of Lira. The Great Battle was underway. The Kingdom of Andaroln and the Kingdom of Ithrandil fought each other. Humans vs High Elves.
On the dried, trampled grass of the meadow, two armies were advancing on each other. In the cloudless southern sun of Andaroln summer. Human soldiers, under the banner of a golden sword crossed with a lightning bolt in the crown crest, tried to maintain formation. Armed with swords, shields, and chainmail, they fended off a frontal attack by the silver-skinned Elves, who wore emerald armor that looked as if it were made of cut stone. Compared to them, people looked like a random collection. They had no such armor, and some had none at all.
In addition, the Elves possessed terrible weapons. The Ents broke through the ranks, heedless of any resistance. Trees bred to become ruthless machines powered by magic. Feeling no pain and knowing no mercy. They assume an almost humanoid form during combat. Arms with roots instead of fingers grabbed and tore people apart. The Andarolians knew only two ways to defeat them. A strong mage was needed, and that was the problem, unlike the Elves, many people didn't know magic. Secon way was to bombard the Ent with so many incendiary arrows that they start to burn. And hidden in the crown of the tree, the Elf that was controlling it was burning alive. The archers kept behind the infantry were important, they supported the soldiers fighting in front.
Andaroln was famous for its cavalry, but it was useless against the Ents. Horses were afraid of moving trees. Except for the armored horses the Paladins rode. They weren't even afraid of lightning. For this is what their fearless riders wield. In full silver plate armour, consisting of visors, shoulder pads, breastplates, gloves, and shin guards. With blue tabards with a white lightning bolt in a circle on the chest. Armed with long lances and a triangular two-color shield. They surrounded the elven army and charged at it, surrounded by an aura of lightning that struck enemies within range.
Among the Andarolian troops on the right flank was Wyndelf. This Andaroln Captain in his twenties, he fought in the front row with his two-handed bastard sword. He was a massive tall man with a long face, a low forehead, a large, slightly curved nose, and a thin mouth. He had a fair complexion, broad shoulders, stern green eyes, and shoulder-length disheveled dark brown hair. A short beard covered his face. He wore a steel hauberk over a leather waistcoat, simple black canvas trousers, and leather boots.
This wasn't his first battle. He remembered the words of the knight training him and the other recruits. "The elves know magic and are cunning, tire them out to defeat them." That's what he was doing, starting a sword fight. He forced the Elf to parry with quick swings and finally finished him off. All around were the screams of the wounded, the dying of the dead. As far as the eye could see, there were either enemies or allies. They were outnumbered. This battle was fought by the largest army in Andaroln's history, 60,000 strong. There were only twenty-five thousand elves.
On a hill nearby sat the Queen of the Elves, commanding and casting terrifying spells. Fireballs the size of great cauldrons hit the Andaroln soldiers like great boulders. They exploded, killing and severely burning those lucky enough to survive. Wyndelf kept silently praying to Anedothon that one didn't hit him. He didn't know how many elves he had already defeated. He was a better swordsman than them, but when one had magic he could only dodge and wait until he ran out of magical energy or was hit by an allied arrow.
Another hit him. Armed with a curved sword and shield. Both hands are busy. That meant he had no hand to cast. Wyndelf quickly dismissed the thought, however, as fire ignited on the curved blade. Yellow eyes shone from behind the visor. He moved forward. The Andarolian could only parry. In the brief exchange of blows, he sensed an opportunity. He jumped back and, using the greatsword's reach, aimed at the legs not covered by the shield. He tripped his opponent. He dropped the sword from his hand, and Wyndelf finished him off with another blow.
After defeating him, he realized that he was alone. Fortunately, there are not many enemies on the right flank either. The three elves gathered around the elf. They were covering her, apparently she was their commander. She was tired and had to sit down. They drew their swords and rushed towards him. Each with a curved short blade in one hand. And the other was nothing. Did they know magic? They surrounded him. They were about to attack simultaneously, giving Wyndelf no chance, when he moved forward and with a confident thrust of his sword felled the first elf. The other ran up to him, but his range was too short. A bastard's long sword sliced through his elven armor. The third looked uncertain. Escaped.
He was left alone with the tired Elf. She stood up, leaning on a long curved sword. Yellow eyes also shone from behind the veil of the helmet. She was tall, equal to his height, and he was not short. She raised her sword and charged at him. He was ready to make the attack. However, she stopped deadpan. She directed her hand towards the ground. Roots sprouted from the ground beneath him and encircled him. He tried to break away. She was getting closer. He reached for his belt knife. He cut the part. He released his sword and was completely free. He rushed at her. She raised the blade. She parried the first blow, and so did the second. she was backing up. He swung a third time. However, she stumbled over the corpse of the dead Elf, thus avoiding the blow. The helmet of elven metal fell from her head, and a face appeared to Wyndelf, a beautiful round one with prominent cheekbones. He was about to hit her, but hesitated.
He looked at her more. She was young as an elf. He saw fear in her big yellow eyes. Her forehead was smooth, her mouth dark and wide. Lush, shoulder-length, light green hair. The Andarolian was speechless. He had never seen someone so beautiful. He was standing over her with his two-handed sword raised. They stared at each other like that for a moment.
Then slowly the elf stood up. Without making sudden movements. She took two steps back, turned and ran towards the forest. Wyndelf stared after her for a moment, then shook himself. He looked at the hill. He could have been an easy target. He was alone on the right flank. However, the Elf Queen had other concerns.
