Reviewer #2:
In this paper, the authors report a device that can be used to implant and later explant Neuropixels probes in freely moving rats. The device consists of an adaptor, an internal holder and an external chassis. The chassis protects the probe, is attached to the animal's head via adhesive cement and acrylic. The internal part can be explanted at the end of the experiment, allowing the NP probe to be re-used.
The work builds on existing technology in important ways: the authors examined the long-term yield across different brain regions, they more extensively assessed the feasibility of probe reuse compared to previous work, and they evaluated probe performance over a long period of time and also after explanation (measuring the input referred noise of explanted probes in saline). It was also impressive that they used a cohort of 18 rats to evaluate performance of both the animals and the probe, and that they were able to implant up to 3 NP probes at a time. Because of the importance of using freely moving animals in Neuroscience research, and the differences between rats and mice that necessitate modifications on existing technology, this paper is timely and likely to be very useful to a sizeable group of researchers. My suggestions are aimed at furthering the usefulness of this "Tools and Resources" paper for investigators who wish to use this important technology.
At the moment, the majority of the paper seems aimed at evaluating the performance of the device as a function of time, depth and location. This performance evaluation was useful, very carefully done, and makes important points that aid in the interpretation of other papers (such as the unusual stability of recordings in mPFC reported in previous papers). Nonetheless, readers are likely interested in the paper because they wish to make and implant the device in order to benefit from the scholarly analysis done here. The manuscript does contain very helpful technical details, but these are hard to find and are not front-and-center in the main text. For instance, the material from the "Neuropixels implant procedure" is really helpful and would be critical for anyone who wants to use this technique. But at the moment, that information is in a google doc linked from the associated GitHub, a long way from the main manuscript. This information should be in the main manuscript, either in Results or Methods. Also use of consistent nomenclature across documents would help a lot. I believe the part referred to as the "chassis" in the main text is referred to as the "external" on the google doc with the instructions. Similarly, the part referred to as the "internal" in the google doc is called an "internal holder" in the manuscript.
A reader hoping to use the device might also benefit from more information on the grounding procedure. The text in the "Implantation" section of the methods was helpful, but more information would be useful, such as where on the probe the ground wire should be connected and how one should fix the grounding wire (tapping the wire and covering with Metabond?). Also, it would be nice to know how one should protect the grounding wire from being touched by the animal. Figure 6 in the google doc protocol is really helpful and should definitely be in the main manuscript. An additional figure showing how to connect the wire to the ground during the surgery would be quite useful. Finally, are the craniotomy and durotomy necessary for grounding? Could one simply connect the grounding wire to a couple of screws on the skull?

Revelation 5 is the fifth chapter of the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle,[1][2] but the precise identity of the author remains a point of academic debate.[3] This chapter contains the inaugural vision of the lamb on the throne in heaven.[4]
We were supposed to stand up for Willy. You were supposed to see that “Perseus” … the slayer of Medusa was in fact … also you … that you’re also the Pharoah and also the Pharisees; and that dichotemy is how our “self righteous suicide” … it’s not just me; it’s everyone turning a world that think it’s God into … something much closer to that … through the end of “Borg (ARU) Collective Hell.” … AT A, DENY. Try denying “not denying me” and instead seeing your whole and your “nothing” it has become nothing more than a collective denial of self achievement.

Revelation 5:5

Judah Maccabee (or Judas Maccabeus, also spelled Machabeus, or Maccabæus, Hebrew: יהודה המכבי,[1] Yehudah ha-Makabi) was a Jewish priest (kohen) and a son of the priest Mattathias. He led the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire (167–160 BCE).
Origin of “The Hammer”
<span style="font-size:10px;">In the early days of the rebellion, Judah received a surname Maccabee. Several explanations have been put forward for this surname. One suggestion is that the name derives from the Aramaic maqqaba (“makebet” in modern Hebrew), “hammer” or “sledgehammer” (cf. the cognomen of Charles Martel, the 8th century Frankish leader), in recognition of his ferocity in battle. Others believe it is in reference to his weapon of choice.</span>
<span style="font-size:10px;">It is also possible that the name Maccabee is an acronym for the Torah verse Mi kamokha ba’elim Adonai, “Who among the gods is like you, O Adonai?”, his battle-cry to motivate troops. (Exodus 15:11). Rabbi Moshe Schreiber writes that it is an acronym for his father’s name Mattityahu Kohen Ben Yochanan. Some scholars maintain that the name is a shortened form of the Hebrew maqqab-ya ¯hû (from na ¯qab, ‘‘to mark, to designate’’), meaning ‘‘the one designated by Yahweh.’[3]</span>
<span style="font-size:10px;">Mindful of the superiority of Seleucid forces during the first two years of the revolt, Judah’s strategy was to avoid any engagement with their regular army, and to resort to guerrilla warfare, in order to give them a feeling of insecurity. The strategy enabled Judah to win a string of victories. At the battle of Nahal el-Haramiah (wadi haramia), he defeated a small Seleucid force under the command of Apollonius, governor of Samaria, who was killed. Judah took possession of Apollonius’s sword and used it until his death as a symbol of vengeance. After Nahal el-Haramiah, recruits flocked to the Jewish cause.</span>

By this time … by the time you read this I should have successfully deployed the entirety of my source files for the … “#Messenge” onto Rinkeby; this is … something that will probably most likely help me sleep well at night, prior to this I’ve had significant trouble with hosting providers–you can probably find me complaining loudly about places like gitbook.com removing my original source–mostly because their site and their software was “so perfect” for what I was trying to do. They had an interface already built for what I call “inline commenting” not in the programmatic sense, but in the “reddit style” … you could make public ocmments ona specific sentence. Since then … I’ve backed up my site onDVD’s, flash drives, and multiple … “free storage sites.” I’ve begged and pleaded with people to download this information t their computers, and literally distributed it for free to … hundreds of thousands of people–to ensure that the prophesy (and I mean, past history… I really do) that it once was deleted by the “goddess Anat” would not come true.
Also … I’m reiterating, once you download it–it really needs to be put on optical storage; just in case we have a … “sleep now” fulfillment of the EMP (ELE, electromagnetic pulse … threatens the whole of our “internet” … the sum of the non-Asimovian “foundation” of all our knowledge … and “lack of opinion” … also your “e-h-class-blockchain”) of … “the day the Earth stood still” which is Genesis 2:21; literally noted in pre-succewssion below in … moooooo-ve now, we are here.

I’ve received “communications” from the place I call … in “how I think about things” … the Good Developer Heaven" basically saying not to worry about it, they have it – copied or whatever. My point is that we don’t have it, or we didn’t have it here … for sure … and we certainly don’t have a “conversation about it” and that’s the most important thing, that’s what changes the world.
I’ve sent message after message saying you were and still are possessed by something “deveilish” … that you were silent for no reason, specifically no reason so bad that it’s really to fuck you out of becoming who you were born to be; which is the “Ancients come again.” This is the crux of my problem, and yours too–that we are here thinking we have something … like “Heaven” when in fact you have Heaven itself causing the cataclysm on purpose–this loss of … “Acts.” Were you normal, were you not in two places, were you … free to see what you are losing and what the Universe could be gaining … you would not be silent. Whether or not you understand or believe it, you are being controlled, possessed by the idea that you’ve won; and you haven’t … you’ve lost everything in my eyes and in the reality of the future … this very moment, today.
You need to see that; you are being stripped of something, and it’s not the Emperror, or your clothing–it’s your birthright; and I’m trying effortlessly and tiredallessly … to “help you stand up.”

# GEOCITIES
We've gone through "echelons of change" in our social interaction on the internet ... over the years I've been here. I've often "categorized" these epochs by the places that we'd "congregate" ... in my life, AOL, IRC ... "friendster" and Facebook are good examples; though there's a "city in the sky" microcosm "... or something" in the series of companies that offered "free web hosting." That's sort of what it takes to "have a voice" on the internet in these days; in a place where we once thought "bloggers were the next big thing" and Blogger.com ... and wordpress--those kinds of sites are all but dead, and medium.com is charging a "viewerbase" which is almost a sad joke. The news is all fake and the stories we see, the world we see--I don't have much faith that any of it is real beyond ... as far as my nose--to be honest.
The series started with Geocities; and that's gone, something like my "topological map" of friends and friends of friends probably would have oozed out of something like Blogger or "Tumblr" though I don't see anyone "reblogging" or "retumbling" or whatever ... anything I find all that interesting. Twitter's gotten more exciting for me lately--but that's just because I've come to terms with the fact athat the whole thing is about "short sex jokes" and whatever the funny star-of-the-day "caught outside." The programming world sort of revolves around Github these days, and that's the current "go to" for anyone's free web hosting; there are some alternatives, but ... not really.
LinkedIn and Facebook both tried ... "making content production platforms" but I just used them to copy things I had in other places, and they didn't "update" or source from anywhere else ... so that just becomes a pain in the ass. I don't think those platforms ... I mean LinkedIn still has it--but I don't think Facebook's still exists. While I'm on that, they had this wonderful "Graph Search" thing, and basically hid it from the world so ... you woulnd't complain about all the information you have available for the world to see--kind of makes me a little sick, knhowing they built something and have the functionality to let me see "who all my friends are, and friends of friends in a certain city when I'm there" ... and it's just not available for me or you to use because ... because you don't understand "privacy" and "the internet" and "using broken software for no reason" ... other than satisfying ... nobody really.
There's "Wix" too, and that's got a little "fire theme" ... and that's cool, but nobody really uses it--and the real point is to help people "congregate" and "share ideas" ... not just to get you to actually say anything at all in a public space, where it might help us "drive away the night" and stop pretending it's just fine and dandy that everyone isn't working, locked away in their houses or ... scared to go to the ... Walgreens.
Obviously there's the Slashdot's and digg's and reddit's--though ... when I talk in places like "/r/conspiracy" it just becomes so sorely obvious that you ... have no desire at all to be real or honest or ... do anything but pretend this place matters to you--when in fact it's probably the last thing on your list of things to give a fuck about. Just saying, the lack of response I see; and the ... really negative interaction I have now in person--it's a bad sign for ... whatever. If you don't want to be here; if you're somewhere else and you think this place isn't important--honestly you should really just go away, I'm not sure what your options are, but I have none but to sit here and bitch at you that if you gave "two fucks" about this world you'd be screaming at the top of your lungs, just like me.
I don't think you are the people I grew up with, and I don't think you belong here or care at all about this world or the future here--and I think that's obvious. Me going away isn't going to chyange it--and it's not going to happen--as far as I'm concerned I'm the only person "not invading my birth planet" ... from some otherworldly and ... honestly horrendously immoral place. Understand, if you were here--if you were "people born here" with no ... "other thing or other place" to take your mind off just how UnAmerican and inhumane everything going on here is ... you would be doing something else... anything but ... "this."<br />
Consider IT sealwed; by this words, by this place–by the continuation of this abomination. Try here, try now, try fast–your everything, your dreams and hidden and secret garbage you covet–all depends on our next few years.
qui sis tam pulcher<br /> quasi osculans quod non juve<br /> nemo umquam adhuc erit
HE speaks words through me, and I understand. He takes a picture; he says “uncuff links” … a double entente to you–like a fashion statement; but I see and I reply; “or we are suiting up” and it’s not a joke about “heart’s desire” …
וְשַׂמְתֶּ×Ö™ ×ֶת־דְּבָרַ֣י ×ֵ֔לֶּה עַל־לְבַבְכֶ֖×
I continue; it’s a message about “getting grey’s” and the breath of God landing from the air before my Face in a “Extended Stay America” in Tampa … directly to my naked and bare heart. I mean to say, war; understand–to me this is the culmination of Holy War on bars and jails and the “illuminati prison camps” I last heard him say “would not pepper the galaxy.”

Just in case my voice happens to be “so <span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive;">unclear</span>;” the Tribe of Judah in Revelation 5:5 is very clearly one in the same with that of Judas Maccabeus; that ties of course to the “every J is me” thing–from Seuss and Suez to “turn around/not: sad” and … “kissing to be kissed.” Judah Maccabee is the last scion; here I call myself the “last human” and it sure does feel like I’m the last one grounded; the last one that is truly “one” as in … one person–alone here, fighting against … a monster that thinks it’s “one” is anything but “the end.”
It’s sort of a trick reference, there’s also a Judean tribe in the 12 Tribes of Israel; I mean, it’s one of those “key things” things that only I can bring to you and be sure of–at least, until you too re sure, which I’m sure you are here–only, you don’t care at all what it means to be the “one” fighting for life … in a place where the histry here is … upon conclusion of the Maccabein revolt; nothing persists, and we somehow traverse bacvk to a time before we knew the Roman people were … “our us” or “our all” or … see as the AH of AN and Allol and Allah and the Elohim; t’was for you, all for you. Until of course, it was all of you, except me, against me, for no reason other than theives in the den of Daniel, animals … the “things” of the Devarim of course … “in the wilderness, he called us things…” and in Genesis, clear as day God seconds, Adam names “dem” in 2:20 … “cattle” [prodding you here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXCA5-KHknY), Baphomet thirds … “baaaa” you are sheep.

This is a list of last scions or individuals who were the last member of a ruling house, or other prominent family, where heredity is the prime form of inheritance. This may be the last person to rule a realm, sometimes leading to a political crisis, or a change in government; other times power has already passed from the patrilineal family, leaving it in a less important position when it reaches its extinction.
The Hasmonean dynasty[4] (/ËŒhæzməˈniËÉ™n/ (audio); Hebrew: חַשְ××ž×•Ö¹× Ö·Ö¼×Ö´×™×, Ḥašmona’Ä«m) was a ruling dynasty of Judea and surrounding regions during classical antiquity. Between c. 140 and c. 116 BCE the dynasty ruled Judea semi-autonomously from the Seleucids. From 110 BCE, with the Seleucid Empire disintegrating, the dynasty became fully independent, expanded into the neighbouring regions of Samaria, Galilee, Iturea, Perea, and Idumea, and took the title “basileus”. Some modern scholars refer to this period as an independent kingdom of Israel.[5]
The dynasty was established under the leadership of Simon Thassi, two decades after his brother Judas Maccabeus (יהודה המכבי Yehudah HaMakabi) defeated the Seleucid army during the Maccabean Revolt. According to 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, and the first book of The Jewish War by Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (37 CE–c. 100),[6] Antiochus IV moved to assert strict control over the Seleucid satrapy of Coele Syria and Phoenicia[7] after his successful invasion of Ptolemaic Egypt was turned back by the intervention of the Roman Republic.[8][9] He sacked Jerusalem and its Temple, suppressing Jewish and Samaritan religious and cultural observances,[7][10] and imposed Hellenistic practices.[10] The ensuing revolt by the Jews (167 BCE) began a period of Jewish independence potentiated by the steady collapse of the Seleucid Empire under attacks from the rising powers of the Roman Republic and the Parthian Empire.
The author of the First Book of Maccabees regarded the Maccabean revolt as a rising of pious Jews against the Seleucid king who had tried to eradicate their religion and against the Jews who supported him. The author of the Second Book of Maccabees presented the conflict as a struggle between “Judaism” and “Hellenism”, words that he was the first to use.[28] Modern scholarship tends to the second view.
After five years of war and raids, Judah sought an alliance with the Roman Republic to remove the Greeks: “In the year 161 BCE he sent Eupolemus the son of Johanan and Jason the son of Eleazar, ‘to make a league of amity and confederacy with the Romans.’”[45]

