ArtFight Character: Dakota McNamara

New ref sheet for Dakota! It had been a minute since I drew him so I wanted to give him an update for ArtFight.

Attack him here:

Dakota (He/Him, 26) is a character I'm playing in an upcoming TTRPG campaign inspired by The Magnus Archives. He's the newest recruit/ case study at an American branch of the institute.

Kota has seen what he can only describe as ghosts for as long as he can remember. These ghosts never spoke, moved, or did anything other than stare blankly into the middle distance. This drove him to going to college [Western Wisconsin CC] to study parapsychology. In November of his second year at WWCC he witnessed one of these ghosts attacking, and eventually killing, his roommate: Jaxon Connors. Initially considered a suspect, Dakota was interrogated and found innocent. Noone believed his story of the poltergeist, instead calling it stress induced hysteria.

Excerpt from this Smithsonian story:

Several hundred starving, sick or injured brown pelicans have turned up on beaches throughout California over the past few weeks, with wildlife officials still unable to pinpoint the cause of what they are calling a “crisis.”

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and other non-governmental partners, have been working to collect and rehabilitate the birds, many of which are anemic, dehydrated and underweight.

“They’re in really poor physical shape. They’re starving, and they haven’t gotten enough nutrition,” Russ Curtis, a spokesperson for the nonprofit organization International Bird Rescue, which is helping in the rescue efforts, tells KQED’s Annelise Finney.

“When there’s not the fishing stock that they can find, they take chances around fishing piers and fishing boats and places where there are people with fishing tackle,” Curtis says, explaining that some pelicans have been hurt by fishing hooks and lines they encounter near the shore.

As of this week, the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center (WWCC) in Huntington Beach and Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network have admitted more than 100 pelicans each, while International Bird Rescue has taken 260 pelicans into its two California facilities—one in Los Angeles County, and one in the San Francisco Bay Area, reports Cheri Carlson of the Ventura County Star.

Other birds have been found dead on beaches. Necropsies have revealed starvation as their cause of death, which has puzzled scientists. Populations of fish that pelican forage, by all accounts, remain abundant off the Pacific coast.

We also know that there’s supposedly plenty of anchovies and their food out there in the ocean, so we don’t really know why they are not able to forage yet,” Debbie McGuire, executive director of the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center, tells Eugene Garcia of theAssociated Press.

Brown pelicans are known to spend their non-breeding months throughout the entirety of the state’s coastline, and the sick birds have been found in a variety of locations. In northern California, most birds have been rescued around Monterey and Santa Cruz, while those in southern California have been found by officials in a variety of traditional and non-traditional habitats. Two dozen pelicans were found on Newport Beach and dozens more were picked up around Huntington Beach—but sick birds have also been identified in a lake at SoFi stadium, the home of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, and at a Malibu fire station, the Guardian’sDani Anguiano reports.In rescue efforts, the first step is to support the birds with warmth. “The great news is the vast majority are recovering if we can get them through those first couple of critical hours of hypothermia,” Elizabeth Wood, the WWCC’s veterinarian and medical director, says in a video posted to Facebook.

A Fox's Tale: Patient 25-307 came to us after being attacked by a coyote. He escaped! Only to fall into a pool. He clambered out! Only to fall into a hot tub. By the time this little Gray Fox made it to our care, he was a little injured, a lot wet, and very upset with the situation. He received a full exam, including a close-up look at his baby teeth, deep into his ear canals, and at his tiny paws. There was a foxtail stuck in his ear, which our veterinarian removed with alligator forceps, and he had abrasions from the coyote encounter. He's resting up now, and we can report that he LOVES apples. Send him your good vibes for a speedy recovery!

Importance of Early Childhood Education Early childhood education is a critical foundation for lifelong learning and development. During the first five years of life, a child's brain undergoes rapid growth, making these formative years crucial for cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development. Quality early childhood education programs provide a structured environment where children can explore, discover, and learn through play, which is essential for fostering creativity and critical thinking skills. Beyond academic preparation, early childhood education helps in developing essential life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Children learn to interact with their peers, navigate social situations, and develop empathy and respect for others. These experiences lay the groundwork for building strong interpersonal relationships and becoming well-rounded individuals. Moreover, investing in early childhood education has significant long term benefits for society. Research shows that children who attend high-quality early education programs are more likely to perform better in school, graduate from high school, and pursue higher education. They are also less likely to engage in criminal activities and are more likely to contribute positively to the community. Thus, early childhood education is not just about individual growth but also about creating a better, more equitable society.

In addition to educational prerequisites, many training providers may require applicants to undergo a Working with Children Check (WWCC) and a National Police Check. These checks are crucial for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children, as they verify that applicants do not have any criminal history that could pose a risk in a childcare setting. It's important for prospective students to be aware of these requirements and ensure they can meet them before applying. Some institutions may also conduct an interview or require applicants to submit a personal statement outlining their interest in early childhood education and their career goals. This helps training providers assess the applicant's suitability for the course and their commitment to pursuing a career in this field. By meeting these admission requirements, prospective students can take the first step towards embarking on a rewarding journey in early childhood education.
