He ate the Hito Hito no Mi (ヒトヒトの実, Human Human Fruit), giving him the ability to speak, think, and transform into a human. Emlyn Morinelli voices Chopper in Singapore's Odex dub.Īppearances In One Piece Ĭhopper grew up on the winter island Drum, where he was an outcast among reindeer due to his blue nose. Lisa Ortiz voiced him in the 4Kids Entertainment English dub. Brina Palencia voices Chopper in the English Funimation dub. Kazue Ikura voiced Tony Tony Chopper for episodes 254–263. In the original Japanese anime of One Piece, Tony Tony Chopper's main voice actress is Ikue Ōtani. Voice actress Brina Palencia voices Tony Tony Chopper in the Funimation English dub of the series. Since Chopper is an animal who ate the Human-Human Fruit, he can converse with other animals and humans alike. Later with the help of their enemy and temporary prisoner Caesar Clown, Chopper was able to improve the formula and lengthen the effects of the Rumble Ball ten-fold to thirty minutes at a time, albeit with new side-effects of Chopper temporarily shrinking down to a infant-like form with antiqued speech. After the two-year timeskip Chopper is able to transform into six forms without a rumble ball and can use a rumble ball to control his Monster Point. This form, known as Monster Point, is extremely powerful, but also has the adverse effect of draining Chopper's life force. If Chopper consumes three Rumble Balls within six hours, he grows to monstrous proportions and loses all self control. Although the primary effects of the rumble ball only last three minutes, Chopper cannot consume a second ball for six hours without adverse effects, mainly the loss of control over his transformations during the three minutes of his second Rumble Ball. In addition to his normal transformations, Chopper developed a drug he calls the Rumble Ball ( ランブル・ボール, Ranburu Bōru), which allows him four additional transformations to use temporarily. The power of the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit ( ヒトヒトの実, Hito Hito no Mi ) provides Tony Tony Chopper with the ability to transform into three forms: a human, human-reindeer hybrid or his default reindeer form. After the time-skip he embraces his status because he wants to be a "monster for Luffy." Chopper loves to be complimented and is incapable of hiding his feelings. Chopper is very naïve, and has a tendency to believe anything told to him, even the outrageously fictitious, exaggerated lies of Usopp. Ĭhopper is initially ostracized as a monster. When asked by a fan what the nationalities of the members of the Straw Hat Pirates would be if One Piece was set in the real world, Oda replied that Chopper would be Canadian. With Chopper's back story, Oda wanted to illustrate that one need not be blood-related to be considered family. A running gag within the series is when other characters mistake him as a Tanuki, and he angrily corrects them, pointing out that he is a Tonakai (Japanese for "Reindeer").Ībout Personality and Characteristics When complimented, Chopper acts flustered and sometimes yells at the person who complimented him to stop trying to make him happy. After the Straw Hats arrive at Drum Island and take Chopper with them, Kureha uses Hiriluk's potion to turn the snowy sky into cherry blossoms, fulfilling Hiriluk's life mission. After Hiriluk's death, Doctor Kureha takes him in as his mentor. While developing a potion to create cherry blossoms when in contact with snow, Chopper is heartbroken when Hiriluk falls ill with a deadly disease. Rejected by his herd because of his blue nose and eating the Devil Fruit, Chopper is rescued by Drum Island's quack doctor Doctor Hiriluk. A drug he calls "Rumble Ball" ( ランブル・ボール, Ranburu Bōru) enables him to perform even more transformations for a short time. の実, Hito Hito no Mi ) provides him with the ability to transform into a full-sized reindeer or a reindeer-human hybrid.

