come get y'alls phe-octo-nix (au ramblings under the cut)

i viserally feel that, before escaping the deep Z metro, phoenix gets partially sanitized like agent 3 does in octo expansion. in my mind, they're so close to escaping-- like, the see the exit when BAM

✨goop ✨

i mean, its a miracle they haven't been fully controlled yet

reggie and prism are so concerned when they loose contact with them. The pair have been working non stop and now suddenly Phoenix has gone no contact???! One of them ventures in to save them (prolly gonna be reggie, lets be so real with ourselves) and its sorta like, trying to get someone to remember you-- think of it like that scene from httyd 2 where toothless first gets controlled by the Bewilderbeast

phoenix is still like, fully out of it though and blindly attacks bc they don't know whats happening and its not like they've ever seen reggies or prisms faces before

i like to think phoenix usually despises any gun-adjacent weapon (like the splattershot, e-liter and dualies) and will actively go against using them in the levels but, when in this controlled state, they use that octo shot

After washing my hair, I just grabbed it, and a handful of hair tinted down. Why is the hair loss so serious?

Generally, the hair that falls off normally is the hair in the anagen phase and the telogen phase. Since the hair entering the anagen phase and the newly entering the growth phase are constantly in dynamic balance, a normal amount of hair can be maintained. Although I usually lose my hair, I feel that my hair is falling more severely recently. What causes serious hair loss? We listed the seven major causes of hair loss.

1 Too much cold drinks Studies have found that if you eat too much ice cream and other cold drinks in summer, your hair is easy to fall out. Therefore, the first thing to take care of your hair in summer is not to eat too much cold drinks, you can drink more boiled water.

2 Reduced nutrient intake Protein is an important substance necessary for hair production and nourishment, but due to the sultry weather, people like light food, and the intake of meat food is relatively reduced. If the body's protein supply is insufficient, hair will fall off easily. Therefore, in summer, you should pay attention to protein intake, and eat more foods that contain iron, calcium, vitamin A, etc. that have a nourishing effect on the hair, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, soy products, and sesame seeds.

3 Excessive heat radiation In summer, ultraviolet rays hit the head directly, and thermal radiation can cause strong irritation to the skin of the human head, causing damage to the hair. Therefore, you should protect your hair like the skin, avoid sun exposure to the head, and less activity in the sun. When going out, it is best to wear a sun hat or hold a parasol.

4 Frequent inflammation Folliculitis, furuncle, and carbuncle are prone to occur on the scalp in summer, which can make the hair base unstable and easily cause hair loss. In summer, you should pay attention to clean hair and wash your hair frequently. When washing your hair, rub your scalp with the tips of your fingers to promote blood circulation in the head. Do not scratch your scalp with your nails.

5 stay up late Studies have shown that hair loss has no obvious relationship with the length of sleep, but it may be related to sleep quality. The time to fall asleep at night is related to hair loss. People who often stay up late and work overtime are prone to hair loss. Long-term tension, anxiety, and fatigue make the quality of sleep worse and can also aggravate hair loss. Therefore, improving living habits, maintaining a relaxed state of mind, and improving sleep quality can help improve hair loss.

6 smoking Smoking is one of the risk factors for hair loss, but which harmful substances in cigarettes have a destructive effect on hair follicles needs to be further scientifically verified.

7 Chinese medicine believes that there are two reasons for hair loss, one is blood heat and wind dryness, blood heat is partial, yin blood is consumed, blood tiger generates wind, and yin blood is damaged. The second is the dampness and heat of the spleen and the stomach, the spleen is weak, and the spleen is weak. It will eat the fat and sweet taste, which will damage the stomach and damage the spleen. . However, Chinese medicine uses different reasons and performance characteristics to dialectically treat and regulate organs, so as to nourish hair roots and regenerate hair.

How to prevent hair loss on diet

Eat more vegetables to prevent constipation. It is necessary to insist on eating more grains and fruits all year round. If the intake of vegetables is reduced, it is easy to cause constipation and "stain the blood", which affects the quality of hair. Hemorrhoids can also accelerate hair loss on the top of the head.

Supplement iron. People with frequent hair loss often lack iron in their bodies. Iron-rich foods include soybeans, black beans, eggs, octopus, shrimp, cooked peanuts, spinach, carp, bananas, carrots, potatoes, etc.

Supplement plant protein. With dry hair and split ends, you can eat more soybeans, black sesame seeds, corn and other foods.

Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits that contain alkaline substances. One of the factors for hair loss and yellowing of hair is the acidic toxins in the blood, which is caused by excessive physical and mental fatigue, long-term overeating of pure sugars and fatty foods, causing acid toxins in the metabolic process of the body. The acidic substances in foods such as liver, meat, onions, etc. are likely to cause excessive acid toxins in the blood, so eat less.

Supplement iodine. The luster of the hair is related to the function of the thyroid gland. Iodine supplementation can enhance the secretory function of the thyroid gland, which is conducive to the health of the hair. Eat more kelp, seaweed, oysters and other foods.

Supplement vitamin E. Vitamin E can resist hair aging, promote cell division, and make hair grow. Eat more fresh lettuce, cabbage, black sesame, etc.

Hair-growth black beans: 500 grams of black beans, 1000 ml of water (1/4 amount in summer). Wash the black beans, put them in a casserole, add water, and simmer until the beans are saturated with water. Then take out the black beans, sprinkle a little salt, and store in a porcelain bottle. Take 6 grams each time, 2 times a day after meals, with warm water. This recipe has the effect of hair growth and hair care.

Ten secret tricks

Combing hair in the morning and evening: Combing hair a hundred times a day in the morning and evening can stimulate the scalp and improve the ventilation between the hair. Since the scalp is a place where sweating and soiling are easy, combing hair diligently can help prevent hair loss and dandruff.

Change the direction of combing: If the direction of combing remains the same, the part where the hair slits are separated will be particularly dry or thin due to the fact that they are often exposed to sunlight. Sometimes you may wish to change the direction of hair separation to help avoid hair loss.

Head massage: Head massage is best for adolescent hair loss, because head massage can promote blood circulation, make hair soft, improve metabolism, and promote hair development. The method of massage is to rub or tighten the hair with fingers. Before massage, apply hair oil on the scalp to prevent hair loss.

Salt water prevention and treatment of hair loss method: Dissolve 100-150 grams of salt in a half bowl of warm water, soak it in the hair, rub it for a few minutes, add appropriate amount of shampoo and continue washing, and then rinse it twice with water. Once a week, 2 to 3 times can be effective.

Pay attention to drying your hair reasonably: wet hair is fragile and fragile, so when you dry hair, it is advisable to press and pat dry with a dry towel instead of rubbing it with a towel. The high heat of the hair dryer can damage the hair. When using it, the blowing temperature should be low but not high. Note that the hair that is still dripping and has been dried is not suitable for drying. It is best to let the hair dry naturally.

Wash your hair frequently: The best interval between washing your hair is 2-5 days. While shampooing, you need to rub and massage at the same time, which can keep the scalp clean and invigorate the blood.

Do not use strong degreasing or alkaline shampoos: These shampoos are highly degreasing and dehydrating, and are easy to cause dry hair and scalp necrosis. You should choose an acid-free natural shampoo that is non-irritating to the scalp and hair, or choose according to your own hair quality.

Eliminate mental depression: unstable mental state, daily anxiety can cause hair loss, the deeper the depression, the faster the hair loss. For women, with a busy life and maintaining a proper amount of exercise, their hair will be radiant and black and full of vitality. Contrary to men, the more stressful life and the busier the work, the higher the chance of hair loss. Therefore, frequent deep breathing, walking, relaxing gymnastics, etc. can eliminate the mental fatigue of the day.

Poorer survival in obese colorectal cancer patients possibly linked to lower chemotherapy doses

Lugano, Switzerland, 2 July 2021 – Obese patients with colorectal cancer get lower cumulative doses of adjuvant chemotherapy, relative to their body area (BSA), than non-obese patients, reveal arise from a big meta-analysis reported at the ESMO World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer 2021 (1). Further findings revealed that cumulative relative chemotherapy dosage was connected with survival so might discuss the poorer survival that has actually been seen in obese patients getting adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. (2)

“Adjuvant chemotherapy is dosed according to a person’s body surface area, which is calculated from their height and weight. But in obese patients (with a high body mass index (BMI), and who are more likely to have high BSAs), doses are often capped, or based on an idealised weight, because of concern that large doses might increase side-effects. This means that obese patients may receive proportionately lower doses of chemotherapy” reported lead author Corinna Slawinski, from the Division of Cancer Sciences, University of Manchester, UK.

