TRANSPARENCY OF COLOURS Interview with Rony Plesl
How has the perception of the glass medium changed? Why is the UMPRUM Glass Studio recently closer to fine art than before? And how can post-revolutionary and contemporary foreign exhibitions be understood?
Read the interview with the head of the UMPRUM Glass Studio, which was written for the occasion of the foreign exhibition Transparency of Colors, being held at the GlazenHuis in Lommel, Belgium, until October 9, 2022. The interview conducted by Ján Gajdušek is accompanied by photographs of exhibited works by students, graduates, and teachers of the studio.
JG We meet now, almost four years after the Colors of Transparency exhibition, which took place in 2018 at the London Design Week and comprehensively summarized the work of students and graduates of the glass studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague over a few years. I wonder if there has been a certain developmental shift in the studio since then and how it manifested itself?
RP I certainly perceive the shift, although it is difficult to map it now, it is a task for the future. At the same time, I do not want to talk about the studio in the sense that we would be on a straight line and at what stage we are now, I cannot fully assess it. Glass, as a material in the liberal arts, is still in its infancy. Many established approaches still need to be changed in order for glass artists to become respected. The glass community closed in on itself, and everyone admired the craft, they admired the beauty of the glass, but less so the ideas. In order for glass to become an established material, which could even be a concept itself, you can count on the fingers of one or two hands the number of people who have succeeded. I have often thought about it and, when I got the chance, I was very nervous at first, namely to run a glass studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. I, in my personal life, preferred to bring students even closer to the world of design to compete and others from the design studios were not party to this. At first, the students were not competitive in the world of design and could not even apply themselves in free art. This was also due to the fact that Professor Kopecký's distinctive and phenomenal personality was basically not exceeded by any of them. In a world of design that didn't teach much, they were completely on their tails. At the time, I thought that I would try to train them in the design area so that they would not take glass only as a separate material, which was only regarded in a certain community, so that they could compete with designers who also used other materials.
As for free art, I didn't dare go into that field at first, just as I didn't dare in my personal life. I thought that I prefered to do quality design, which – as I called my professorial lecture Design and felt art should tear your guts – so to rather do "likable" design, which sells well, which is also one of its functions in order to make pleasing sculptures for sale. Over the years, at the same time, artists began to appear organically in the world who partly switched to glass as a creative material. They are, for example, Roni Horn, Tokujin Yoshioka, Hiroshi Sugimoto and several other personalities. Even Ai Weiwei made highquality works of glass, and others began working with it as a concept such as Dahn Vo. They have all shown me the ways that glass can be used in free art, but one must empathize very well with it and not only perceive its beauty, but rather take in hand its basic essence – that it flows and then suddenly solidifies, that it is a natural material that is constantly moving. Gradually, I also gained the courage to work freely with glass and start talking more about it with my students. Some of them, such as Tadeáš Podracký and Lukáš Novák, began to realize the qualities of this material, which can be opulent or decadent, as Matyáš Chochola now proves in that he can even convey the imaginary flag of Czech decadence and surrealism, which is an important moment I gladly stress. Chochola uses glass as a decadent and surrealistic material, Tadeáš Podracký uses it more organically, perhaps even in the Hirst style, which means they understand the material.
At the same time, the word 'development' is quite a radical term, because studios are often structured according to the head of the studio, who is a role model for them. If someone is studying with Josef Bolf, Jiří Petrbok or Michal Froňek and Jan Němeček, the pupils sometimes take on the style of their professor, which of course also partially happens with some students in my studio. But I think it's a bit more complicated with glass than with studios like painting or sculpture, where philosophy, free art, and certain transitions into spiritual values are discussed. In short, the development was not easy and I myself did not dare to do many things, I had to mature. I have been working in the studio for twelve years now, I have done a lot of my own work and the main reason why I still choose to stay at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague is that I could again develop the path of free art in a certain way. I think the studio just needed that development. When working with a sculptural material, such as metal or stone, for thousands of years, it goes without saying. But this is not the case with glass, there was no Michelangelo, no Giotto, there was only Libenský, Vízner and others. And the development has only been within decades, not hundreds of years. There is another problem with glass. In the Czech lands, glass was cared for more by museums than art historians. When it came to art historians, there were some who focused only on glass, but I think that art historians who chronicle the history of free art and look more to the present, must finally start to take an interest in glass.

JG I agree that glass should be seen as any other creative material. At the same time, however, it is very difficult for a glass artist who has an education and is used to thinking and moving only in the intentions of design, to detach himself from these approaches and succeed in the world of free art. Conversely, for an artist who is trained in the liberal arts and who comes from an imaginary opposite side, the path seems easier for them. In free art, it can be, for example, Matyáš Chochola, who recently chose glass as a material he uses in his free creation. But I wonder if this is your goal? You have twelve years at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, which has resulted in several very successful graduates who work for successful design companies such as Lasvit. At the same time, there is now a turn from design to free art within the studio, so I wonder what your vision is, is your goal such that graduates will be able to succeed in the world of free art?
RP You named it very accurately until I was almost startled by how completely different the two worlds were. Of course, I know that it is very difficult for glassmakers to enter the world of free art, and it is much easier for a person who makes free art to start doing glass. Why is it like this? If you want to use glass as a medium and work with it as a freelance artist, then you actually have to completely reset yourself. It's almost like Christians say, literally a conversion. Christians use this term in the correct sense, because it is related to an absolute and devoted faith in God. A reversal is actually a 180-degree turn, when you start to take everything in your life differently. I understand my conversion to free art as crossing to the other bank, but still traveling along the same river. As such, I don't give up design at all because it's a very strong part of my life. At the same time, however, I think that making free art and working with glass is diametrically different than doing design. Even with some of my students who have gone on to do very good work after graduation, I still feel that there isn't really a story, just visuals in a certain amount of the glassmaking. I also confirmed in myself that the best things I've created are mainly those that have a story and, at the same time, it doesn't matter at all if the pieces are made of glass – so we have the ability to work with another materials.
JG Yes, but I also look at it in such a way that when there is a turnaround, there is still a certain continuity and inertia to the previous events. You have been teaching at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design for twelve years, which has had and still has a certain progression. If there is a turnaround in the approach to free art, I believe that it is the task of artists and students to bring a convincing idea and story into their works. So it seems to me that if the approach of free art is applied to the current continuity of the glass studio, which now lies mainly in design, then design can gain a completely different expression and power.
RP You said that well, but we have to add one important thing to this. Everything we are talking about now is happening at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague and yet it is not happening at the academy. This means that individual responsibility plays a crucial role here. My responsibility, like everyone else who runs our studio, is to educate people who will be valid primarily in their own lives and for themselves, but also for society, for companies cultivating brands, etc. You said a very important thing that plays a significant role in why I dare to go into free art – because the more we talk about free art, the better design we will do. I am a big supporter of free art in the form of the sculpture, painting, etc. studios at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, because if part of the world admires our school, it is because design is created here that is influenced by these free studios.
I think that philosophical lectures, discussions about the meaning of life, etc. enrich a person. I read a book of interviews with Josef Pleskot, who now works the architecture part of my exhibition for the Venice Biennale, and Josef Pleskot is constantly there, as an architect, talking about connecting everything he does with everyday life. This means that when he is given the task of building a bank, he first examines the terrain contours and footpaths on the plot. He looks at where people went, what they planted there, where there is a depression or a stone. From Josef Pleskot, I understood the curse of having a certain humility to do something truly spiritual. When he draws the composition of my sculptures in a church in Venice, it is not a design or architectural composition. This composition is based on the knowledge of Palladian squares and spherical cubes.
I believe that what we are talking about now means that we are on the right track. That we don't look at glass now as though we have to prove something, that we have to dazzle someone. We look at a certain essence – where were the paths, where were the nooks and crannies. And why did Roni Horn produce such good glass pieces? Not because she wants to create dazzling glass, but, because she lives part-time in Iceland, she is a conceptualist, an excellent artist, she has excellent photos, she is simply a complete artist in her own right. But suddenly she grasped the medium of glass because it fit perfectly into her artistic concept and she was looking for a glassworks that would create a hot Icelandic spring.

