Disclaimer: I don't own Beast King GoLion.

Author Note: This is Fem Akira/Fala pairing, but the duo are just realizing their feelings for the other. This has three scenes that could have gone slightly different if Akira had been born female.

"Fem Akira"

~Episode 2~

"Daibazaal plundered all the treasure on Altea, destroying us." Raible paused before he swung his cane at the group. Hiroshi and Tsuyoshi jumped while Akira and Isamu ducked briefly before Isamu and Takashi jumped out of the way. Akira straightened up and blocked with her spear.

"What gives?" Tsuyoshi demanded.

"I knew it. He was just making us let our guard down!" Hiroshi exclaimed.

"What the hell's going on here?" Akira questioned.

Raible was surprised to see that there was a woman in the group.

"I had to test your skills," Raible answered. "Especially since one of you is a woman."

"Just because Chief is a woman doesn't mean she can't fight," Isamu jumped in. "She's as capable as any of us!"

"Moody, that's enough," Akira said.

"Agreed. The princess will welcome you five indeed."

The group looked up the staircase to see a lovely young woman in a pink dress. She smiled and slowly descended the staircase. Raible explained how he and the princess survived the attack as Fala came to a stop at the bottom of the stairs.

Akira had to figuratively pick her jaw off the ground. The princess was breathtakingly gorgeous. She had to gather her wits about her because she barely heard the princess asking for their names.

"Kogane Akira." Akira had no idea how she was able to say her name without stuttering.

"Shirogane Takashi."

"Kurogane Isamu."

"Seidou Tsuyoshi."

"Suzuishi Hiroshi."

As the princess told her sad tale, Akira couldn't help but feel for her. As the tears fell from her blue eyes, Akira wanted to brush those tears away and perhaps even comfort her. Akira mentally shook herself as Raible interjected himself into the conversation, but she still missed the entire conversation until GoLion was mentioned. The leader focused on what was being told to her team. Even thought she was hesitant, there was no way she was going to make the decision for everyone. She looked to her right at Takashi, who said, "If we don't kill Daibazaal, there's no way we'll survive!"

"He's right. Let's fight Daibazaal!" Akira agreed. She was happy to see the tears were no longer coursing down the princess's face. The smile on her face drew Akira's attention even as Isamu, Tsuyoshi, and Hiroshi added their comments.

Fala held her hand out, clearly indicating that the team should kiss the back of it.

Everyone laid down their spears, and Akira approached, knelt down, and grasped her hand. She laid a kiss on it and stood up, nodding to the princess. Before she stood aside for her teammates to do the same, Fala realized that she was female as well. "A woman?"

Fala's eyes sparkled at the idea of a woman in the leadership position. Takashi stepped up to kiss her hand.

~Episode 7~

Hiroshi, Akira, and Isamu stopped running once they were a few corridors away from the royal governess.

"Geez, now we have some old lady on our hands," Isamu groused.

You said it. I can imagine what's waiting for us," Akira replied. "Especially when she finds out that I'm female."

"No sweat. Just leave this to me," Hiroshi stated.

Just then, the alarms sounded. Of all the reasons for the alarm, the princess trying to fly the Blue Lion wasn't on Akira's list at all. She was impressed with Fala's actions and willingness to put herself in harm's way to protect her planet. Akira found herself wanting to see what the princess could do, and no ranting from the governess could make change her mind.

~Later in Episode 7~

"Just a moment! In a lonely village in the Pierrane Mountains live strong hunters. Maybe one of their men is qualified," Hys stated.

"Men? Women are just as qualified. Kogane is a  woman after all," Fala mentioned.

"Kogane?" Hys questioned.

"The one wearing red and white," Raible clarified.

"The ingrate who told me to shut up is a girl?!" Hys was indignant.

"She is not an ingrate," Fala countered. "She's brave, selfless, intelligent, and beautiful." Fala couldn't help but blush when she thought of the female pilot, and no ranting from either Raible or Hys could prevent her from wanting to get closer to her.