“Our study has demonstrated an association between increasing body mass index and modest reductions in the cumulative relative dose of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer. And we also saw an association between increased cumulative relative dose and improved survival,” she stated. “This supports the recently published ASCO guidance that full, weight-based chemotherapy doses should be used to treat obese adult patients” (3)

Commenting on the findings, Elizabeth Smyth, Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, UK, member of the ESMO Faculty for Gastrointestinal tumours, stated: “Dose reductions for high BMI may be associated with lower cure rates in resected colon cancer treated with adjuvant chemotherapy.” She included: “Adjuvant chemotherapy has the potential to cure patients with residual micrometastatic disease following curative surgery, so it is important that we maximise the benefits for all patients.”

A variety of previous research studies have actually revealed that obese patients with colorectal cancer have even worse results than non-obese patients. But constraints with these research studies made it tough to draw conclusions as to whether having a greater body mass index was straight connected with survival or if the association was due to other aspects such as treatment (i.e. dosage administered).

“One important factor is how chemotherapy doses are calculated for individual patients. We carried out our study to better understand the relationship between BMI, chemotherapy dosing and survival in colorectal cancer,” described Slawinski.

The OCTOPUS research study evaluated information for 7269 patients getting adjuvant chemotherapy after alleviative surgical treatment for colon and/or rectal cancer in 4 big, randomised trials. The scientists analyzed the relationship in between BMI and chemotherapy dosing and the relationship in between chemotherapy dosing and survival.

“We looked at two ways of measuring how much chemotherapy had been received as a proportion of actual-to-expected standard doses: average cumulative relative dose (ACRD) and average relative dose intensity (ARDI).” ACRD is the percentage of the overall anticipated basic dosage (per system of body area) over the entire chemotherapy course that has really been gotten. ARDI nevertheless, likewise considers the period of treatment, and is the percentage of the predicted basic dosage strength (the overall dosage per system of BSA, divided by the variety of weeks of treatment) that has really been gotten. With both steps balanced over the variety of drugs in the routine, and revealed as a portion.

Results revealed that 5% increments in ACRD were substantially connected with enhancements in disease-free survival (risk ratio 0.953, 95% self-confidence interval 0926, 0.980, p=0.001). Overall survival was likewise connected with ACRD. However, there was no considerable association with ARDI. Slawinski recommended that the absence of association in between survival and ARDI might be since ARDI is a less delicate procedure of decreases in overall (cumulative) dosage of chemotherapy.

Further findings revealed that each BMI boost of 5kg/m2 was connected with a 2% decrease in the relative dosage of chemotherapy in the very first cycle of chemotherapy and 1% decreases in both ACRD and ARDI. This implies an obese client with a BMI of 37.5kg/m2 would have a 3% decrease of ACRD and ARDI compared to a non-obese client with a BMI of 22.5kg/m2.

“These results showed that elevated BMI is associated with a reduced relative dose of chemotherapy in the first treatment cycle and a modest reduction in ACRD. These indirect effects through sub-optimal treatment might explain poorer survival in obese patients, rather than direct effects of obesity resulting from, for example, tumour biology,” concluded Slawinski. “Our results so far support giving obese patients a full dose of chemotherapy based on their body weight. But we are still exploring toxicity data, examining the relationship between BMI, dose capping, toxicity and survival,” she warned. “Toxicity has the potential to reduce quality of life and can be life threatening. And there may also be other reasons for reducing chemotherapy doses, such as comorbidities, so it is important that dosing and treatment decisions are individualised to the patient.”

Smyth concurred: “The main message from this study is that we should consider whether dose reductions are necessary in patients with a high BMI when treating them with adjuvant chemotherapy.” But she included: “Dosing chemotherapy is complex and includes not only weight but fitness, co-morbidities including renal function and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) testing results.”

Smyth thought about that more research studies are required prior to altering practice. “Prospective studies examining the impact of higher doses of chemotherapy may be needed, especially as there is an increase in the proportion of patients diagnosed with cancer and who are obese.” For now, she concluded: “We should take all aspects of the patient into account when making chemotherapy dosing decisions. Dose reductions do seem to be associated with less good survival in this study, but these may still be required for safety.”

Background: After alleviative surgical treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC), some research studies show poorer survival in obese patients. Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for CRC is frequently topped at a body area (BSA) 2.2m2, possibly lowering chemotherapy typical cumulative relative dosage (ACRD) and typical relative dosage strength (ARDI) in obese patients.

