![]() Routine nursery surveys are a proactive way to detect the presence of new pests. BOLO: Be on the lookout! Carefully inspect all potted plants for slugs.Consider sourcing options and pest distribution when purchasing plants.Prevention and early detection efforts protect Hawaii’s nursery industry and environment. This species is not known to occur in Hawaii.Fascism, he suggests, can crop up anywhere-but if enough people can be like Berenger and refuse to rationalize it in its early stages and refuse to accept the violence that follows, it may be possible to stop it before it’s too late. With this, Ionesco simultaneously condemns the actions of the thousands of people in Germany and Romania who allowed fascist movements to gain traction and carry out unspeakable violence, while also encouraging readers or audiences to look critically at their own world. ![]() If allowed to flourish, all aspects of infrastructure will inevitably be compromised, and society will thus break down into an unintelligible violence. ![]() Instead, the attempts to make sense of a person’s reasons only provide more legitimacy for the ideology or movement itself and, for this reason, should be avoided or treated with intense caution.Įspecially once Berenger and Daisy discover that the rhinoceroses have taken over the radio, the phone lines, and that even the firefighters have become rhinoceroses, the play makes it clear that fascism and other extreme and harmful ideologies aren’t to be trifled with. It’s impossible, he insists, to ignore the fact that rhinoceritis-or fascism-is harmful, just because someone’s reasons for believing in the ideology make sense. Papillion had a moral imperative to resist such an urge, and essentially makes the case that people’s reasons for becoming a rhinoceros don’t matter in light of the inexcusable things they do in their new forms. Berenger refuses to play into Dudard’s line of thinking, suggests that Mr. Papillion is now committing violent and destructive acts as a rhinoceros. Papillon may have become a rhinoceros because he was bored and tired of office life-a distinct possibility, but one that still ignores the fact that Mr. Rather than express outrage at the damage that the rhinoceroses cause or fear for his own safety as he talks about navigating the overrun town, Dudard encourages Berenger to keep an open mind and consider the possibility that, for example, their boss Mr. When Berenger’s coworker Dudard visits him a few days into the rhinoceroses’ takeover, he and Berenger discuss that all of their coworkers and friends have since become rhinoceroses. Although this desire may seem noble, within the world of the play this leads, without fail, to making excuses in the name of rationality or fairness while ignoring the pain and suffering that the rhinoceroses cause. Through the characters’ blind acceptance of the rhinoceroses’ presence, Ionesco also suggests that fascism, as rhinoceritis’s real-world parallel, is able to spread in part by preying on people’s sense of humanity and a desire to understand the other side of the argument in a rational, logical way. Instead, the play suggests, anyone-from the office secretary to one’s coworkers and even best friends-is susceptible to such things, no matter a person’s sex, educational level, marital status, or anything else. By doing this, Ionesco makes it clear that it’s not just identifiably evil villains who discover and promote harmful ideologies like fascism. The play does this in part by offering characters who are relatively generic and devoid of any backstory or distinguishing characteristics-the little backstory that the play gives for Jean, for example, in no way offers any insight into who he is why he ultimately succumbs. One of the points that Rhinoceros repeatedly makes is that while people may like to think that they wouldn’t be swayed by something like fascism, in reality it’s shockingly easy for normal, sensible, and respected people to be taken in by such an ideology. Ultimately though, much like the rhinoceritis illness that befalls the characters in the play, fascism lulls people into sympathizing with or buying into a belief system that is fundamentally dangerous and dehumanizing. As “rhinoceritis” functions as a metaphor for fascist regimes in general, Rhinoceros pays close attention to the way in which fascist and totalitarian beliefs-and eventually, regimes-are akin to a disease that gradually infects a population by introducing its ideas in a way that, at first glance, don’t seem to be so horrible. Rhinoceros is widely considered to be a critique of Nazi Germany, as well as of the fascist party and movement known as the Iron Guard, which simultaneously arose in Ionesco’s native Romania.