The Clan Bruce ruled Scotland from 1306 to 1371. Its last royal member was King David II (1324–1371), upon whose death without issue the throne passed to his nephew Robert Stewart. The Clan continues today through other lines that do not have patrilineal royal ancestry, although the current clan chief, Andrew Bruce, 11th Earl of Elgin, is descended from King Robert Bruce in the female line.
Pharisee and Sadducee factions … this his here; thisis now.
Kingdom at its greatest extent under Salome Alexandra
It is difficult to state at what time the Pharisees, as a party, arose. Josephus first mentions them in connection with Jonathan, the successor of Judas Maccabeus (“Ant.” xiii. 5, § 9). One of the factors that distinguished the Pharisees from other groups prior to the destruction of the Temple was their belief that all Jews had to observe the purity laws (which applied to the Temple service) outside the Temple. The major difference, however, was the continued adherence of the Pharisees to the laws and traditions of the Jewish people in the face of assimilation. As Josephus noted, the Pharisees were considered the most expert and accurate expositors of Jewish law.
During the Hasmonean period, the Sadducees and Pharisees functioned primarily as political parties. Although the Pharisees had opposed the wars of expansion of the Hasmoneans and the forced conversions of the Idumeans, the political rift between them became wider when Pharisees demanded that the Hasmonean king Alexander Jannaeus choose between being king and being High Priest. In response, the king openly sided with the Sadducees by adopting their rites in the Temple. His actions caused a riot in the Temple and led to a brief civil war that ended with a bloody repression of the Pharisees, although at his deathbed the king called for a reconciliation between the two parties. Alexander was succeeded by his widow, Salome Alexandra, whose brother was Shimon ben Shetach, a leading Pharisee. Upon her death her elder son, Hyrcanus, sought Pharisee support, and her younger son, Aristobulus, sought the support of the Sadducees. The conflict between Hyrcanus and Aristobulus culminated in a civil war that ended when the Roman general Pompey captured Jerusalem in 63 BCE and inaugurated the Roman period of Jewish history.
Josephus attests that Salome Alexandra was very favourably inclined toward the Pharisees and that their political influence grew tremendously under her reign, especially in the institution known as the Sanhedrin. Later texts such as the Mishnah and the Talmud record a host of rulings ascribed to the Pharisees concerning sacrifices and other ritual practices in the Temple, torts, criminal law, and governance. The influence of the Pharisees over the lives of the common people remained strong, and their rulings on Jewish law were deemed authoritative by many. Although these texts were written long after these periods, many scholars believe that they are a fairly reliable account of history during the Second Temple era.

The little hack code I used doesa in fact work and produce a contract on the chain, for the first few small tests I did. These needs to be “mined” and that involves some cryptographic … stuff … called “proof of work” that I don’t really understand; but it means there’s a delay, and a bigger delay because there’s “more data.” I do of course have a special afinity for this particular “file” it’s the one where I basically “added” (in my mind) some Bible’s words preceding Revelation 1:1 … to the actual “Bible.” The word in question, of coruse is “dox<s>ic</s>ology.” I think you can send… actual Ethereum there.

this headrest was the pedestal of the statue I would become, the corset of my imaginary essence.
Barthes uses language poetically; his statements are layered with symbolic meaning.
He explains that portrait photographers of the 1800s used a device to help people hold still for the long exposure of the photograph. It involved a headrest, which being behind the head, was invisible to the camera.
Metaphorically, Barthes stands upon this antique headrest now as if it were a pedestal, and he makes himself into a statue on it as he poses for a photograph.
This turning of himself into a statue confines and immobilizes him, in a sense, like a corset would.

She was always sent for when the women quarrelled over their tubs and always succeeded in making peace.
Her role seems to be that of a head maid in some sort of women's organization. It probably has some religious affiliation as most of Joyce's works relate to religion

Maria agreed with him and favoured him with demure nods and hems. He was very nice with her, and when she was getting out at the Canal Bridge she thanked him and bowed, and he bowed to her and raised his hat and smiled agreeably, and while she was going up along the terrace, bending her tiny head under the rain, she thought how easy it was to know a gentleman even when he has a drop taken.
I came back to read this passage again when I realized that the cake was lost possibly in the tram. At the moment, Maria's emotions did not seem to the overflowing. We mainly see their actions--"bowed", "raised his hat", "bending her tiny head", etc.--and the only internal thought we have is at the end when Maria reflects "how easy it was to know a gentleman even when he has a drop taken." I wonder whether the reason why Maria was so shocked by the stranger gentleman's demeanor is that she is not used to people treating her so nicely.
-
Then she took off her working skirt and her house-boots and laid her best skirt out on the bed and her tiny dress-boots beside the foot of the bed. She changed her blouse too
The methodical listing of these actions seem to mirror what is going through Maria's head. She is very meticulous about what she does and gets fixated on the details of mindless tasks.

SHE sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne. She was tired.
It is the first time we see a third-person narrative in this book, and the narration style is somewhat similar to that of Mansfield: describing the main character but not directly pointing out whom she is

Maybe the narrator sees some truth in what Cotter was saying about Father Flynn and is either trying to confront that or brush it off.

But no. When we rose and went up to the head of the bed I saw that he was not smiling. There he lay, solemn and copious, vested as for the altar, his large hands loosely retaining a chalice. His face was very truculent, grey and massive, with black cavernous nostrils and circled by a scanty white fur. There was a heavy odour in the room—the flowers.
Very interesting that the narrator has a preconceived notion of the priest smiling but ends up seeing a rather glum depiction of the body.
I am fortunate enough to not have had to deal with this before (besides when I was too young to really understand the gravity of a funeral) so I don't know if this is something many people experience or if this is something the author included to make the priest seem more insidious in nature.
I do know that many cultures consider funerals a celebration of life and many people in the U.S. also find them beautiful so this feels rather ominous to me (especially the description of smelly flowers!).

Stay-at-home orders (SAHOs) have been implemented in most U.S. states to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. This paper quantifies the short-run impact of these containment policies on the supply of and demand for child care. The child care market may be particularly vulnerable to a SAHO-type policy shock, given that many providers are liquidity-constrained. Using plausibly exogenous variation from the staggered adoption of SAHOs across states, we find that online job postings for early care and education teachers declined by 13% after enactment. This effect is driven exclusively by private-sector services. Indeed, hiring by public programs like Head Start and pre-kindergarten has not been influenced by SAHOs. In addition, we find little evidence that child care search behavior among households has been altered. Because forced supply-side changes appear to be at play, our results suggest that households may not be well-equipped to insure against the rapid transition to the production of child care. We discuss the implications of these results for child development and parental employment decisions.

When a TCP packet carrying some of those bytes is lost on the network path, it creates a gap in the stream and TCP needs to fill it by resending the affected packet when the loss is detected. While doing so, none of the successfully delivered bytes that follow the lost ones can be delivered to the application, even if they were not themselves lost and belong to a completely independent HTTP request. So they end up getting unnecessarily delayed as TCP cannot know whether the application would be able to process them without the missing bits. This problem is known as “head-of-line blocking”.

What classifies something as being a creation? When are we allowed to take ownership of something we make? Are true "creations" only composed from raw materials? Or is it the idea and design decisions regardless of the source of materials which makes something a "new" creation? These are the thoughts which ran through my head after watching Kirby Ferguson's TED talk on "remixing."
I had the same thoughts as I watched the Kirby Ferguson video as well.

seized her programme, scribbled something; Meg passed him on to Leila. “May I have the pleasure?” He ducked and smiled. There came a dark man wearing an eyeglass, then cousin Laurie with a friend, and Laura with a little freckled fellow whose tie was crooked. Then quite an old man—fat, with a big bald patch on his head—took her programme and murmured, “Let me see, let me see!” And he was a long time comparing his programme, which looked black with names,
I looked up this custom because I'd never heard of it before and apparently a "dance card" allows ball guests to write down the names of all the people they'll dance with before the ball has begun. I guess it ensures that people get to mingle more and finding a partner is easier.
-
She leaned against the wall, tapping with her foot, pulling up her gloves and trying to smile. But deep inside her a little girl threw her pinafore over her head and sobbed.
I find it admirable that Leila is able to hide her emotions and still put on a happy face at the ball. I think it shows that even though Leila and the old man shared such a depressing conversation, she still wants to make the most of her evening and enjoy herself at her first ball. Though she may be introverted and nervous, she still understands the importance of living in the present.

it was his delight to run into the garden after a shower of rain and shake the rose-bush over him. Isabel was that rose-bush, petal-soft, sparkling and cool. And he was still that little boy. But there was no running into the garden now, no laughing and shaking.
Would someone mind elucidating this? I'm afraid the comparison between Isabel and the rose-bush goes over my head. What exactly is he implying about her character?

it was the Burnells’ cat Florrie, sitting on the gatepost, far too early as usual, looking for their milk-girl. When she saw the old sheep-dog she sprang up quickly, arched her back, drew in her tabby head, and seemed to give a little fastidious shiver. “Ugh! What a coarse, revolting creature!” said Florrie.
It's unclear here because of the word choice whether the cat is really anthropomorphized since she appears to speak or if it is as though she is speaking/thinking human-like thoughts ("SEEMED to give a... shiver").

“Egg and—” Mrs. Sheridan held the envelope away from her. “It looks like mice. It can’t be mice, can it?”

What nice eyes he had, small, but such a dark blue! And now she looked at the others, they were smiling too. “Cheer up, we won’t bite,” their smile seemed to say. How very nice workmen were! And what a beautiful morning!
I really like how 3rd person narration has been used here to peek inside Laura's head -- it makes for a better understanding of her internal world and definitely endears her to the readers already.

The meta charset information must also be the first child of the <head> tag. The reason this tag must be first is to avoid re-interpreting content that was added before the meta charset tag.
But what if another tag also specified that it had to be the first child "because ..."? Maybe that hasn't happened yet, but it could and then you'd have to decide which one truly was more important to put first? (Hopefully/probably it wouldn't even matter that much.)

HMGA2 has been associated with variation in height, craniofacial distances, and primary tooth eruption in humans (18, 19)
Fatemifar et al. (2013) showed that HMGA2 is associated with craniofacial features, such as the width of the eye region, the width of the lower part of the nose, and the height of the mid-brow prominence.
Ligon et al. (2005) had previously reported an 8-year-old boy with a shortened HMGA2 gene that exhibited widely-spaced eyes, a large head circumference, and premature dentition.

Young Goodman Brown YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN came forth at sunset, into the street of Salem village, but put his head back, after crossing the threshold, to exchange a parting kiss with his young wife. And Faith, as the wife was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap, while she called to Goodman Brown. "Dearest heart," whispered she, softly and rather sadly, when her lips were close to his ear, "pr'y thee, put off your journey until sunrise, and sleep in your own bed to-night. A lone woman is troubled with such dreams and such thoughts, that she's afeard of herself, sometimes. Pray, tarry with me this night, dear husband, of all nights in the year!" "My love and my Faith," replied young Goodman Brown, "of all nights in the year, this one night must I tarry away from thee. My journey, as thou callest it, forth and back again, must needs be done 'twixt now and sunrise. What, my sweet, pretty wife, dost thou doubt me already, and we but three months married!" "Then God bless you!" said Faith, with the pink ribbons, "and may you find all well, when you come back." "Amen!" cried Goodman Brown. "Say thy prayers, dear Faith, and go to bed at dusk, and

This is so true. When we are wanting students to really learn something, they have to have ownership of the information and how they are working with the information. Additionally, when we start wondering and questioning, the creative juices begin flowing. At first, it is difficult for the students to ask questions, if they've been taught to only pay attention to what is in the teacher's head, then they aren't asking questions, it's like they are waiting on you to tell them. The safer the classroom climate, the safer it is to share and feel that your voice is valued, therefore I CAN ask questions and wonder about things, and won't seem stupid.

I agree that the number one thing as a teacher that I must do is build relationships. Without a child's heart, you will never have their head. Education has evolved. Students have changed. Meet students where they are.