Methods: Individual participant-level information from MOSAIC, SCOT, PROCTORSCRIPT and CHRONICLE (CRC-ACT) randomised-trials, with derivable BMI, BSA and chemotherapy doses, were consisted of from the OCTOPUS consortium. ARDI and ACRD were computed as portions of real to anticipated (complete BSA-based) dosage strength (cumulative dose/treatment period in weeks) or cumulative dosage respectively, balanced throughout the drugs in the routine. A two-stage random-effects meta-analyses of direct or Cox proportional threats regression designs were carried out to check out BMI-ARDI/-ACRD and ARDI-/ACRD-survival relationships respectively. The main result was disease-free survival (DFS), and secondary results were general (OS) and cancer-particular (CSS) survival, in addition to ARDI and ACRD. All designs where changed for age, sex, efficiency status, t-stage and n-stage (in addition to BMI in the survival designs).

Results: 7269 patients were qualified. BMI 5kg/m2 increments were connected with a 2.04% decrease in cycle 1 dosage (95% CI:-2.45,-1.64; p

ACRD 5% increments were connected with enhanced DFS (HR 0.953 (0.926, 0.980); p=0.001), OS (HR 0.931(0.908, 0.955); p

Conclusion: ACRD is more crucial than ARDI in figuring out survival. Elevated BMI is connected with a lowered cycle 1 dosage and a modest ACRD decrease. These indirect impacts through under-treatment may discuss poorer survival in obese patients, instead of direct impacts of weight problems arising from, for instance, tumour biology.

Need to Be a Higher Scientist Take an Improv Class

Six years in the past, I used to be an invertebrate keeper (learn: bugs) within the Herpetology Division (learn: reptiles) on the internationally famend Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. As a part of my job, I used to be tasked with presenting a reside animal present that includes venomous snakes and lizards. It is one factor to offer a public speak to tons of of individuals, one other to do it 3 times every week, and an entire different ball sport to do it whereas (safely) showcasing a rattlesnake! I struggled. Not simply with the general public talking, but additionally with discovering a strategy to authentically join with my viewers and have a bit of stage presence. So, I signed up for an Improv 101 class. It was a purposeful and terrifying determination for an introvert, however I am so grateful I made the leap. I am now extra assured and comfy on stage, I am honest and humorous with my audiences, and I've had large skilled development on account of my enhanced ability set. I turned an efficient science communicator, and alternatives opened up. Bringing humor into science is not a secret: NASA is presently taking a look at sending a group to Mars, and based mostly on analysis by Jeffrey Johnson, an anthropologist on the College of Florida, one member might be a category clown. After learning tight-knit and remoted crews on behalf of the house company, Johnson discovered that it is vitally necessary to have people which can be humorous as a result of they enhance morale and construct bridges--critical when flying in house (or salmon fishing in Alaska or science-ing in Antarctica). Analysis has proven that acceptable use of humor in knowledgeable setting is advantageous to people and groups. Each scientist ought to take a web page out of NASA's playbook: be humorous to additional your mission, your funding and even your profession. And the simplest and quickest strategy to turn out to be a greater, extra relaxed jokester is to take an improv class. Take the leap! If you happen to're not prepared to try this, a minimum of be taught some improv tips: Open your ears. Listening is not simply ready to your flip to speak.

Lively listening results in open-mindedness, helps you see new concepts and retains your perspective positive--all of that are important for any collaborative scientist. If you happen to've ever been useless set on a speculation solely to search out your self unsupported by colleagues or by information, it is a bonus to coach your self for the sudden. Scientists may discover their aha! second whereas lightheartedly conversing with mates. Inspiration can come from wherever, as soon as an individual lets go, listens and contributes. Interact in dialogue. A comic analyzes the mundane from a wide range of angles and finds the thread between two factors. Connecting two seemingly disparate concepts conjures up smiles on the sudden twist. Likewise, an improviser is comedically educated to suppose "yes, and..." It is necessary to say sure to good concepts, however that is not fairly sufficient. Following up with "and" begins a dialogue. For instance, contemplate how and-ing helps develop the scientific scope of a mission: Scientist 1: "Let's send a probe to the asteroid Bennu." Scientist 2: "Yes, let's go to Bennu and retrieve a sample." Have enjoyable. Humorous scientists are higher lecturers and communicators. With the ability to insert puns, alliteration and jokes into their displays helps scientists talk with their audiences. In order for you folks to be taught, they should pay attention. And you will get them listening by getting them laughing. Basically, the funniest particular person within the room will get the eye. That spotlight ought to go to you and your work!

