Research <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3505409\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">shows<\/a> that 90 days is the optimal timeframe for creating lasting change. It\u2019s long enough to build real habits, but short enough to maintain focus and motivation. Unlike annual resolutions that feel overwhelming and distant, quarterly planning feels achievable and immediate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Your success during this time will depend on three key principles:<\/strong> Consistency over perfection \u2014 small daily actions that compound into major transformations; flexibility within structure \u2014 adapting the plan to your life while maintaining the core framework; and progress over perfection \u2014 celebrating small victories and learning from setbacks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We designed this guide to be your companion for the last 90 days of 2025.<\/strong> Each month has had a specific theme and focus, and each week a new phase. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>If you missed the first 60 days, it\u2019s not too late to start now.

The challenge is maintaining laser focus while navigating holiday obligations and year-end demands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">#1- WEEK 9: DECEMBER LAUNCH-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>December may require more sophisticated focus and energy management as competing <\/strong><strong>priorities intensify. <\/strong>It\u2019s important to balance meaningful participation with protection of your goals and energy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Priority protection<\/strong> involves fiercely guarding your three major goals during the holiday season \u2014 schedule non-negotiable time for progress on your most important objectives; say no to non-essential holiday celebrations that would derail your December 31st vision; use the clarity of limited time to make strategic choices about where to invest your energy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Energy optimization<\/strong> becomes crucial as daylight decreases and social obligations increase. Use your peak energy hours for goal-related activities. Schedule routine tasks during natural low-energy periods. Build in recovery time between high-intensity social or work commitments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Holiday season as skill practice<\/strong> provides chances to apply everything you've learned \u2014 use family gatherings to practice communication skills; apply stress management techniques during busy shopping or party periods; demonstrate financial discipline during the expensive holiday season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Selective engagement <\/strong>means choosing holiday activities that align with your values and relationship goals while declining those that don't serve your priorities. Quality over quantity in both gift-giving and event attendance. Focus on creating meaningful experiences rather than perfect celebrations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Boundary maintenance<\/strong> requires clear communication about your availability and priorities. Prepare responses for additional commitments that might arise. Protect your daily routines and weekly planning time as non-negotiable appointments with yourself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">#2- WEEK 10: INTEGRATION AND ACCELERATION-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>With 21 days remaining, it\u2019s time to focus on cementing the changes that will continue <\/strong><strong>beyond December 31st, and ensure the skills you've developed become permanent capabilities rather than temporary improvements.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Habit integration<\/strong> involves connecting new practices to existing routines so they become automatic. Create environmental supports that make good choices easier. Build flexibility into your systems so they survive schedule changes and life disruptions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>System optimization<\/strong> means simplifying anything that's become too complex during your learning phase. Automate what you can to reduce daily decision fatigue. Focus on what's working and prepare to maintain it beyond your 90-day intensive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Daily application<\/strong> of your focus skill in various contexts to build confidence and automaticity. Integration with your work, relationships, and personal goals so the skill becomes part of who you are. Planning for continued development beyond December 31st.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">#3- WEEK 11: PRE-HOLIDAY PUSH-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Use the week before major holidays to complete important objectives and prepare for <\/strong><strong>holiday disruptions, while still using this pre-holiday time for meaningful connections.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Goal completion<\/strong> involves pushing hard on your three major goals while you still have focused time available. Complete projects and objectives that can be finished before holiday interruptions. Document progress and achievements for your December 31st review.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Holiday preparation<\/strong> includes organizing your environment for holiday success, preparing systems that will maintain your progress during family visits or travel, and setting up accountability measures that work during disrupted schedules.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Quality time<\/strong> with important people in your life is equally important. Focus on presence and appreciation rather than perfect gift-giving or entertainment. Express your gratitude and appreciation for the support you\u2019ve received over your transformational period, strengthening bonds that will sustain the foundation for continued growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">#4- WEEK 12: HOLIDAY WEEK MAINTENANCE-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The week between Christmas and New Year's typically involves disrupted routines and <\/strong><strong>family obligations. Your strategy should focus on maintenance rather than acceleration.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Care habit protection<\/strong> involves maintaining simplified versions of your most important daily practices. Use any quiet moments for reflection and planning rather than complete disengagement from your goals. Apply the skills you\u2019ve developed to navigate family dynamics and holiday stress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Strategic rest and renewal<\/strong> can happen during holiday downtime. Catch up on your sleep and recovery from your 90-day effort. Use that quiet time for reflection on your transformation and preliminary planning for 2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p

completion, celebration, and transition planning.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Goal completion<\/strong> involves

reached during your intensive period<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Transition preparation<\/strong> includes reviewing lessons