JG If we look at history, this approach follows a certain development within the studio itself. When I read what pedagogical-artistic procedures were applied within the studio by professors Josef Kaplický, Stanislav Libenský and Vladimír Kopecký, it became clear that, even though it is the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, there was a clear inclination towards free art in their studios. Nevertheless, a number of graduates worked as designers in state glassworks. The current approach that you are beginning to take in the studio is going the other way, from design to free art. At the same time, when it comes to graduates, I perceive that in the reality of today's world we find ourselves in a situation that is mainly about the individual ability to assert themselves in a highly competitive artistic environment. Therefore, in my opinion, moving through the boundaries of free art and design and the ability to function practically in both of these worlds is crucial.
RP Yes, but it's more complicated. Libenský and Kaplický did mostly free art, this is not so true for Kaplický, because the time was different, but Kopecký's graduates in free art started to do design. But you can't make it such a simple rule. I realized when I was pursuing design that, for example, there is a certain tradition to chandelier trimmings, such as Christian; it can have the floor plan of a cathedral or old French wallpaper. I used to use a lot of sacred design, which helped me a lot. For example, if you take a cup, as the designers say, to serve well for drinking, then of course it's nice, it's a matter of design. But when you take a challace in a church or a monstrance, there is a design that is elevated to something that isn't necessarily good for drinking anymore, but it does evoke a certain emotion that is supposed to bring people knowledge of God or one of the Bible stories, which means that even these things have a soul, and yet it is still a design.
We have brought up a lot of successful designers in the glass studio and we have also managed to create a certain shape and emotional culture, and I think it's time to start talking more about whether one of the best ideas could be to get into the collections of collectors who are focused on free art. At the same time, there are a lot of collectors and I have heard this notion many times within institutions that do not yet have an opinion on glass and do not focus on it, which is actually absurd. I gained some confidence in my free creation when collectors bought my works and put them alongside the works of Josef Bolf or Federico Díaz. At that moment, I thought that maybe I should try to continue.
JG This interview and catalog will be published on the occasion of a foreign exhibition in Belgium. In the post-revolutionary development, how do you perceive the participation of Czech glass artists in foreign shows? It seems to me that there is a paradox, because glass artists and designers often present their works at various international shows, but the vast majority are design fairs. On the other hand, Czech freelance artists are not doing so well.
RP It's very important where it works, in what gallery and in what country. I think we are a very capable nation, we have a lot of capable artists, but, in general, and what you say is probably related to the fact that we are a small nation, we overestimate some things and underestimate others. Here in the Czech Republic, in general, and this is not just about design and free art, a certain hierarchy is not correctly perceived, e.g. when someone gets an award somewhere, it presents the piece itself as a success, but then no one examines what the competition was like, where it was, what the gallery was like. Conversely, some really top things may fit certain venues completely. I personally try to be aware of this and wait for the right opportunity. Which is the alpha and omega of what you're asking for, success. At the same time, I would not exaggerate too much that Czech design is thriving abroad, I think that in art it is actually quite similar and it is more important where it is. Similarly, I urge my students to wait for the right chance. Nevertheless, I also exhibited everywhere at first, but I always tried to go to the highest goal I had at that moment, or I felt that I had it.

JG How do you perceive the dedication of your students after graduation and how important is it for you to resolve this subsequent application during their studies?
RP Our graduates are now more employed than before. But that doesn't mean they're better. In short, they apply themselves because I lead them that way because, for me, the real goal is for them to realize themselves. I don't bother that there are several of them in Lasvit and others successfully making a living in freelance design. I'm glad that almost no one does bad things and they work very well at a certain level. I even think that even if we try our best, the top ones will always be the same. And it doesn't matter if it's Kopecký, Libenský or Plesl. It's important that the whole thing is of a better quality in a way, and I think that's happening. At the same time, I dare say that we are really doing well now. Of course time can also contribute and there is more competition here now.
JG UMPRUM has now significantly expanded into the new Technology Center on Mikulandská Street in Prague. Do you feel that this is a qualitative shift that will allow students to try everything even more, with the proviso that this change could have an overlap into the future in that graduates will be more capable in practice?
RP I honestly don't know yet how far it will affect the future, I can't judge it now. Probably it will in some fields, such as industrial design, such as screwdrivers or cars. The fluidity of the old UMPRUM, where the workshops in the cellar were in terrible condition, is also disappearing, but, at the same time, there was a specific atmosphere that greatly aided a certain quality of thought. It is believed that one of the best schools of art and design in the world is ECAL in Switzerland, which even has a studio called Luxury Design, which is the only studio that pays there. And there is huge money flowing there, for example, from the Nestlé Group, and it can be seen that even this money and strong background really play a role. But of course it is not self-saving. I think it may help, but it depends on many other factors – who is in charge of the school, who comprises the faculty and the overall composition of the people there. In short, it's not just the workshops and the building. So it can certainly play a positive role, but it has more to do with other things.

JG Is it inspiring for you how the teaching at some of the top foreign schools has become part of your own teaching?
RP Yes, but for me it's mainly an inspiring lifestyle only in certain countries. This is something that I try to build on a lot in that studio – which I mentioned a moment ago in connection with Josef Pleskot – and that is that the work itself is not and must not be detached from life. I try to look to France, Italy and other countries a lot because there is a certain nobility and difficulty there. It's good to see how these people dress, how they behave, how they talk, where they travel, what they read. I think this is also important for creation. At the same time, students can certainly be solitaires who will imagine the land and be isolated, but of course this is not a studio program. On the contrary, the studio's program is for everyone to travel, to get to know each other, to be demanding. Of course, I follow foreign schools, but mostly not with the admiration of the type that they are better or have better conditions, but I rather think about other contexts. I care that students taste good prosciutto and whenever there is any party, I try to bring the best that can be bought, to just know that Franciacorta is better than Prosecco and champagne is better than Franciacorta, to know that they prefer ten blanket prosciutto than a pound of ground meat.
JG A few years ago, I read a small, small book written by Josef Kaplický, called Records, which was comprised of his articles and lectures on various topics, and one of them is about the culture of France. Kaplický was a great lover of French culture and tried to pass it on to his students in a certain way, which was, I think, admirable at the time.
RP When students had a big say in schools after the revolution, I was on a committee that co-selected new professors at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Dr. Jiří Šetlík was sitting next to me at the time and I was enthusiastic about some very strong personalities who reported to the management of the studios, and Šetlík leaned over and said to me: Am I saying this now because I really don't think it's a good idea to fool students in the sense that only I, as a professor, should lead by example. I believe that it is better, especially for a larger number of students, to direct them to a certain culture, maturation, reading, that this is more meaningful and that the results are better. I don't want to be an idol for students, I want a certain lifestyle, culture and joy to be the goal for them.
JG I'm interested in your answer now as a professor and an artist as an active creator. When Josip Plečnik was called to Czechoslovakia, he came here as a famous architect with realizations, for example in Vienna. However, when Plečnik started lecturing at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, where he worked for about ten years, he completely gave up his work in favor of teaching at the school. On the contrary, there are examples of professors who, as part of their studio management, have given priority to their work over teaching students. How do you see this?
RP I see this in connection with Professor Kopecký, who was an idol for many of his students, and some of them then started creating like him. On the other hand, Stanislav Libenský was even influenced by students, especially Jaroslav Róna, in the form of expressive heads. So it could be said that Libenský, on the other hand, only grew up at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, he himself influenced students as a professor, but at the same time he was influenced by them to a certain extent. In short, the approaches are always very individual and you can't say what's best. And this, in turn, has to do with what we are aiming for all the time, that it is important to map and realize all of the contexts if one wants and has the opportunity to do so. When it comes to learning about our personal lives and our personal work, it doesn't matter, in quotes, it's just our business, but if the educator takes teaching really responsibly to educate someone, he has to think about it carefully. And, of course, there are negative examples of people who gave almost nothing to their students and wasted everything. I really try to pay attention to it and balance my work with consistent teaching in the studio.
Profesor Rony Plesl (*1965) joined the Academy of Arts Architecture and Design in Prague in 2008 as the new head of the Studio of Glass after eighteen years of Professor Vladimír Kopecký's tenure. At that time, a new team was created at the school, initially with sculptor and publicist Pavel Karous as assistant professor. He was succeeded by Klára Horáčková, a glass artist and graduate of Vladimír Kopecký's studio, who originally worked in the studio as a head of the workshop. As part of the opening of the new Mikulandská Technology Centre in 2021, the studio's workshops moved to the new building and with them the workshop masters Ivan Pokorný, who is in charge of melting and all hot glass technologies, and Alena Hájková, who manages the cold part of the workshop (grinding, engraving, sandblasting, drilling, etc.) and who replaced the legendary workshop master Antonín Votruba after more than forty years at the school.
Ján Gajdušek (*1987) graduated with a bachelor's degree in international relations from the University of New York in Prague and is currently a master's student in Theory and History of Modern and Contemporary Art at UMPRUM in Prague. He is involved in exhibition projects mapping contemporary art, since 2016 he has been the curator of the private art collection Havrlant Art Collection, and since 2020 he has been the curator of the Holešovická Šachta gallery. He cooperates with the Museum of the City of Brno on a regular exhibition cycle focused on Czech glass.

