THIS is how you analyse a character. I will keep playing devil's advocate for this guy to those who just say he was born evil. No, he was not. He was a child.

Donquixote Doflamingo’s reasons and motivation

His motivation is unexpectedly noble for a guy who has suffered brutal violence and was raised by the ruthless killers. We can look into his head for the first time when he has an emotional outburst over the situation in Marineford. When Doffy’s emotions started to outpour, he verbally attacked the World Government.

海賊が悪!!? 海軍が正義!!? そんなものはいくらでも塗り替えられてきた…!!! // Pirates are evil?! The Marines are justice?! Such things have been changed as many times as you want!!!

“平和"を知ねェ子供共と"戦争"を知ねェ子供共との価値観が違う!!! 頂点に立つ者が善悪を塗り替える!!! 今この場所こそ中立だ!!! 正義は勝つって!?  そりゃそうだろ! 勝者だけが正義だ!!!! // Brats who don’t know peace and brats who don’t know war have different values!!! Those at the top decide what is good and what is evil!!! This place is neutral ground right now!!! Justice will prevail, you say?! Of course it will! Whoever prevails is just!!!!

A huge inscription "The Marines” that is shown when Doflamingo is talking about the nature of justice kinda implies.

Justice is the favorite word of the Marines, the World Government army. He directly accuses the Marines of being not very just and defending the world order that brings people suffering. In the pictures from his head, the different values he mentioned are illustrated by the attitude to food. The child soldiers are happy about the canned food they have found (if there were meat on the skeleton, they would probably have gnawed it too), and the rich girl does not want to eat vegetables. Why this particular example is given becomes clear later.

These are the elite officers of the Donquixote Family as children. As can be seen, they all were destitute. The rest of the Donquixote Family members as children are also depicted in a similar way. Doflamingo felt like saying pirates are not always evil and the Marines aren’t always this shining beacon of justice, because sometimes piracy is a lesser evil than…

妻が焼き殺された…!! どうでもいいんどろお前らにゃ // My wife was burned to death!! It’s nothing to you, right?!

お前らに納める[ ��� 上 金 ]のせいで…!! 国が飢餓で滅んだんだ……!!! お前ら腹へったことあるか!? みんな骨と皮になって死んだよ!!! // Because of the Celestial Tribute we have to pay, the country has been ravaged by famine!!! Have you ever had nothing to eat?! Everyone died leaving only a bag of bones!!!

...than death from starvation.

At the time of the Marineford Arc, it was not yet fully revealed how terrible the rule of the WG is, but, to put it bluntly, it turned the world into a giant Nazi camp.

Understanding Yourself Through Healing and Values

In an age dominated by social media and constant bombardment of information, it's easy to lose touch with who we truly are. We're inundated with anxiety, fear, and cultural narratives that often don’t serve us. How then do we sift through the noise and connect deeply with ourselves? The answer lies in self-awareness, healing, and the values we hold dear.

To embark on this journey of self-discovery, we first have to acknowledge how trauma shapes our behavior. Often, we carry unprocessed experiences into our present, much like a bear lurking in a child's story, evoking fear anytime it’s mentioned. This metaphor serves to illustrate how triggers can hijack our emotions, sending us into a tailspin of anxiety or stress. For instance, if a certain word or situation evokes anxiety, a simple exercise to counter this is through deep breathing techniques. By consciously controlling our breath, we alter our physiological responses to stress and begin to recalibrate our state of mind. Breathing deeply allows us to shift from a state of panic to one of calm, enabling clearer decision-making.

Understanding our triggers, however, is just the beginning. To truly heal, we need to delve into our value system. What do we stand for? What do we find unacceptable? Often, a good starting point is the inverse exercise: if you're unsure what your values are, list what you dislike. Gratitude, respect, honesty—these might emerge as core principles after some exploration. It’s vital to articulate what these values mean to us personally. For instance, love could mean a lack of disrespect; what does respect look like in your relationships? This clarity arms you with an internal compass that guides your decisions in dating, work, and friendships.

Yet healing is rarely a linear process. It requires sustained effort and action. The work doesn’t stop after a single session or insight; it’s an ongoing commitment. Like a startup, you must iteratively refine your approach based on active feedback. Founders need to understand their vision and mission, just as we must understand ours to avoid toxic dynamics in our relationships or workplaces. By aligning our actions with our values, we create boundaries that protect us from emotional disturbances inflicted by others.

Moreover, addressing anxiety and healing from trauma is not just a personal endeavor—it also involves recognizing the larger environment. In a workplace where toxic behavior abounds, understanding the underlying motivations of others can offer perspective. Is a colleague acting out due to personal struggles? This insight can help you navigate dynamics more effectively, transforming adversities into opportunities for compassion, rather than conflict.

As we engage in the work of understanding ourselves, we gain tools to react thoughtfully rather than impulsively. Healing from trauma or toxic relationships requires both introspection and action—reflecting on what we value while taking proactive steps to create environments that support our growth.