The sequel shows how truth can be twisted, how an entire people could be deceived, and what it means to sit idle as injustice takes root.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Dorothy enters stage right.<\/strong> The second act sees the iconic Wizard of Oz protagonist finally make an appearance. The question of who was to play her \u2014 stepping in Judy Garland\u2019s metaphorical ruby red slippers \u2014 was one on everyone\u2019s lips. The answer left audiences speechless, but not for the reasons you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For Good doubles down on everything that made Wicked wickedly good.<\/strong> The cinematography and visual effects initially retain the hallmark color palette of the first film, yet soon things takes a dark turn \u2014 both literally and figuratively. As the movie progresses, colors begin to fade, and darkness takes hold. This transition, complemented by the darkness in the second act soundtrack\u2019s lyrics, adds depth to the sequel. Certain scenes, too, unfold in a way reminiscent of body-horror thrillers \u2014 but that\u2019s all we\u2019ll divulge for now. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Let\u2019s <\/strong><strong>talk music<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/3JUrJP460nFIqwjxM19slT?si=1vEXt2LOR3iAUzehYU-pIg\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">original Wicked soundtrack<\/a> undeniably reigns supreme, yet For Good\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/6pamCzTowX31m57z8dC1Sk?si=TbIH-bQTQyqFLkcDW5lIMA\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">sonic undertakings<\/a> definitely put up a fight.

While we understand the creative choice to focus efforts and attention on Elphaba and Glinda\u2019s friendship, we would have appreciated more time dedicated to the journey of the Kansas-hailing 12-year-old. This might be an unpopular opinion, but Wicked could have benefited from being a trilogy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That said, Wicked: For Good was a <\/strong><strong>wonderful<\/strong><strong> success.<\/strong> It\u2019s often noted that the second act of the original Broadway production doesn\u2019t quite match the momentum of the first, but Wicked: For Good deftly navigates this challenge to deliver a finale that feels just as propulsive as its predecessor. The ending was more than satisfactory, with everyone getting just what they deserve \u2014 the good and the bad. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO WATCH IT-<\/strong> You can catch Wicked: For Good at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/egy.voxcinemas.com\/movies\/wicked-for-good\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Vox Cinemas<\/a> at Mall of Egypt, Alexandria, and City Center Almaza.