![]() You will be 2 levels behind a wizard in spells and 2 levels delayed before you get extra attack at level 7 but you will have 4 sorcery points and two metamagic options, quicken and something else (twinned is good)ĭivine Soul will give you +2d4 to a saving throw once per short rest, this exists solely to save your concentration or wisdom save from fucking you over, and it's a stop-gap measure it doesn't actually solve the problem. There exists an uncommon magic item headband that sets your intelligence to 19 (headband of intellect) -YOU WANT THIS- actually I'd go as far as to say -YOU NEED THIS- even if the campaign went all the way to level 20 you're maxing dex at 14 and maybe getting warcaster at 18, there wont be any increasing intellect in the cards. HP is pretty damn awful, your AC is average at best, your DC is pretty damn bad. Start with 1 divine soul then go into bladesinger, this gets you con proficiency- second sorcerer level will wait until after you get level 8 wizard so this really is the long game. Now you want to sling actual spells whilst also attacking, bladesinger can only sling cantrips whilst attacking so we're going to have to get a bit creative (and MAD)Ĭustom Lineage (+2 dex, gunner) gets online earlier. Being lvl 11+ means 3 eldritch beams per cast, so that's 1 handgun attack and 3 beams, then you do it all over again once you surge □īladesinger gets leather armor proficiency and you don't want to wear medium armor so I think multiclassing them with artificer is less valuable seeing as you want to max dex. YouTube Offbeat Outlaw made a level 15 character for a one shot using this and some fighter levels for action surge. Mix fighter or sorcerer or both to be able to just shoot a bunch of Eldritch Bullets.Ĥ) It's MAD in stats and you have to be kinda mad to try it, but if you're able to combine Bladesinger with 2 warlock levels you can shoot your gun and then cast EB for a total of 3 "shots" per turn at level 6. Okay, so depending on how crazy you want to get:ġ) a straight bladesinger who can use a gun as a spell focus works just fine! Reflavor firebolt and any attack roll spell as special bullets, etc.Ģ) Artillerist/Bladesinger works the same way with a little slower progression but arguably better overall with more utility and use of bonus action hand cannonģ) Warlock EB from a gun focus goes pew a lot without any real work.

![]() ![]() Pre-stretching the elastic prevents it from stretching out over time as you wear the bracelet. Remember, it’s always better to cut a piece of elastic that’s too long and trim away the excess cord later. In other words: measure your wrist circumference, multiply by two, and add 12 extra inches. ![]() A doubled cord gives the bracelet extra strength, so it will last for a good, long time.Ĭut a length of cord that’s twice as long as your wrist measurement, plus 12 inches. I like to use a double strand of elastic to make stretch bracelets. If you are using large beads, you may need to add a little extra length to your bracelet. Jewelry-making tip: A bracelet made from larger-diameter beads will feel tighter than the same-sized bracelet made from smaller-diameter beads, like seed beads. For reference, a small adult wrist is 7″ around, a medium wrist is 8″, and a large wrist is 9″. Measure your wrist, so you know what size bracelet to make. Gather your beads, elastic cord, scissors, and glue. Here is a complete tutorial on how to make beaded bracelets with elastic cord. 5mm diameter, is suitable for smaller beads, like delicate Czech glass beads. Thicker elastic, such as 1mm diameter, is sturdy and suitable for larger and heavier beads like gemstone beads. You can buy elastic cord in a few different thicknesses. It’s strong, durable, widely available in craft stores. In my opinion, Stretch Magic Cord is one of the best all-purpose stretchy cords to use for bracelet making. It’s typically thicker than other elastic cords – so you’d need to use large-hole beads. This type of stretch cord comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes. However, since it’s made from multiple strands of stretchy material, it can fray. It’s less likely to stretch out over time, and it’s easier to knot than single-strand cord. This type of elastic is a strong, fibrous, flat cord. The most popular brand of stretch cord is called Stretch Magic. It comes in a variety of sizes and colors, including a clear cord and black cord. The most common type of elastic cord is a rubbery, single-strand cord with a round cross-section. Choose from this list to find the best elastic string for your particular project. There are several varieties of elastic bead cord. The elastic cord stretches like a rubber band, making the bracelets easy to put on and take off. ![]() Stretch bracelets are made by stringing beads onto a stretchy elastic cord. Here’s a tip: Select your beads before choosing your cord, and then buy the largest diameter cord that will fit through the beads. You can use seed beads too, as long as the size of the hole is larger enough to fit your stretch cord. Glass beads come in all different colors, sizes, and shapes.They have larger holes, so they are easy to string on the elastic thread. They’re ideal for beginners or kids’ craft projects. Plastic beads, like mini pony beads and letter beads, are cute, colorful, and inexpensive.In general, choose lightweight beads with smooth edges (so they won’t that won’t fray the elastic cord.) Here are some good choices: You can use letter beads to personalize your bracelets, and even add charms to them if you want. You can make elastic bracelets with almost any type of beads, from small beads to larger beads. Crimp bead covers (optional – I’ll explain more below).Large eye beading needle (If you don’t have a beading needle, you can use a small length of beading wire, folded in half.).Bead stopper (If you don’t have a bead stopper, you can use a binder clip of a small piece of tape.).I’m using seed beads for this tutorial, but you can also use plastic pony beads. Here are the best bracelet-making materials you’ll need to ensure the project turns out well – and your bracelets last for a good, long time. Making bead bracelets is a pretty simple project, but the right supplies and tools will make it even easier. With just a little practice, you can make an armful of new bracelets in no time at all!

If your problem does not occur while the computer is in a clean boot environment, then you can determine which startup application or service is causing the problem by systematically turning them on or off and restarting the computer. While turning on a single service or startup item and rebooting each time will eventually find the problematic service or application, the most efficient way to do this is to test half of them at a time, thus eliminating half of the items as the potential cause with each reboot of the computer.