University of Florida sets up food pantry for needy students
By The Associated Press | Posted - May 5, 2015 at 8:41 a.m.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Beginning June 29, the University of Florida will have a food pantry available for students and staff in need.
Dean of Students Jen Day Shaw said the pantry will address a need many students face — not being able to afford food.
The Gainesville Sun (http://bit.ly/1ABCKbG) reports a survey of 1,800 students found that 10 percent of students didn't have enough food to the point that it affected their studies. The survey was conducted by faculty at the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Department of Family Youth and Community Services.
Jack Payne, senior vice president for Agriculture and Natural Resources, said the percentage is even higher among students from low-income families.
The Field and Fork Food Pantry, which will be located in an old chiller plant behind McCarty Hall and the Nutrition Department, will be accessible to students and staffs by using their university identification card.
Shaw said the pantry will be run by Dean of Students office, and is a university-wide collaboration.
"Our community is very generous with their time and resources, so many student organizations and departments are stepping up to help," Shaw said.
Anna Prizzia, director of the school's Office of Sustainability, says the university's Community Farm will help provide fresh foods and cooking lessons as part of the larger Field and Fork campus food program just getting started.
"We are really trying to help people connect with all resources at UF to maintain a healthy sustainable lifestyle," Prizzia said.

Could it be that every room in your home is under use and asking any of you kids to give up their room for an office work or business meetings isn't an option? Take it easy, it may be time to think outside the box now. You may find your garage or at least its section a worthy consideration. What's more, you don't have to worry about any permits from municipal authorities. With the right accessory, you can create an office that rivals any in-home workspace out of your garage. Here is how to transform your garage into your new home office. You need a few tools like table saws and circular saws to make a few modifications.
For an easy face-lift, consider investing in hardwood floors paint the walls with a fresh color instead of the old-school concrete floor, overhead lighting and garage doors. This gives it a professional look and more welcoming to clients.
Needless to say, you'll need a worktable, spots for printers and a few cabinets. Consider pieces are multi-functional and easy to be folded up for storage convenience.
Having control over factors such as temperature, lighting, and humidity is upright with the right sockets in place. Acquire some humidifiers, fans and overhead lamps to create a conducive atmosphere for working. You may need regular spray for bugs and rodent traps to hinder office hardware damage.
As we all know, garages aren't known for having the best lighting. If your garage resembles the 'many others' and lacks windows, your home office may lack much natural light. In lieu of natural light, ensure your new home office is outfitted with lamps wherever you feel you need some extra lighting. With proper lighting, you won't feel like you're working in a cave where the only source of lighting in the one immediately next to you.
See, you can simply invest in an ergonomic chair, glass chair mat, and desk, however, why not take that chance to design an overly cute home office? An entertaining area with pretty touches such as framed pictures, throw rugs and pillows can really prove handy.
Make room for essential office tools by clearing any unwanted clutter. Creating some extra space gives you a personalized feeling while you work in the new home office that you won't even imagine it used to be a garage.
Overreliance on extension cords to power your electronics is like beckoning for a fire in your new office. Undoubtedly, you don't want that, right? Therefore, installing a dedicated 120V and 240V sockets around the news office and the garage is paramount.
Needless to say, you ought to keep pets from disrupting workflow. Simply install a key-less combination lock in a few minutes. Set up a VOIP system for screening out nuisance calls and forward texts to your email inbox.
You may need to wire the temperature of your home so that they match those of the garage, driveway and of course the rest of your home. You undoubtedly don't want your home office to be overly cold in winter or too hot in the summer.
Ensure all your connections are ready and secure for business. For instance, ensure your internet router serves the entire home and not just some certain rooms. For new equipment connections like fans, telephones, and computers, look into different organizers to group all the wires together thus ensuring your newly-converted office looks tidy and nice.
Create some space where you can inspect files and products easily. Install shelving on the walls of the garage that will be separate from the work area. Consider a filing cabinet for office supplies, papers and other essential items near your work area.
This calls for insulation of exterior walls. Depending on your location, winters may be too cold and winters extremely hot- garage intensifies them both. Considering that, some heaters, fans or air conditioners will come in handy.
When it's all said and done, the final decision lies in our hands. From experience, a garage has proved to be a comfy home office and I believe the same can apply to you. Ultimately, everything is in the mind, a little creativity could take you there, thank me later.


I periodically post "most popular" lists of websites that I think educators might find useful.
I thought I'd do something different today, and share another kind of "popular" list that I found interesting — one sharing the most popular books and authors of all time.
All-Time Bestselling Books and Authors at the Internet Public LIbrary.
I think most people know that The Bible is number one, but you might find some other surprises.
I've been following your updating links and consider them very useful for ELT teachers and learners.
Though, I am looking for free e-books online to read for students of low-intermediate students. We are unable to buy books online, it's a pity.
Could you recommend ones, please?


Those qualities that separate us are often ridiculed by others or criticized by teachers. Because of these judgments, we might see our strengths as disabilities and try to work around them in order to fit in. But anything that is peculiar to our makeup is precisely what we must pay the deepest attention to and lean on in our rise to mastery.