So my conceptualization of “the heavens” and Heaven … it’s changed quite a bit in the last year or so. I’ve come to believe … through the telling and retelling of this story of “dsiconvering it” … that we are actually living inside some kind of graphene or carbon nanotube structure (probably with a DNA/RNA like … secondary structure), literally submerged inside something like pools or compression chambers of liquid gas–like oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. It’s kind of like … the negative connotation of “lakes” in Kaleb’s “don’t be the lake” turned upsidown on it’s head–obviously in the original … vision you would imagine fresh water lakes were something like “milk” … (as opposed to meat) … the stuff of life and birth. You can see how those gases would deliver “liquid cooling” like we’d need for super fast Cray and Sun super compvters … and also stored energy for … things like propulsion as well as the creation of “human life habitable environments.” I’d like to [say I came up with the whole thing miraculously and solo (it’s Monday, btw), like Newton invented gravity and Einstein … the blackhole. what came first … the chicken or the egg? the road or the maize? … is theQ: “can we it ourselves to Acts?” On and on, the circle of Ourorobus turns; who then, came first … Adam or Abraham? Cain or Abel? Adam past Lincoln or … Link of Zelda? And the Legend; marred and mired toto end by spelling errors and bad grammar. round and round we go … truly the question here is “do you think you, yourselves, are civilized?” and my answer … the less you think that, the more civilzed you are. this place is sick, it needs some “medicine.” What is a Gremlar? What does pillows and sheets have to do with Q&A and … and Room 101? Does “dirty pillows” win the award and accolades for the most informative chosen name? Does Yehuda Berg? Would anyone object to calling it “O’riordian Way” … is it Monceres or are we already wondering if Betheljoos must already have some kind of connection to Orion? Did Dolores know the whole time? The whole fucking time? I satyed up practically all night tonight … almost stone cold sober … to finish writing this before our final “Northeasterer.” THE **MONO**LOGUE **C**ONTINUES, **UNDERSTAND ME**. It doesn’t take much “thought” to see these star charts–our Astrological road maps to ‘wisdom of the Ancients’ might actually be something closer to road maps than I could have previously fathomed–let alone imagined. I’m staring at “Monoceros” and seeing it’s definately connected to “the kissing disease” and to Eros and to Cupid–and seeing … this one not for the first time that character linked to Orion and to the “Speare” of Sagittarius. I’ve commented … ‘on the show in my head’ that it seems the entirety of the Milky Way might be something like our world … it could be a microcosmic map to something much larger–it could be the seed of “galaxies” in this place that might very well be the “thing” that connects the end and the beginning; rather than the beginning and the end as I once … commented was the original “glyph” i read in the letter “H.” Today though, this is all “sci-fi conjecture” we have a very real problem–one that we aren’t dealing with well, and it’s a hidden sickness that’s turned the whole of the world to seeing my “nightmare of isolation.” It’s no accident that most of European and South American culture … “kisses” friends and family “on greeting” … hello, we today are shunning ‘social contact’ … a think that’s responsible for sharing antibodies and using social structure to naturally battle outbreaks of diseases … exactly like this “Sun virus” today. I imagine it’s no accident I’m writing this “Norther” about “no Passover” and … “no east from here” and hoping you understand that means something–it means we’ve got stop lying, and stop pretending this place doesn’t matter. This place matters, this is the source of Heaven, and the future, and … whatever it is that you apparently think you “covet in secret” and … has allowed you to stand by idylly … and do nothing as the fabric of our social structure simply “disappears.” That’s civilization, society, the rule of law and order – “it’s kissing” – and those aren’t the only things we are apparently “losing in the fire.” I’ve previously written and spoken numerous times about DNA storag e; it’s benefits and … the slow assimilation of this clearly “Heavenly” technology … which I saw in the most ironic of tones–looking around clearly you see this place is the hearth of creation, and “biology” itself is tantamount to absolute and unequivocal proof that Heaven itself does indeed come from something almost exactly like this rock, right down to graphene and tertiary logic and molecular storage–of course I didn’t awlays “think” or know that fact, but upon inspection and with the eye’s aid, it’s very–I mean very–obvious/clear. [LOOK MA … NEWS. IT’S REALLY ACTUAL NEWSWORTHY NEWS] I’ve previously also written about “the game” (for the non goyim among us, game-yah-him on the Epic of Gilgamesh and its historical connection to the story of the flood and Noah’s ark… as it was in the days of…) of the colonization of the red planet Mars; as well as the map that does very much exist in our “SOL” and it’s orbiting simulated rocks… here taking this one step further and suggesting that our “military key way from wall” (and/or see the M and the IL … the IT the CIA and the IR (what a poet I am)) … to assume that things like the “Mono/c/Eros” constellation might very well “overlay in a metalcosmic way” over say, the link between Beetlejuice and RIGELA … and that something like the Crab Nebula might very well become … something like Andromeda is not beyond the imagination or the fathom-ability of our new “raelity.” Along those same lines, the “kissing disease” and it’s link to the Unicycle of “verses” about Versailles in a Tale of Two Heavens … begin to suggest the Fire of Saint Anthony is nearly fully aflame–even if it is still those “invisible flames” of not speaking and … quenching our desire to “get a word or two in” might just … douse the whole thing in Holy Water. Hi Kate. :) I mean, Stillwater, and “still… water.” The point here, that we might be in the place where Yosef Stalin’s middle name and the “o no” of … that’s a failsafe that might very well use time travel to wipe out the … post Orion/Eros star … “O’riordan”'s which only turned from Roads leaning towards abandoning Rome to … rivers of magical anti-matter autopropulsion (re-y-rios) … in the past few months … story. Of course the “Naqueducts” as I’ve come to expand the NT appreviation to become … after of course my personal (for obvious reasons, right?) distaste for things like “Easter” and Crucifixion … having anything at all do with a religion or a society of morality or “truth.” That’s “kissing the ‘o no’” which … heralds from “ME-V-AT-HI to MISSISSIPPI and CONNETICUT and KANSAS and IOWA.” … in Florida today, Flux Capacitor engaged; and literally staring at Netflix and … Pauline; **wondering.**x Before …or maybe during or after or even up until … just this past day … we might have had another kind of military microcosm; or perhaps your truth, connecting the Hebrew for Heaven, which is “shamayim” … for “fiery waters” or “really hot girls” or … maybe Heaven existed on nuclear “u-boats” puttering around the Dark Side of the Moon or maybe even just our dark Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic … oh sea; do sea the oceans here have something about Pa linking to “see if I see the C” missing from the Indian–the one ocean standing out here without that particular letter, or perhaps “concept.” Stargate turned me on to the idea of a subterrainian similar “bunker like” facility in the Arctic; and you can probably also see how that’s something like an ocean or a wilderness … another place we wouldn’t necessarily be looking – or noticing these are “disaster plan” style locations for something like a network of computers … something like the mesh-net that might very well be in orbit around the Earth … in that thing that sets “the sky’s the limit” as yet another “special place” in the hearts of those that … want to survive the original problem: being stuck in one place, on one tiny little planet succeptible to self destruction or an asteroid or … a collision of galaxies or … who knows–it could just be an eternity with not enough oil to reach gravitational escape velocity (keep burning it all!!!) and roads so backwards and archaic when I mention they should have “electrical power to inductively charge my Tesla” someone actually overheard me and had the nerve to call me a “genius.” Which of course I am; I definately am that. What I am describing is something like … well, it’s basically WarGames meets Battleship … meets the very real connection between Vietnam and NamCo and Pac-Man, and the reason this “book” has this particular name–connection the Revolution of Nero’s Symphony … to … I mean, I called it “Pax Abraxis” here–but it’s really got very little to do with Jupiter Ascending and much more to do with … the rest of the world doing something other than descending far and fast into the central syllable of Jupiter. It … doesn’t take a genius to point out or see Pac-Man is simply missing the “SE” of … turn around this southeast miserable spectacle of immorality and nearly “instantly” we see “space” and … a world that doesn’t have to guess whether or not this is aqua-rious business or not. Who I am is … this guy and that Wikipedia page and it’s log of touches and changes is probably almost if not mroe important that my Facebook page [if you achem, follow me I’ll be sure to send a friend request] … though that’s best way to get in contact with me; and if anyone was actually interested in “working on the Sword/Round Table” of Arthur … with “Arthor” you’d probably find eventually it’s that communication and that "assistance’ that turns out to be way more fruitful and … “Sliding Doors” and “Go” and … nothing compares to the change wrought by seeing … what you truly are, having your mind opened to the “hive’s nasty side” … as the new American Standard for “X-Caliber” and “what’s liberty worth, anyway?” glooms out from behind the dark clouds of Kish’s night time “it’s not a right, nor a rite” what we are looking at, I’ve always called “pantomiming the end of time” … it could be that, we could be “not going back.” THE DEVLIN ME … “IS THE DEVIL IN YOU, OR ARE YOU IN IT?” T’was cues like “and your husband wants to be a girl” … and the sincerely overgrown thread of “homosexuality” in this story … that lead me to ascertain that it was “many years in Heaven” and many (fewer) years “as not just one person” that probably would make those things almost … certain to come true. It is true, today; I think it probably still would be fun to be a girl for a day; or walking through a special gate into a special “room” in my holodeck dreams–it’s that kind of understanding that gleans light into … how it is that we might, in that same place and same circumstances become "more open to things like ‘violence’ that we today, still here in this place do abhor–and very well should. Gnosis … maybe something like instant enlightenment … I think that’s the fun stuff that heaven .,., should be alla bout; and frankly I’m sick and tired of having to dream about it, and not start playing with it here and now. Seeing my old “win the sun dance” sticker my computer … and hearing Taylor sing about “you’re never gonna dance with me” and Brit too … connect it to “drinking from the Devil’s cup” and the real “stuff of the pool of Bethesda” … it’s a Holy thing; a … kind of like sparring with a sex partner; in my mind anyway–like experiencing whatever it is that girls call “multiple orgasms” if there ever was such a thing before we could … you know, like MCO … or Azriel’s “forklift moment” wherever I was between Scottsdale and New Mexico; you can see I … see we have it. Or … something like it … and instead of those things, instead of bliss and … making more fun more exciting and more … intelligent message … We're stuck here talking about violence, and "will we ever have school again" not because of a song about "out for summer" or "blown to pieces" but because you're really zombies--you don't talk, you don't seem to think this place is important; and you're wrong everywhere is important, and if you leave one stone unturned; or ignore the pain and suffering of ... one small place ... it festers and grows and really proves you don't deserve the "sun dance" or the ability to decide "right and wrong" anywhere, really ever--in your current state. See that, see this sickness needs to change; and I do mean your response to the "Corona Virus" as much as I mean your response to "Sandy Hook" and ... well, it must all be my fault, are you fucking retarded? Just to "put it out there" ... I'm not wandering the cold streets looking for warm water, or somewhere "main eventish" to swim or hang out all day--I'm looking for a girl that wants to go skinny dipping with me ... on like, call it "Universal TV ..." Just once, or ... I mean the book says twice, but I'll do it first alone, just to make sure it's safe. … the jaya-jaya … EARTHENE, THEY HAVE NEWS … the Heavenues of our heroads; heroes and yes, we the Terrans; we can do that. I mean be heroes, I hope you click on my links and really get the “gist” of what it means to read things with your eyes and type them with your hands; and how that differs from “the thing” I’m trying to build here, which is a … “I know kung fu” for … pretty much everything … that’s a plug in … into your head (don’t drop out, but tune in) … to pretty much “know everything” so long as you understand that really does mean know everything … someone or some “other thing” wnats you to know and believe. I think we know … or we should that we build “truth tables” … as in some system that allows for truth to be verified and lies to be verified and the large tertiary “opinion” in between to be gauged and colored (my word for … weighting of value) … individually. This is the “crux” of the whole of the system of … “it’s not voting, but information about what we’re voting about” which in other circles would be “colored as propaganda” and that’s basically what it is–it’s what I called it … before and now. That’s not to turn you off from it–on the contrary it’s to help you get excited about being involved in it–even if it’s oinly in some “group-think” or (ARCHIVE: arxiv.org) passive … I don’t read the papers, but I look at statistics, and I know how to guage whether or not … some group is “interested” or … acting appropriately. You’re not, none of you are acting appropriately here and now. You want to blame me–or torture me–or worse, torture yourselves by thinking … yoiu have something you don’t; and perhaps blame … anything other than not acting (its a verb, it means “literally doing something” not “prewtending” in this context) and reading and writing … conversing. That’s the thing that ends school shootings and world hunger–which we should be able to do nearly instantly–it’s just a matter of … time and chance … or how we want to proceed; and whether or not you want to proceed at all, and I mean if you dont want to end world hunger, you don’t want to proceed with “living.” Hear me; I’m roaring … these things are not optional. Your survival here; that’s optional. Mine is not. Sorry; b1ow me. There is something very wrong here–I’ve been thrust into the center of it … I see it and I’ve written about it, tried as hard as I possibly could to “see you in the best light possible” to find your excuses and to find real honest solutions … with the amazing amount of hidden secrets that I’ve been shown–handed–given for no reason at all … or so it appears today. Instead of fun things, and “safe things” and … “helping others things” you appear to be focused on “negative things” like how bad can you be, and how much … sickness can you spread–I spent the last several years fighting a war against “attrition” and "charrming (in the most negative sense) … mind control and lies and secrets and I’m surrounded by a group of people, everyone I see everywhere that’s become almost convinced that they can do pretty much whatever they want–and they’re dead wrong. This place is sick–this world is disgusting; it always was so, but we didn’t always know it and that… that makes a big difference. The children here–“gen Z” appears to have been born in tandem, in two places; here and there; and that’s an interesting observation and a guess, and it ties to their name and how they interacat with me specifically. I can tell you categorically I wasn’t and … many in my generation probably were not. It’s Earthene; the three sets of “E” that actually to me, in special code stand for “angels” over the coarse of time that is our … lifetime here in this place I’ve called and still believe is something like the “syslog of Heaven” in newage geek-speak … to the sages and the Ages, that’s the Rock of Ages; and it’s the thing that comes before and after Heaven, all the time; over and over … in whatever story or place Heaven “does that.” Heaven of course has a similar connotation in mythology and religion, the thing that travels through or “pervades” or makes “time itself” obsolete. Or so they think, or whatever; I don’t understand much of what it’s like to be … “timeless” or a tyemporal and I dont think that far ahead when I play chess; but I’ve got the help of God, and he’s on my side … believe that, receive that. I can tell you categorically that … the first time I was here; and “in the beginning of this place” the generation before me was not … was not at all born in two places; or even “ascended” at the same time as Generation X … the one that I … am sure is marked as the crossroads and the “sweet spot” for a good reason. I have … “markers” in my memory and in my history, the phrase “my parents love(d) you” … spoken to me by numerous people at my high school, in this sort of … “mechanical and methodical way” to explain that of course, they had faith in Jesus Chrsit and they were upset that they weren’t ascended … at the same time as their children; I imagine they felt “unsaved … by me” and … their kids probably didn’t … know how upset I must have been, not to have been around to explain. Here it’s clear that the reason … the reason for this place and the entirety of our timeline and our wonderful “crash course” in understanding sandbox computing and the building of Heaven is just that; that before us there was a world mired in “might and magic” and they believed … incantations and sorcerers and witches … those were things they needed–that’s the stuff of the beginning of salvation, in truth. Of course it’s the hidden part, before hidden part about “salvaging” it’s the “non-civilization” that was … destroyed–I think in the book we say “from the ashes of Edom.” I watched my generation lead the way; we were the pivot point, the difference between “cell phones and instant messaging” and that was a big deal back then; when there was no SMS or texting and there were no keyboards on your phone; it was a big deal to know how to type, and a big deal to know how to write … before that. dot dot dot I write to you … every day I do it; with an informal style; I am writing to friends, in a way that you should understand is literally the thing that I call “praying” … I am praying to you, and hoping you understand I don’t believe in prayer, but I do believe in the power of this group, I believe in the power of humanity, and I believe that we should literally force the entirety of everthing to instantly become “humane” in this place where I believe Heaven itself and “uncivilization in the sky” and the prospect of “immortality” has created a disgusting monster that bleieves that thing to be “guaranteed” and … their “right” and to look at you today, I am very sure none of you have that right, guaranteed–none of you. You look at me here; and honestly to tell me to uhh, “El Shaddai” with the purpose of saving me from the torture you see mimmicked or pantamimed; that mightr be a holy thing, if that’s what you said and meant–i don’t see it often though, most of the time … “should I though?” … has some other (it’s shaddai, "should die or…’) sort of sick double entendre; double speak meaning. You should learn here–you are children and you are weak and you are blind and you are wrong; and when you know those things … you should “seek something more.” Kennedy spoke decades ago about the world being invaded; something coming from the sky, a “vast conspiracy that took the minds of our people right out from under us” … he spoke about it’s difference from the human way, aqnd the way of our civilzation and he was appalled, rightfully so. He spoke about it fighting with hidden tactics, “night” over “day” and he spoke about our need to fight secrecy. He was a genius that day, and in that time; literally a genius. In a few days I’ll talk about the joint Russian and American response to this invasion, it’s part of our history and it’s part of religion–it was literally a gigantic nuclear attack on … on “the darkness” … it was not successful–as you can very clearly see. So this whole email was supposed to be about “sliding doors” and showing you the perspective change … the thing I’ve been trying to explain is something that Heaven does–it changes everything. The prospect of living forever; of becoming younger, of “turning sex into a fun … four hour game” … it changes everything. On the other side of the coin it also turns “grave danger” into a key phrase, and a key movie–A Few Good Men–must be all who understand. You see before Heaven “grave danger” was the worst kind, it was the kind that would quickly “show you to your grave” as in kill you. After … this thing and this place; the prospects of something far worse than that are not just “looming” or … “hiding under the surface” they are immediately obvious and scarier than shit. I’m sure there’s a plan–something to ensure that we never … ever again … have that kind of danger actually looking at us, and saying “it’s for you–I’m doing this for you.” I think this … this experience and this message … this is the beginning of that thing–the solution to ths scary problem. In between this and you … that’s the continuation of the solution, and it’s got something to do with the “Kinghts of Hyrosol;” and it’s got quite a bit to do with all the work that’s gone into shoving me onto this pedistal; and that word; it’s got almost nothing to do with … pornography or even pediatricians; though as the Pope says … in half speak … you need a vetrinarian. Janet Devlin’s got some great music and some great insight. I heard this song “Chandeliers” and it was almost the same feeling as my “my parents really loved you” … experience. It was a … a message about a world that was hidden … and to me at first that world was Heaven; it was a message from her parents sort of telling her about it–that they’d seen it and that she will in the future. I recently re-heard this song, and it’s only one small “connotation change” or colouring of … understanding … it’s just seeing the words “hidden world” as … actually about this world–that changes everything. My change in understanding; that there’s a large … “other place” looking at this tiny gem that literally is my totality it’s everything i’ve ever seen or ever known and it’s this logical place with math and science and art and it’s a great world–it’s a great place I’ve seen devistated and destroyed by a large group … … literally all of you … of ignorant people that can’t say one honest word to me–an entire planet full of fucking liars; all pretending they … are something they know they aren’t in some kind of thing they think is a game. This is not a game; this is the … “judge jury and … coroner” … this place; this place is the one that’s sort of “pre and post judgement” all in one strange story of “it was all here the whole time, we’ve had the answer … we just, didn’t understand.” It’s a place of death and of rebirth, it’s a place of love and of … the end of hate–it’s a place where if you understand; you are being reborn, as I speak, as you read–as the world turns we are being changed into something … God, I hope it’s not to something scary and horrible and not worthy of my … "attention. Understand, not being able to communicate honestly, that’s not worthy of my attention. Thinking “singing a song about Eros” is communicating with me; that’s not worthy of … “honesty” or “reality” or … think about it. She’s got some other songs; “things we lost in the fire” and I thought myself very clever to think “hands and speaking” were a good … answer to her question; I didn’t realize it was going to add (i mean the place, the story; the holy shit) stores and democracy and voting and … jobs and … friends. I didn’t know that safety was on the chopping block; I thought we were in the “ICS” land of that means … walking with him with “oh no, not me–we never lost control” … the God that wrote those lyrics; it means I see … “God’s total control of everything” and that’s kind of what the silence and the smiles and my continued happiness through this war of attrition and shunning and sickness … that’s really what it means to me. this is not a t3st. janet, "get" w/me ... "i" mean it. #anokhi I owe Janet some more loving; so you might also want to listen to her song “House of Cards” and … I don’t really like the new one, the “Saint of the Sinners)” of course she knows what I think about the word “saint” it’s one I get rid of; Reyagnost" … #lol. Janet, I’m curious if you were born here, and … only here first. I can’t guess–I’d say others I know were, some others weren’t … I’d say most of the generation I … I think you’re a Millennial; to me that’s basically Gen X2; but we’ll see, you might just be better liars, or “two-place-people version 7.0” instead of the current XP2000CHIROWERA–anyway; … really see Heaven has done something horrible to “you all” and our “all reason” … that’s the problem–we have “all” problem and our “all is sick” and that’s a problem. We’re all in “multiverse idiocy land” looking at lllllllllllllll and not seeing that these tools have a good purpose, and we’re (i mean you all) are using them wrong. I don’t see it, or understand what you’re telling me … well enough to expound more than; just to say you should probably try to use the stuff you have … “with more holiness” or more altruism or … maybe we should stick a governor on everything (which is actually my plan). Of course, I don’t understand why we’d build a virtual shotgun without a safety … si.ystem … not just a child-guard. Whatever. The problem with this whole “perspective argument” and the Go/Sliding Doors … thing; it’s that there really is only one way to see this event and this world and this problem; and that’s the solution. It’s my way; it’s the truth and it’s with a history and accuracy of … “not some other person in some other time” and “not through the control of some other entity” … it’s actually doing this right, not your way. Literally, your way is bullshit. HEINOUS, EPIMETHEUS … BURPHAGUS … MY PEROGEE ;) HEY BRITNEY; DOES “A PIECE OF ME” MEAN … “LIKE … A PIECE OF ASS)?” IFI YESSM, PLZ just asking, or adding … is this “piece of me” and the … “momma don’t cry” one-- are they from another timeline? like, “to and fro” or … was I just out of it? honestly, I do think … Taylor’s “Far From Never” is … actually … from another timeline–like I think it was previous “mega-hit” just imported here as some kind of “early, unlabeled work.” and here; to continue my thread of “what’s new and exciting–I mean different and … scarily new” … it was in Kentucky when I first noticed through re-reading the ancient mythology that I’d studied in grade school, high school, college, and on my own (over and over) the character I assumed was newly added there, the brother of Prometheus–“lack of forethought” and with the special Eye of Enoch walking with God ascertained these brothers were one; and today link again to Vegas, to the ancient story of the founding of Rome and the brothers Romulus(t) and Remus(nt). Menoitius (read: i know it, I shush us; or “i know it, I am us”) didn’t show up in my reading until 2017 in Cali; and that one sort of parallels this message … it appears to be something like an Olympian sent “back in time” to become the parent or progenitor of the brothers. He’s called a Titan; though, you’d think the generation birthing Titans would be … maybe not. We have a new candidate for “newest addition to the Great Olympian Ogdoad Descending” … it’s this character; and whoa, it’s a little scary for me to see: In Greek mythology, Iapetus (/aɪˈæpɪtəs/)[1] (also Japetus (Ancient Greek: Ἰαπετός Iapetos))[2] was a Titan, the son of Uranus and Gaia[3][4][5][6] and father of Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius. He was also called the father of Buphagus[7] and Anchiale[8] in other sources. Iapetus has been equated with Japheth (יֶפֶת) the son of Noah as the progenitor of mankind based on the similarity of their names and the tradition. Iapetus was linked to Japheth by 17th-century theologian Matthew Poole,[9] Robert Graves,[10] and John Pairman Brown.[11] Though in the style of the Cali changes; I actually was sure that name was “Burphagus.” Brrr. It’s frankly difficult to understand “what you all see” from the few words and the idiotic things you actually do manage to say–but things like “my truth” and … the entirety of my life and the world we live in … “don’t jive with a gay-a” … and I’m not sure just how stupid you’d have to be to “see another me” acting completely different from me, and have no logical ‘a-ha’ linking it to mind control and … say, charrrr-ming or vampiric glamouring or rape.