In conclusion, the journey of self-awareness, healing, and value-based living is profound and transformative. It involves breathing through anxiety, defining our values, and actively reflecting on our relationships with others. This pursuit is not merely for personal benefit but serves to enhance our interactions with the world, fueling a more compassionate and authentic version of ourselves. By embracing this ongoing process, you cultivate a life filled with intention, direction, and deeper connections.

From choosing the perfect wood to selecting the right tools and techniques, there are a few key steps to follow in order to ensure that your custom wood sign turns out just the way you envision it.In this article, we will discuss the step-by-step process of making a custom wood sign that will last a lifetime. So, grab your tools, and let's get started on creating a beautiful and durable wooden sign that will be cherished for years to come.

Choosing the Right Wood: A Guide to Selecting the Perfect Material for Your Custom Signs

Choosing the right wood for your custom signs is crucial in ensuring the durability and visual appeal of your final product. There are several factors to consider when selecting the perfect material for your signs. First and foremost, you need to evaluate the environment in which the sign will be displayed. If it will be placed outdoors, it is important to choose a wood that can withstand exposure to the elements, such as cedar or redwood, which are known for their natural resistance to decay and insect damage. Additionally, the wood should be able to hold up well against fading caused by sunlight. Another factor to consider is the desired aesthetic of your sign. Different woods have varying colors and grain patterns, so it is essential to choose one that aligns with your design vision. Finally, the level of maintenance required should be taken into account. Some woods require regular sealing or staining to protect them from the weather, while others may require minimal upkeep. By carefully considering these factors, you can choose the right wood that will result in a visually appealing and long-lasting custom sign.

Signs of termite damage in wood

Signs of termite damage in wood can vary depending on the severity of the infestation. Some common indicators include hollow-sounding or crumbly wood, the presence of mud tubes along the surface of the wood, and small holes or tunnels in the material. Additionally, termites often leave behind piles of tiny wings near windowsills and doors as they swarm and shed their wings. Wood that appears blistered or distorted, as well as sagging floors or ceilings, may also be indicative of termite activity. It is essential to promptly address any signs of termite damage to avoid further destruction to the structure. Seeking professional assistance is recommended to properly identify and eliminate the termite infestation.

Tools You'll Need to Create a Personalized Sign

When creating a personalized sign, there are a few essential tools you'll need to have on hand. First and foremost, a good quality wood or metal signboard is crucial. Depending on your preference and design, you may also need sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges. To transfer your design onto the signboard, a pencil or chalk will come in handy. Additionally, a set of paintbrushes and paint in your desired colors will be necessary for adding the finishing touches. If you plan on adding any decorative elements, such as stencils or vinyl lettering, make sure to have those on hand as well. Lastly, don't forget about the proper safety equipment, such as goggles and gloves, to protect yourself while working with tools or chemicals.

Designing Your Custom Wood Sign: Tips and Tricks

Designing a sign requires careful planning and consideration of various factors to create an effective and eye-catching result. Firstly, it is crucial to choose a font that is legible and matches the message or brand identity. The size of the sign should be appropriate for the location and intended audience, ensuring it can be easily seen and read from a distance. The color scheme should be thoughtfully selected, considering the psychology of colors and their impact on the viewer's emotions and perceptions. Utilizing contrast between text and background can enhance readability. Additionally, the use of graphic elements or images that align with the message can add visual interest and grab attention. Lastly, reviewing the design from different angles and distances can help identify any necessary adjustments to ensure a successful final product.

Carving and Engraving Techniques for Your Wood Signs

When it comes to creating a unique and eye-catching sign, carving and engraving techniques can make all the difference. Carving involves using tools to shape, sculpt, and remove material from a sign to create a three-dimensional effect. This can be done by hand or with the help of computer-controlled machines. Engraving, on the other hand, involves using a tool or laser to etch designs, letters, or logos onto the surface of the sign. It can be done on various materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. Both techniques require skill and precision to ensure a professional and polished finish. Whether you want a classic, rustic look or a sleek and modern design, carving and engraving can help bring your sign to life and make it stand out from the crowd.

Painting and Finishing Your Sign

Once you have prepared the surface of your sign, it is time to start painting and finishing it. Choose the appropriate type of paint based on the material of your sign, whether it is wood, metal, or plastic. It is important to use a primer before applying the paint to ensure better adhesion and coverage. If you want to achieve a smooth and professional-looking finish, consider using a paint sprayer instead of a brush. However, if you prefer the traditional brush method, make sure to use even strokes and apply multiple thin coats for a more polished appearance. Once the paint has dried, you can add any additional finishing touches such as a clear topcoat or varnish to protect the sign from weathering.

Adding Hardware and Mounting Your Sign

When it comes to adding hardware and mounting your sign, there are a few key steps to follow. First, determine the best location for your sign, taking into consideration visibility and accessibility. Make sure to measure carefully and use a level to ensure the sign will be straight once mounted. Next, gather your hardware, such as screws or brackets, and attach them to the back of the sign. If necessary, drill pilot holes to make the installation process easier. Once the hardware is securely attached, align the sign with the desired location and use a screwdriver or power drill to secure it into place. Finally, step back and admire your professionally mounted sign, knowing that it will attract attention and display your message effectively.