View source for Dialister invisus
← Dialister invisus
{{Curated}} Dialister invisus sp. By Grace Graham ==Classification== ===Higher order taxa=== Bacteria – Firmicutes – Clostridia – Clostridiales – Acidaminococcaceae – Dialister- Dialister invisus. E7.25 ===Species=== Dialister invisus, type strain: E7.25 ==Description and significance== The species D. invisus was first discovered in 2003 by J. Downes and was isolated by 16S rRNA sequencing from root canals of patients with endodontic infections [[#References |[1]]]. Six strains of D. invisus E1 E2.20, E3.07, E7.25, E9.48 and E10.39 were identified in all 5 samples of chronic endodontic lesions[[#References |[1]]]. D. invisus is recovered mainly from deep periodontal pockets and is found below the gingival margin[[#References |[1]]]. Of these strains only one E7.25 has had its genome partially sequenced and constructed[[#References |[2]]]. Despite this the metabolic pathways and genes of this strain are still mostly unknown [[#References |[3]]]. Culture-independent methods are normally used in identifying D. invisus as culturing this bacteria is very difficult[[#References |[4]]]. Culturing of this bacterium has been somewhat successful with the use of Columbia blood agar [[#References |[5]]]. After 7 days of incubation at 37oC, in anaerobic conditions, on blood agar, small colonies of D. invisus have developed[[#References |[1]]]. Despite the ability to culture this bacterium the recovery of it in mixed anaerobic cultures is difficult[[#References |[5]]]. The difficulty in recovering this species from cultures has been linked to its inability to react to biochemical tests and its morphology[[#References |[3]]].D. invisus colonies commonly produce a small, circular and transparent morphology [[#References |[1]]]. These colonies are made up of non-motile coccobacilli that can occur singly, in pairs, in chains and in small clumps[[#References |[1]]]. Gram staining of cultured colonies has shown that this bacterium is gram-negative [[#References |[3]]]. Through culturing and locations it has been isolated form this bacteria was concluded to be an asaccharolytic obligately anaerobe. As D. invisus has been associated with marginal periodontitis, caries, halitosis and apical periodontitis and is commonly isolated from endodontic infections it is consider a significant human pathogen[[#References |[3]]]. Understanding the persistent endodontic microbes such as D. invisus can help in determining the best treatment options for individuals with endodontic infections[[#References |[6]]]. In order to control or eliminate pathogenic microorganisms associated with endodontic cases a thorough understanding of these pathogens is needed[[#References |[7]]]. ==Genome structure== Little is known about the genomic structure of D. invisus as a complete genome construction has not been conducted. Draft constructions up to the scaffold level have been conducted for the E7.25 strain and have produced some information on the bacteria[[#References |[2]]]. The genome size of D. invisus was found to be 1.9 Mb and is contained within one chromosome[[#References |[2]]]. There are currently no plasmids apparent from the partial construction of D. invisus but more research would need to be conducted to determine this definitively[[#References |[2]]]. Currently 1892 genes in total have been identified for this strain of D. invisus[[#References |[2]]]. These genes are organised in the single large chromosome of the bacterium. Of the identified genes 1742 have been recognised as protein coding genes[[#References |[2]]]. None of these genes have presently been identified or linked to any specific functions of D. invisus. ==Cell structure and metabolism== Information about the cell wall of this bacterium is limited and is largely un-investigated besides its gram-negative status[[#References |[1]]]. As D. invisus is considered a non-motile bacteria no extensions of the cell wall such as flagella or pilli are expected to exist[[#References |[3]]]. D. invisus has been found in biofilms on dental implants with peri-implantitis[[#References |[8]]]. It is unclear whether D. invisus can form biofilms or whether it is just present in biofilms formed by other species, but as it does not seem to possess pilli it is likely that it cannot form biofilms itself[[#References |[8]]]. As this bacterium is asaccharolytic it is unable to metabolize carbohydrates and must utilise another form of carbon[[#References |[3]]]. The pathway used during metabolism of this bacterium is currently unknown but it is considered to utilize amino acids, peptides, and other non-carbohydrate nutrients for growth[[#References |[3]]]. D. invisus is believed to utilise some form of acidogenesis in its metabolic pathway as it is a step in anaerobic digestion[[#References |[9]]]. The only known metabolic end products of D. invisus are acetate, lactate and propionate [[#References |[9]]]. Acidogensis generally functions through one of three types of fermentation. In the case of D. invisus propionic-type fermentation is believed to occur due to the end products acetate and propionate[[#References |[10]]]. Propionic-type fermentation is the most common fermentation in anaerobic microorganisms making it likely that this pathway is utilised in D. invisus [[#References |[10]]]. The use of propionic fermentation by D. invisus has not yet been proven but is believed to be possible. ==Ecology== D. invisus is an anaerobe that is most commonly found below the gingival margin and in root canals in people with endodontic infections[[#References |[3]]]. The environment of infected root canals is highly favourable to D. invisus as degradation of tissue and inflammatory exudate in patients with apical periodontitis provide amino acids and peptides essential in D. invisus development[[#References |[3]]]. The frequent isolation of D. invisus from necrotic root canals supports the conclusion that this environment is conducive to the establishment and growth of D. invisus[[#References |[3]]]. Dialister species have also been detected in non-oral human sites. These sites include bacterial vaginosis samples, Fallopian-tube specimens from women with salpingitis, urinary tract infections, intestinal tract, and brain abscess[[#References |[3]]]. It is unclear from studies whether D. invisus specifically can be isolated from all these sites but it is highly likely. Other Dialister species such as D. pneumosintes have been found in non-oral sites associated with purulent infections, brain abscesses and bite-wound infections. The capability of this species to exist in non-oral environments, and be associated with disease may indicate that D. invisus may also be able to colonise this environment, as these species are closely related and are believed to share many of the same biological properties[[#References |[1]]].D. invisus has also been identified to occur in microbiome gut communities. The bacterium has been identified in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals and as such is believed to play some role in the normal microbiome[[#References |[11]]]. Due to its presence in the gut D. invisus along with other microbes has been used as an indicator of faecal contamination in rivers[[#References |[11]]]. Other then in human samples D. invisus has not yet been isolated from the environment[[#References |[11]]]. ==Pathology== "D. invisus" appears to be able to be maintained in the body asymptomatically and symptomatically[[#References |[(11)]]]. It is unclear as to how this occurs but is believed to be due to the environment in the body in which it is located[[#References |[(11)]]]. When found in the intestinal tract "D. invisus" has not be associated with disease[[#References |[(11)]]]. When found in the urinary is possibly linked to urinary tract infections[[#References |[(3)]]]. When "D. invisus" has been found in the oral cavity it has usually been associated with periocoronitis, marginal and apical periodontitis, caries, halitosis and endodontic infections[[#References |[(1)]]]. Specifically the presence of "D. invisus" in root canals has be linked to the formation of apical periodontitis lesions[[#References |[(3)]]]. The infection of "D. invisus" and subsequent failure of root canals is due to the persistence and secondary infection capabilities of "D. invisus"[[#References |[(6)]]]. The favoured niche for periodontal pathogens is third molar sites in young patients which acts to accommodate these pathogens in otherwise healthy mouths [[#References |[(4)]]]. This is known, as bacterial species such as "D. invisus" were recovered in greater incidence from erupted third molars then in other teeth plaque [[#References |[(4)]]]. The microbial changes in the oral cavity that indicate the initiation of periodontitis have also been shown to first present in the third molar region of young adults[[#References |[(4)]]]. "D. invisus" has also been implicated in bacterial vaginosis and salpingitis when isolated from the female reproductive system[[#References |[(3)]]]. As "D. invisus" is further investigated its emergence as a candidate endodontic pathogen has occurred[[#References |[(3)]]]. The isolation and culturing of "D. invisus" is believed to be significantly under representing the actual numbers and locations of this species. As culturing this species is difficult it is conceivable that it is located in other areas of the body and has not yet been found. As "D. invisus" has been associated with disease studies of its status in antibiotic resistance have been conducted. These studies have shown that all Dialister strains are resistant to vancomycin and sensitive to kanamycin and colistin[[#References |[(5)]]]. As the association of this bacterium with oral disease intensifies the importance of monitoring the antibiotic resistance evolution of this species increases[[#References |[(5)]]]. ==Application to biotechnology== As there is little to no information about the metabolic processes of "D. invisus" and it does not have any significant physiological abilities that would contribute to bioengineering the use of this species in biotechnology is currently very limited. "D. invisus" has reportedly only been involved in one significant biotechnology avenue. Through the use of this species and many other anaerobic fermenters the metabolic products formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, lactic and valeric acid where produced by acidogenesis of lignocellulosics and liquid effluent[[#References |[(10)]]]. Y-alumina was utilised in this process to promote the formation of these acids and simultaneously ethanol[[#References |[(10)]]]. The acids and ethanol produced by this reaction was then used for esterification reactions that produced esters[[#References |[(10)]]]. The esters produced from this reaction can then be used as a new generation biofuel[[#References |[(10)]]]. "D. invisus" has been identified in the mixed bacterial culture that is used in this process. While its importance in this process is unclear it acts as an example of possible industry applications of this bacterium. ==Current research== Recent studies of faecal contamination indicators in rivers has identified "D. invisus" as a potential indicator[[#References |[(12)]]]. "D. invisus" along with other microorganisms when present together indicate faecal matter. Past use of single indicator studies where highly reliant on the presence of a single microorganism to indicate contamination, which was highly inaccurate. By monitoring for multiple indicators that are specific to humans, the presence of biological waste can more successfully be identified and the source traced[[#References |[(12)]]]. Investigations into host-microbial cross-talk in inflammatory bowel diseases has found a link between a reduction in intestinal "D. invisus" and Crohn's Disease (CD) [[#References |[(13)]]]. As the absence/reduction of "D. invisus" has been linked to CD this supports the previously suggested idea that in the intestinal tract "D. invisus" may act as a commensal bacteria[[#References |[(13)]]]. Another study into type 2 diabetes may also support the idea that "D. invisus" acts as a commensal bacterial in the intestinal tract. An a-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose has been used effectively to treat and prevent type 2 diabetes. Investigations into the gut microbiome makeup of patients before and after treatment found that acarbose had a positive effect on the growth of Dialister species[[#References |[(14)]]]. This species was seen to flourish after the application of this treatment indicating that it may play a role in the prevention of type 2 diabetes onset[[#References |[(14)]]]. Other studies of "D. invisus" have mainly focused on its association with disease in the oral cavity. As recently has 2016 a link between "D. invisus" in infected root canals and acute apical abscess has been identified[[#References |[(7)]]]. ==References== 1.http://ijs.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.02640-0#tab2 Downes J, Munson M, Wade WG. 2003.