In her 2017 memoir, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/35137915-i-am-i-am-i-am\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">I Am, I Am, I Am<\/a>, that idea appears not to be too farfetched, as the author recounts 17 near-death experiences that left her born anew, one way or another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Memoirs tend to be self-serving, but O\u2019Farrell\u2019s is anything but. <\/strong>Agonizingly honest, viscerally human, and linguistically electric, O\u2019Farrell\u2019s memoir dissects the idea of life \u2014 what it means to take it for granted, and what it means to see it almost taken away from you time and again. Over 300 pages and 17 chapters, told not in chronological order but rather in a way that traces O\u2019Farrell\u2019s physical body and the memories every tissue holds, the author presents a series of tales that feed into one\u2019s fears \u2014 what if everything that could go wrong does? What happens after?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201c<\/strong><strong>Neck\u201d reads<\/strong><strong> the chapter title, a medical illustration in tow.<\/strong> At the age of 18, O\u2019Farrell is walking alone when she realizes the man in her periphery doesn\u2019t seem to be going away. Moments later, she instinctively realizes she is facing imminent danger, narrowly escaping. The chapter sees the encounter narrated in detail, extrapolating the incident to discuss police ambivalence, the constant belittling of women\u2019s concerns, and what happens when victims are not believed. O\u2019Farrell had escaped that night, yet that very man would come to murder a 22-year-old woman days later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>So goes the rest of the memoir \u2014 each chapter a slow and steady dissection of a <\/strong><strong>singular moment in O\u2019Farrell\u2019s life in which death came knocking<\/strong>, only to walk away empty-handed. These brushes are not exclusively her own, with some attributed to her chronically-ill daughter, for whom this memoir was written. O\u2019Farrell\u2019s life, to the reader, at times may seem incomprehensible \u2014 how does one go through so much and still manage to walk away enlivened? How can hope remain alive in the face of death? These are questions to which the answers are inferred between the lines, traced by a woman\u2019s \u2014 a mother\u2019s \u2014 braving of one storm after another. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cIt is the strangest sensation, not being able to move. It is not a heavy feeling, as you <\/strong><strong>might imagine, but light.\u201d<\/strong> I Am, I Am, I Am is one of our favorite memoirs for a variety of reasons, prime amongst them being O\u2019Farrell\u2019s vulnerability, her willingness to admit to her own shortcomings, and her unfiltered confessions. The memoir also goes beyond personal admittances and deftly tackles a variety of timely topics and issues in a manner only a seasoned writer like O\u2019Farrell can accomplish. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Gripping and awe-inspiring, the memoir is one that \u2014 despite its length \u2014 will prove a <\/strong><strong>quick read.<\/strong> The Women\u2019s Prize for Fiction laureate proves that sometimes life can indeed sometimes be stranger than fiction, that beautiful things can exist in the crevices of those which are not, and that life is a mercurial thing, never to be taken for granted. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO GET IT- <\/strong>You can find the paperback version at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/diwanegypt.com\/product\/i-am-i-am-i-amseventeen-brushes-with-death\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Diwan<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aseeralkotb.com\/en\/books\/i-am-i-am-i-am-seventeen-brushes-with-death\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Aseer El Kotob<\/a>.