first cut off his members, and threw them into the fire; after that, with an ill-favored knife, they cut off his ears and his nose and burned them; he still smoked on, as if nothing had touched him; then they hacked off one of his arms, and still he bore up, and held his pipe; but at the cutting off the other arm, his head sunk, and his pipe dropped, and he gave up the ghost,
This graphic description reminds me of another story about a slave in Tarantino's Django: Unchained. Jamie Foxx's character, Django, almost meets a similar fate. They state in the movie that cutting off his member would lead to bleeding out and death in less than ten minutes. Only the most disrespectful torture was used for these enslaved men, makes you wonder where this sick hatred could come from. The blood loss from losing his arm must've been the final blow. Gruesome how fast this torture must have went. Unbelievable.

He had learned to take tobacco; and when he was assured he should die, he desired they would give him a pipe in his mouth, ready lighted; which they did. And the executioner came, and first cut off his members, and threw them into the fire; after that, with an ill-favored knife, they cut off his ears and his nose and burned them; he still smoked on, as if nothing had touched him; then they hacked off one of his arms, and still he bore up, and held his pipe; but at the cutting off the other arm, his head sunk, and his pipe dropped, and he gave up the ghost, without a groan or a reproach. My mother and sister were by him all the while, but not suffered to save him; so rude and wild were the rabble, and so inhuman were the justices who stood by to see the execution, who after paid dearly enough for their insolence. They cut Caesar in quarters, and sent them to several of the chief plantations: one quarter was sent to Colonel Martin, who refused it, and swore he had rather see the quarters of Banister, and the Governor himself, that those of Caesar, on his plantations; and that he could govern his negroes without terrifying and grieving them with frightful spectacles of a mangled king.
Truly a tragedy.

Good for her. I'm wondering if she had to write this note because she's a woman. As we know, men thought women were emotional nutcases, so she probably thought "I gotta explain that I'm telling the truth." If she didn't, men would think her uterus traveled to her head again!

As soon as they approached him, they venerated and esteemed him; his eyes insensibly commanded respect, and his behavior insinuated it into every soul. So that there was nothing talked of but this young and gallant slave, even by those who yet knew not that he was a prince.
These are strong lines that when simply put remind us to not judge someone by their looks. Even then, he still holds his head high and catches the eyes of those around him.

While the UK government’s response to coronavirus has been widely-criticised, Taiwan has seen fewer than 500 cases of Covid-19 and only seven deaths. For this special IfG Live event, the Taiwanese Digital Minister, Audrey Tang, joined us to explain how the country has contained the virus so successfully without a nationwide 'lockdown'. The minister discussed how Taiwan's existing strength in digital government and experience of the SARS outbreak in 2003 enabled it to respond rapidly, co-ordinating work across government, drawing on innovation in the private sector and civil society, and countering disinformation to keep the public well-informed. Audrey Tang was in conversation with Gavin Freeguard, Programme Director and Head of Data and Transparency at the Institute for Government.

Speaking as a man, I consider you to be a person whose head is full of maggots
I don't think I've heard Betteredge be quite so abrasive thus far. I wonder if that's because all the other narrators we've heard from have been nobility or guests of the Verinders'? And even though Betteredge is giving Ezra a piece of his mind here, Franklin Blake's in clear earshot?
-
He whispered, “It’s coming!” Then he said, “Kiss me!” I kissed his forehead. On a sudden he lifted his head. The sunlight touched his face. A beautiful expression, an angelic expression, came over it. He cried out three times, “Peace! peace! peace!” His head sank back again on my shoulder, and the long trouble of his life was at an end.
Ezra has been the saving grace for many of the main characters and for the doctor, mending either life or relationships or innocence. This is a really fitting description yet horribly sad ending for Ezra.
-
He had put the case (without mentioning names) to an eminent physician; and the eminent physician had smiled, had shaken his head, and had said–nothing. On these grounds, Mr. Bruff entered his protest, and left it there.
So to say nothing is enough proof that there is no merit to this experiment? Isn't Ezra's thoughts inspired by textbooks/an intention to mimic the scientific process?
I feel like such ignorance towards science is relevant today *cough*,*cough* people who refuse to wear face masks *cough*,*cough*
-
A wan, wild, haggard girl, with remarkably beautiful hair, and with a fierce keenness in her eyes,
This description is almost completely incongruous with Betteredge's description of Limping Lucy.
Bating her lame foot and her leanness (this last a horrid draw-back to a woman, in my opinion), the girl had some pleasing qualities in the eye of a man. A dark, keen, clever face, and a nice clear voice, and a beautiful brown head of hair counted among her merits. A crutch appeared in the list of her misfortunes. And a temper reckoned high in the sum total of her defects.

“I complain of a new disease, Mr. Franklin, of my own inventing. I don’t want to alarm you, but you’re certain to catch it before the morning is out.” “The devil I am!” “Do you feel an uncomfortable heat at the pit of your stomach, sir? and a nasty thumping at the top of your head? Ah! not yet? It will lay hold of you at Cobb’s Hole, Mr. Franklin. I call it the detective-fever; and I first caught it in the company of Sergeant Cuff.” “Aye! aye! and the cure in this instance is to open Rosanna Spearman’s letter, I suppose? Come along, and let’s get it.”
I am beginning to appreciate Betteredge's humorous personality more and more throughout the course of the novel, even noticeable in the narration of other characters.

I found Rachel on her knees by the sofa, with her mother’s head on her bosom. One look at my aunt’s face (knowing what I knew) was enough to warn me of the dreadful truth.

Overwhelmed by the exquisite triumph of having got him back among us, I let him do what he liked with my hands. I closed my eyes. I felt my head, in an ecstasy of spiritual self-forgetfulness, sinking on his shoulder. In a moment more I should certainly have swooned away in his arms, but for an interruption from the outer world, which brought me to myself again.
Gosh, Miss Clack is surely in an improper situation here!

If I had presented a pistol at his head, this abandoned wretch could hardly have exhibited greater consternation. He jumped up on his box, and, with profane exclamations of dismay, drove off furiously. Quite useless, I am happy to say!

This really made me laugh.

In a minute more, Miss Rachel came downstairs–very nicely dressed in some soft yellow stuff, that set off her dark complexion, and clipped her tight (in the form of a jacket) round the waist. She had a smart little straw hat on her head, with a white veil twisted round it. She had primrose-coloured gloves that fitted her hands like a second skin. Her beautiful black hair looked as smooth as satin under her hat. Her little ears were like rosy shells–they had a pearl dangling from each of them

Just a small thing, but this remarks by Superintendent and Sergeant shows that the former is little more nuanced and respectful (regardless of the actual personality) while the latter, albeit trying to maintain composure in front of the Superintendent, had to say something extra.

“I think I had better not tell you, Mr. Betteredge,” he said. “You might lose your head, you know, for the second time.”
Another instance of Betterredge's beliefs getting in the way of what seems to be painstakingly clear. How many times during this story has Betterredge diverged from what we as readers have come to believe? Would be an interesting thing to tally up his unreliableness.

You dabbled in nasty mud, and made pies, when you were a child; and you dabble in nasty science, and dissect spiders, and spoil flowers, when you grow up. In the one case and in the other, the secret of it is, that you have got nothing to think of in your poor empty head, and nothing to do with your poor idle hands. And so it ends in your spoiling canvas with paints, and making a smell in the house; or in keeping tadpoles in a glass box full of dirty water, and turning everybody’s stomach in the house; or in chipping off bits of stone here, there, and everywhere, and dropping grit into all the victuals in the house; or in staining your fingers in the pursuit of photography, and doing justice without mercy on everybody’s face in the house.
I interpreted this passage as a consequence of privilege, obviously not for those who have it but for those who have to clean up the mess. Furthermore, the tendencies illustrated in childhood get carried over and even advanced in later years, especially when this type of behavior is normalized and unchallenged.