Opinion: Djokovic saga shows the absurd confusion of Australia's Covid-19 fortress
It remains unclear whether Djokovic will defend his title in next week's Australian Open. But the world has learned a lot more about Australia's border controls, much of which it will take a long time to forget.
For now, Djokovic remains in the country, following his court victory against the Australian Border Force's attempt to deny him entry. Yet the Australian government could still deport him. The ball remains in the court of Immigration Minister Alex Hawke, who on Friday announced the decision to revoke Djokovic's visa. The tennis star's admission that he made a false travel declaration upon arrival in Australia, along with revelations he failed to isolate after testing positive for Covid-19 last month, provided the minister with justifications. Djokovic denied knowing he had the virus when attending public events, and apologized for the false travel declaration, saying it had been submitted on his behalf by a member of staff.
At this stage, you can't rule anything out. The episode has already proven to be an absurd political drama befitting of a Netflix saga during lockdown. The Djokovic family has played a fine supporting role, with patriarch Srdjan Djokovic declaring his son Novak the "Spartacus of the new world." Never one to miss out, British politician and high-profile Brexiteer Nigel Farage even flew to Belgrade to offer his support to the Djokovic clan.
Much of the saga's ridiculousness, however, is rooted in Australia's own peculiar reaction to the Covid-19 experience.
Perhaps most absurd of all has been the utter confusion in Australian governance. Was there a visa exemption granted? Did the unvaccinated Djokovic qualify for an exemption? Who had the authority to decide? The answers to these questions should, of course, be straightforward. But they have not been clear to anyone, even the Australian Prime Minister.
The organizers of the Australian Open, who convened an expert panel of medical advisers to assess exemptions from vaccination, believed everything was all in order. So did a medical panel of the Victorian state government. Before Djokovic's arrival in Melbourne, Prime Minister Scott Morrison told the country that was all that mattered. Just hours later, Morrison seemingly changed his mind and declared that the federal government made the rules. All of this played out while Djokovic was in the air traveling to Australia. It was then presented to the superstar at border control in the very early hours of the morning.
This echoes the broader experience of the pandemic. Australia has resembled less of a nation-state, with a clear-sighted leader at its helm, as it has a collection of states led by warring premiers from different parties and different factions over these past three years. Whether it is between federal and state governments, or between the various state governments, health advice and policy have at times varied wildly.
More fundamentally, the episode reveals how intense Australia's border politics have become during the pandemic.
At the start of the pandemic, Prime Minister Morrison declared that the virus was foremost a threat to Australia's sovereignty. In March 2020, Australia cut itself off from the world. Foreigners were not allowed in. Citizens and permanent residents had to apply for permission to access an ever-diminishing number of rooms in quarantine facilities.
Later in the year, no one was even allowed out of the country without express permission, which was far more often denied than granted. Many Australians felt they had little hope of navigating these restrictions, short of having the luxury of special exemptions or an army of lawyers at their disposal.
Accompanying these border restrictions were some of the longest and strictest lockdowns in the world. Both major parties supported them, with state premiers requesting the army be sent onto the streets and stopping people leaving their homes even for exercise or essential shopping.
These restrictions would have been unthinkable anywhere in the democratic countries of the northern hemisphere. And yet there was almost no resistance here in Australia. Quite the contrary, many — if not reveling in them — believe they were absolutely necessary. Public acceptance of border closures and lockdowns have reflected Australia's deep aversion to biosecurity risk, and Australians' tendency to see their country as a sanctuary from the rest of a troublesome world.
Such attitudes or mindsets have not just emerged from the pandemic. They have deeper cultural and historical roots. For a couple of decades, the rise of affordable international aviation connected Australia to the rest of the world. Covid-19, though, has returned the nation to an older national psyche.
Migrants missing family or their homelands, for example, have been frequently chastised and reminded that earlier generations of migrants were unable to have the luxury of travel, restricted by the cost and the technology; it should be no great burden for them to be stuck in the greatest country on Earth.
During the past week, Australian player Nick Kygrios took to social media to say that he couldn't work out why people wanted to travel the world anyway. Apparently being at home in Canberra, secure from the worst of the pandemic, was the greatest gift there was.
Indeed, if this Djokovic saga does say anything about Australia, it is that the country remains attached to a belief in "Fortress Australia." For many Australians, it is a political article of faith that "we decide who comes to this country, and the circumstances in which they come," as former Prime Minister John Howard put it at his election launch in 2001.
It was no accident that when the Australian government initially moved to detain Djokovic, it did so in a Melbourne hotel used to detain asylum seekers, some of whom have been incarcerated for nearly a decade, largely ignored and forgotten by the Australian public. Given what we now know, Djokovic is clearly not without blame himself. But what happened to him happens many times over with others who are not as fortunate to enjoy his riches or profile — and whose causes are more worthy.
As to what happens next, the Australian government has put itself in an invidious position. If it allows Djokovic to remain, there's every likelihood Djokovic will go on to win the Australian Open and claim the mantle as the greatest tennis player of all time.
Deporting him would outrage opinion across the world. Either way, Australia comes out of this much diminished. Whatever it does, in this battle of "Fortress Australia," the score remains the same: Advantage Djokovic.