[quotesfrommyreading]

In 2013, neurobiologist Kristin Tessmar-Raible and her colleagues published some of the most compelling evidence of a molecular moon clock in an ocean creature. They studied the marine bristle worm Platynereis dumerilii, which looks like an amber centipede with tiny feathered oars running the length of its body. In the wild, the bristle worm lives on algae and rocks, spinning silk tubes for shelter. While reading studies from the 1950s and ’60s, Tessmar-Raible learned that some wild bristle worm populations achieve maximal sexual maturity just after the new moon, swimming to the ocean surface and twirling in circles in a kind of whirling dervish nuptial dance. The studies suggested that changing levels of moonlight orchestrated this mating ritual. “At first I thought this was really crazy in terms of biology,” says Tessmar-Raible, who notes that she grew up far from the ocean, “but then I started talking to colleagues in marine biology and realized that this might not be so uncommon.”

To learn more, Tessmar-Raible and her colleagues kept bristle worms in plastic boxes, feeding them spinach and fish food, and simulating typical and aberrant moon cycles with an array of standard light bulbs and LEDs. Worms raised in perpetual light or in entirely moonless day-night cycles never displayed reproductive rhythms. But worms reared with periodic nocturnal illumination synced their spawning rituals to the phases of their artificial moon. As suggested by earlier studies, Tessmar-Raible found light-sensitive neurons in the worms’ forebrains. And genetic sequencing revealed that the bristle worm has its own versions of essential molecular clock genes found in terrestrial insects and vertebrates. Tessmar-Raible’s conclusion is that the worms have a robust lunar clock analogous to the more familiar sun-synced circadian clock. “This is an endogenous oscillator,” she says. “Something in the body preserves the memory of those nocturnal illuminations.”

In similar studies, Oren Levy and his colleagues collected pieces of living corals from Heron Island reef and housed them in large outdoor aquaria, some of which were exposed to ambient sunshine and moonlight, some shaded at night to block all moonlight, and some subjected to dim artificial light from sunset to midnight and then kept in the dark until sunrise. Each day for eight days before the estimated night of mass spawning, the researchers collected bits of corals from the different aquaria and analyzed the activity of their genes. The corals in natural conditions spawned as predicted and expressed many genes only during or just before releasing their gametes. Corals subjected to artificial light and deprived of moonlight displayed anomalous gene expression and failed to release their gametes.

Powering Down Hearing

Your hearing depends on hair cells in your inner ear. When loud noises or ageing destroys these cells, it's their mitochondria – the powerhouses of your cells – that are involved in their downfall. Moreover, faults in over 30 genes key to mitochondrial activity are known to cause deafness. Yet little is known about hair cell mitochondria biology. Researchers now investigate in zebrafish. Using serial block-face scanning electron microscopy, they found mitochondria are more densely packed in hair cells (pictured, white) compared with support cells. These mitochondria also had a distinct architecture – multiple small mitochondria in the upper halves of cells and fine networks in the lower halves. In zebrafish with a faulty opa1 gene – a gene known to be mutated in human deafness – mitochondria function was disrupted. In mutants where hair cell mechanics were disrupted, so too was mitochondria architecture. This furthers our understanding of mitochondria-related deafness.

Nature's 3D printer: Bristle worms form bristles piece by piece

A new interdisciplinary study led by molecular biologist Florian Raible from the Max Perutz Labs at the University of Vienna provides exciting insights into the bristles of the marine annelid worm Platynereis dumerilii. Specialized cells, so-called chaetoblasts, control the formation of the bristles. Their mode of operation is astonishingly similar to that of a technical 3D printer. The project…

Twitter reaches out to the NFT industry.

In the realm of NFTs and social media, the revelation was a bombshell. With the top NFT marketplaces in the Solana-centric, multi-platform, flow blockchain, and sport-centric genres, Twitter is currently experimenting with the NFT market. The NFT Twitter Tiles integration will show the NFTs in the specific panel and add a call to action (CTA) for simple access. The concerned markets are Raible, Dapper Labs, Magic Eden, and Jump.trade. Many blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Flow, Immutable X, Polygon, and Tezos, are included in these marketplaces.

The marketplaces!

