He was considered very skilled and valuable and he was given the Lester B. Pearson award for the Most Outstanding Player in 2004.
Playing career
Naslund began his career in Sweden, playing for Team Modo Hockey.
Naslund was still quite young at that time.
He played very well and was drafted by the NHL.
In 1994, after being drafted by the NHL, he was taken in by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
He started his rookie NHL years here.
He did not play many games as he was not seen to be a great player at that time.
Finally, the manager of the Penguins traded him to the Vancouver Canucks.
After being traded to the Canucks, Naslund was not used in games.
The Vancouver coach thought that he was not very good, so Naslund asked to be traded.
But he was not.
Suddenly, he was put in the lineup and did quite well compared to the rest of the team, which were struggling.
In 2000, he was put with Todd Bertuzzi and they scored many goals together.
Naslund was now a superstar and in 2004 he reached career highs and the NHL gave him the Lester B. Pearson award.
But in the 2006-2007 season, he struggled because Bertuzzi was traded away and it was much harder for him to score.
But in the playoffs that year, he scored many goals in a short period of time.
Naslund promised he would be much better next year.
In the 2008 offseason, the Rangers signed Naslund to a two-year, $8 million contract.
Naslund has spent most of his time with the Rangers playing on the team's first line with Scott Gomez as his center.
On May 4, 2009 he announced his retirement from professional hockey.

Pier Gerlofs Donia, 1480 - 1520.
He fought for the independence of Friesland (which is now part of the Netherlands).
He was an enormous man and was said to be well over 7 feet tall.
Donia was also known as Grutte Pier, which means "Big Lad", in Frisian language, or Grote Pier, which means the same in Dutch language.
He also was a pirate.
This great man fought against the people from Holland, Germany, and the Burgundians.
In his biggest battle at sea he captured 28 ships, and he killed all 500 men who had been taken prisoner. "
Big Lad" was then called the Cross of the Dutchman.
Bûter, brea en griene tsiis: wa't dat net sizze kin, is gjin oprjochte Fries.
Butter, rye-bread, and young cheese: whoever cannot say that is not a true Frisian.
Those prisoners who could not answer this in proper Frisian had their heads cut off by Donia himself.
Pier was also noted for his ability to behead several people with a single blow.
This meant he could kill many enemies at the same time during battle, and gave him an excellent advantage over his opponents.
His famous fighting skills proved their worth in many battles.
Despite his many successes, Pier could not defeat the Burgundian/Hapsburg armies.
He retired disillusioned in 1519.
He died peacefully in bed in the Frisian town of Sneek on October 28 in the year 1520.
His last words were spoken to his life-time enemy, the count of Nychlenborch.
He was asked by the count were he wanted to go after he died, to which Pier replied "Nea myn Heer ta" ("To my Lord").
He then died.
After the Giant of Kimswerd (another nickname) died, Friesland never again earned its freedom.
It has remained a province of the Netherlands.

Although he was a Catholic, he was critical of the Roman Catholic Church and wrote satires of them.
He stood at the beginning of the reformation.
*He visited England four times, his most important visit being from 1509 to 1514 when he was appointed to a professorship at Cambridge University.
During this visit, he also became a well known figure around the court of King Henry VIII.

The Elfstedentocht, Dutch for "Eleven cities tour" is a race for people on ice skates.
The race takes place on canals in Friesland in the north of the Netherlands.
The route of the race goes through eleven towns and is nearly 200 kilometers long.
It can only be held in winters when it has been cold enough to freeze the canals to enough depth to make it safe for skating on.
The race starts and finishes in Leeuwarden, the capital city of Friesland.
The route goes through all eleven places in Friesland which are officially called "towns".
The race has been held 15 times.
The first year it took place was 1909.
The most recent race was on 4 January 1997.
The ice on the canals has to be at least 15 cm thick for the race to take place.
It is a very tough race, although some years the race has been tougher than others, depending on the weather conditions.
1963 was an extremely cold winter.
That year only one in 100 people who took part managed to finish the race.