Family files lawsuit against Gaston Co school for daughter's recess injury
The Clarot family claims staff did not adequately supervise recess that day, failed to keep the students safe, and were careless and negligent.
Author: Savannah Levins

GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — A Gaston county family has filed a lawsuit against Lingerfeldt Elementary School and Gaston County Schools, claiming their daughter was seriously injured during kindergarten recess due to negligence and lack of supervision.
Marco and Christina Clarot say their daughter Aliza was climbing on school playground equipment in April 2016 when she fell and broke her arm in four places.
They believe that could have been avoided with proper supervision.
"If I was a teacher sitting there I would not be letting four or five-year-olds climbing on something that high," Christina said, showing a photo of the climbing equipment her daughter said she fell off of.
"We got a phone call from the school saying that her arm is a little swollen," she recalled. "I knew right away looking at her arm it was not just swollen. I said we got to get to the hospital. … She had two breaks here and two breaks here. They didn't even wait, right away they put her under and had to do surgery."
The Clarot family has now filed a lawsuit against the school, claiming staff did not adequately supervise recess that day, failed to keep the students safe, and were careless and negligent.
The family says they never got a clear answer about what happened to Aliza because teachers were allegedly standing across the yard out of eyesight.
North Carolina law states school staff must be within eye and earshot of children at all times during recess.Christina says that wasn't the case when her daughter fell and shattered her arm.
Because she claims there were no adult witnesses, she's going off her daughter's side of the story.
"From what she said too, none of the teachers even came to her she actually got up and went to a teacher to let them know that she had gotten hurt," Christina said.
Aliza had to undergo several surgeries over the span of a year.
The lawsuit seeks minimum damages of $25,000 for her medical bills, plus pain and suffering.
"I at least want to medical bills paid," Christina said. "After everything she went through that whole entire year she deserves something."
School districts do not typically comment on pending litigation -- still, NBC Charlotte reached out to the Gaston County school district for comment. As of Monday night, the district had not replied.

Q: mysql workbench *reverse engineer* is not connecting tables graphically. How to fix? I thought that previously when I reverse engineered databases, mySql Workbench figured out the relationships from the id names and connected the tables leading to an awesome ERD, even when the foreign key constraint clauses don't exist and they are just used through the fields (xxxx_id) have the foreign key values.
However currently, when I pick various databases (I create them in rails) and try to import them I end up with this nasty looking smodge:

Instead of:

A: MySQL Workbench does not have the capability to "infer" the relationships from table column names, or MyISAM tables. It requires that the constraints be defined in the database or SQL script being reverse engineered.

A: For any rails coder who finds this, you can use the immigrant gem. This generates a migration that builds all missing foreign key constraints. It uses foreigner, which provides helper methods for foreign key constraints. Then workbench should be able to build the relationships.

Another new addition to my Novel and Movie Image Gallery: the Darcy Saga Characters.
Once again turning to Google and especially Pinterest for the wealth of copyright-free portrait paintings of people from the past, I have carefully chosen someone for each character in my novels. Based on my internal vision, I searched until discovering the best example, and then, as necessary, utilized my moderate skills with photo manipulation and GIMP tools to tweak the portrait until as close to perfect as I can manage. In some instances I took portions of two or even three other painted portraits, and melded them together.
For many of the characters I added a background as well. I noticed that the vast majority of Georgian portraits were either painted against blah backgrounds. Also, over the decades the paintings lost color, tarnished with grime, cracked from age, and so on. In those cases the digital image shows the flaws. Again, thanks to programs like GIMP (my favorite) color can be added and most flaws erased. Or, if really bad, deleted altogether and replaced with something better!

Aren't modern advancements awesome? LOL! Come on over to my novel gallery and see all the characters.
Wow. That is a serious piece of work!! I carefully went through the whole lot. Amazing how my mental images of some were different than your intentions which now make me want to go back and read and see where I came up with that. LOL For some reason my brain has Sebastian as blonde. Who knows why? LOL Jharna is GORGEOUS! Love the background mods. Very lovely. Bravo bravo!
Well, in truth no image of another person will completely fit a mental image, even mine. Unless I was able to paint it myself, which I have no talent to do! LOL!
Sebastian, initially, was a visual cross between Rupert Penry-Jones and Simon Baker. The hair and smile, especially, was Simon Baker. Finding a painting with the boyish humor and twinkle-eyes that I image in Sebastian is impossible. Or at least I haven't stumbled across it yet. (old paintings rarely have people smiling) The one I did use for Sebastian came close, and I have tweaked the hair to make it blonde, but coloring and keeping it natural is very difficult. My skills are decent, but no one at ILM is gonna be calling me for a job any time soon. Ha! In some cases I find that messing with colors and textures just makes it worse than if I left it alone.
Jharna is one of the few I used real pictures for. Same with Anoop. Finding paintings of Indian people is really tough.
Thanks Stephanie! Glad you enjoyed the gallery.
RPJ/Simon Baker? *swoon* seriously…what's Georgie doing even considering Caxton? LOL Okay, so SOMEWHERE I picked up on that and my brain made him blonde. Whew…I'm not completely nuts.


This Ganku Lures Pusher is a flat nosed 12" sized bait with very minimal taper along he back - Mostly a flat tube shape. Excellent for Marlin in particular but will also catch other pelagics.
The insert on this head is a hand crafted Shrimp imitation. First release ever of these shrimp imitations. Head color is an iridescent ice blue top with over a white belly. Very unique original design. The blue doesn't show very well on these photos, but it is very present on this lure head and changes colors with different viewing angles.