Five Paladins rode towards her to challenge her. In the center is the Grand Master of Thelarix. A man of medium height in his sixties. A thin man with a long face, high forehead, prominent nose, thin lips and gray tousled hair. His large blue eyes were constantly glowing with a stern look. A fine stubble covered his face. Armed like the rest of the Paladins, except for the lack of a visor covering his head.
He was going to meet the Queen. They went up the hill. The Elf Queen sat on her horse, accompanied by her bodyguards, and measured the people with a cold gaze. She wore emerald armor like the other elves. On her head, however, instead of a helmet, she wore a golden crown studded with rubies. She was beautiful but her face was cold. She had silver Elven skin and orange gleaming eyes.
— So the humans sent their best warrior... a grey-haired old man? — she asked contemptuously..
— Don't be overconfident, Elf witch. — Thelarix answered her and pointed the lance skyward.
Lightning burst from the cloudless sky and struck the lance's tip. Lightning surrounded the Paladin. Constantly dancing all around him. It was five out of five. The Paladins accompanying the master of the order rushed at the Queen's bodyguards. They tried unsuccessfully to summon the roots to defend themselves. But that didn't help. The queen was amazed at how quickly her bodyguards were dealt with. However, she smiled when it became clear that other Paladins would not interfere in her duel with the old man. They stood on either side watching carefully. The elf created spears of fire and rushed at the old man. Thelarix charged at her, pointing lances at her. They clashed. The fiery spear shattered against the plate armor that surrounded the lightning bolt. The lance pierced the Queen's chest right through. She hung on a polearm. Her dead-open eyes were startled.
Seeing this, the elves broke down and started to retreat to the east. Thelarix let go of the lances. He dismounted and looked at the Crown. He took her hand. He sensed an unimaginable amount of magical energy from it.
— It's a powerful artifact. How could someone with something like that get defeated so easily? — he thought.
He got back on his horse with the prey. And he went down the hill. He looked at the man leaning on a long two-handed sword. Around him, a dozen dead elves. He was amazed. He drove up to him. There was an uproar nearby.
— Soldiers gather here — cried Thelarix loudly.
The Andarolians began to gather. Countless eyes were now on Wyndelf
— What's your name boy? — the Master of the Order asked quietly.
— Wyndelf Tarronghill — replied the Man.
Then the Paladin Commander spoke loudly to everyone — This Wyndelf Tarronghill here is a brave warrior, he fought tirelessly today for us and all of Andalorn, he deserves the glory, from now on he will be known as the Berserker of Lira —.
There were cheers and applause. Wyndelf was surprised. After a while, the crowd parted. On a beautiful silver horse rode a man whom everyone knew. King Killrog. A man in his forties, of medium height, massive, with a serious handsome face, broad shoulders, low forehead, small nose, blue eyes, stubble and short brown hair. He wore plate armor with the golden Crest of Andaroln on his chest and a blue cape with gold trimmings thrown over him. On his head was a golden crown studded with sapphires.
Wyndelf knelt as the King rode up. Thelarix dismounted and did the same. So are the soldiers.
— It's a great day — Killrog began. — We have defeated the greatest Elven army yet, today we have recaptured Lira, and soon we will recapture the rest of our lands, we will not rest until we drive the filthy Elves away — he said loudly and the crowd cheered.
Thelarix showed him the crown. The king took it and lifted it up — We have their Queen's Crown, their end is near.. —

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecc 3:1-8)
We are not meant to be stagnant in this life the LORD has blessed us with. Take any lack in motivation as a sign to seek the LORD with greater focus than ever before. Find isolation, have your Bible at hand, and set your desire fully on the LORD. Set your desire fully on the LORD, and He will then align your desire with His perfect will. I do not know His will for your life, but it is not to be bored and stagnant. The LORD wants us to be lively, ever-growing and developing, eager to shine His light on the world.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and truly you will be fed. Delight yourself also in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:3-4)
Jesus, Paul and other servants of the LORD were often on the move, dwelling in many different places. They did not have “wanderlust”. They moved at the LORD’s command. They fully desired the LORD, His kingdom and His righteousness, and as a result, the LORD carried them on amazing adventures. They faced many tribulations on their journeys, but those tribulations forged them stronger. The Bible tells us of their tribulations not to dissuade us from living boldly and righteously as they did, but to prepare us for life's inevitable challenges. Saints and heathen alike go through hardship. The difference is, saints rejoice in their tribulation, knowing there are great things on the other side of it.

Let me just start by saying- this is the least enjoyable thing I've ever studied for. So glad to have it behind me.
Now for my advice. If you're studying for PK0-004, stop and switch to PK0-005. The newer exam is absolutely a better experience. It still has some obtuse questions, but it's not nearly as bad. I'd suggest starting with CBT Nuggets video series. It's 11hrs, you can watch it on 1.5/2x speed, and finish it within the free trial period. After that I'd pick up the Sybex books (I got mine through my university, WGU, library.) There are two books, the study guide and practice tests. The study guide is a good reference tool, while the online question bank from the practice test book is good for practice questions.
I'd also recommend making flash cards for all of the acronyms on the exam objectives and know what they MEAN, not just what they stand for.
Hopefully this helps someone else get through this slog of a certifications!
