His words crossed borders, centuries, and cultures, speaking equally to kings and common people.

Sharness rode up to her “temple”; the 1920s mansion had been refurbished with an apocalypse in mind, making it an excellent base for her operations. She had fallen in love with the curves and swoops of the mansion; it was a gorgeous edifice only highlighted by the gardens around it and the pools that someone had taken care to design slides, fire pits, and hidden nooks. It was made to satisfy the needs of those who had lived there and she could appreciate that as no human living on the planet could.

Tattoos and Rail Guns Chapter 19: Cavetown Orphans and Water Usage
Kev and the two lieutenants had been following the cavern for a few miles. The cavern may have been natural but had been reinforced over time. The supports were ramshackle at best but seemed to be doing the job. They did seem to be a little dustier than a cavern should be; there was no visible water either, which was weird considering that the cavern was obviously caused by erosion.

Seed bead sizes.
as a bead importer and seller, I thought I would talk about rocailles (seed beads) and their sizes. We (Wild Things Beads) mainly sell Czech seed beads, but also vintage French and Italian. We also have a stash of Japanese. They all are measured in the English aught system. The size measurement usually correlates with the number of beads that will fit into a given inch when the beads are lined up side by side (with the holes parallel to each other). For instance, size 8/0 would equal eight beads to one inch, 6/0 equals 6 beads to an inch, 11/o is 11 beads to an inch. Etc, etc.Keep in mind this is just a general rule of thumb, as there can be variances in this measurement based on the manufacturer, the type of glass used and the bead's finish. Japanese seed beads are slightly larger than Czech, and more regular, whereas Czech seed beads are irregular.