Clinton Richard Dawkins DSc, FRS, FRSL (born Nairobi, 26 March 1941) is an English  biologist, evolutionist, and writer.
He is an emeritus Fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Simonyi Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008.
Dawkins is an atheist, a vice president of the British Humanist Association, and a supporter of the Brights movement.
He is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design.
In his 2006 book The God Delusion, Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that religious faith is a delusion—"a fixed false belief".
As of January 2010, the English-language version had sold more than two million copies and had been translated into 31 languages.
Dawkins' ideas on evolution were heavily influenced by W.D. Hamilton.
The influence can be seen throughout Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene.
They became friends at Oxford and, after Hamilton's death, Dawkins wrote his obituary and organised a secular memorial service.

A stalactite is a form that can be found on the ceiling of a cave.
When a drop of water flows down the stalactite, the water evaporates and leaves a mineral deposit of calcite.
This slowly increases the length and thickness of the stalactite.
The corresponding formation on the floor underneath a stalactite is known as a stalagmite.
Given enough time, these formations can meet.
The results are known as columns.

Scarface is a 1983 American crime thriller movie.
It was directed by Brian De Palma, written by Oliver Stone, produced by Martin Bregman and stars Al Pacino.
The story is about Tony Montana, a Cuban criminal who moves to Miami, Florida and creates his own cocaine business.
It is a loose remake of the 1932 movie Scarface.
The movie made $85 million.
Tony Montana is a prisoner from Cuba who is coming to the United States on a boat to escape the oppressive Communist government.
Once there, he works for Frank Lopez, a Miami drug lord.
Soon, Tony kills Frank and takes over his business.
He also marries Elvira, Frank's girlfriend who at first refused to go out with Tony because of Frank.
Soon, Tony becomes very rich and powerful because of his growing cocaine empire.
He meets Alexander Sosa, a powerful Bolivian drug lord.
Elvira later leaves Tony because she feels that despite all of their money and power, Tony's criminal lifestyle and drug problems make them losers.
Tony is eventually arrested for not paying taxes and even though he would be able to bribe some of the judges, he will still have to go to jail for three years.
Sosa offers to have one of his contacts in the Justice Department write off Tony's charges if Tony kills a journalist who is going to make a speech against Sosa to the United Nations.
Tony plants a bomb on the target's car, but sees the journalist's family inside it, and does not make the bomb go off.
Tony later visits his best friend, Manny, but when he sees his sister, Gina, with him, he kills him.
Gina reveals that she and Manny got married a few days earlier and wanted to surprise Tony.
Tony, feeling extreme guilt for killing his friend and ruining his sister's life, withdraws to his mansion and begins to snort large amounts of cocaine.
Sosa gets angry and sends many men to Miami to kill Tony.
When the men enter Tony's mansion, they kill Gina and most of his men.
Angry and sad at the death of his sister, Tony singlehandedly kills many of Sosa's men in a major shootout.
Tony is then shot in the back by an assassin with a shotgun, and falls into his fountain below, dead.