Ricochet, swing and a convenient bat, Craig Overton can sparkle in the event that he controls his outrage

Craig Overton isn't as quick as his twin sibling Jamie, however is the better bowler of the two and is set to play in the principal Ashes Test at the Gabba. Photo: Ian Hitchcock/Getty Images

In the midst of the hurly-beefy and hot air that unavoidably goes with the weeks prior to the Brisbane Test England have experienced some honest to goodness issues. Ben Stokes is still in the northern side of the equator and prone to stay there; Steven Finn turned into the late supplanting who left ahead of schedule with a knee issue; Jake Ball bent a lower leg in Adelaide; youthful quick bowlers like Tom Curran and George Garton have been summoned from a remote place. In any case, there might be a recipient from every one of these misfortunes and that is Somerset's Craig Overton.

Overton was chosen in the first visit party in front of Finn yet the presumption was that he would be there as the new kid on the block, to learn, to enhance and potentially to play a Test or two later in the arrangement. At the point when Stokes was sidelined the entryway was partially open; there was the shot he could press into the group as the fourth seamer, halfway in view of his batting ability. Presently, after the wounds to Finn and Ball, that entryway is totally open. Overton is on course to play in Brisbane.

So he may need to get more consideration from the Aussies. From Townsville onwards they may try to undermine the new kid's certainty. "Batting ability? He got a couple in the last match". They could even dig up the renowned slur coordinated at Mark Waugh every one of those years prior – "he's not even the best cricketer in his family". The reality of the matter is that twin sibling Jamie is a speedier bowler with incredible potential yet the details show that the senior Overton, by a couple of minutes, is right now the better wager - and less obstructed by damage.

There will be no less than one Australian wishing Overton well while as yet seeking after a home triumph at the Gabba. Chris Rogers, the previous Test opener, knew the Overtons well before he wound up as their skipper at Somerset in 2016. Rogers played for North Devon CC at Instow, a charming waterfront setting if the breeze isn't blowing too furiously, when the twins were in shorts and their dad was in the group.

The Overtons are pleased Devonians. They went to West Buckland School close Barnstaple, similar to one of Somerset's deplorable saints of the past, Harold Gimblett. They advanced through the Devon youth framework and on to the Somerset Academy. Aside from the unavoidable anxiety breaks en route there was never much uncertainty they would wind up noticeably immense resources for the club.

The twins are just about indistinguishable. At the point when the South African mentor, Dave Nosworthy, came to Somerset he conceded he would never disclose to them separated until the point when he saw them knocking down some pins. Craig does not run so far as Jamie, the procedure is marginally less distracted and there isn't the same quick quest for pace. He can swing the ball away; exploiting his stature (both are 6ft 5in) he can hit the shoulder of the bat more regularly than most and is more precise than his sibling. Craig has just been chosen for England white-ball squads while never playing – there was much murmuring and protesting at Taunton this late spring when he was discarded from the T20 coordinate there against South Africa. Truth be told he is as of now a greatly improved red-ball bowler.

There have been difficulties en route. The most disturbing originated from an episode at Sussex in 2015 when Overton mishandled Ashar Zaidi. He was thusly prohibited for two matches. At the time this may have been viewed as the gullible upheaval of a youthful torch – for the Overtons have dependably been confrontational cricketers. That was my underlying presumption. At that point conversing with umpires it ended up plainly clear that Overton's conduct on the field was again and again close to the edge and eventually reckless. Any normal bowler looks to sustain a decent compatibility with the umpires.

Matthew Maynard, at that point the mentor at Somerset, recognized there was more to this than over-extravagance. There were genuine outrage issues and master direction was looked for. It is to the credit of both Maynard and Overton that they perceived an issue, tended to it and it appears to have been settled.

In 2017 Overton, alongside Jack Leach, was a key supporter of Somerset's survival in the main division. However his everything rounder status melted away – with a most noteworthy score of 46 in the Championship and a normal in the adolescents. He can bat, notwithstanding what they think in Adelaide. He is a characteristic striker of the ball however he isn't yet sufficient to endeavor long Test coordinate style innings. So on the off chance that he plays at the Gabba he should stay with what has worked previously: to be mean with the ball and forceful with the bat. What's more, in the event that he succeeds anticipate that Rogers will be one of the first to salute him, but with a deliberately camouflaged whisper.