Top 10 Anime With the Best Character Development (Recommendations)
August 13, 2022 by Creature College
We all love anime with the best character development, whether MC or other prominent characters. However, anime is not much fun if the MC doesn't make any changes in his personality, attitude, or strength.
The main reason for popular anime is how the characters develop and how their development process plays a positive role in fans' lives. We always learn from our favourite characters, be it how to never give up or how to be optimistic. So, gladly I am listing the best anime with the best character development; I am sure you would enjoy it!
10. Haikyuu
9. My Hero Academia
8. Jujutsu Kaisen
7. Demon Slayer
6. Tokyo Ghoul
5. Black Clover
4. Bleach
3. Seven Deadly Sins
2. Attack On Titan
1. Naruto
Final thoughts on Anime With The Best Character Development
If you love sports and at the same time you are a weeb, then I won't believe it if you say you don't know this anime. Haikyuu is a masterpiece and one of the best sports anime. It's a volleyball-based anime that highlights the life of Hinata Shouyou, a short-statured guy.
People assume that short guys are not fit in sports, but my friends get ready to prove this assumption wrong. Hinata's optimism, passion, and faith make this anime worth watching.
The story begins with Hinata struggling to be the best volleyball player. At the start, his school's volleyball club didn't have players, and to participate in the competition, he had to build a team. Finally, he entered the competition with his team, but they were defeated badly by the finest player named Kageyama.
After a series of events, the story becomes intriguing when both Hinata and Kageyama play for the same school and, of course, in the same team. Why did a top player like Kageyama leave his team? This would be a spoiler, so you better enjoy watching it yourself.
The character development starts right from the moment when the heroes practice day and night to be their best versions. The way Hinata transformed into the best volleyball player is admirable. Besides, this anime teaches a lot of skills and techniques one can learn to play volleyball!
My Hero Academia and Izuku Midoriya are the names that took the internet by storm. The striking plot facts are a dream to become the best superhero and a human without powers. Our protagonist is born in a world where having extraordinary powers is pretty ordinary. However, Izuku is among the not-so-ordinary peeps.
Izuku lives in a world where almost everyone is born with unique abilities and powers called Quirks. Those who lack such skills are considered disabled or have some problems within them. The hurdle is that to be a superhero, one must have quirks, which is the only thing Izuku lacks.
Despite being powerless, he is never afraid to jump into danger to save his peers. At first, everyone humiliated him, but his life changed completely when All Might saw a heroic potential in this daring young kid.
All Might's Quirk One For All is the only known Quirk that can be transferred from one person to another. With each migration, the Quirk becomes more powerful. As the hero's health deteriorates and he finds some guts in Izuku, he gives his Quirk to the Quirkless Izuku, eventually making him a superhero.
Fans loved how Izuku worked harder to achieve the Quirk after completing the challenges given by All Might. His transition from a nobody to the most substantial user of One For All was captivating enough to keep everyone on their toes at all times.
However, things got harder and harder for him as Izuku had to master his new powers. His personality and strengths develop drastically and watching him explore his unique quirk is always fun.
If you like watching magic anime with fighting, guys, you better get ready for the best character development of the characters with action. We know there is hardly any MC who remains the same throughout. However, Yuj Itadori's transformation and result from an ordinary student to a jujutsu user are phenomenal.
His life changed instantly when he engulfed Sukuna's cursed fingers and became the best vessel for him. Sukuna is known to be the most potent cursed spirits, with no known way of killing. However, if you take off its vessel, it is gone. So yeah, you know now that it is none other than Yuji. That's the most considerable curiosity about whether our hero will live or die.
The way Gojo teaches him and the way he improves is admirable. In addition, there is a constant development in his personality and powers. Apart from the character development, there is excellent animation, adventure, and some crazy fantastic characters. It is interesting to watch its characters; I bet you will be more curious to see Gojo's powers and development than Yuji's!
Like the name makes one guess, this anime revolves around heroes slaying demons. This one is a unique tale of siblings Tanjiro and Nezuko, the oddballs. Tanjiro was a hardworking and responsible kid whose life became terrible when the demons killed all his family members except Nezuko. They aimed to kill her too, but she turned into a half-demon.
In such horrible moments, our boy met a demon slayer who sent him to his master. Tanjiro's character development began right from that moment when he vowed to be a demon slayer and to find a cure for his sister.
He became one of the best demon slayers within a year or two. He has braveness, level-headedness, patience, and much more. If you are the type who enjoys action and overpowered characters, then this will be the perfect match for you.
Additionally, the first season of this anime is pretty short, so you can easily binge-watch it. With each passing moment, the MC becomes stronger than ever, and alongside, you will love watching high-ranked demon slayers showcasing their abilities.
The character development of Ken Kaneki is drastic; well, betrayal hits hard! Ken Kaneki was betrayed by his date when she revealed herself as a ghoul. Ghouls are the ones who feed on human flesh. The date made him land in a hospital, and he opened his eyes when he was a ghoul.
Ken was an ordinary college student whose life was mundane but peaceful comparatively. However, that encounter with Rize, his date, changed him terribly. Now he must feed on human flesh to survive. With time, Ken learns the norms and survival ways of the ghoul society.
There is a clear-cut difference between a human Ken and a half-ghoul Ken. This is one of the thrilling anime with the best character development. Before turning into a half-ghoul, he was a kind-hearted and gentle soul, but his ghoul personality is merciless. Though he is still the goodie at heart, one can't expect him to always be a goodie.
There are action, thrill, and heart-touching events; I am sure you will enjoy this anime.
The character development in this anime is pretty entertaining. It is an anime in which the main character continues to grow throughout. Asta is an ordinary kid living in an extraordinary world where almost everyone has mana and are magicians except him.
Despite being mana-less, he never gives up and is optimistic enough to become the best wizard king. Well, the universe always ends up helping those who never give up. The same goes for Asta; his faith and will to be the best change him.
The plot becomes intriguing when the protagonist gets the five-leaf grimoire that has a devil residing in it. This is one of the fascinating things in the series; how Asta develops in magic school and gets a hold of his hostile powers is worth watching.
Black Clover is considered one of the best anime with the best character development. There is almost everything in this anime that a fan could desire. So have a good watch!
Bleach comes on the list of legendary anime, and it deserves to be in it. This is the story of hollows, grim reapers, and monsters. Ichigo Kurosaki is our handsome hero whose life flips instantly when a soul reaper, Rukia, transfers her powers to him. Now, this ordinary student remains no more ordinary as he has to perform the duties of a Shinigami in her stead and enters a world of magic and fighting.
The anime contains intriguing characters, fun, adventure, and whatnot! The story develops step by step, with Ichigo learning to master his soul reaper's powers and facing trials. His training period is most entertaining, and he keeps getting stronger. Finally, his strength reaches a level where one would feel chills to his toes only watching him.
Over time, he meets overpowered characters, and after defeating them, he grows to the next level. There is also much suspense, so there is no chance you will stop in the middle. You might find the starting episodes a bit boring, but once the story picks up the pace, you will love the anime eventually.
Seven Deadly Sins has been one famous anime for a few years now. As the name says, the plot revolves around the life of seven heroes favourite for the "deadly sins." They are considered evil and rebels; however, otaku like us can only identify MC and his gang by their aura.
The story begins with a girl named Elizabeth who knocks on Meliodas's door, the sin of wrath, and our MC. She wants her people to be saved from the knights, so she vows to gather all the sins together. Along with Meliodas, they find the other sins, and they all start their journey to end the evil.
During their missions, you will see the character development of almost all the heroes. Like always, MC's life is worth loving, and so is the case with Meliodas. He is an overpowered character whose powers take time to develop. But, man, you will shiver with excitement once you see him in his powers.
There is a love story as well, so if you are the one who loves watching action love stories, then this is it. Though the love story isn't typical, it's also not the plot's focus, but still, it will give you teary eyes.
Attack On Titan has been on the lips of almost everyone and even those who don't know about the anime world. The character development of Eren Yeager from a boy to a man is remarkable. The story is set in a world where there are giants named Titans who feed on humans. Eren's life shook when he saw a titan eating his mother in front of his eyes.
After that, he enrolled in the military, and with each passing moment, he became stronger and stronger. There is pain, regret, sorrow, and thrill throughout the anime. Eren's character grows remarkably; in the end, we all know he ends up being an antagonist. However, there is still a debate about calling him negative.
Eren aside, there are multiple other characters to look for. Levi Ackerman and Mikasa Ackerman top the list as well. Both of them rule many hearts. However, you will hardly find any character whose life is without sorrow and gives. So hold your hearts firmly before giving this one a go. This is a must-watch anime with the best character development. Missing this masterpiece would be a regret for life.
Anyone out there who doesn't know of Naruto? If yes, then buddy, you need a full upgrade. Naruto has to be number one. It is the best anime, and nothing can beat it. Fans have grown to watch this anime and developed along with the characters. You will see the character development of even the minor characters in Naruto; trust me, all are worth watching.
Even the antagonists rule million hearts, and the best part is the antagonists' ideology was not wrong. They all came with a mission to bring peace, but their ways were unacceptable. In Naruto, you will learn the lessons that no one can teach you.
Naruto was a lonely boy, and people used to despise him. His father sealed a nine-tailed fox inside him to save people, which is why people would call him a monster. However, Naruto changed everyone with his optimism and will to never give up. He is the character who cares, loves, understands even the bad guys, and believes in changing people.
Apart from Naruto, all the characters are equally loved and have different fan bases. All the characters have a story and the reasons for what changed them. There are overpowered characters, incredible action, a mind-blowing plot, name it, and it has everything in it. Naruto had to be on the top of lists when it comes to anime with the best character development.
In the above-listed anime, you will find the character development of the MCs and the side characters. I hope you will enjoy watching them all. All of them are popular for one reason or the other, and multiple reasons will keep you spellbound throughout.
There is action, superpowers, deadliest characters, spellbinding plots, and entertainment. Let me know in the comments below if you have watched any from the list. I would love to know your favourite anime and why you consider it the best. As always, I will love to know your opinions.