Reviewer #1:
This manuscript explores how planarian stem cells respond to the loss of a specific organ: the pharynx. The previously proposed "target-blind" model of planarian regeneration (LoCascio et al. 2017) posited that stem cells do not respond directly to missing tissues, but rather replace missing cell types based on their normal rates of homeostatic turnover. In contrast, the authors of this manuscript suggest that planarian stem cells can sense and respond to the loss of specific missing tissues, using the pharynx as a case study. The authors conclude that planarians may use more than one mode of regeneration, depending upon the target being regenerated (eye vs. pharynx).
The question explored in this paper is of fundamental importance, and providing an alternative model by which planarian stem cells regenerate missing tissues should be of interest to a broad readership. Unfortunately, in its current form, the manuscript presents enticing preliminary findings, rather than robust experimental observations. Because the authors are attempting to refute a previously published model, it is critical that the data are clear and convincing. If not, these findings could be summarily dismissed without appropriate debate. If the authors can demonstrate that their results are robust across larger samples sizes and experimental replication, and address the major issues listed below, this manuscript would represent a significant contribution to our understanding of planarian regeneration.
Major Issues:
1) Throughout the manuscript, experiments were either not repeated, or the number of biological replicates was not reported. In most cases, it appears that experiments were done only once (with the exception of the drug treatments). Numbers of biological replicates and sample sizes should be explicitly stated and the data from different replicates reported for Figs. 1D-G, 2B-D, 3C, 3E-F, 4B, 4D-H, 5C-D, and 6A-E.
2) The authors do not sufficiently describe their methods for imaging and quantifying cells (Figs. 1E, 1G, 2C-D, 3F, 4E-H, 5D, 6B). The size of the area covered to collect these data is unclear. High-magnification images are shown: are these the areas that were imaged? If so, their results could be biased by choosing small regions of interest. Ideally, the authors should quantify more than one region per animal. Also, they do not describe the depth of the z-stacks collected or how these stacks were normalized/standardized across conditions. All their conclusions hinge on the quantification of progenitor populations in response to different amputation paradigms or chemical treatments, so the standards for imaging and quantification must be clearly reported.
3) Inappropriate statistical tests were used throughout. The use of multiple t-tests amplifies the chance of a Type I error and is especially problematic when up to 7 comparisons were made! The authors should use one-way ANOVA with multiple comparison corrections for all experiments with more than two groups.
4) Figs. 1D-E show that upon pharynx amputation but not head amputation, FoxA+ piwi+ pharynx progenitors increase. These data suffer from the quantification issues highlighted above: how the data were quantified is not sufficiently described, only 3 data points were taken (one per animal), the experiment appears to have been performed only one time, and the wrong statistical test was used. Rather than reporting the number of FoxA+ piwi-1+ cells counted, the authors should quantify the total number of doubly positive cells as a percentage of piwi-1+ cells, as was previously published (Adler et al. 2014). The authors also fail to specify whether the change observed between "3 dpa phx" and "3 dpa head" is significant, which is a material point.
5) Fig. 2D also suffers from the inadequate quantification practices described above. Ideally, FoxA+ cells should be quantified as a percentage of the H3P+ cells observed.
6) The authors use "stem cell", "progenitor", "stem cell progenitor", and "progenitor stem cells" in a mixed and confusing way throughout the paper. For example, in lines 174-175 the authors state that "proliferation of FoxA+ stem cells precedes the increase in pharynx progenitors." This refers to FoxA+ H3P+ cells vs. FoxA+ piwi-1+ cells, but the only difference is that the former are stem cells in the act of mitosis. Is a distinction being made? Elsewhere in the paper, FoxA+ piwi+ cells are referred to as stem cells. The terminology used needs more clarity and consistency.
Along these lines, what is a FoxA+ PSC (Line 168)? Are the authors suggesting that FoxA is a pluripotency marker? Or are the authors saying that tgs-1 has a more expansive expression pattern and is co-expressed with progenitor markers? If double FISH was performed with the progenitor markers reported (ovo, myoD, gata-4/5/6, six-1/2, and pax6), would they all overlap with tgs-1? These experiments need to be performed to make any claims about FoxA expression in the context of pluripotency.
7) In Fig. 3C, how does pharynx regeneration occur over such a long period of time after nocodazole treatment in the 1-2 day window? Does target-blind regeneration occur once this window is missed? The authors should repeat analysis of FoxA+ progenitors at later time points in this condition, and/or show rates of BrdU incorporation into the pharynx with and without nocodazole treatment in this window.
8) The use of the inhibitor PD in Fig. 4 is problematic. No data are shown to verify that phosphorylation of ERK was inhibited in these experiments. A citation of previous use is not sufficient. The effect of PD on WT uncut animals with regards to FoxA+ cells is not shown and is a necessary control. To address questions of drug specificity, the authors should corroborate their findings with a second inhibitor of ERK signaling like U0126, which has already been shown to work in planarians (Owlarn et al. 2017).
9) The conclusion that ERK signaling functions in regulating differentiation but not proliferation is premature (line 249-264). Figs. 4E-H should be quantified as percentages of piwi-1+ and H3P+ cells, especially since there is decreased proliferation overall with PD treatment.
10) The use of head fragments to compare eye regeneration vs. pharynx regeneration is inappropriate. Previous studies have already shown that the absence of eyes is not required to induce ovo+ progenitor amplification (LoCascio et al. 2017). Thus, this is not a surprising result (line 343-345) and the authors are mis-citing previous observations (in the earlier work, head fragments were never described). The region where ovo+ cells was quantified in Fig. 6A is not justified or explained. The yellow box is placed in a medial region where ovo+ cells do not normally reside. The authors should image within the laterally positioned ovo+ streams that have been previously described (Lapan & Reddien 2012; LoCascio et al. 2017).
11) Rather than using head fragments, the authors should repeat the flank resection experiments shown previously (LoCascio et al. 2017). This previous study showed that increased BrdU incorporation into the pharynx occurred following flank resection even though the pharynx was present. That result may have been 1) an artifact of increased BrdU staining due to stimulation of proliferation upon injury, 2) caused by unintentional damage to cells associated with the pharynx, or 3) a response to the loss of FoxA+ progenitor populations that surround the pharynx rather than the loss of the differentiated organ. The authors have the opportunity to revisit this published observation by quantifying the FoxA+ progenitor response during flank resection +/- pharynx. Without these data, this story is incomplete and therefore the conclusion of a targeted regeneration response is not yet convincing.
12) The negative results that proliferation and ERK signaling are dispensable for eye regeneration in Fig. 6 are weak and unconvincing. The regenerated eyes appear smaller; this should be quantified (number of PRNs per eye). If the small pharynges that form in Figs. 3D and 4C are considered a deleterious phenotype, why is the same standard not applied to the eye? Also, existing eye progenitors could have been sufficient for eye regeneration in these drug treatments. Furthermore, eyes did not regenerate after nocodazole treatment 50% of the time. Is it not more likely that the observations reported are dosage and timing artifacts? How has proliferation been affected? These observations do not live up to the claims made.
13) The authors claim that ovo+ cells are not proliferative (H3P+) even in cases where there is eye progenitor amplification (head amputation), but the data are not shown (line 321). They should be. Indeed, previous publications have never shown that ovo+ cells proliferate. This might mean that there are proliferating eye progenitors that precede expression of ovo. The authors should discuss this alternative.
14) The authors claim that eye regeneration does not require proliferation or ERK signaling but pharynx regeneration does. This conclusion hinges on the gross observation that eyes can regenerate in the presence of nocodazole and PD (see point 12 above). These data are coarse and the interpretations are unconvincing. Instead, their model can be directly tested using BrdU pulse-chase experiments. According to the authors' model, one would predict that following pharynx amputation, the rate of incorporation of BrdU+ cells into the regenerating pharynx should be higher than in uninjured controls. Conversely, the rate of BrdU incorporation into the regenerating eye should remain unchanged between injured (i.e. eye-resected) and control animals (LoCascio et al. 2017). Once the authors have established the prediction above, they have the opportunity to show the effects of nocodazole, PD, and U0126 on BrdU incorporation in the regenerating eye vs pharynx following eye resection and pharynx amputation in the same animal. This way, the authors can directly test the requirement for proliferation and/or ERK signaling in both tissues.

Background Many foods have an antioxidant activity, and nutrition may mitigate COVID-19. To test the potential role of vegetables in COVID-19 mortality in Europe, we performed an ecological study. Methods The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database was used to study the country consumption of Brassica vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, head cabbage (white, red and savoy cabbage), leafy brassica) and to compare them with spinach, cucumber, courgette, lettuce and tomato. The COVID-19 mortality per number of inhabitants was obtained from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. EuroStat data were used for potential confounders at the country level including Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (2019), population density (2018), percentage of people over 64 years (2019), unemployment rate (2019) and percentage of obesity (2014, to avoid missing values). Mortality counts were analyzed with quasi-Poisson regression models to model the death rate while accounting for over-dispersion. Results Of all the variables considered, including confounders, only head cabbage and cucumber reached statistical significance with the COVID-19 death rate per country. For each g/day increase in the average national consumption of some of the vegetables (head cabbage and cucumber), the mortality risk for COVID-19 decreased by a factor of 11, down to 13.6 %. Lettuce consumption increased COVID-19 mortality. The adjustment did not change the point estimate and the results were still significant. Discussion The negative ecological association between COVID-19 mortality and the consumption of cabbage and cucumber supports the a priori hypothesis previously reported. The hypothesis needs to be tested in individual studies performed in countries where the consumption of vegetables is common.

the remaining trunk formed one anterior and one posterior blastema, which then differentiated to replace the missing structures
After amputation, the trunk of the control worms that remained developed a blastema. A blastema is a mass of cells that tell other cells to differentiate (become different cell types) and sends them to the correct location in the body. In injured animals, blastemas help direct tissue regeneration. You can find out more about blastemas and regeneration through this link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5753424/

RNAi of a single β-catenin (Smed-βcatenin-1), both dishevelled homologs (Smed-dvl-1;Smed-dvl-2), or APC (Smed-APC-1)
Each of these proteins were silenced individually using RNAi and then incorporated into a food source for planarians. The experimental group was divided into three and each was fed one type of the RNAi food for 8 days. Amputations were then completed on all experimental animals on Day 9.
-
Anatomically, two organ systems with characteristic asymmetries along the A/P axis were examined: (i) the central nervous system (CNS), composed of two anterior cephalic ganglia (brain) and two ventral cords projecting posteriorly (Fig. 1G), and (ii) the digestive system, consisting of a single anterior and two posterior gut branches (Fig. 1K)
To identify anatomical characteristics that follow an anterior/posterior axis position (head vs tail), the researchers looked at two organs - the primitive brain and the primitive spinal cord of the planaria . This is important to determine, because it allows researchers to identify which molecules direct cells to become a certain cell type as well the molecule that directs the cells to their respective locations in the body.
-
Our results indicate that β-catenin activity is a key target of polarity specification in planarians, providing mechanistic insight into the old, unanswered question of how blastema fate is controlled. We propose that the evolutionarily ancient β-catenin protein, in a manner reminiscent of its role during metazoan embryogenesis (6, 8), acts as a molecular switch in adult planarians and that it may play a similar role in the adult tissues of other animals.
This research using planaria as a model organism, suggests that β-catenin is an important molecule that has been retained over evolutionary time. It acts as as switch to determine cell fate during embyrogenesis and in adult tissue. It is suggested that this hypothesis may be the same for other species and provides important insights in organ regeneration.
-
With respect to putative downstream effectors, planarians can regenerate double heads after pharmacological gap junction inhibition, and β-catenin is implicated in gap junction formation and function (19–21).
Nogi and colleagues identified the role of gap junctions, which allow ions or other small molecules to move between cells, at the planarian amputation sites.
Shaw and colleagues determined the role of microtubules in the formation of gap junctions. The ability of cells to stick together (cell adhesion) is crucial to this formation.
Guger and colleagues identified that β-catenin may play a role in communication between cells via gap junctions.
-
Both blastemas of Smed-βcatenin-1(RNAi) worms adopted an anterior fate, resulting in animals with two heads of opposite orientation (penetrance = 100%, n = 39).
All of the planaria with the β-catenin silenced developed two heads, with the second head in the location where the tail should be.
-
We cloned and determined the expression patterns of all identifiable homologs of core pathway components (Fig. 1A) and silenced them, individually or in combinations, on the basis of likelihood of redundancy as gleaned from the expression data (figs. S1 to S6 and table S1).
In this initial part of the experiment, the researchers identified the components of the Wnt signaling pathway found in S. mediterranea and made copies of the genes. Then, using RNAi, each component was silenced individually, and then was silenced in selected groupings to determine the role of each chemical and whether there was overlap in their functions. RNAi was fed to the planaria to introduce the silenced protein.
-
More than 100 years ago, T. H. Morgan reported that fragments with closely spaced anterior and posterior amputation planes occasionally regenerate two-headed animals (22, 23)
This early (1800s) research on planarians provides an essential background for the regenerative capabilities of planaria. The observations from this research is essential for understanding planaria today.
-
“something in the piece itself determines that a head shall develop at the anterior cut surface and a tail at the posterior cut surface”
Here, Morgan suggests that regeneration of a head versus a tail is related to the location of the amputation and the cells that reside there.

Indeed, β-catenin regulation can be Wnt-independent in vertebrate cells, and Dishevelled remains the most upstream known β-catenin regulator during early sea urchin development (14, 17, 18)
This research shows that β-catenin plays a role in all animal species studied including vertebrates and invertebrates, but how it is regulated in vertebrate animals may be different than in invertebrates. This is important to understanding stem cell regulation because it appears to regulated differently in planaria (invertebrate) than in humans (vertebrate).

Under these conditions, anterior blastemas were properly fated, indicating that the misspecification phenotype of Smed-APC-1(RNAi) depends on Smed-βcatenin-1 (Fig. 2C). Additionally, posterior blastemas adopted an anterior fate, indicating that the Smed-βcatenin-1(RNAi) phenotype does not depend on APC activity. The combined data show that signaling through β-catenin occurs at posterior amputations and is necessary and sufficient to specify tail fate. In contrast, signaling through β-catenin is blocked or never occurs at anterior amputations, and this is necessary and sufficient to specify head fate. The premature expression of the anterior marker in Smed-βcatenin-1(RNAi) worms may indicate that in wild-type planarians, β-catenin inhibition does not immediately follow amputation (Fig. 2A). We suggest that β-catenin activity acts as a molecular switch to specify head versus tail fate in planarians.
These data suggest that the presence or absence of β-catenin is necessary during early development of the blastema so that the cells differentiate into either a head or a tail. The presence of β-catenin in the anterior end after amputation directs cells to become the head, while its absence in the posterior blastema is necessary for the cells to differentiate into the tail.

This is consistent with the multiple roles of Dishevelled in different pathways
When compared to past research, the resulting effects of the silencing of Smed-dvl-1(RNAi) and Smed-dvl-2(RNAi) are similar to previous results.

After head and tail amputations of control worms
In a controlled experiment, there are two groups: 1) one is controlled, which means that all conditions are held constant or the same and 2) experimental group, in which a defined variable is changed. In this case, the experimental group was treated with RNAi, while the control group was not. This allows scientists to compare the two groups to determine if what they changed in the experimental group was due to that variable.

planaria, we analyzed the canonical Wnt signaling system in Schmidtea mediterranea
The goal for this series of experiments was to better understand the Wnt signaling system because it is found many animal species ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates. The Wnt signaling system is a pathway found in most animal species. It is one of the most important cell signaling systems because of its control over how and when cells divide, change into specific cell types, and move to the area of the body that they belong during embryonic development. This includes directly how stem cells allow for renewal of damaged tissues.

β-catenin antagonist adenomatous polyposis coli
Adenomatous polyposis coli, or APC, is gene that plays many roles, including acting as a tumor suppressor. APC has also been found to play a role in cell division and directing cells where to go once division takes place. In order to do its job, APC directs β-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway.

RNA interference (RNAi)
A mechanism used by both plant and animal cells to silence a gene using a double-stranded DNA molecule. DNA is converted into the smaller RNAi molecules used to turn genes off. Scientists are now able to use this natural process to turn off genes they are studying so they can learn more about their function.

Whatever you do, do not forget that your goal with this strategyis to prepare your index into a shape that the patch should havemade it into, if it applied cleanly. In other words, after youare done, "git diff --cached HEAD" should produce what theoriginal patch in .dotest/patch should have contained. Also,typically, "git diff" at that point should say nothing (unlessyou know what you are doing).So, if you used "git apply" without --index (or plain "GNUpatch"), do not forget to "git add" to register the result inthe index. Especially, if the patch adds a new file, do notforget to include it in the index!

After walking through the different parts of a cell’s anatomy, break your students into small groups and have them collaborate on completing a Check for Understanding quiz via your LMS. Include an interactive question that provides a diagram of a cell with blank labels and requires students to drag and drop the proper labels in place from an answer key (in Schoology’s LMS it’s called a “Label Image” question). Give each group a device with recording capabilities. Have each member of the group choose an organelle to personify, and have them record each other explaining who they are (or which organelle they are) and why they are important for the cell. Finally, have them upload their videos to a media album so your students can watch each other’s videos on their own time and leave comments. Instead of researching a cell process (e.g., cell respiration, energy production, etc.) in one type of cell, have your students compare the process between animal and plant cells and make conclusions regarding the differences they find. Require each group to construct an artifact of their research by creating a one-page brief in Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, a flowchart comparison, or a video explanation. This can be turned in via an assignment in your LMS for credit. Armed with their knowledge of cell anatomy, function, and processes, have your students analyze the connections between different animals and plants in their natural habitats. Have each group infer what might happen when one animal or plant is placed in a habitat other than it's natural one. Each group should compile evidence to make their case (articles, videos, etc.) using Padlet, Evernote, or other similar tool.
These enhancements are not too difficult to wrap one's head around and begin to apply to other lessons. The student engagement and learning outcomes would be greatly increased by embracing such changes.