Dapper Labs is a blockchain and software development firm that gained notoriety by introducing NBA-approved best plays and basketball highlights. Users of NFTs can keep royalties and profit from each transaction. Jump.trade is a sports-focused marketplace that is introducing the first-ever cricket NFT platform. The market is a place where the players may buy, sell, and trade cricket NFTs. Magic Eden: Majorly supporting the SOLANA blockchain, Magic Eden is a prominent NFT marketplace offering NFTs based on SOL. Rarible is an open-source platform built on the Ethereum blockchain that enables users to purchase, sell, and trade unique NFTs that represent ownership in digital works.

Conclusion

It is hardly surprising that a large firm like Twitter would want to engage in NFTs given their growing popularity. This merely establishes that NFTs are here to stay for a very long time, and the integration of numerous businesses with blockchain technology is proof of that.

Non-Fungible Token Art Could Have a Huge Impact on the Market for Prints and Multiples

Non-fungible token art is a type of digital artwork that uses a heavy dose of technology to make it possible. This type of artwork works in much the same way as physical artwork does, but it's a digital version that's easier to secure and share. As a result, it could have a huge impact on the market for prints and multiples.

Non-fungible tokens are a form of digital certificate that's attached to an image or other digital media. These can be used for various purposes, including trades and sales. They're also used in digital collectibles, such as trading cards. In many cases, the token is used to collect a set of cards, such as those containing the names of public figures. These can be sold or given away, and are even used in commemorative cards and video games.

Non-fungible tokens allow users to sell anything. Cryptoart include GIFs, trading cards, videos, and more. These can be purchased for thousands of dollars, and they are even used in some online games to sell assets like skins and keys to levels. This has led to non-fungible tokens gaining a significant amount of interest from both artists and consumers. However, they are still a relatively new phenomenon.

Several companies are currently facilitating non-fungible token transactions. One of the most notable is MakersPlace, which is run by an artist. They offer guides for making and selling crypto artwork. In addition, the company partners with some of the most popular artists in the world.

There are also other marketplaces, such as Nifty Gateway and Raible. These companies partner with top creators to create collections and unique items. There's also super rare, which offers single-edition art created by artists in their community.

Non-fungible tokens have become more popular over the past few years. They offer artists a chance to earn royalties by reselling their work. They also give consumers a way to purchase rare collectibles that aren't available anywhere else on the Internet.

Crypto art also act as digital certificates of authenticity. This is useful for those who want to know more about the history of a particular piece of art. This allows consumers to verify that an image is authentic and that a piece is truly unique. This makes it more likely that the buyer will want to pay more for it.

As more and more artists and creators use Non-Fungible Tokens, they'll continue to make it easier and easier to buy and sell digital artwork. While these types of art aren't for everyone, they're a great way to invest in your favorite digital creations. And, with the recent surge in cryptocurrency investments, they're a safe way to put your money to good use.

As more and more NFT markets arise, there's no telling how the art market will change in the future. But one thing is certain: as the technology improves, non-fungible tokens are going to be the future of authentication and trading.

Non-Fungible Tokens Explained: Things You Must Know About NFTs

If you are reading this article, it implies you have arrived on our page. This blog will explain NFTs from A to Z. (non-fungible tokens).

What Is An NFT?

NFT stands for "non-fungible tokens," which are created with the same kind of code that is used to make cryptocurrencies. In simple terms, these cryptocurrencies are based on a technology called "blockchain." They can't be traded or exchanged as other cryptographic assets can. The same as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

NFTs can stand in for real-world things like art and property. "Tokenizing" these real-world physical assets make it easier to buy, sell, and trade them while lowering the chance of fraud.

Collectibles like digital art, sports cards, and rare items make up a big part of the NFT market right now. NBA Top Shot, a place to collect non-fungible tokenized NBA moments on digital cards, is one of the most talked-about places. Some of these cards have been sold for a lot of money.

Jack Dorsey of Twitter (TWTR) recently tweeted a link to a tokenized version of the first tweet, in which he wrote, "Just setting up my twttr." More than $2.9 million was paid for the NFT version of the first tweet.

How NFTs Work

The information about an NFT is published on a blockchain during a process called "minting." At a high level, the minting process involves making a new block, having the NFT's information checked by a validator, and writing down the information. During this minting process, smart contracts are often used to decide who owns the NFT and how it can be transferred.

