i procrastinated on this for months and it didn't even take that long to finish lol things got very bad at work this year and i just didn't have the energy but i'm really happy with how it turned out!

(edit: thank you so much to everyone enjoying this piece! i'm so happy there are more people thinking about his prosthetic leg.)

some of my favourite details and long self-indulgent ramble below the cut.

as much as i love the unicorn leg in the show i really wish they gave izzy an actual post-amputation swordfight scene, which probably would imply a more practical prosthesis because honestly that candle scene looks very painful and pretty difficult to adapt in combat. so basically i wanted him to have a prosthesis that could work.

for the poses i mostly just took basic right-handed cavalry sabre movements that would need lots of force and/or mobility from the left leg (actually all of them do otherwise he'd lose stability which is a big no but well i did not consider the basic steps nor special ones such as the balestra because they're not very clear to draw. i included a flèche though because i just really, really want to see him do flèches (no more modern rules aha!!); i doubt he'd like it since it's very risky but it would be so fucking awesome. imagine him just darting full-speed at the opponent and passing through them sliding the sabre right between their ribs. the sabre isn't a pointy weapon especially since his is quite curved which makes piercing trickier than slashing (it would be a lot easier with a rapier or an épée; i like to imagine that stede prefers the rapier and makes every opponent who believes rapiers aren't fit for combat reconsider it) but hell that would just look amazing. although looking at it again i probably drew the footwork more like a pass forward …). now thinking about it i should have included a salute because he'd absolutely do that and make everyone do it in unison at the start of training sessions and it's just a cool series of gestures (i haven't gone through the historical documents yet but the salute our historical fencing club do consists of two appels (striking the ground with the forward foot which in izzy's case is the right foot), then raising the sword to the sky, then pulling the guard of the sword near the jaw with the tip pointing upwards, then pointing the sword down forward, usually a bit to the exterior for single-handed swords. this is the short version; we did the complete version of that salute precisely once and i seriously cannot remember either the year it was formalised or how it was done exactly. i think it was somewhere near the end of the 18th century and there was half a step forward and maybe a step on the spot at the beginning. if i ever find it or we ever do it again i'll update here we did it again! the complete version from the 1877 regulation under napoleon iii for the french army, as our master remembers, includes a process of going from standing to a tierce stance in the beginning and it's like this: start from a standing position with heels kept together and the sword to the front pointing downwards, then slowly raise the sword with the arm extended until that the point is about at eye level, bend the arm to finish on the tierce or sixte hand position depending on the sword (sabre and rapier typically use the tierce while épée typically uses the sixte although tierce works too; longsword would also use the sixte unless you're doing the more dramatic guards like porta di ferro or posta della donna and then i guess that's a high seconde if you squint hard? but it's not used in the army lol imagine that. and bayonet has a whole different salute), then start folding the legs while keeping the heels together and when you can't go any lower, move the front foot forward to the en garde feet position. and then tap twice on the ground etc.). also i feel like the dagger doesn't really look right ever since i saw the daggers and little swords at the exhibition about knights in nantes … anyway.

the prosthesis is loosely based on those 16th-century moveable leg prostheses by ambroise paré (on a side note, he made hand prostheses too and i think they're good references for spanish jackie's hand), douglas bly's above-knee prosthesis in the 19th century and modern running prosthetic legs (for the need of explosive force typical in lunges) as well as historical fencing and buhurt (full-armour medieval combat) gears. although i'm horrible at physics and have forgotten what little ergonomics i learned at university so it probably won't work in reality lol.

the text is in french simply because i learned fencing in french and didn't want to make mistakes in the vocabulary. the small words from left to right top to bottom are: motion (movement?), knee (front), knee (back), ankle & foot, locked, flèche (as in fencing; the word itself means “arrow”), unlocked (middle french spelling because i like it and it's not completely anachronistic i guess), lunge, en garde position in tierce (i somehow can't find any fixed way to say this in english; it's just the basic stance with the third hand position). the text on the left is probably quite awkward honestly but i can't not put it there because it's fun lol it reads “leg and foot prosthesis designed for first mate hands, by doctor roach with the assistance of frenchie, realised (built? made? constructed? manufactured?) by black pete and wee john feeney and the entirety of the crew of the revenge under co-captains stede bonnet and edward teach, illustrated by lucius spriggs”. so yes any mistake in there is theirs and not mine lmao (no). the font is very loosely based on my memory of jean jannon's regular and italic typefaces. i adore his italics; it's the prettiest, most delicate italics i've ever seen.

i still have other drawing ideas for ofmd but i'm also into a lot of other things now … i'll probably get to them a few months later.