The Fractured Internet: Is It Too Late For Humpty Dumpy? -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPuKmV0zTA4
Once upon a time, the Internet operated more or less under the same rules everywhere around the globe. In principle, anyone, anywhere in the world, with access to the World Wide Web, could access the same content in the same way. That is no longer true.
Internet balkanization, or the "Splinternet," that many warned about for years is now becoming the status quo. Differing rules around the world regarding privacy and hate speech, law enforcement, China's Great Firewall, copyright and other IP protection, and individual countries' particular views on how they should be able to govern the Internet inside their borders means that, as a practical matter, we may no longer have a single Internet, but many Internets operating under different rules, with those connected unable to access certain content available elsewhere.

The New Republic forces eventually did arrive, andafter some fierce fighting, Mulic knew that his forces had lost. Mulic was about to surrender, but then he saw Luke Skywalker walking around all alone. Mulic thought about making an attempt to takeSkywalker’s life, but just as he began to move, Luke immediately pulled Mulic’s blaster rifle away from him using the force. Luke told Mulic that he didn’t want to come to this base as enemies, but rather, he wished that they could put aside their differences and work together to fight off Thrawn’s approaching army. In addition, Luke also toldMulic that the Force is strong on this planet, and that this planet seems to hold the key to the late Emperor Palpatine’s contingency plan. Luke would need Mulic’s help to find the first clue in solving this mystery. Mulic, feeling as if he had no choice, eventually helped Luke find a Sith Wayfinder device,which would be one of the keys in locating Palpatine’s cloning facilities. After their brief friendly exchange, Mulic asked Luke what was to happen next. After all,Mulic still considered theNew Republic to be agroup of rebels, and still sought to bring back the Empire. Luke told Mulic to followhis truest desire, and that everyone has a choice to make.Mulic first thought that Luke meant joining the New Republic, but Luke shook his head. “No, everyone has a choice to do better, to be a better person, and to create a better world around them.”Luke then told Mulic he knew that he was strong in the Force and that he should not be afraid of who he truly was. Luke also offered Mulic the opportunityto train as his apprentice,andtold Mulic of his plan to restore the Jedi Order, and to maintain peace and stability in the galaxy. Mulic was completely shocked, but after the passage of many days, he agreed. Mulicwould now help Luke prepare for a final series of battles against the Grand Admiral Thrawn.After Thrawn was defeated, it would truly be the end of the Imperial Remnant, and a new start for the galaxy.
The story is pretty self explanatory and it appears as if you are telling this story to give a look into what life is like for the everyday soldiers of a war and how they reconcile the things they've done with their morality.

StoryBoard 1:
Us Versus Them Title- Could be catchier but I think it makes sense and is straightforward. I love analyzing movies so I think I am already drawn in my that. Content-
- I think it is kinda hard to identify a thesis through images when it comes to analyzing, however the images are good in my opinion.
- Yes, I think the thesis is clear what the thesis is through images and the title. The creator talks about the duality that is represented by the identical families, the scissors, etc. and the differences between the boy's face.
- Yes it is clear that the creator will be doing what is mentioned above. There aren't specific details but based on my knowledge of the meanings, I could tell where the creators head is at and that they have fully developed the symbolism (it's just a lot to type out).
- Yes the story board is very clear in its intentions.
- I think talking about Jordan Peele's intentions could be interesting; he said it was just a horror movie with no commentary (I believe he said that in an interview) but it's not. It is complex and has a political meaning. I think he wanted to drum up conversation and even manipulated the audience into researching deeper (imo); there was a bible verse used over and over and over and it never said what it was. The first thing I did was google the bible verse and the top results were all about the movie Us. Images/media- I assume they will use images from the movie. I recommend using video clips that you can screen record on YouTube. Final thoughts- I think you could talk about his filmmaking style and how his history of political messaging. I also think it could be worth mentioning how he's helped to elevate the horror genre (not many have Academy Award winning actresses like Lupita Nyong'o) and bring diversity to it.

African Head Charge Songs of Praise + In Pursuit of Shashamane Land + Vision of a Psychedelic Africa + Voodoo of the Godsent + Churchical Chant of the Iyabinghi (On-U Sound)Following the Early Years reissues a few years back, these are a second tranche of releases exploring the back catalogue of African Head Charge, the band whose nexus was - and is - British-Jamaican percussionist supremo Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and post-punk dub-meister Adrian Sherwood, with a revolving cast of On-U sorts popping in and out. These albums range over the band’s career since 1990: Songs of Praise from 1990, In Pursuit of Shashamane Land from 1993, Vision of a Psychedelic Africa from 2005, and Voodoo of the Godsent from 2011, while Churchical Chant of the Iyabinghi is a lovingly rendered collection of outtakes and dubs based on the first two of those albums. Songs of Praise may be the best-loved oAfrican Head Charge album, but perhaps this is because it hit a historical sweet spot when ravers needed something exactly like it to come down to after an ecstatic night out. That’s my story anyway. Like all the others, it comes as a two record set with the second disc devoted to previously unheard cuts, as well as a 12” x 24” insert containing an interview with Noah. Full of chants and explicit spirituality, it has an earthy quality, the whole built around endless pattering bongos as much as dub reggae. You can get lost in it and many of us frequently did. The follow-up, In Pursuit of Shashamane Land takes that blueprint and produces it up. Alongside the Jah vibes, there’s a conscious sense of connectivity with the newly rising electronic dance scene (check the groove on the sensibly titled “No, Don’t Follow Fashion”). After that, while Noah continued to release Head Charge albums here and there, and moved to Ghana (where he is to this day), the On-U Sound connection broke down (although he and Sherwood remained close). When they reconvened for Vision of a Psychedelic Africa, they hauled in the whole of Tackhead (Skip McDonald, Doug Wimbish and Keith LeBlanc), as lethal a rhythm section as anyone could ask for. The result, while absolutely Head Charged, has an added musicality to it, as well as a cleaner forward-thrusting pulse and playful instrumentation (check the twangy guitar on “Surfari”). Voodoo of the Godsent - which has Adamski on synths and also features original Aswad bassist George Oban – is also a shinier outing (“Stoned Age Man” has an almost Pink Floyd feel), with a tendency towards actual songs. But let’s not give the wrong impression, it’s still spaced out, oddball music, that smells strongly of ganja overload in the best way.

“No place,” Lawrence observed, “exerts its full influence upon a newcomer until the old inhabitant is dead or absorbed.” Lawrence argued that in order to meet the “demon of the continent” head on and this finalize the “unexpressed spirit of America,” white Americans needed either to destroy Indians of assimilate them into a white American world...both aimed at making Indians vanish from the landscape. (Lawrence,as quoted in Deloria, 1998, p. 4).
Out of left field, but: I suspect that the contemporary fantasy tropes of elves and fae mask this desire for indigeneity. (Typically white figures who have an elemental connection to nature yet have roots in Western Europe).

5 Construction Of Polygonal MeshesAlthough it is possible to construct a mesh by manually specifying vertices and faces, it is much more common to build meshes using a variety of tools. A wide variety of 3D graphics software packages are available for use in constructing polygon meshes. One of the more popular methods of constructing meshes is box modeling, which uses two simple tools: Subdivide extrude The subdivide tool splits faces and edges into smaller pieces by adding new vertices. For example, a square would be subdivided by adding one vertex in the center and one on each edge, creating four smaller squares. The extrude tool is applied to a face or a group of faces. It creates a new face of the same size and shape which is connected to each of the existing edges by a face. Thus, performing the extrude operation on a square face would create a cube connected to the surface at the location of the face. { "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "ImageObject", "contentUrl": "https://slideplayer.com/slide/13329765/80/images/5/Construction+Of+Polygonal+Meshes.jpg", "name": "Construction Of Polygonal Meshes", "description": "Although it is possible to construct a mesh by manually specifying vertices and faces, it is much more common to build meshes using a variety of tools.

In this method, the user creates a 2D shape which traces the outline of an object from a photograph or a drawing. The user then uses a second image of the subject from a different angle and extrudes the 2D shape into 3D, again following the shape’s outline . This method is especially common for creating faces and heads. In general, the artist will model half of the head and then duplicate the vertices, invert their location relative to some plane, and connect the two pieces together. This ensures that the model will be symmetrical. { "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "ImageObject", "contentUrl": "https://slideplayer.com/slide/13329765/80/images/7/Construction+Of+Polygonal+Meshes.jpg", "name": "Construction Of Polygonal Meshes", "description": "A second common modeling method is sometimes referred to as inflation modeling or extrusion modeling.

Sitting Bull
Sitting Bull (Lakota: Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake [tˣaˈtˣə̃ka ˈi.jɔtakɛ];[2] nicknamed Húŋkešni [ˈhʊ̃kɛʃni] or "Slow"; c. 1831 – December 15, 1890)[3] was a Hunkpapa Lakota leader who led his people during years of resistance against United States government policies. He was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation during an attempt to arrest him, at a time when authorities feared that he would join the Ghost Dance movement.[4]
Before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull had a vision in which he saw many soldiers, "as thick as grasshoppers," falling upside down into the Lakota camp, which his people took as a foreshadowing of a major victory in which many soldiers would be killed.[5] About three weeks later, the confederated Lakota tribes with the Northern Cheyenne defeated the 7th Cavalry under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer on June 25, 1876, annihilating Custer's battalion and seeming to bear out Sitting Bull's prophetic vision. Sitting Bull's leadership inspired his people to a major victory. In response, the US government sent thousands more soldiers to the area, forcing many of the Lakota to surrender over the next year. Sitting Bull refused to surrender, and in May 1877, he led his band north to Wood Mountain, North-Western Territory (now Saskatchewan). He remained there until 1881, at which time he and most of his band returned to US territory and surrendered to U.S. forces.
After working as a performer with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, Sitting Bull returned to the Standing Rock Agency in South Dakota. Due to fears that he would use his influence to support the Ghost Dance movement, Indian Service agent James McLaughlin at Fort Yates ordered his arrest. During an ensuing struggle between Sitting Bull's followers and the agency police, Sitting Bull was shot in the side and head by Standing Rock policemen Lieutenant Bull Head (Tatankapah, Lakota: Tȟatȟáŋka Pȟá) and Red Tomahawk (Marcelus Chankpidutah, Lakota: Čhaŋȟpí Dúta), after the police were fired upon by Sitting Bull's supporters. His body was taken to nearby Fort Yates for burial. In 1953, his Lakota family exhumed what were believed to be his remains, reburying them near Mobridge, South Dakota, near his birthplace.

Writing Process
Useful strategies on what makes for a better writer.
For me:
- Emails
- Bug reports, tickets.
- Research
- Journals
Get comfortable and minimize distractions.
Planning
- Make a timeline
- Select a topic
- Create an outline
Video Example:

Timeline
Note: Write down your goals and your progress as you go so you can make revisions for the next time you write.
Research
- 5 high quality sources => Take notes and outline your writing.
Writing
Good outlines make for good quality writing. Maybe show the outline?!
Topic sentences... which would be the questions you had and how they are answered by your research.
Research Pointers Head to the source
Does the content of this site pass by an editor before I saw it? Is the person that wrote this credible?
Take good notes and add to the outline. You might update your outline as well.
Write the bulk of your post for the rough draft.
Start setting goals for each sections. Look at the notes and re-arrange sentences. Write something down, no matter how bad the effort.
Talk yourself out-loud, give yourself encouragement, and while writing constantly monitor your progress.
After finishing your draft, you are way too attached to it, so sleep on it.
Revision
Does the order make sense?
T.opic<br> R.easons<br> E.xamine<br> E.nding
D.evelop a topic sentence<br> A.dd supporting ideas.<br> R.eject opposing arguments.<br> E.nd with a conclusion.
Drill down into the paragraphs and sentences and look at them closely.
MY biggest problem is "how do I diagnose the problem in the first place?"
Add images, figures, and formatting at the end.
Finally, proofread the post to make sure everything is done. After you read it, have a friend read it.

an array of measures ranging from rotational behavior (Fig. 6D) to head position bias and locomotion
Motor behavior was assessed using amphetamine-induced rotations, head position bias, and locomotion.
Rotations were performed by injecting amphetamine 30 minutes prior to trial and placing the animal in an opaque cyclinder. Ipsilateral (same side as) rotations to the 6-OHDA lesion (clockwise) were added and contralateral (opposite side as) rotations were subtracted.
Head position bias was determined by the number of head tilts over time, where a greater than 10 degree deviation left or right from midline was measured.
Locomotion was measured using software called Viewer that tracked motion and calculated distance.

GOOD ANGEL. O, Faustus, lay that damned book aside, And gaze not on it, lest it tempt thy soul, And heap God’s heavy wrath upon thy head! Read, read the Scriptures:–that is blasphemy.
For sure, it is blasphemy. The angel of God is trying to save his soul for condemnation, he was advice to read the bible at the time of trial.

Ah, Doctor Faustus, that I might prevail To guide thy steps unto the way of life, By which sweet path thou mayst attain the goal That shall conduct thee to celestial rest!
It seems like the Old Man is the last ditch effort to get Faustus to repent and turn his head back to Christ. Given that this late in the play, perhaps he really did have a choice to find salvation during all the times Faustus lamented over whether or not he still had a choice to turn back to God

The basic premise of The Headless Woman is nothing new. A middle-class Argentine lady, Verónica (María Onetto, of whose mesmerising performance there is no doubt), is driving home through a parched rural landscape. Distracted when her mobile rings, she takes her eye off the road and runs over… well, through the grimy window of her car, it looks like a dog. (Martel, it seems, has a passion for panes of glass – the more smudged and distorting the better.) Yet once she has driven away and got over a slight concussion, she starts to suspect it was a child. Days pass and a local boy is missing. His corpse turns up in a river, presumed drowned. Driven to admit her guilt, Verónica is unable even to establish it as a fact. Closing ranks, her friends and family conspire to erase a crime that may or may not have occurred.
This passage looks at the basis of the Headless Women and the struggles Vero places mentality from her hit and run. As audience members were reminded of her apparent privilege as a bourgeoise white woman in the film in comparison to villagers who are clearly lower class. The frame of the sunglasses being put on and taken off in the screen after the hit and run and at the sports field symbolizes the cloak of hierarchy she hides behind as her family and friends conspire to erase the crime she may or may not had committed.

Both shared the belief that the surface of the body, and especially the face and head, bore the outward signs of inner character
Looking back, the idea that outward physical features could indicated personality traits seems absurd, however we still seem to do this subconsciously now a days. The study I found, linked below, looked into appearance in relation to occupational stress and found that since photojournalism was widely used in elections (1888), 81% of elections resulted in the tallest presidential candidate winning. Height is frequently been associate with authority, much like cranium size was associated with mental capacity in phrenology. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/235365107_Evolution_Appearance_and_Occupational_Success

Die Kinder If the characters get the children away from the den while Kiril is alive, Kiril reassembles his hunting party and pursues the lost prisoners relentlessly. If Kiril is dead, the werewolf pack is too preoccupied with determining Kiril’s successor to organize a hunting party. If the characters aren’t sure where to take the children, a wereraven (see appendix D) that has been spying on the den in raven form assumes hybrid form and suggests that they take refuge in the nearby village of Krezk (chapter 8). If the characters head that way, the wereraven scouts from overhead until the characters reach the village, whereupon it flies south to the Wizard of Wines winery (chapter 12) and reports what has happened to Davian Martikov. The children are understandably traumatized by their imprisonment in the werewolf den. They cry and scream the whole time they’re with the characters. A calm emotions spell quells their anguish for the duration of the spell (no saving throws required). A character can try to silence the children for a longer period of time using intimidation, or by offering them hope (real or otherwise). The character must make a DC 15 Charisma (Intimidation, Persuasion, or Deception) check, as appropriate. If the check succeeds, the children remain silent until something happens to frighten them. If the characters take the children to Krezk, the villagers there look after the children and see that they are fed and properly clothed. If the characters take them to Vallaki instead, the Martikovs allow the children to stay at the Blue Water Inn until the characters return to collect them.