Contract killing is murder where a person or group is paid (usually money) to kill someone else.
Someone who does this is known as a hit man (also hitman), or assassin.
Contract killing is illegal, and is punishable, sometimes by death.
Contract killing is often used by the mafia.
MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine), also known as Ecstasy (abbreviated E, X, or XTC), molly (U.S.), or mandy (U.K.), is a psychoactive drug with stimulant and psychedelic effects that is primarily used as a recreational drug.
Drugs sold under the street names ecstasy, molly, or mandy are often advertised as pure MDMA, but are often mixed with multiple other drugs.
MDMA can cause feelings of euphoria (extreme happiness) and altered sensations.
Bad side effects include insomnia, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and addiction.
It causes an initial increase in neurotransmitters that is followed by a short-term drop in neurotransmitters, which can lead to severe depression after coming down from the high.
MDMA is illegal in most countries.
Possessing, making or selling it could result in criminal prosecution and a possible prison term.
Some countries, such as the U.S., have made limited exceptions to these laws for research.
There have been some initial studies on whether it can help patients with severe PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) make progress in therapy if they take very low doses of MDMA immediately before appointments (under medical supervision). ,
MDMA has no accepted medical uses.
The use of MDMA has become more widespread in recent years.
Among teens surveyed in 2018, more than 4% of 12th graders in the U.S. reported using ecstasy at some point in their lives.
Even some very young teens are experimenting with the drug.
More than 1.5% of 8th graders reported ever having used the drug.
Many ecstasy tablets, especially those sold online on the “dark net” are more potent than ever before, as well.
According to one European study, while tablets in the 90s and early 2000s average about 50-80 mg, the average dose of an ecstasy tablet on the current market is now 125 mg.
Some “super pills” have been marketed, with doses ranging between 270 and 340 mg.
MDMA has many effects on the human body and brain.
It makes the brain release the chemicals serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.
During MDMA use the body also makes more of the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin.
All these effects together can make MDMA dangerous to use.
The change in body temperature and the tendency to dance for hours on end can make users dehydrate if not enough water is drunk during this time (an example of dehydration and hyperthermia).
Lots of dancing can also put pressure on the heart.
People with existing heart conditions are vulnerable to these negative side effects.
Around 7 people die out of every million that use MDMA.
Mostly this is due to overheating and dehydration.
However, it is possible to drink too much water, swelling the brain and causing death.
Many people have died from this after taking MDMA.
Another factor is the hormone vasopressin, which is released during MDMA use.
Vasopressin restricts the body's urge to urinate, which helps to get rid of excess liquid in the body before it becomes a problem.
No current legal use
Ecstasy is illegal in most, if not all, countries.
In the United States, it is classified as a "Schedule I" drug.
Schedule I drugs have no official medical use and are highly addictive.
Some scientists believe Ecstasy may be useful in therapy since it has been found to reduce fear in some individuals.
Recently, there has been some research on if it can help people with severe PTSD confront painful memories during therapy appointments.
It may also have potential to help people diagnosed with cancer manage their anxiety about death.
The Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a scale that is used to sort tropical cyclones in the Western Hemisphere.
It is only used for storms that are stronger than "tropical storms", and become actual hurricanes.
The categories into which the scale separates hurricanes are noted by the strength of their maximum sustained wind speeds.
The classifications are used mainly to predict the possible wind damage a hurricane will create when it makes landfall.
It does not measure rainfall or storm surge or how wide the storm is.
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is used only to describe hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean and northern Pacific Ocean, to the east of the International Date Line.
Other areas call their tropical storms by other names, and use their own classification scales.
Category 1 storms may damage roofs, shingles, vinyl sidings, and gutters to well-constructed frame homes.
Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled.
Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days.
Hurricanes that peaked at Category 1 intensity and made landfall at that intensity include: Agnes (1972), Juan (1985), Ismael (1995), Danny (1997), Claudette (2003), Gaston (2004), Stan (2005), Humberto (2007), Isaac (2012), Manuel (2013), Earl (2016),  Hermine (2016), Nate (2017), Barry (2019), Lorena (2019), Hanna (2020), Isaias (2020), and Nana (2020).
Category 2 storms may produce extremely dangerous winds that will cause extensive damage: Well-constructed frame homes could sustain major roof and siding damage.
Many shallowly rooted trees will be snapped or uprooted and block numerous roads.
Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks.
Tropical cyclones of Category 3 and higher are major hurricanes, and devastating damage will occur: Well-built framed homes may incur major damage or removal of roof decking and gable ends.
Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads.
Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes.
Hurricanes that peaked at Category 3 intensity and made landfall at that intensity include: Easy (1950), Carol (1954), Hilda (1955), Audrey (1957), Celia (1970), Ella (1970), Caroline (1975), Eloise (1975), Olivia (1975), Alicia (1983), Elena (1985), Roxanne (1995), Fran (1996), Isidore (2002), Jeanne (2004), Lane (2006), Karl (2010),   and Otto (2016).
Category 4 storms may cause catastrophic damage.
Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls.
Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed.
Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas.
Power outages will last weeks to possibly months.
Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.
The 1900 Galveston hurricane, the deadliest natural disaster (at the time) to hit the United States, peaked at an intensity that corresponds to a modern-day Category 4 storm.
Other examples of storms that peaked at Category 4 intensity and made landfall at that intensity include: Donna (1960), Flora (1963), Cleo (1964), Betsy (1965), Carmen (1974), Frederic (1979), Joan (1988), Iniki (1992), Luis (1995), Iris (2001), Charley (2004), Dennis (2005), Gustav (2008), Ike (2008), Joaquin (2015), Harvey (2017),  Laura (2020), and Eta (2020).
Category 5 is the highest category of the Saffir–Simpson scale.
These storms cause roofs to break apart on many buildings, and some building may break apart, with small utility buildings blown over or away.
Collapse of many roofs and walls, especially those with no inside supports, is common.
Very heavy and unfixable damage to many wooden buildings and total destruction to mobile/manufactured homes is common.
Only a few types of buildings can survive, and only if located at least  inland.
They include office, condominium and apartment buildings and hotels that are of concrete or steel frame construction, multi-story concrete parking garages, and residences that are made of either lots of brick or concrete/cement block and have roofs with slopes of no less than 35 degrees from a horizontal angle and no overhangs of any kind, and if the windows are either made of hurricane-resistant safety glass or covered with shutters.
Unless most of these requirements are met, the catastrophic destruction of a structure may occur.
The storm's flooding causes major damage to the lower floors of all structures near the shoreline, and many coastal structures can be completely flattened or washed away by the storm surge.
Virtually all trees are uprooted or snapped and some may be debarked, isolating most affected communities.
Massive evacuation of residential areas may be required if the hurricane threatens populated areas.
Total and extremely long-lived power outages and water losses are to be expected, possibly for up to several months.
Historical examples of storms that made landfall at Category 5 status include: "Cuba" (1924), "Okeechobee" (1928), "Bahamas" (1932), "Cuba–Brownsville" (1933), "Labor Day" (1935), Janet (1955), Camille (1969), Edith (1971), Anita (1977), David (1979), Gilbert (1988), Andrew (1992), Dean (2007), Felix (2007), Irma (2017), Maria (2017), Michael (2018), and Dorian (2019).
No Category 5 hurricane is known to have made landfall at that strength in the eastern Pacific basin.