THAT TREE by Mark Hirsch is a total colour, 10 × 10 in, 192 webpage hardcover manual chronicling a year in the lifestyle from a lonesome Bur maple plant. In the air the roots expand till they have created an intertwining cyndrical tube around the locker from the range, typically resulting in the fatality from the hold plant. If the samples are heavy, that will certainly be actually easier to enhance the tree structure making use of weight-based pre-pruning standard including min_weight_fraction_leaf, which make sure that leaf nodes consist of at the very least a fraction from the overall sum from the example body weights. I excitedly applied for a dollar costs for its own home, as well as left it at the bottom of the plant trunk. If you cherished this article and you also would like to receive more info with regards to bull terrier rescue (http://kampyoga.info/) i implore you to visit our own webpage. However, Tree from Hope is the sunshade charitable organization which has sustained 1000s of individual little ones's advocate almost 25 years.

These tree octopuses recede yearly along with the transforming from the leaves, falling to the ground where they are after that compiled due to the neighborhood Hominoids as pleasant Loss snack foods. Thereby, a provided woody species might be actually a tree in one collection from habitats within its variation and also a shrub in other places. Records for plant circumference (evaluated a metre or two above the ground) are actually had by baobab (Adansonia digitata) of Africa and the Mexican swamp cypress (Taxodium mucronatum). Once a plant has actually passed a light check and also picked a dimension to try, it inspects if there sufficients space for its own opted for dimension. A tree capable of acquiring heights from 20 metres (65 feet) as well as an escalate of 30 metres (ONE HUNDRED feet), it has a large trunk; the branches include as high as 80 per-cent water as well as very little timber cells Coming from its bottom transmits a cycle of rootlike outgrowths broad good enough for an individual to rest on. Through nonpayment tree performs not imprint concealed documents (those beginning with a dot'. '). In no activity does plant print the report unit constructs'.'(current listing) and also'.'(previous directory site). Nonedible plant products capitalized on commercially consist of rosin, turpentine, tanbark, kapok, creosote, and also stopper fibre. Plant Journeys is an amazing new exterior task that delivers an experience unlike everything else. The Significant Kusu Tree of Kayashima, as the camphor plant is actually known, is actually more mature compared to most files, yet authorities estimate that this has actually been actually around for a minimum of 700 years. Think about performing dimensionality decline (PCA, ICA, or Attribute choice) before you start to offer your tree a much better odds from discovering components that are discriminative. The world plant is also an integral part from Mesoamerican folklores, where it stands for the 4 cardinal instructions (north, southern, eastern, and west ). The idea of the planet tree is additionally very closely connected to the concept of the Tree of life. One more tree made in Scotts Lowland, CA off Cork Maple (Quercus suber) was account Frame. Making use of multi-output plants for regression is shown in Multi-output Choice Tree Regression In this instance, the input X is a solitary true market value and also the results Y are actually the sine as well as cosine of X. Being brand-new to the citrus business, we performed our very own on-farm test with tree T-PEE as well as in a short time frame, our company found a significant variation in water savings and also tree development. Plant octopus varieties, including the imperiled Pacific Northwest Plant Octopus, are actually several of the most elusive animals known to Male. The sacred fig is actually a distinctive example this, developing added 'trunks' by expanding adventitious roots below the branches, which then enlarge up when the origin achieves the ground to develop new boots; a solitary sacred fig plant can easily have manies such trunks. Fabric as well as interweaved fabrics helped make coming from skin, leaves, and also other plant parts were made use of for garments. Right now, the neighboring structures' home windows encounter the plant so the youngsters inside could see it regularly. Case: A photo reveals Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau irrigating a tree in the rainfall. Features a plant without just about anything starting with instance or containing 'bin' or 'lib' as specified in the patern. Visit the tree treatment Public library for plant treatment tips, conservation groups in your area, a sprinkling calendar, and also much more. Qualified plant