Volper (Alpha Rome Book 1): LitRPG Series

Product Information

While little is really known about them, and it’s almost impossible to get a good photo of one alive at deep sea, thousands of them get caught in fishing nets, mostly in the Atlantic Ocean.

Many deep sea creatures can’t see red light, so it’s suspected that there are other wavelengths emitted at the same time that we don’t know about yet. 4. They start off normal-looking What we do think is that they are a subgroup of your more relatable eel, relegated to the darkness on account of being ugly as hell. Karlin Chassidim tell the following story: Reb Shlomo did not immediately accept the nesius following Reb Aharon’s passing. So, came Mincha on that Shabbos, the amud stood empty since the custom was for the Rebbe to lead the tefillos. Eventually, the Volper ascended and began leading the tefillah. But , as he reached the possuk of וּֽמֵאֲרָצ֗וֹת קִ֫בְּצָ֥ם מִמִּזְרָ֥ח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָ֑ב מִצָּפ֥וֹן וּמִיָּֽם ׃ and began to turn in all four directions- as was Reb Aharon’s custom- the Chassidim removed him from the amud. They placed Reb Shlomo in his place and he subsequently led the tefillah. Now, multiple Chassidim did encounter him wandering from city to city- interestingly, a behavior the Volper is noted to have engaged in by the Alter Rebbe and his son-in-law. However, only the story of his meeting with Reb Yehuda Leipli makes mention of any drinking. Additionally, the source of this story is the Beis Rebi who originated this description of his ending. Is your glass of wine moonlighting as a Polaroid photograph? Better not smudge the picture! If you are eating something greasy with your fingers, and then grab the bulb of your wine glass, I can see why that would be less than ideal, as no one wants to look at a greasy mess, but still, this is not the reason why it’s best to hold a wine glass by the stem. You will hear that if you get fingerprints on the wine glass, you cannot see the wine as clearly to determine things like opacity, legs, and rim variation, but this doesn’t make much sense either. I recommend experimenting and challenging the theory — get your fingerprints all over a wine glass and tell me that it obstructed your view of the wine. Again, marginally, perhaps, but it’s not likely.

A slightly different account of events was retold by the Rebbe Rashab [4]: After hearing a Torah from the Maggid, the Alter Rebbe went to the Volper’s host residence, an elderly widow, to chazer the teaching together. The house was full of smoke because it had no chimney, and because the air near the ground was cleaner- and since there were no chairs anyway- they had to sit on the floor. Initial: 600 mg/day in 2 divided doses, preferably after food. Dose may be increased by 200mg/day at 3 days interval to a maximum of 2.5 gm daily in divided doses until control of seizure is achieved.

The virulence potential of S. aureus is to a large extent defined by its capacity to produce a plethora of different toxins, many of which target mechanisms of host defense 6. Some S. aureus toxins are encoded on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and are thus limited to a subset of S. aureus isolates, whereas others are encoded on the S. aureus core genome or on highly conserved genomic islands and so are produced by virtually all strains. Among the latter, phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) have recently attracted much attention, because they have been found to have a key impact on the pathogenesis of S. aureus infections 7, 8. Since these eels don’t have a swim bladder like most of their kind, they have to figure out other ways to manage buoyancy. The complement of PSMs in staphylococci varies, with the composition being specific for a given species 7, 16, 17. PSM nomenclature is not consistent. In S. epidermidis, they were given consecutive Greek letters upon discovery, whereas in S. aureus, they were named with Greek letters according to the grouping of PSMs into the smaller α-type and the larger β-type group (see below). The latter nomenclature should be kept to designate PSMs discovered in the future. PSM peptides in different species can have the same name but different amino acid sequences and it is therefore best to always refer to a PSM peptide with its name and producing species. Unsurprisingly, almost nothing is known about Reb Chaim Volper’s early years. The name Volper derives from him having served as Av Beis Din in the city Wolpa. Though the exact years of his holding this position is unknown, it must’ve been before he left for Karlin in circa. 5522. Following this episode, the Volper was rejected by Reb Shlomo and the Karlin Chassidim. He was subject to public criticism from Reb Shlomo and reportedly, was even physically abused by the Chassidim [8].

These are members of the saccopharyngiforms, colloquially known as Gulper eels, or Pelican eels– referring to its huge mouth and pelican-like lower jaw pouch. According to other traditions, it was the Maggid himself. Once, by the Maggid’s tisch he arose and declared, “I have one individual who is a precious apple, but there is a worm within him. If he overcomes this worm he will be a very precious vessel, however, if not, chas veshalom, the worm will fully consume him.” Reb Chaim, who was present, assumed the Maggid was referring to Reb Nochum Tchernobiler who was then absent. He afterward recounted this to Reb Nochum who countered that this could not be since the Maggid would have said it in his presence [5]. John V. Gartner, Jr. (1983), “ Sexual Dimorphism in the Bathypelagic Gulper Eel Eurypharynx pelecanoides (Lyomeri: Eurypharyngidae), with Comments on Reproductive Strategy“, JSTOR. Epilepsy: All types of epilepsy such as Absence seizure, Myoclonic seizure, Tonic-clonic seizure, Atonic, Mixed, simple or generalized, Secondary generalized seizure etc.

Not much is known about the gulper eels, as live specimens are hardly ever seen, and dead ones are so fragile that they’re difficult to inspect.

Initial: 20 mg/kg daily in divided doses. Dose may be increased in severe cases with proper monitoring of plasma concentration. If this is true, it suggests perhaps that the red light emitted by the animal’s tail may in fact be a communication device to other eels. 1 7. They have rows upon rows of teeth