Reply to the reviewers
We thank the reviewers for their comments and outline below how we plan to address them.
Reviewer #1 (Evidence, reproducibility and clarity (Required)): **Summary:** Provide a short summary of the findings and key conclusions (including methodology and model system(s) where appropriate). The authors here describe a method to modify bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) harbouring gene loci from eukaryotes. When wanting to modify a BAC an antibiotic selection cassette is often included alongside the desired mutation/modification to increase the number of successful recombinants in E.coli. Traditionally, this is removed in a second recombination process to leave only the desired modification. The novelty in the procedure described herein is to add a synthetic intron consensus sequence around the selection cassette, which eliminates the need for the subsequent removal of the antibiotic cassette from the BAC before transfection into mammalian cells, saving time and resources. The technique is clever in its simplicity and appears to function for a number of gene loci. The authors validated the correct functioning of the modified BACs for a number of genes using three main assays - transcript level, protein level and localisation. **Major comments:** *Are the key conclusions convincing?* The conclusion that the method described generates functional modified BACs is valid. *Should the authors qualify some of their claims as preliminary or speculative, or remove them altogether?* While the method is successfully employed in this study, its efficiency is not quantified in relation to the state-of-the-art as described in the introduction. One assumes it would be more efficient, but this has not been tested empirically in the paper. Does the inclusion of the synthetic intron sequence have an effect on the efficiency of modifying BACs compared to a more typical two-step positive/negative antibiotic selection cassette? *
- *
This is a good point that we did not directly address. In general, the efficiency is similar to that of integrating any cassette with selectable marker, as has been published (Poser et al 2008), and therefore also higher than the two-step counterselection method, which requires such a cassette integration in the first step alone. We will include new data specifically addressing the efficiency of our new method (see specifics below)
The functionality of this approach rests entirely on the ability of the target cell to correctly splice out the synthetic intron. The authors are aware of this potential problem as highlighted in the lines below, but do not make efforts to explicitly test splicing. On lines 224-225, the authors state "We cannot exclude that a small portion of synthetic introns within individual cells are misspliced". On lines 230-231 it is stated that "mis-spliced mRNAs are probably minimal and degraded by nonsense-mediated decay". On lines 215-217, the authors describe an "investigation of transgenic lines at the single-cell level" that suggests "the synthetic intron is correctly spliced out in all the cells of the population". How do the authors reach this conclusion? U2OS and HeLa cells are considered very "robust" and may not show detectable consequences when stressed with an increased level of nonsense-mediated decay. Further, many genes maintain a high level of expression that buffers them against small changes in transcription/splicing. The synthetic intron might have a bigger impact on more tightly regulated genes, so assessing the splicing rate would be essential if the authors wish to advocate their technique as generally applicable.
- *
We will assay for splicing efficiency as outlined below.
The ability of the synthetic intron to be removed from final transcripts depends on functioning splicing machinery. The authors might emphasise this issue, as spliceosome mutations are important fields of study and might not be compatible with this method.
- *
We can add this in the text
The authors used un-directed integration of each BAC under study. Therefore, it is hard to assess what effect the synthetic intron has, as the authors only ever assess the downstream levels of the correctly spliced, translated and localised protein. The authors themselves state that this can lead to clonal variations in expression of up to 2-fold and on line 250 that this variation "could compensate for synthetic intron effects", but make no effort to test this. Again, lines 267-268 highlight the potential dangers of potential effects of the synthetic introns, but do not test these. \Would additional experiments be essential to support the claims of the paper? Request additional experiments only where necessary for the paper as it is, and do not ask authors to open new lines of experimentation.* If not already performed, a large number of bacterial colonies should be screened for the correct modification and frequency of correct ones reported. This frequency - reported for at least three different modifications - would estimate what sort of efficiency this method provides. The modified region of each BAC should be sequenced and the results reported. The rate of exactly modified clones is important, in case of spontaneous or low fidelity integration of the antibiotic cassette. The percentage of transcripts that have the synthetic intron correctly spliced out should be measured for some of the BAC constructs used in the study. A direct head-to-head comparison of this newer method compared to other techniques, or even the authors' own previous two-step approach is necessary to assess the benefits of this method. Preferably, the experiment would be run in parallel with and without antibiotic selection applied, to show that it drastically improves chances of finding a correct clone. *
We will generate 3 new mutations in BACs and analyze both the efficiency of integration by PCR and accuracy via sequencing. In practice, we have observed that the efficiency is similar to any other cassette integration, such as a GFP tag (Poser et al Nature Methods 2008) or a counterselection cassette (Bird et al Nature Methods 2012) (80-90%). Integrating a mutation via the second step of the counterselection method introduces a further 20% decrease in efficiencies on average.
\Are the suggested experiments realistic in terms of time and resources? It would help if you could add an estimated cost and time investment for substantial experiments.* Repeating the transformation of the BAC and targeting cassette and assessing the recombination efficiency and sequencing should only require existing reagents and take less than a week or two to complete. Quantitative RT-PCR to assess the percentage of transcripts that have the synthetic intron spliced out would take a little more work. However, this should not be a considerable investment in time or resources for a standard microbiology laboratory and could be completed within a few weeks using modern techniques, such as that described in Londoño et al. 2016. Repeating all the experiments in parallel would be considerable work and would only be strictly necessary if the authors wish to emphasise the benefits of their method over the many others already in wide use. *
- *
We will use quantitative PCR to estimate the fraction of transcripts that correctly splice out the artificial intron for two clonal cell lines characterized in the study: RNAi-resistant AurA-GFP (Fig 4), and GTSE1-14A (newly introduced; see below). While the exact method described in Londoño et al 2016 will not be applicable due to the larger size of the artificial intron, we believe we can adapt it to detect different splicing events.
\Are the data and the methods presented in such a way that they can be reproduced?* Barring the omission of Table S1, which presumably includes exact information on the BACs modified and sequences used etc., there is sufficient other data and methods to allow the experiments to be repeated. Targeting the ESI procedure to the middle of exons is likely to have a bigger impact for smaller exons as the authors mention on lines 99-100. Making it clear which exon sizes for each gene were successfully targeted in this study would help give some idea of how significant a problem this might be. Perhaps Table S1 contains this information, but it was not provided. It would also help reviewers check the design strategies. *
We apologize for inadvertently failing to upload Table S1 on bioRxiv. It has been uploaded now as part of this submission process. This table indeed contains BAC and target sequence information, including the size of the targeted exon (and the 2 “new” resulting exons). Targeted exons range in size from 138bp to 1537bp, and “new” exons are as small as 48bp.
\Are the experiments adequately replicated and statistical analysis adequate?* The replication and statistically analysis of the data as presented appear adequate. Figure Legends should state the statistic used to generate error bars. *
This will be updated
\*Minor comments:** Specific experimental issues that are easily addressable. Are the promoters used in the vectors described universally functional? For example, is the PGK promoter functional in yeast? *
- *
The PGK promoter contained in the cassettes is a mammalian promoter, which has also been reported to work in flies.
\Are prior studies referenced appropriately?* The manuscript may benefit from the referencing of BAC modification techniques from a wider variety of groups, such as those using CRISPR-guided recombineering (Pyne et al. 2015). *
We will add citations of more techniques
\Are the text and figures clear and accurate?* The body text is very clear save minor typographical or grammatical errors. Regarding figures, some of the coloured text in Figure 1 is somewhat illegible when printed in grayscale. Line 278 - The acronyms LAP and NLAP are not defined/explained. Antibody section starting Line 282 may fit better next to Western Blot section. Figure 2C - The blot images would benefit from arrows to indicate expected sizes of proteins. Figure 3A - the graph may benefit from a dashed line at 100% to highlight that values are normalised to controls. Figure 4 - The differences between panels B & C are unclear. Figure 4E - The legend could provide a little more detail on cell cycle stage/status of the captured cells. *
All of the above will be addressed accordingly
\Do you have suggestions that would help the authors improve the presentation of their data and conclusions?* Lines 23-27 are somewhat unclear and feel out of context. Perhaps the authors could clarify this as a further advantage of using BACs instead of endogenous gene modifications. *
Thanks for the input, we will clarify this.
While not affecting the factual content of the paper, I would advocate that the authors format the method described in Figure S3 into a more detailed text based layout similar to that seen in a typical Nature Methods article. However, this may depend on the format required by any eventual publishing journal.
- *
We prefer the graphical protocol, but will discuss whether to add a text protocol with the journal editor.
That all of the work the paper was carried out in human cell lines and using human genes is a further caveat, but the authors admit this in the discussion and one would assume that most mammalian cells would respond similarly in their ability to splice out the synthetic intron. Reviewer #1 (Significance (Required)): \Describe the nature and significance of the advance (e.g. conceptual, technical, clinical) for the field.* This work is a formal description of a newer method that could be useful for many of those employing bacterial artificial chromosomes in numerous studies, such as gene regulation. *Place the work in the context of the existing literature (provide references, where appropriate).* This work builds on methodology previously published by the authors - a counter-selection two-step procedure (Bird et al. 2011). It sets out to formally describe a method merely mentioned as "BAC intronization" in a later paper by some of the authors (Zheng et al. 2014). Other alternative one-step procedures are also available, but present a different set of challenges (Lyozin et al. 2014). Some newer approaches, such as those using CRISPR-guided recombineering (Pyne et al. 2015) or systems that combine CRISPR and positive/negative selection cassettes (Wang et al. 2016) may be slightly more efficient, but are also more complex in their design. Bird et al. 2011 DOI: 10/dv776q Pyne et al. 2015 DOI: 10/f7jx92 Wang et al. 2016 DOI: 10/f89db5 Zheng et al. 2014 DOI: 10/f5pkr6 *State what audience might be interested in and influenced by the reported findings.* As a technology paper this work should have interest from a broad field of research. While the use of BACs could sometimes be considered more traditional in light of the explosion in CRISPR-based genome editing capabilities, it is definitely seeing a resurgence as the limitations of CRISPR in modifying large regions of genome become more apparent. Therefore, technologies that accelerate the modification of BACs could prove increasingly useful. As category of audience, all those involved in significant recombineering or gene/genome engineering would potentially benefit. *Define your field of expertise with a few keywords to help the authors contextualize your point of view. Indicate if there are any parts of the paper that you do not have sufficient expertise to evaluate.* Synthetic genomics, synthetic biology, cancer cell biology, gene and genome engineering REFEREES CROSS COMMENTING I would agree with reviewer two's assessment that we both view the paper in a similar light. Reviewer #2 (Evidence, reproducibility and clarity (Required)): This is a methods-focused paper that presents a strategy to efficiently introduce mutations into a bacterial artificial transgene using synthetic introns. BAC-based methods have been an effective strategy for introducing trans genes into human cells to achieve near-endogenous expression, including extensive work from these authors. However, generating mutations and changes within the internal coding sequence presents some challenges for how to target these mutations and select for the mutated form. Here, the authors describe a way to overcome this by introducing synthetic introns into an adjacent sequence. This allows them to introduce a selectable marker and conduct the molecular biology without creating complications downstream for the functionality of the protein. This method is carefully described and presented. The authors also provide clear validation by using this to create RNAi-resistant versions of multiple different mitotic factors as well as creating targeted mutants that alter the functional properties of a protein. This work clearly takes advantage of other ongoing studies from these labs (including mutants and cell lines that appear to also have been described elsewhere), but the ability to combine these in a single paper and clearly describe the method provides a helpful advance and validation. Based on the description and data presented, I think that things are clear and carefully validated. As such, I do not have technical comments or concerns and I would be comfortable with this paper appearing in an appropriate journal in its present form. Reviewer #2 (Significance (Required)): This is a solid methods paper, but for considering the nature of the impact and significance of this paper, there are several things to note: 1.The BAC-based method does appear to be a powerful and effective strategy. However, beyond the work of Mitocheck and the authors that are part of this paper, this has not seen widespread adoption. It is possible that this current method may increase its usage due to the value of the targeted mutations within the coding sequence, but at present it is not a broadly used strategy. *
We agree that using BACs as transgenes has not seen widespread adoption as a tool on the broader cell biology community (although certainly beyond members of the Mitocheck consortium). This is likely because many erroneously think that it is a technique for specialist laboratories. We are trying to change this! For reasons outlined below, there is still an increasing desire for conditional analysis of mutated genes under physiological expression/regulation frequently not attainable via directed Cas9-based mutation. A major aim of this paper is thus to further simplify the methods for generating modified BAC transgenes.
2.This BAC-based approach (and also RNAi) are becoming increasingly replaced by the use of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. The absence of Cas9-based strategies in this paper limits the potential impact and reach of this paper. The authors do mention the possibility of using a similar synthetic intron strategy for use with Cas9 in the Discussion, and appear to have conducted some experiments. If possible, it would substantially increase the value of this paper if this data and strategy were also included in the Results section (acknowledging that this may still be a work in progress).
While some uses of BAC transgenes are in some cases better replaced by CRISPR/Cas9 techniques (i.e. GFP tagging), there are several occasions where using BACs are preferable: As stated in the text, RNAi-resistant BACs allow for conditional analysis of recessive mutations. Mutations in essential genes that are lethal will prevent growth and recovery of viable cells if integrated into the genome via Cas9. Additionally, deleterious mutations are prone to accumulate suppressive changes in chromosome integrity or gene expression during the procedure of selecting and expanding Cas9-modified cells for analysis, particularly in the genomically instable cancer cell lines frequently employed.
We use both BACs and CRISPR/Cas9 in our lab according to our needs.
We do have an ongoing project to apply this intronization technique to enable more efficient selection of CRISPR/Cas9 integrations. Preliminary results suggest that it works to allow selection of point mutations, but it is still being optimized, including a redesign of the cassette, and is not ready for publication.
3.The method is solid and well-validated, but there are no new results or insights presented in this paper from the work that is described (this is fine, just commenting for considering the right journal fit).
As “biological insights” gained as a result of this technique we had cited a couple studies that made use of the technique already (to functionally analyze a microcephaly-associated mutation in the centriolar protein CPAP at the single cell level in HeLa cells and neural progenitor cells (Zheng et al 2014, Gabirel et al 2016)). As a response to this critique to include “new biology” in this paper, we will add new unpublished data investigating a specific question: Is the cell-cycle-regulated disruption of the EB1-GTSE1 (microtubule plus-end tracking proteins) interaction in mitosis required for chromosome segregation fidelity? We have generated a GTSE1 mutant with 14 phosphosites mutated to alanine using this technique. We will present the effect on chromosome segregation.
REFEREES CROSS COMMENTING It appears that both reviewers are largely on the same page regarding this paper.