The Anatomy of a Dog’s Knee Joint: What Every Pet Parent Should Know

Last summer, my golden retriever, Max, stopped chasing squirrels. Not because he had grown wiser—but because his back leg suddenly buckled mid-run. One vet visit later, we were deep into a world most dog owners never think about: the anatomy of a dog’s knee joint. That’s when I realized how complex and vulnerable this small hinge can be—and how dog knee pain can quietly steal your pup’s joy.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s really going on inside your dog’s knee, beyond the usual fluff you find online.

More Than Just a Hinge: The True Knee Structure

A dog’s knee isn’t just simple hinge. It’s a powerful but intricate network of bones, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons working together to provide support and mobility.

The knee joint is formed by:

Femur (thigh bone)

Tibia (shin bone)

Patella (kneecap)

Fabellae (small sesamoid bones—humans don’t have these in the knee!)

The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is especially important—comparable to the ACL in humans. This ligament stabilizes the knee, and when it tears (which happens in up to 85% of orthopedic injuries in dogs, according to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons), the entire joint becomes unstable, leading to chronic dog knee pain.

Cartilage & Menisci: The Unsung Heroes

Here’s something you won’t see on most blogs—the menisci, two C-shaped cartilage pads, absorb shock and help the bones glide smoothly. When the CCL ruptures, these menisci often tear too. This secondary injury is a huge contributor to persistent pain but is often overlooked until surgery reveals the damage.

A 2019 study in Veterinary Surgery Journal found that meniscal damage occurs in nearly 50% of CCL injuries, yet most early diagnostics don’t detect it without imaging or surgical exploration.

Muscles and Tendons: The Support Team

Muscles around the stifle—like the quadriceps and hamstrings—play a crucial role in supporting the knee. If your dog is limping or favoring a leg, it may not be just the joint—it could be muscular compensation due to instability or pain.

Long-term compensation often leads to hip or spine issues, which many owners don’t connect to the original knee injury.

Relief and Support: Where Braces Come In

Many owners ask, “Can a brace really help?” Yes—a well-fitted Dog Knee Brace can offload the pressure on a damaged CCL, support the joint, and reduce dog knee pain. It’s especially helpful for senior dogs or those not ideal candidates for surgery.

If you're searching for a Dog Knee Brace Near Me, opt for clinics or providers that offer a Custom Dog Knee Brace—these ensure better fit and effectiveness.

According to a 2021 report in Canine Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy, custom braces improved mobility in 76% of dogs with CCL injuries when used consistently for over 12 weeks.

Final Thoughts: Know the Joint, Help the Dog

Understanding the anatomy of a dog’s knee joint isn’t just for vets. It’s for every dog owner who notices a limp, a skip, or just a sudden disinterest in walks. Knee is more complex than realize—and early intervention can prevent long damage.

Whether it’s through surgery, therapy, or a Custom Dog Knee Brace, there’s hope beyond the limp. Because every dog deserves to chase squirrels again.

Leadership is a sequence, a process which has different elements intact to it, prevailing towards the successful attributes of a true leadership quality. These elements of leadership are of three types- the leader, the following group or the followers and finally the substance. Leadership qualities are measured on the basis of employees’ performance and their job satisfaction. A leader can be called a successful torch bearer only if his/her followers equally contribute towards the growth of an organisation (Ccl, 2009, p.2). Leadership in itself is an important quality but there are certain factors which define the true leadership qualities a leader should possess. These essential components to develop leadership qualities at par are: a) Setting an example and motivating others, b) Finding a solution to doubts and ambiguities, c) Being ethical, d) Bringing in the desired change, and e) Managing cultural assortment (Oxcel, 1998). Teams and groups have become an important part of an organisation and different leadership theories have greatly influenced such practice. Leadership and its role within a team greatly inspire the organisational culture and also ensure that the team attains success and the overall output is effective (Northouse, 2009, p. 242). Organisations around the world practice several leadership theories to motivate their employees to perform better. Great Man Theory: Great Man theory was mainly put forth to support the fact that the people born in the family of aristocrats are great leaders by birth and are meant to lead with no formal training in leadership (Carolyn baker, 2011). This theory has no clear evidence to prove this fact as many non-aristocratic people have been great leaders and inspired many around the world with their charismatic leadership. Trait Theory: Trait theory explain the phenomenon of deriving traits or rather inheriting qualities which are rare to certain group of people, and this makes them better leaders. It, somehow fails to explain the same in case of people who possess the traits of leadership but are not the leaders (Leader today, 2012). Contingency Theory: Read the full article