Pangolins (or scaly anteaters) are mammals which live in Africa and Asia.
They have scales on their skin.
They are the only mammals which have this adaptation.
There are three genera of pangolin, all of which eat ants and termites.
They catch their food using their tongues, and they do not eat anything else.
These scaled mammals are considered one of the most threatened animal among the mammal species.
Unfortunately we know very little of their known status, such as their distribution across West African countries.
Only evidence of the white bellied pangolin (Phataginus tricuspis) was found.
No evidence of the Giant Pangolin (Smutsia gigantic) was found leading to believe that the giant pangolin no longer appears in West Africa.
Pangolins have features of armadillos (long, ant eating tongue and broad tail) and sloths (claws), but the pangolin is in a completely different order.
The pangolin belongs to the order Pholidota.
Pangolins have large, hardened, overlapping plate-like scales.
The pangolin scales are made of keratin.
and are attached to muscles under the skin.
and can be moved to point towards predators.
Hair grows between the scales and near the rear of the animal.
The pangolin's scaled body is a bit like a pine cone or globe artichoke.
It can curl up into a ball when threatened, with its overlapping scales acting like armour while it tucks its face under its tail.
The scales are sharp, providing extra defence from predators.
A mother pangolin's gestation period is between 120 and 180 days.
Young pangolin are born with scales, and they harden by the second day the pangopup is out of the womb.
When walking on a level surface the pangolin is bipedal.
It walks on the back legs.
Its body is held horizontal, and is balanced by its heavy tail at the back.
Sometimes pangolins are smuggled into China on the black market.
Their scales are used as an ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine.
Pangolins are a critically endangered species and have been hunted and trafficked all across Asia and Africa.
They are usually sought after for their scales, meat and medical properties.
This creature also has been identified as a host for SARS-CoV-2 and similar viruses.