Performing the pullover on a machine, the movement typically starts with the arms overhead. It is not uncommon to have sore triceps after performing pullovers, this is due to the triceps role in holding a fixed angle of the elbow (isometric contraction). Once the upper arm is perpendicular to the ground, the weight has been completely unloaded from the musculature being worked during a Pullover. Continue to move the weight until it is directly over your chest or nearly directly. Once the desired range of motion has been completed, pause and reverse motion into the concentric or positive phase. ![]() Continue to lower the weight until your upper arms are parallel to the ground or to the point that your mobility allows (excessive range of motion may lead to a shoulder injury). Press the weight straight up from your chest, set your elbows at the desired angle (slight bend) and initiate the eccentric or negative phase of the Pullover. Using a Barbell or Dumbbell to provide resistance, you will start by lying supine on a bench. In order to fully work the lats, you must use a single joint exercise, thus eliminating the weak link (arms). The reason that Arthur explained, “it is difficult to fully work the lats because the arms are much smaller and unable to do as much work as the much larger lats.” The arms are the limiting factor, in terms of stimulating the musculature of the torso. He claimed that up until the point, it was impossible to isolate and fully work the largest single muscle of the upper body, the Latissimus Dorsi. The Pullover was the first machine that Arthur Jones built of what would become fitness giant “Nautilus Inc” (he sold the first one in 1970). ![]() ![]() ![]() Īccurate Books Guarantee: Accurate Books Guarantee is only available for active customers of QuickBooks Live Monthly Bookkeeping who have provided their current business tax return.

She commands an audience of over 100,000 followers on TikTok, where she explores issues like the nuances of content moderation and other topics that might come up in her graduate courses. “The risk seems to be entirely speculative right now, and to me, I’m not sure how it is substantially worse than all of the things that are troubling about social media right now that the government has not been focusing on,” Fiesler said. Casey Fiesler, a University of Colorado Boulder professor of tech ethics and policy, believes that the national security concerns about the app are overstated. Tech ethicists and creators alike share this frustration. ![]() “Congress made clear that they don’t understand TikTok, they don’t listen to their constituents who are in the community of TikTokers - and are using this TikTok hysteria as a way to pass legislation that gives them superpowers to ban any app they deem ‘unsafe’ in the future,” Spehar said following the hearing. Vitus Spehar, host of the TikTok channel Under The News Desk, hosts a live stream during a news conference outside the US Capitol in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. They participated in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon hosted by Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), a rare dissenting voice in Congress who raised questions about what he described as the “hysteria and panic” surrounding TikTok. this week to advocate on TikTok’s behalf - and against the looming threat of a national ban. Spehar is part of a group of TikTok creators who travelled to Washington, D.C. “It’s not just banning the app in the United States it means disconnecting American citizens from Canada, the UK, Mexico, Iran, Ukraine and all of the frontline reporting you see from those countries. ![]() “I think it’s really concerning that a government is considering removing American citizens from the global conversation on an app as robust as TikTok,” Spehar told TechCrunch. But in this week’s news cycle, they’re front-and-center (literally: they sat right behind the TikTok CEO as he testified). TikTok creator Vitus “V” Spehar, known as Under the Desk News, has amassed 2.9 million followers by sharing global news in an approachable way. ![]() During a tech hearing two years ago, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) created another notorious viral moment by asking Facebook’s global head of safety if she would “commit to ending finsta.”Īs entertaining as these lapses in basic knowledge are, TikTok creators have serious concerns about the future of an app that’s given them a community and, in some cases, a career. Zuckerberg responded, “ Senator, we run ads,” failing to stifle a smirk. At a high-profile hearing in 2018, the late Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) infamously asked Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg how Facebook makes money if the app is free. The ignorant questions weren’t unique to the government’s interrogation of Chew. Chew responded, bewildered, “Only if the user turns on the Wi-Fi.” In one instance, Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC) asked Chew if TikTok connects to a user’s home Wi-Fi network. In the aftermath of TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew’s brutal five-hour Congressional hearing on Thursday, TikToker and disinformation researcher Abbie Richards summed up what so many creators were thinking: “It’s actually remarkable how much less Congress knows about social media than the average person,” Richards told TechCrunch.Īcross TikTok, users mocked congresspeople for misunderstanding how technology works. ![]() ![]() ![]() My mission with BVT is to facilitate believers … not to persuade skeptics. The antiviral potential of bee venom, along with its ability to travel over neural pathways, may explain why it has been useful in fighting some of these diseases. Bee venom can also penetrate the blood-brain barrier.