75-35-4 Laser-induced Decomposition of 1,1,2-Trichloroethane

 CH2ClCHCl2 was photolyzed with a focusing geometry using the P(24) line of the 10.6 μm CO2 band (940.6 cm-1).The final products of neat photolysis were cis- and trans-CHCl=CHCl, CH2=CCl2, CH2=CHCl, CH<*>CCl, CH<*>CH, and C4H2.The relative yield of CH2=CCl2 in particular was strongly dependent on CH2ClCHCl2 pressure and sensitive to the addition of H atom containing molecules.A series of diagnostic experiments shows that the dichloroethene isomers are formed by three different processes, i.e., infrared multiphoton decomposition, collision-induced decomposition, and radical chain reaction.Infrared multiphoton decomposition and collision-induced decomposition give rise to cis- and trans-CHCl=CHCl predominantly, while the radical chain reaction generates the dichloroethane isomers in comparable amounts at high reactant pressures, the most probable initiation step being the C-Cl bond-scission reaction of the parent molecule.Formation mechanisms for other minor products are also discussed.

Nutritional Support for Dogs with CCL Tears

Providing proper nutrition is crucial for dogs recovering from CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) tears. This article explores the role of nutrition in supporting the healing process, enhancing joint health, and promoting overall well-being for dogs affected by CCL injuries.

Understanding CCL Tears in Dogs CCL tears are a common orthopedic injury in dogs, affecting the stability of the knee joint (stifle). When the CCL is torn or ruptured, dogs experience pain, lameness, and reduced mobility. Effective management of CCL tears involves a holistic approach, including proper nutrition to support recovery and joint health.

Importance of Nutrition in CCL Tear Recovery Nutrition plays a vital role in the healing process for dogs with CCL tears. Adequate nutrition supports:

Joint Health: Nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids help maintain cartilage health and reduce inflammation in the joints.

Muscle Strength: Protein and amino acids support muscle repair and maintenance, aiding in the rehabilitation process.

Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on the joints, which is crucial for dogs recovering from CCL injuries.

Key Nutrients for Dogs with CCL Tears Glucosamine and Chondroitin: These compounds are essential for cartilage health and may help reduce joint inflammation and support joint lubrication.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil, omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit dogs with joint issues, including CCL tears.

Protein: High-quality protein sources (e.g., lean meats, fish, eggs) support muscle repair and strength, essential for dogs undergoing rehabilitation.

Vitamins and Minerals: Antioxidant vitamins (e.g., Vitamin C, Vitamin E) and minerals (e.g., manganese, zinc) support overall joint health and immune function.

Dietary Considerations for Dogs with CCL Tears When selecting a diet for a dog recovering from a CCL tear, consider the following:

Quality Ingredients: Choose dog foods with high-quality ingredients, avoiding fillers and artificial additives.

Joint Support Formulas: Some commercial dog foods are formulated specifically to support joint health, containing added glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Weight Management: If your dog is overweight, work with your veterinarian to create a weight management plan to reduce stress on the joints.

Homemade Diets and Supplements While commercial diets formulated for joint health are convenient, some pet owners prefer homemade diets or adding supplements to their dog's food. It's essential to consult with your veterinarian before making significant dietary changes or adding supplements to ensure they are appropriate and safe for your dog's specific needs.

Hydration and Overall Health Ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean water at all times. Proper hydration supports overall health and aids in digestion, nutrient absorption, and joint lubrication.

Monitoring and Adjustments Monitor your dog's weight and overall condition regularly. Adjust their diet as needed based on their recovery progress, activity level, and any recommendations from your veterinarian.

Conclusion Nutritional support plays a vital role in the recovery and long-term management of dogs with CCL tears. By providing a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, you can help support joint health, promote healing, and improve your dog's overall well-being. Consult with your veterinarian to develop a tailored nutrition plan that meets your dog's specific needs and supports their journey to optimal joint health and mobility.

With proper nutrition and comprehensive care, dogs recovering from CCL tears can enjoy an improved quality of life, with reduced pain and enhanced mobility, allowing them to thrive as active and happy companions.