care carriers (arborists) are actually people knowledgeable in the treatment had to preserve a plant's lifespan and also lasting benefits. Mechanisms including pruning (not currently supported), establishing the minimal amount of examples demanded at a fallen leave node or even establishing the maximum depth from the tree are actually necessary to prevent this trouble. I propose this be named Octopus paxarbolis var if you think that it is actually a seperate subspecies. The stoutest living single-trunk varieties in size is the African baobab: 15.9 m (52 feet), Glencoe baobab (assessed near the ground), Limpopo Province, South Africa 6 This plant separated in Nov 2009 and right now the stoutest baobab might be Sunland Baobab (South Africa) with size 10.64 m as well as circumference of 33.4 m. Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia), highest from the yuccas, from time to time getting to 35 feets. This tree created ideal close to an all-natural lava pool as well as began to shed shortly after. The influences are vital given that they may result in monetary losses as a result of tree harm and resultant removal or even substitute expenses, along with transgression from authorities regulations or even community or even neighborhood regulations. Thuja plicata is really the taxonomic name for the Western Redcedar plant that this octopus refers to as home. Before the school was actually installed 2007, the tree was a well-known spot for little ones to climb as well as hang out. The sacred fig is a remarkable example of this particular, forming extra 'torsos' through developing adventitious roots down from the divisions, which after that expand up when the root meets the ground to develop new boots; a single sacred fig tree could have thousands of such boots. Cloth as well as interweaved materials made from bark, leaves behind, as well as various other plant components were used for clothing. Right now, the surrounding buildings' windows experience the tree so the children inside may see it continuously. Insurance claim: A photo reveals Canadian Head of state Justin Trudeau sprinkling a tree in the rainfall. Presents a tree without everything starting along with example or including 'bin' or 'lib' as specified in the patern. See the plant treatment Public library for tree treatment ideas, stewardship groups in your area, a printable sprinkling schedule, and also much more. Expert plant treatment suppliers (arborists) are actually people experienced in the treatment needed to sustain a tree's daily life and also long-term perks. However Berman is actually likewise curious about an option that returns Ulrich's hospital-window finding: probably that is enough just to take a look at a plant. Considering that little varieties in the records may lead in a completely different tree being generated, decision trees may be actually unstable. In order to increase a 2 × 2 tree (be this spruce, jungle or dark maple), four saplings should be positioned adjacent to each other in a square. Tree covers are created from roughly circular clusters from leaves concerning 5-7 sections all over, fixated segments of boot or branches. The issue of knowing an optimal decision tree is recognized to be NP-complete under numerous components of optimality as well as for simple ideas. For growth to be successful, there might be no blocks adjoining (even diagonally) to the north-western sapling (which is actually looked at the center of the plant) around the ultimate height from the plant. Vegetation are actually worked with in each of the major groups of the vascular plants: pteridophytes (seedless general vegetations that consist of the plant brushes ), gymnosperms (cycads, ginkgoes, and conifers ), and also angiosperms (blooming plants). Emmy's photographes of this recently unclassified tree octopus types were actually also fuzzy for also our most enhanced cephalopod-image processing modern technology to boost. As opposed to remaining on the branches, the home he designed coils an evergreen. Plant covers are actually composed of fallen leave blocks, and also develop 1 block above the greatest wood block (besides that from the large oak plant, who leaves behind expand 3 blocks higher). A variety of companies have long recognized the relevance from building tasks that impact plant health. The leaves take in sunshine as well as usage water as well as food coming from the origins to earn the plant grow, as well as to recreate. A lot of noteworthy from the group is actually the banyan tree (F. benghalensis) of India; its own countless set roots develop into additional trunks that support the widespreading head of huge, regularly expanding limbs. In a wonderful house ben not simply ships from gold and also of silver yet also of plant and from earth.