Īccording to the Wall Street Journal, a study recently released by the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease, the National Cancer Institute, and the Cleveland Clinic found the virus, XMRV, to be linked to chronic fatigue syndrome, some cases of prostate cancer, autism, atypical MS, and fibromyalgia, in the similar way that HIV is associated with AIDS. Today, the promise of this remedy exists with live honeybees, which can be used to sting malignant tumors close to the skin surface, and make them disappear by killing the cancer cells that feed them. New York-Presbyterian Hospital has completed a Phase II clinical trial using scorpion venom to kill brain cancer cells. Pharmaceutical companies are researching the potential of these venoms as the next generation of cancer fighting drugs. This would include venom from bees, snakes, spiders, scorpions, gila monsters, sea urchins, and sea coral. On the PBS television show Nature, it was reported in the summer of 2005 that venom from a variety of animals has the capacity to kill cancer cells. Topical creams and ointments with bee venom may offer mild relief for strained and overused muscles, but will not be useful in healing more serious injuries. This includes bee venom mixed with other bee products such as honey. In fact, according to Charles Mraz, it is impossible to derive any benefit at all from ingesting bee venom because digestive enzymes will break it down and render it useless. This gives bee venom the ability to travel along neural pathways from the spine, to various trigger points, and injured areas to help repair nerve damage and restore mobility.Ĭontrary to what is stated on the Internet and elsewhere, you cannot get the complete relief you are seeking for the ailments listed above from topical or ingestible products containing bee venom. The most remarkable characteristic of bee venom is the presence of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, which along with the peptide apamin, facilitate nerve transmission and healing in conditions involving nerve disorders. ![]() The antibacterial and antiviral properties of bee venom make it a unique weapon in fighting bacterial and viral ailments of the central nervous system and elsewhere.įurthermore, recent research with laboratory rats in South Korea has shown that melittin, the primary peptide in bee venom, can block inflammatory genes that are inherent with degenerative diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. ![]() The activated charcoal helps draw out any leftover venom and calm bee sting and wasp sting symptoms. In addition, BVT jump starts the immune system to produce a healing response through the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands, and spurs the production of endorphins, the body’s natural pain killer. You can mix activated charcoal powder with water or oil to create a paste and apply it as a bee sting home remedy (also a wasp sting remedy). The healing potency of bee venom is initiated after a sting, when it stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, a natural human hormone that has anti-inflammatory properties. ![]() ![]() ![]() In particular, they make it very easy to set up a custodial account for children, often a common receiver of stock gifts. Stockpile is set up as a very easy to use entry in the world of investing, specifically targeted at people who want to gift stock to others. ![]() If you stick around until the end, I’ll share a link that will let you open an account for a free $5 in any stock that they offer! Below, I’ll review our experience with Stockpile and go over some of the different options and potential fees. They made the entire process very easy, both for sending the gift and letting the receiving party redeem it. While there are a few different ways to give stock out there, the one we finally settled on was Stockpile. In order to set up this same sort of potential situation for our nephew, I started looking into ways to give the gift of stock. Eventually, they would be able to use the funds in the account for a first car, college, or maybe just keep it going as their first step towards achieving FI for themselves (a parent can dream, right?). Even before I let them spend it at an older age, it would be neat to show them statements from their own investment account when explaining investing and how the stock market works. While I would never expect our family to simply take cash given to their children and spend it on themselves, we were luckily able to come up with a much better option! I was thinking about what I might do with cash gifts for my future children and determined that I would probably open up a custodial investment account in their name and buy index funds that could grow for years before they might ever have a use for it. Will they save it in a bank account they open for the child? Maybe invest it for their future college fund? Possibly spend it because no one would be the wiser? We were hoping to find something more meaningful.Ĭash came to mind, but also felt like a weird option for a 1-year-old, but that will honestly depend on what the parents do with it. Plus, it’s hard to make a lasting impression with something that will be added to a growing collection of toys and may hardly ever be played with. His parents were insistent that they already had plenty of those anyway and I imagine this is a common problem for parents of young children. While we weren’t able to make the trip back home, we did want to send a gift but didn’t want to go with the standard clothes and toys option. ![]() Not too long ago, Becky and I were invited to our nephew’s first birthday party back in Chicago. ![]() |