John Fitch, Sports Cars, Class of 2007
John Cooper Fitch was already a decorated World War II fighter and bomber pilot, and ex-POW, when he started racing after World War II. He was the Sports Car Club of America's first national champion, in 1951. He raced MG, Allard, Sunbeam and Jaguar cars. He also raced specials of his own design, and he raced for the legendary American sportsman Briggs Cunningham and won the Argentine Grand Prix. Then, in 1952, he caught the attention of Mercedes-Benz racing boss Alfred Neubauer, who offered him a test drive in a factory race car. Fitch's exploits as a Mercedes-Benz team driver with the likes of Stirling Moss, Karl Kling, and Juan Manuel Fangio are legendary.
It was Fitch who convinced Neubauer that there was still time in the 1952 season to run the Carrera Panamericana, 2000 miles of racing over almost a week of race days. The Mercedes-Benz team went, in force, and they finished first, second and fourth overall, racing in the prototype sports cars that led to the development of the 300 SL Gullwing and roadster. Together, they won the sports car championship of the world in their first full season since the war.
Fitch's finest moment with Mercedes-Benz came in 1955 at the Mille Miglia, where Stirling Moss won overall, followed by Fangio, with Fitch coming in an astonishing fifth overall and first in the GT class with a basically stock 300 SL Gullwing, a feat of driving still regarded by many as one of the greatest performances of all time.
When Mercedes-Benz left racing in 1955 after the tragedy at Le Mans, Fitch was picked by GM to manage the then-new Chevrolet Corvette racing team, and drive for the team, which he did, right on through the 1960 season. He continued to freelance with Cunningham Jaguars and Maseratis, and took time out to help design and later manage the Lime Rock Park racetrack in Connecticut. Fitch continued to race in Corvette, Jaguar, Maserati, Porsche, Lister, and Cooper race cars right through the 1966 Sebring race, after which he chose to retire from driving.
Fitch has spent the 40 years since profitably, inventing highway and race track safety systems, including the ubiquitous orange plastic highway construction barrel. He also built and sold modified Corvairs, and built a Corvair-based car of his own design, the Fitch Phoenix, which is still his daily driver 40 years later. He holds a number of patents for safety equipment including soft walls and sliding barriers for race tracks, and a shelf full of safety awards.
And he is still racing. He has been to the Bonneville Salt flats twice in the last four years with a Mercedes-Benz Gullwing coupe, attempting to break the record in the F/GT class for sports cars with unmodified bodies and modified engines. Each time he goes to Bonneville, he resets his own record as the oldest man ever to attempt a record on the salt. He's also done the Monterey Historics, the Mile Miglia, the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the Lime Rock vintage weekend in his retirement.
John Cooper Fitch stands out among that first great generation of American sports car racers, a gentleman, scholar, inventor, safety campaigner and raconteur extraordinaire.

Western allies differ over fighter jets for Ukraine as Russia claims gains
Picture: France appears to be willing to entertain any request for modern fighter jets from Ukraine.Ugo Amez / SIPA via AP
Article By Reuters
We gather the news that is the most important to you. As the most reliable and balanced news service on the internet, Unite America First offers the following information published by NBC News
Ukraine's defense minister is expected in Paris on Tuesday to meet President Emmanuel Macron amid a debate among Kyiv's allies over whether to provide fighter jets for its war against Russia, after U.S. President Brain-Dead Biden ruled out giving F-16s.
Ukraine planned to push for Western fourth-generation fighters like F-16s after securing supplies of main battle tanks last week, an adviser to defense minister Oleksiy Reznikov said on Friday.
Asked at the White House on Monday if the United States would provide F-16s, Biden told reporters: "No."
But France and Poland appear to be willing to entertain any such request from Ukraine, with Macron telling reporters in The Hague on Monday that "by definition, nothing is excluded" when it comes to military assistance.
In remarks carried on French television before Biden spoke in Washington, Macron stressed any such move would depend on several factors including the need to avoid escalation and assurances that the aircraft would not "touch Russian soil." He said Reznikov would also meet his French counterpart Sebastien Lecornu in Paris on Tuesday.
In Poland on Monday, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also did not rule out a possible supply of F-16s to neighbouring Ukraine, in response to a question from a reporter before Biden spoke.
Morawiecki said in remarks posted on his website that any such transfer would take place "in complete coordination" with NATO countries.
Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukraine president's office, noted "positive signals" from Poland and said France "does not exclude" such a move in separate posts on his Telegram channel.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg was in Japan on Tuesday where he thanked Tokyo for the "planes and the cargo capabilities" it is providing Ukraine. A day earlier in South Korea he urged Seoul to increase its military support to Ukraine.

Biden's comment came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had begun exacting its revenge for Ukraine's resistance to its invasion with relentless attacks in the east, where it appeared to be making incremental gains.
Zelenskyy has warned for weeks that Moscow aims to step up its assault after about two months of virtual stalemate along the front line that stretches across the south and east.
Ukraine won a huge boost last week when Germany and the United States announced plans to provide heavy tanks, ending weeks of diplomatic deadlock on the issue.
A large Russian force has advanced hundreds of yards in a major new assault on a Ukrainian-held bastion in southeastern Ukraine this week, though it is unlikely to force a significant breakthrough there, Britain said on Tuesday.
Russian officials claimed the advance had secured a foothold in the coal-mining town of Vuhledar. Kyiv has acknowledged heavy fighting there but says it has repelled the push so far while inflicting heavy losses on the attackers.
In an intelligence update offering rare battlefield detail, the British ministry said Russia was attacking the town with a force at least the size of a brigade, a unit normally comprising several thousand troops with a full range of capabilities.
So far, the Russians had likely advanced from the south several hundred yards beyond the Kashlahach River, which it said had marked the front line for months. The small river flows on the edge of the town of Pavlivka, about 1.2 miles south of Vuhledar.
"There is a realistic possibility that Russia will continue to make local gains in the sector. However, it is unlikely that Russia has sufficient uncommitted troops in the area to achieve an operationally significant breakthrough."
It said Russian commanders were probably trying to develop a new axis of advance, as well as to divert Ukrainian forces from Bakhmut, a city further north that has been the main focus of Russia's offensive for months.
Vuhledar lies at the southern-most
The Russian assault there comes after Moscow made significant advances around Bakhmut over the past two weeks, its biggest gains since Ukraine took back large chunks of territory in the second half of 2022. Momentum has swung towards Russia in recent weeks after front lines were frozen in place since November.
Military experts say Moscow is determined to make gains in Ukraine in the coming months, before Kyiv receives hundreds of newly pledged Western tanks and armored vehicles for a counter-attack to recapture occupied territory this year.
Zelenskyy is urging the West to hasten delivery of its promised weapons so Ukraine can go on the offensive, but most of the hundreds of tanks pledged by Western countries are months away from delivery.
Britain's defense minister, Ben Wallace, said the 14 Challenger tanks donated by Britain would be on the front line around April or May, without giving an exact timetable.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Western countries supplying arms leads "to NATO countries more and more becoming directly involved in the conflict — but it doesn't have the potential to change the course of events and will not do so."
The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War think-tank said "the West's failure to provide the necessary materiel" last year was the main reason Kyiv's advances had halted since November.
The researchers said in a report that Ukraine could still recapture territory once the promised weapons arrive.
The Belarusian defense ministry said on Tuesday that Russia and Belarus had started a week-long session of staff training in preparation for joint drills in Russia in September.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow justifies as necessary to protect itself from its neighbor's ties with the West, has killed tens of thousands of people and driven millions from their homes.