While guests were in for a treat, the chefs were in for a challenge. The four-day showcase gave the culinary artists a blank canvas\u2026 with a caveat: all ingredients had to be locally sourced, seasonal, and ensure zero waste \u2014 an approach that followed in the footsteps of The Ethical Chef, Niederkofler\u2019s, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/56312168-cook-the-mountain\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Cook the Mountain<\/a> philosophy, adapted to the Red Sea. The result? Utterly fascinating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It all started with a special dinner at the Abu Tig Marina<\/strong>, where an island rose to welcome scores of guests and chefs. The chefs were paired, each duo \u2014 and one trio \u2014 occupying one of the culinary stations dotted throughout the marina island. The seating arrangement saw high tables spread throughout, seemingly sending one message: move around, talk, and watch magic happen. The stations allowed guests to witness the chefs in action, from preparation to garnishing, all whilst conversation flowed. This would come to set the tone for what the rest of the weekend was all about \u2014 community, conversation, and storytelling through the culinary arts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Conversations there were, seeing as we could not stop raving about the dishes.<\/strong> The dinner at Abu Tig saw a smorgasbord of innovative bites that hit all the marks and then some. Chefs Fabrizio Mellino and Sara Aqel presented a hummus and sujuk tart \u2014 a savory appetizer disguised in the form of dessert \u2014 Chefs Himanshu Saini and Ariel Hagan wowed the crowd with a \u2018aish baladi and trout batarekh ceviche \u2014 an almost-alchemical combination one would hitherto never dare to dream of.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Chefs Niederkoflet and Turki Bin Hallabi presented some interesting protein choices in <\/strong><strong>the form of camel shawarma and quail with dukkah<\/strong>, with the former \u2014 in our humble opinion \u2014 being the star of the evening. Chefs Robertson, Hadida, and Rigo sought inspiration from the seas, presenting a sea bass with dried pears, and a king mackerel with sour cream, prickly ash, and rhubarb.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Incredible as all the dishes were, it soon became clear that this was no ordinary dinner<\/strong> \u2014 it was a chance to share one\u2019s love of food with other discerning gourmands. Guests lingered by the stations, sharing stories with chefs and one another, in a rare showcase of community that often goes unencountered in typical fine dining settings. The band played and guests swayed, and the night soon ended, leaving us to rest before our next excursion: Brunch at The Smokery Beach, where some of our favorite dishes of the weekend were served.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/11\/1837.jpg?ssl=1\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When one thinks of okra and cauliflower in Egypt, one might imagine tomato-sauce-laden <\/strong><strong>stews \u2014 Chef Bin Hallabi, however, broke from the mold.<\/strong> The Saudi chef presented a palate-envigorating dish of grilled okra and cauliflower, diced atop a bed of tahini. Refreshingly fresh with an interesting crisp texture, the dish was one we didn\u2019t just go back for seconds for, but for thirds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As we moved along the stations lined across the shore<\/strong>, we tried Chef Hagen\u2019s \u2018areesh cheese pasta, aqel\u2019s grilled prawns with Egyptian spices and lemon sauce, and ended our culinary excursion with Chef Rigo\u2019s signature sweet treat: a burnt lemon meringue, served inside a half lemon laid atop a bed of Himalayan salt. Accompanying the dessert was a fresh waffle biscuit, which offset the acidity of the lemon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Rigo\u2019s dessert best encapsulated the theme of 35 Flavors of El Gouna, particularly when <\/strong><strong>it came to zero waste cooking. <\/strong>The Italian chef utilized every aspect of the lemon; from its shell to its juice. The self-proclaimed Daughter of the Dolomites made her love for nature clear with her dessert: \u201cGrowing up surrounded by mountains and untouched nature impacted me profoundly, particularly in regards to how I feel about produce,\u201d Rigo told us. \u201cIf you have a piece of fruit, there\u2019s not much more you can add to it, it\u2019s just naturally beautiful,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/11\/1839.jpg?ssl=1\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The brunch, we would argue, was perhaps one of the more prominent highlights of the <\/strong><strong>weekend.<\/strong> In broad daylight, by the beach, 35 Flavors of El Gouna demonstrated Taste El Gouna\u2019s great potential, and what we hope to see more of in the coming editions set to take place in the seaside town annually. Once more, it was a community-centric affair, with culinary excellence at both the forefront and the background. As the sun began to set, the night paved the way for the Flagship Dinner at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/botanica_elgouna\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Botanica<\/a>, a newly-minted pioneering hydroponic restaurant where sustainability is core. There, the upcoming La Maison Bleue Residences (LMBR) were <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b7cefb4a-bd36-42a5-b2ca-612b1fe52f42\/%253cmark%253eel-gouna%253c%2Fmark%253e-introduces-la-maison-bleue-residences\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a>. The seated dinner saw the Michelin-starred chefs and the rising stars cater to every craving, doubling down on everything they had thus far presented. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/11\/1841.jpg?ssl=1\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A fitting finale: <\/strong>The final dinner of 35 Flavors of El Gouna took us all the way back to Abu Tig, where Villa Coconut opened its doors to a special showcase by the rising stars. Seafood was a prominent theme, interpreted differently by each of the chefs. Bin Hallabi\u2019s catch of the day was enthroned in a shrine of tamarind and dukkah, Aqel\u2019s fillet was shrouded in vine leaves \u2014 offering a taste at once familiar and foreign to Egyptian palates \u2014 and Hagen\u2019s salad, filled with chickpeas, black eyed peas, prawn, and Egyptian curry, had guests standing in lines for second and third helpings. Rigo, once more, ended the evening with a sweet symphony in the form of a fresh date tart with spiced anise toffee and homegrown citrus jam. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Were we to review every dish, we would be here for hours, so we\u2019ll just say this \u2014 and <\/strong><strong>risk hyperbole:<\/strong> every single offering throughout the length of the weekend was culinary perfection actualized. 35 Flavors of El Gouna \u2014 the inaugural edition of Taste El Gouna \u2014 was a success, to say the least, having us (and most guests, we\u2019re sure) counting down the minutes to the next edition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Further supplementing the coastal town\u2019s culinary scene, the platform, we believe, is set <\/strong><strong>to transform the Red Sea destination into a globally-renowned culinary terminus<\/strong>, much like how El Gouna International Film Festival gently placed the town on the global cultural map. As Chef Rigo told us: \u201cThere\u2019s so much more potential [in Egypt], because there\u2019s so much to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While 35 Flavors of El Gouna has now concluded<\/strong>, we would urge you not to miss the second iteration of Taste El Gouna next year\u2026 and it\u2019s never too early to start cleansing your palate. <\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div