DIY custom sign ideas easy to do

DIY custom sign ideas are a great way to add a personal touch to any space. Whether you want to spruce up your home decor or create a unique gift for someone, there are endless possibilities for easy-to-do projects. One idea is to use stencils and paint to create a custom quote or design on a wooden board. This simple technique allows you to personalize the sign with your favorite saying or a meaningful image. Another idea is to repurpose old materials, such as vintage windows or barn wood, to create a rustic and one-of-a-kind sign. You can easily sand, stain, and paint these materials to match your desired style. These DIY custom sign projects are not only fun to create but also serve as beautiful and personalized decorations.

Maintaining Your Personalized Sign-Over Time

Maintaining your personalized sign over time is important to ensure that it continues to look its best and lasts for years to come. One key aspect of maintenance is regular cleaning. Depending on the material of your sign, you may need to use specific cleaning products or methods. For example, if your sign is made of wood, you might need to gently wipe it with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Additionally, it is important to regularly check for any signs of damage or wear and tear. If you notice any cracks, peeling paint, or other issues, it is best to address them as soon as possible to prevent further damage. By taking these proactive measures, you can maintain the beauty and longevity of your personalized sign.

The skin-brain axis is of emerging interest in the field of neurodevelopment and has prompted discussion asot whether atopic eczema's link with ASd may be unique from that of non-cutaneous atopic conditions. For instance, from 3 to 4 post-conception weeks, the brain, skin and skin appendages develop in syncrhonisation in utero, all originating from one of three primary germ layers, the ectoderm. Accordingly, whilst the neuroectoderm differentiates to form early derivatives of the brain, such as the neural tube, the ventral ectoderm develops into a monolayer epidermis. It, therefore, seems plausible that atopic eczema may be uniquely associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes relative to non-cutaneous atopic disorders.

よく「発明は1人でできる。製品化には10人かかる。量産化には100人かかる」とも言われますが、実際に、私はネオジム磁石を1人で発明しました。製品化、量産化については住友特殊金属の仲間たちと一緒に、短期間のうちに成功させました。82年に発明し、83年から生産が始まったのですから、非常に早いです。そしてネオジム磁石は、ハードディスクのＶＣＭ(ボイスコイルモーター)の部品などの電子機器を主な用途として大歓迎を受け、生産量も年々倍増して、2000年には世界で1万トンを超えました。

The Delian League, Part 2: From Eurymedon to the Thirty Years Peace (465/4-445/4 BCE)

This text is part of an article series on the Delian League.

The second phase of the Delian League's operations begins with the Hellenic victory over Mede forces at Eurymedon and ends with the Thirty Years Peace between Athens and Sparta (roughly 465/4 – 445/4 BCE).The Greek triumph at Eurymedon resulted in a cessation of hostilities against the Persians, which lasted almost six years. Whether or not this peace or truce followed from some formal treaty negotiated by Cimon, son of Miltiades, remains unknown.

Nevertheless, the Greek success at Eurymedon proved so decisive, the damage inflicted on Persia so great, and the wealth confiscated so considerable that an increasing number of League members soon began to wonder if the alliance still remained necessary. The Persians, however, had not altogether withdrawn from the Aegean. They still had, for example, a sizeable presence in both Cyprus and Doriscus. They also set about to build a great number of new triremes.

REDUCTION OF THASOS & THE BATTLE OF DRABESCUS

A quarrel soon erupted between the Athenians and Thasians over several trading ports and a wealth-producing mine (465 BCE). Competing economic interests compelled the rich and powerful Thasos to revolt from the Delian League. The Thasians resisted for almost three years. When the polis finally capitulated, the Athenians forced Thasos to surrender its naval fleet and the mine, dismantle defensive walls, pay retributions, and converted the future League contributions to monetary payments: 30 talents annum. Some League members became disaffected with the Athenian reduction of Thasos. Several poleis observed the Athenians had now developed a penchant for using "compulsion." They started to see Athens acting with both "arrogance and violence." On expeditions, furthermore, the other members felt they "no longer served as equals" (Thuc. 1.99.2).

The Athenians, meanwhile, attempted to establish a colony on the Strymon river to secure timber from Macedon, which shared its borders with the west bank. The location also proved a critical strategic point from which to protect the Hellespont. The Thracians, however, repelled the League forces at Drabescus. The Athenians soon realized the threats from both Thrace and Macedon made permanent settlements in the region difficult as they were essentially continental powers, and the League fleet could not reach them easily. Designs for the region, however, would not change, and the Athenians would return there again.

The Delian League had by this time demonstrated an inherent conflict from its beginnings: on the one hand, it engaged in heroic struggles against the Mede and extended its influence, reaping enormous benefits (especially for its poorer members). On the other hand, it also suppressed its members and soon demanded obedience from them.

The League engaged from the outset in a form of soft imperialism, collecting and commanding voluntary naval contributions and tribute while Athens used those resources and led all expeditions, enforcing continued membership but also showing little or no interest to interfere with the internal mechanisms of any member polis (unless it openly rebelled).