As soon as a token is made, it is given a unique identifier that is directly linked to a blockchain address. Each token has an owner who owns it, and that person's information (the address where the token lives) is available to the public. Even if 5,000 NFTs of the same exact thing are made, like general admission tickets to a music festival, each ticket has a unique identifier and can be told apart from the others.

Examples of NFTs

Cryptokitties may be the most well-known way that NFTs are used. Cryptokitties are digital representations of cats with unique identifiers on Ethereum's blockchain. crypto kitties were released in November 2017. Each kitty is different and costs a certain amount of ether. They have attributes by mating with each other, and those attributes are different from their parent's in how they look and how much they are worth.

After only a few short weeks on the market, crypto kitties had fans who spent $20 million in ether to buy, feed, and care for them. Some fans have even spent more than $100,000 on the project.

More recently, the Bored Ape Yacht Club has become controversial because of its high prices, its popularity with celebrities, and the fact that some of its 10,000 NFTs have been stolen in public.

Even though the crypto kitties and Bored Ape Yacht Club use cases may seem silly, there are others that are more important for business. For instance, NFTs have been used in both private equity and real estate transactions.

One effect of allowing multiple types of tokens in a contract is that escrow can be set up for different types of non-fungible tokens, from art to real estate, all in one financial transaction.

How Can I Buy NFTs?

Since many NFTs can only be bought with Ether, the first step is usually to get some Ether and store it in a digital wallet. Then, you can buy NFTs on any of the online NFT markets, such as OpenSea, Raible, and SuperRare.

To sum up,

Whether or not you want to invest in NFTs is up to you.

But I hope that this blog post about non-fungible tokens (NFT) has answered all of your questions.

One thing is for sure: NFTs are here to stay because they make some people money and give digital art and artists new ways to work. But we will still tell you to be careful with how you use platforms.

And if you want to make NFTs or join a blockchain, make sure you hire the best blockchain developer.

When you hire a blockchain developer from Owebest Technologies, you can be sure that they will change the blockchain market forever.

Apple will let third-party app stores, providing a boon for NFTs and Cryptocurrency

SilverLineSwap-Crypto News

New EU regulations will compel Apple to allow alternative app stores and programs without requiring users to go via its App Store, which is a gain for creators of cryptocurrency-related apps. In order to comply with new anti-monopolistic regulations from the European Union (EU), tech giant Apple is preparing to allow third-party app stores on its devices.

This may be considered a significant gain for crypto and NFT app developers, at least in Europe. According to a Dec.13 Bloomberg report citing people familiar with the matter, under the new regulations, European customers would be able to download alternative app marketplaces outside of Apple’s exclusive App Store, enabling them to download apps that avoid Apple’s 30% commissions and app restrictions. Apple now has strict guidelines for NFT apps that essentially require users to make in-app purchases subject to a 30% fee from Apple, while apps are not allowed to facilitate cryptocurrency payments.

The self-custody wallet app update from Coinbase was blocked on December 1st as a result of Apple’s enforcement of its regulation because Apple planned to “capture 30% of the gas price” through in-app sales, which is “obviously not possible,” according to Coinbase. The next accusation was that if NFT transactions couldn’t be completed through Apple’s in-app purchase mechanism, Apple wanted the wallet to deactivate them. In reaction to the report that a “crypto app store” may be created and would be a “wonderful candidate” for a venture capital-backed firm, Alex Salnikov, co-founder of NFT marketplace Raible, tweeted on December 13.

In response to the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which seeks to control so-called “gatekeepers” and guarantee that platforms behave fairly, Apple has decided to open its ecosystem. One of the measures allows “third parties to inter-operate with the gatekeeper’s own services.” Businesses must completely comply by May 2024 and it will take effect in May 2023. Apple hasn’t made up its mind on whether or not it would abide by a provision of the Act that permits developers to integrate alternate payment methods within programs that don’t involve Apple.

If it complies, it may allow cryptocurrencies to be used in payment systems. In an effort to shield customers from dangerous apps, the tech giant is considering imposing security standards for software not found in its store, such as Apple certification. Only the EU would be affected by the modifications to Apple’s closed environment; other nations would need to enact legislation with comparable provisions, such as the Open App Markets Act that Senators Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal have suggested for the US Congress.