He was part of a study under animal psychologist Irene Pepperberg since 1977 at two different universities: Brandeis University in Massachusetts and before that, University of Arizona.
He died on Sept 7, 2007, of yet unknown causes.
He knew about 100 words as of 2000, and was not ordinary because he appeared to understand what he said.
For example, when Alex was shown an object and was asked about its shape, color, or material, he could label it correctly.
If he was asked the difference between two things, he would also answer that, but if there was no difference between the things, he would say “none.”
Alex's name is an acronym.
ALEX is short for Avian Learning EXperiment.

An ellipsis is a type of punctuation mark.
In writing, it is a row of three points (...).
Its name comes from the ancient Greek word ἔλλειψις (omission/falling short).
Notice that the three dots are not spaced as full points: they are a separate special typographic sign.
Depending on context and place in a sentence, ellipses can indicate an unfinished thought, a leading statement, a slight pause, a mysterious or echoing voice, or a nervous or awkward silence.
An ellipsis can be used to trail off into silence—for example: But I thought he was...
So much more could be said...
When text is quoted from a book or a newspaper, it stands for words that have been cut out to save space in a page.
"...one day all Americans will live peacefully throughout the world...they will be at peace with all other world inhabitants..."
In mathematics, different symbols for ellipsis are used to a similar effect.
These include the horizontal ellipsis symbols  and , along with vertical ellipsis symbols such as  and  .

The Coptic Catholic Church is a church in full communion with the Pope in Rome instead of the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria.
The church has about 162,000 members (as of 2007).
Most of the members are in Egypt.
Coptic Catholics are seen as a schism from the Coptic Orthodox Church.
They left that church in order to come into full communion with the Catholic Church.
The current Coptic Catholic Patriarch of Alexandria is Archbishop Antonios Naguib.
In 1990, Coptic Catholic sources estimated that there were about 10,000 followers in countries other than Egypt.
These followers are under the care of local Latin Rite bishops.
There are Coptic Catholic parishes in: Paris, Montréal, New York City, Los Angeles, Sydney, and Melbourne.
In 1741, a Coptic bishop in Jerusalem named Anba Athanasius became a Catholic.
Pope Benedict XIV appointed him Vicar Apostolic of the small community (approximately 2,000 people) who also became Catholics.
Although Athanasius returned to the Coptic Orthodox Church later, a line of Catholic Vicars Apostolic continued after him.

Roberto Luongo (born April 4, 1979) is a former Canadian ice hockey goaltender who played in the National Hockey League (NHL).
Luongo retired from the NHL in 2019 after playing for 19 seasons.
Roberto Luongo started playing in the NHL with the Florida Panthers.
During the summer of 2006, Luongo was planning to stay in Florida.
Instead, the general manager of the Panthers, Mike Keenan, sent him to the Vancouver Canucks, along with Lukas Krajicek, in return for Todd Bertuzzi, Alex Auld, and Bryan Allen.
Luongo first said that he was sad because he was leaving so suddenly and Vancouver was very far away.
In the 2007 season, Luongo was in Vancouver.
He was voted into the All-Star Game as the starting goaltender.
The Canucks went to the playoffs.
It was Luongo's first time to reach the playoffs.
In one game, against the Dallas Stars, he made around 70 saves, which is very close to breaking records.
On March 4, 2014, a day before the NHL trade deadline, the Canucks traded Luongo along with prospect Steven Anthony to the Florida Panthers for goaltender Jacob Markström and centre Shawn Matthias.
Luongo's salary will still be retained by the Canucks.

The Internet Archive (IA) is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California that has an on-line library and archive of Web and multimedia resources.
The Internet Archive was founded by Brewster Kahle in 1996.
This archive includes "snapshots of the World Wide Web" (archived copies of pages, taken at various points in time), software, movies, books, and audio recordings.
To make the books available on the Internet, they are first placed into special scanning machines by volunteers and employees of the library.
These machines take very high quality pictures of the books' pages, and then images and text of the books are freely available on the Website.
This process is called "digitization".
The old collections of films and sound are digitized in this way too before being made available online.
All of the original books, movies, records and so on are stored in a giant warehouse in California, just like normal libraries store their smaller collections of books or other records.
This collection is called the Open Library and aims to create "one web page for every book ever published."
It was created by computer programmer and activist, Aaron Swartz.
The Archive also purchases new electronic books and loans them out to readers just like any other normal library.
These electronic books can be read by viewing the Website, on the reader's own computer or electronic reading device, and even in special reading areas inside the Archive where the tables have touchscreens and computers built into them.
To ensure the stability and endurance of the archive, The Internet Archive is mirrored at Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt, the only library in the world with a mirror.
The Internet Archive makes the collections available at no cost to researchers, historians, and scholars.
The Internet Archive is a member of the American Library Association and is officially recognized by the State of California as a library.