The Alpha Knights 2nd Division

No better time than now to continue posting these arts of the Alpha Knights. The 1st Division was posted back in February geez.

As stated in the short lore dump in the first Alpha Knight post, the planet Zen is under attack by hostile alien creatures known as Nerosians.

The 26 Alpha Knights that defend Zen are divided into 4 Divisions “A-F” “G-M” “N-T” “U-Z” with Alpha Knights A, G, T and Z being the Division Leaders.

Once the chosen descend to the status of Alpha Knight they awaken the power to link to mystical Alpha Armor which takes on the representation of various animals and divine beasts, covering their body in a fierce shield and making them into a weapon.

Gaia (32) Leader of the 2nd Division, Gaia is armed with the Lambada Octopus Unit along her back and four Lambada Light Scythes. The Octopus Unit has four slots that the Scythes can fit into, allowing her to command them in battle. She can also wield them separately and be a true reaper on the battlefield.

Helena (21) All citizens of Zen have the ability to feel out the presence of one another. With the arrival of Nerosians they discovered that the vile enemies have a specific sense so those who wish to ascend to Alpha Knight, hone that sense. Helena lacks this sense but her ingenuity drove her to develop her visor which picks up the slack for her. She is infatuated with Gaia. Helena is armed with two Theta Claws, powerful weapons she uses to tear everything apart

Ivan (37) An older member of the Alpha Knights who lived through the Pliskin Incident in which he lost his eye. Lexor granted him a replacement eye and he now serves as part of LIST. Ivan is armed with a pair of Nu Clubs that he can rope around his arms and swing around as blunt battering weapons and he is a practitioner of Upsilon HydroFreeze which functions as water and ice magic.

Janie (28) A brave and selfless Alpha Knight who is in a relationship with Kruse. She’s very mindful of the task at hand and always the first the charge ahead and take on Nerosians in defense of the realm. Her long and thin Gamma Blade cleaves through all enemies with perfection, her swordplay is graceful and flawless.

Kruse (29) A cheerful and able Alpha Knight who is in a relationship with Jaynix. He seeks to understand how the Nerosians came to be in order to find a way to destroy them forever. He hopes to attain true peace for Zen in his lifetime. His jagged Delta Blade rips enemies apart in gruesome fashion. His movements in battle are wild and fierce.

Lexor (30) A quiet, reserved and highly intelligent Alpha Knight who formed LIST to keep himself safe from the many forces after him. He studies a tome that was retrieved from a Nerosian General, seeking to use the Nerosians’ own power to enhance himself.

Maya (28) A damaged Alpha Knight betrayed by Pliskin during the Pliskin Incident and severely harmed as a result. Her boyfriend at the time Frings, was stripped of his Alpha Knight title after the Incident and gave his Eta Hatchet to her. She is quiet, thoughtful but also seeks to ensure the trauma she suffered never affects anyone else. A skilled archer, she wields the Alpha Shot, a bow armed with five elemental variants of arrows: Freeze, Shock, Hydro, Blaze and Earth.

Hi would people be interested if I made an ask blog for my splatoon ieytd au?

The brainworms, I fear are getting to me

[kitkatyes]

i'm very bored rn so ramble time :]

so,,, octo expansion is like, peak Zoraxis activity

we got the mysterious phone guy who literally wants to eradicate everything (cough cough, death engine parallels cough cough) and agent 8 being the person to stop it. THE FACT THAT THEY'RE CALLED AGENT !!

We also got the random tasks. like, i can imagine fabby putting that together. i mean when WOULD be sadistic enough to make the stupid 8-ball levels

can I talk about the agent 3 fight,,, they're literally being controlled against their own will

it givies me hivemind vibes,, his mind control and all that

and like agent 8 is SO phoenix with amnesia,,, and like pearl and marina act so much like reggie. they literally communicate with 8 using textlogs an stuff hhhhh they can be reggie and prism, as a treat

anyway, its like,, phoenix escaping from the grasps of Zoraxis before being recruited for the agency

[kitkatyes]

Yeagh thinking about the enhanced octopus division again,,, have my delusional doodles and character designs I have yet to render/finalise

[kitkatyes]

hyperfixating on my own au, i fear

so you know what that means-- more character designs !!

everyone say hello to Hivemind and Fabby (+individuals)

I'm also gonna try and explain their roles but like, I'm still figuring them out so it's all subject to change

Starting with Hivemind:

He's quite integral to everything; consider them the lead person behind the whole sanitisation thing. All things considered, he's a little dorky and sorta backs off from everyone but is really passionate about his work (albeit, a little close-guarded about the inner workings)

And the Fabricator:

She's like, the second in command. You know how I made Zor the bear archer? Well, I like to think she maintains that, uh, vessel. She's also, like, the head designer behind the deepsea metro (I'm probably gonna change that name at some point to something more zoraxis-y)-- aka, the levels you play through during octo expansion

shes definitely someone most of the other zoraxis employees look to for guidance (they're all terrified of even mentioning zor lmao) So, fabby's kinda like a pseudo-boss

[kitkatyes]

Thinking about my Splatoon au again, have Phoenix

And the individual designs !!

[kitkatyes]

once again, I am still thinking of ieytd and splatoon

so, behold: bear archer with the goop

[kitkatyes]

god did NOT want me to figure out reggies design for the ieytd splatoon au <- foolishly spilt my OPEN water bottle on their sketchbook page