An archive is a collection of records.
The term is also used for the location in which these records are kept.
Archives are made up of records which have been created during the course of an individual or organization's life.
In general, an archive consists of records which have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation.
Records, which may be in any media, are normally unpublished, unlike books and other publications.
Archives may also be generated by large organisations such as corporations and governments.
Archives are different from libraries in that archives hold records which are unique.
Archives can be described as holding information "by-products" of activities, while libraries hold specifically authored information "products".
The word 'archives' is the correct terminology, whereas 'archive' as a noun or a verb is related to computer science.
A person who works in archives is called an archivist.
The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science.

In Christianity, babies might be baptised when they were young.
When that baby grows to an adult, confirmation is used to make sure that the adult agrees with the promise to be a Christian, made when they were baptised.
Usually in an Anglican church, people can only take their first Holy Communion if they do the confirmation before.
My-Otome (舞-乙HiME, Mai-Otome) is an anime made by the Sunrise Inc.. This is similar to My-HiME, as My-Otome has the same characters, but even they have different personalities.
In the future, people live in planet Earl.
Machines called nanomachines still keep the technology from the past.
Nanomachines are used to give power to Otomes (Girls), who train in a school called Garderobe academy.
The Garderobe academy train Otomes to become Meister Otomes (Dancing Star Girls), who protect their Masters - usually royal people of different kingdoms in Earl.
A woman called Rena Searrs is an Otome, who had lost her powers because of having a baby.
She fights to protect her Master, a king from Windbloom, and hangs her necklace to the daughter of the king, floating her away in a casket at a river.
14 years later, Arika Yumemiya goes to Garderobe to become an Otome like her mother, who she does not know very much about.
She enters the school and when she finds many things which disturb her from being an Otome because of her past, she tries to bear it with her cheerfulness.
This story is about how Arika will begin to understand the meaning of being an Otome and how she will save the world from the legendary Harmonium's power.
My-Otome terms
Otome
Otomes (Girls) are powerful girls of Earl, a future planet.
Otomes are given money for 100 soldiers, because they are as strong as 100 soldiers put together.
They train in a school called Garderobe, and when they graduate, they become Meisters (Dancing Star Girls).
Otomes can only materialise when their master kisses their earring.
When a royal person makes a contract with an otome, he or she becomes the master of the otome.
Otomes can only materialise if the Master kisses them.
The Master has to share a life with his or her otome, so when the otome dies, the Master dies, and when the Master dies, the otome dies.
Five Pillars
Shinsou
The Shinsou is a source who makes the Five Pillars materialise.
There is only one Shinsou.
Nanomachine
A Nanomachine is a machine from the past which puts a Robe inside the otomes' bodies, so that the Robe shows when they materialise.
An earring connects to the Nanomachines.
But the Nanomachine has a weakness to males semen.
This means that if an otome has sex with a male she will not be able to materialise any more, and will stop becoming otomes, because she lost her power.
When a Master kisses an otome's earring, the otome can materialise because the Nanomachine absorbs the heat from the Master's lips, absorbing the Master's power.
This is why a Master must share a life with the otome.
A gem is a jewel which the Master and otome can use to make a contract with each other.
There are two same gems: one for the Master on his or her ring and one for the otome, for her earring.
From then on, the earring on the otomes are kissed by their Masters to materialise.
Stronger Otome's can also kiss there gem to give them permission to Materialise.
Material means an object, and materialise means that a hidden object has shown itself.
In My-Otome, materialising is when the Robe (Combat Suit) inside the Otomes are released, so that they can fight.
Slave Monster
Slave Master
Like a Master, a Slave Master shares a life with its protector.