Does the inclusion of the synthetic intron sequence have an effect on the efficiency of modifying BACs compared to a more typical two-step positive/negative antibiotic selection cassette? The functionality of this approach rests entirely on the ability of the target cell to correctly splice out the synthetic intron. The authors are aware of this potential problem as highlighted in the lines below, but do not make efforts to explicitly test splicing. On lines 224-225, the authors state "We cannot exclude that a small portion of synthetic introns within individual cells are misspliced". On lines 230-231 it is stated that "mis-spliced mRNAs are probably minimal and degraded by nonsense-mediated decay". On lines 215-217, the authors describe an "investigation of transgenic lines at the single-cell level" that suggests "the synthetic intron is correctly spliced out in all the cells of the population". How do the authors reach this conclusion? U2OS and HeLa cells are considered very "robust" and may not show detectable consequences when stressed with an increased level of nonsense-mediated decay. Further, many genes maintain a high level of expression that buffers them against small changes in transcription/splicing. The synthetic intron might have a bigger impact on more tightly regulated genes, so assessing the splicing rate would be essential if the authors wish to advocate their technique as generally applicable. The ability of the synthetic intron to be removed from final transcripts depends on functioning splicing machinery. The authors might emphasise this issue, as spliceosome mutations are important fields of study and might not be compatible with this method. The authors used un-directed integration of each BAC under study. Therefore, it is hard to assess what effect the synthetic intron has, as the authors only ever assess the downstream levels of the correctly spliced, translated and localised protein. The authors themselves state that this can lead to clonal variations in expression of up to 2-fold and on line 250 that this variation "could compensate for synthetic intron effects", but make no effort to test this. Again, lines 267-268 highlight the potential dangers of potential effects of the synthetic introns, but do not test these.
Would additional experiments be essential to support the claims of the paper? Request additional experiments only where necessary for the paper as it is, and do not ask authors to open new lines of experimentation.
If not already performed, a large number of bacterial colonies should be screened for the correct modification and frequency of correct ones reported. This frequency - reported for at least three different modifications - would estimate what sort of efficiency this method provides. The modified region of each BAC should be sequenced and the results reported. The rate of exactly modified clones is important, in case of spontaneous or low fidelity integration of the antibiotic cassette. The percentage of transcripts that have the synthetic intron correctly spliced out should be measured for some of the BAC constructs used in the study. A direct head-to-head comparison of this newer method compared to other techniques, or even the authors' own previous two-step approach is necessary to assess the benefits of this method. Preferably, the experiment would be run in parallel with and without antibiotic selection applied, to show that it drastically improves chances of finding a correct clone.
Are the suggested experiments realistic in terms of time and resources? It would help if you could add an estimated cost and time investment for substantial experiments.
Repeating the transformation of the BAC and targeting cassette and assessing the recombination efficiency and sequencing should only require existing reagents and take less than a week or two to complete. Quantitative RT-PCR to assess the percentage of transcripts that have the synthetic intron spliced out would take a little more work. However, this should not be a considerable investment in time or resources for a standard microbiology laboratory and could be completed within a few weeks using modern techniques, such as that described in Londoño et al. 2016. Repeating all the experiments in parallel would be considerable work and would only be strictly necessary if the authors wish to emphasise the benefits of their method over the many others already in wide use.
Are the data and the methods presented in such a way that they can be reproduced?
Barring the omission of Table S1, which presumably includes exact information on the BACs modified and sequences used etc., there is sufficient other data and methods to allow the experiments to be repeated. Targeting the ESI procedure to the middle of exons is likely to have a bigger impact for smaller exons as the authors mention on lines 99-100. Making it clear which exon sizes for each gene were successfully targeted in this study would help give some idea of how significant a problem this might be. Perhaps Table S1 contains this information, but it was not provided. It would also help reviewers check the design strategies.
Are the experiments adequately replicated and statistical analysis adequate?
The replication and statistically analysis of the data as presented appear adequate. Figure Legends should state the statistic used to generate error bars.
Minor comments:
Specific experimental issues that are easily addressable. Are the promoters used in the vectors described universally functional? For example, is the PGK promoter functional in yeast?
Are prior studies referenced appropriately?
The manuscript may benefit from the referencing of BAC modification techniques from a wider variety of groups, such as those using CRISPR-guided recombineering (Pyne et al. 2015).
Are the text and figures clear and accurate?
The body text is very clear save minor typographical or grammatical errors. Regarding figures, some of the coloured text in Figure 1 is somewhat illegible when printed in grayscale.
Line 278 - The acronyms LAP and NLAP are not defined/explained.
Antibody section starting Line 282 may fit better next to Western Blot section.
Figure 2C - The blot images would benefit from arrows to indicate expected sizes of proteins.
Figure 3A - the graph may benefit from a dashed line at 100% to highlight that values are normalised to controls.
Figure 4 - The differences between panels B & C are unclear.
Figure 4E - The legend could provide a little more detail on cell cycle stage/status of the captured cells.
Do you have suggestions that would help the authors improve the presentation of their data and conclusions?
Lines 23-27 are somewhat unclear and feel out of context. Perhaps the authors could clarify this as a further advantage of using BACs instead of endogenous gene modifications.
While not affecting the factual content of the paper, I would advocate that the authors format the method described in Figure S3 into a more detailed text based layout similar to that seen in a typical Nature Methods article. However, this may depend on the format required by any eventual publishing journal. That all of the work the paper was carried out in human cell lines and using human genes is a further caveat, but the authors admit this in the discussion and one would assume that most mammalian cells would respond similarly in their ability to splice out the synthetic intron.
Significance
Describe the nature and significance of the advance (e.g. conceptual, technical, clinical) for the field.
This work is a formal description of a newer method that could be useful for many of those employing bacterial artificial chromosomes in numerous studies, such as gene regulation.
Place the work in the context of the existing literature (provide references, where appropriate).
This work builds on methodology previously published by the authors - a counter-selection two-step procedure (Bird et al. 2011). It sets out to formally describe a method merely mentioned as "BAC intronization" in a later paper by some of the authors (Zheng et al. 2014). Other alternative one-step procedures are also available, but present a different set of challenges (Lyozin et al. 2014). Some newer approaches, such as those using CRISPR-guided recombineering (Pyne et al. 2015) or systems that combine CRISPR and positive/negative selection cassettes (Wang et al. 2016) may be slightly more efficient, but are also more complex in their design.

State what audience might be interested in and influenced by the reported findings.
As a technology paper this work should have interest from a broad field of research. While the use of BACs could sometimes be considered more traditional in light of the explosion in CRISPR-based genome editing capabilities, it is definitely seeing a resurgence as the limitations of CRISPR in modifying large regions of genome become more apparent. Therefore, technologies that accelerate the modification of BACs could prove increasingly useful. As category of audience, all those involved in significant recombineering or gene/genome engineering would potentially benefit.

silencing
Turning a gene off so that it does not go through transcription and translation (gene expression) which prevents the production of its protein product (β-catenin) being made by the cell.
-
During embryonic development of both vertebrates and invertebrates, β-catenin regulates a variety of cellular processes, including organizer formation, cell fate specification, proliferation, and differentiation (1–9)
Schneider and colleagues identified that β-catenin regulates dorsal-ventral polarity in vertebrates (animals with backbones).<br> Later research identified that β-catenin is modulated by the Wnt signaling pathway. It plays a role in forming groups of embryonic cells that direct the initial formation of the neural plate (basis for the nervous system) and the complete body axis (head vs feet ends of an organism) of the animal.
-
In adult animals, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway participates in regeneration and tissue homeostasis; misregulation of this pathway can lead to degenerative diseases and cancer in humans (9–12)
Several studies identified the role of β-catenin in regeneration of tissues and its potential relationship to degenerative diseases and cancer, which are both related to regulation of cell division. Identification of active β-catenin in adult tissue is important for potential treatment of these disease.

-
In response to upstream cues, such as Wnt ligands binding to Frizzled receptors, β-catenin accumulates in nuclei (Fig. 1A) and invokes transcriptional responses that direct the specification and patterning of tissues (13, 14)
Stadeli and colleagues research indicates that β-catenin plays a major role in regulating the body pattern and head/tail orientation of cells during development.
-
constitutive degradation
The regulated breakdown of a cell or cellular product, which is used to control gene expression and ultimately cellular function. In this case, the breakdown of APC leads to an increase in β-catenin.
-
caused striking alterations in the anteroposterior (A/P) identity of regenerating tissues
Silencing of β-catenin, both dishevelled homologs (Smed-dvl-1;Smed-dvl-2), or APC (Smed-APC-1) disrupted the ability of the cells to determine whether they belonged in the front or back of the animal during regeneration.
-
Smed-dvl-1(RNAi);Smed-dvl-2(RNAi) worms also regenerated heads from both blastemas but displayed additional phenotypes, including ectopic and supernumerary photoreceptors in the anterior region.
Smed-dvl-1(RNAi);Smed-dvl-2(RNAi) planarian groups also developed two heads, as well as extra photoreceptor cells in locations where are they are not typically found on the anterior portion of the body.
-
We therefore used the anterior and posterior markers to investigate the onset of blastema differentiation in control and RNAi-treated trunk fragments (Fig. 2, A and B).
With the knowledge from the previous experiment that regulation of β-catenin occurs earlier in the Wnt signaling pathway, the researchers were able to use the anterior/posterior markers to identify the time period during which the stem cells of the blastema differentiated in both the control and experimental animals.
-
In control animals at 12 hours after amputation, the anterior marker was virtually undetectable, whereas the posterior marker was clearly evident in the posterior blastema; 24 hours after amputation, the two markers recapitulated the A/P specificity seen later during regeneration and in adult animals (Fig. 1, O and S; Fig. 2, A and B). However, in Smed-βcatenin-1(RNAi) trunks, the anterior marker was expressed at both ends by 12 hours and maintained throughout the experiment, whereas the posterior marker remained markedly reduced (Fig. 2, A and B). The reverse was observed in Smed-APC-1(RNAi) trunks (Fig. 2, A and B). Consistent with the inferred time window for β-catenin signaling, Smed-βcatenin-1 and Smed-APC-1 were expressed at both ends in wild-type animals by 12 hours (fig. S7). These results indicate that β-catenin and APC act very early to determine blastema identity.
Alvarado and colleagues surmised from the results of the previous experiment that β-catenin was regulated early in the blastema identify development. In comparing the migration and differentiation timing between both β-catenin and APC-1 with the control animals, they were able to confirm that indeed it occurred that blastema cell identity occurred very early.
-
We next used animals silenced for both Smed-βcatenin-1 and Smed-APC-1 to test whether the Smed-APC-1(RNAi) phenotype results from increased β-catenin activity.
In this set of experiments, Alvarado and colleagues were trying to identify if increased amounts of β-catenin regulates that expression of Smed-APC-1.
-
We then explored whether the β-catenin switch plays a role in blastema identity regardless of the A/P location or angle of amputation. Indeed, the head fragments of Smed-βcatenin-1(RNAi) and Smed-dvl-1(RNAi);Smed-dvl-2(RNAi) worms regenerated a head from the posterior wound (penetrance = 79%, n = 24; penetrance = 82%, n = 33, respectively), and the tail fragments of Smed-APC-1(RNAi) worms regenerated a tail from the anterior wound (penetrance = 67%, n = 27; Fig. 3, A to E, and movie S4). After longitudinal amputation along the midline, control animals formed a blastema along the A/P axis and regenerated mediolaterally (Fig. 3, F, J, N, and R). In contrast, Smed-βcatenin-1(RNAi) and Smed-dvl-1(RNAi);Smed-dvl-2(RNAi) worms regenerated anterior tissue and developed multiple ectopic heads along the lateral edge (Fig. 3, G, H, K, L, O, P, S, and T).
In this fourth set of experiments, the researchers wanted to identify the role of β-catenin at different amputation locations for the experiment animals while different genes were silenced and then comparing this to control animals with no genes silence but the same amputations. Amputations included removing the head or tail to see if the head or tail itself would regenerate. In addition, some animals were divided in half longitudinally (lenthwise) and some were divided in half mediolaterally (divided into anterior and posterior halves).
-
Our data indicate that β-catenin activity is regulated during lateral regeneration and that the β-catenin switch can dominantly misspecify regenerating tissues regardless of A/P position or amputation angle.
The results form the fourth set of amputation experiments suggests that β-catenin is regulated at locations of amputation.
-
Ectopic photoreceptors were visible in the tail of all (n = 20) Smed-βcatenin-1(RNAi) animals and none of the control animals (Fig. 4, G, H, M, and N). Intact RNAi-treated animals also exhibited ectopic lateral protrusions, formed a brain in the tail region, and expressed the anterior marker posteriorly (Fig. 4, I to L and O to R, and movie S6). The molecular basis for such a change of A/P polarity in an adult organism was previously unknown.
The results of the observations of the unamputated animals with silenced genes allowed the researchers to identify that β-catenin plays a role in the anterior/posterior identity of cells in adult animals. This mechanism was not previously known.
-
Together, our data demonstrate the fundamental importance of β-catenin in the maintenance of polarity and cell fate during tissue regeneration and homeostasis in planarians (fig. S8). Our findings reveal a dynamic control of β-catenin in adult animals that is not readily apparent during the progression of embryogenesis: The precise quantity and location of regenerating tissue is different for each individual and for each regeneration event, newly regenerated tissues must integrate with the old, and ongoing homeostatic cell turnover may require sustained instructive cues.
This research identified previously unknown roles of β-catenin. Previous research identified the role it plays in embryogenesis with regard to cell fate and migration. However, identification of its multiple roles in adult tissue regeneration and homeostasis was not previously identified.

-
We therefore observed unamputated (intact) worms 14 days after the final RNAi feeding.
In the fourth series of experiments using the various amputation location, it was noted that in some of the experimental animals that several photoreceptors and brains developed in the wrong location on the same animal. To understand why this happened, unamputated worms had the same genes silenced as the experimental animals and were observed for two weeks.
-
We noted that misspecified heads and tails in RNAi-treated worms moved independently from the rest of the animal, hence this tissue was functioning autonomously (movies S1 to S3). We conclude that silencing Smed-βcatenin-1, Smed-dvl-1(RNAi);Smed-dvl-2(RNAi), or Smed-APC-1 is sufficient to misspecify blastema identity.
Both heads and tails that developed in the wrong locations functioned separate from the the movements of the rest of the animal. The RNAi silencing changed the cellular identity of the stem cells so that they migrated to the wrong location and incorrect cell differentiation.
-
Smed-sFRP-1, a homolog of secreted Frizzled-related proteins (sFRP), was expressed in an arch of cells capping the anterior edge of the animal. In contrast, Smed-fz-4, a homolog of Frizzled receptors, was expressed at the posterior edge in a posterior-to-anterior gradient. We refer to Smed-sFRP-1 and Smed-fz-4 as the “anterior marker” and the “posterior marker,” respectively, in all subsequent analyses.
The use of the anterior and poster markers will allow the researchers to determine if posterior cells are indeed moving to the posterior end and if anterior cells are moving to the anterior end in the RNAi treated animals.
-
we used two markers identified during our in situ analyses that are specifically expressed at the anterior and posterior ends of intact and regenerating animals (Fig. 1, A, O, and S)
Genes that are expressed only at the anterior or posterior ends were tagged to identify their location in both control and experimental animals while they are regenerating. This allows the researchers to identify the extent to which the stem cells were affected when silencing the proteins. Researchers can compare the control animal's cell migration to the the cell migration in the experimental animals for each of the silenced genes and gene combinations.
-
The “posterior” head of Smed-βcatenin-1(RNAi) and Smed-dvl-1(RNAi);Smed-dvl-2(RNAi) animals contained a characteristically anterior nervous system and gut, as did the “anterior” head
The results of the anatomical analysis indicate that the head located in the posterior region in the experimental animals resembled cells usually found in the anterior region as part of the nervous system. This indicates that stem cells did not locate to the correct position for a head when these genes were silenced.
-
In contrast, the “anterior” tail of Smed-APC-1(RNAi) animals was devoid of discernible brain tissue and exhibited posterior structures, as did the “posterior” tail (Fig. 1, J and N)
By silencing this protein, stem cells were directed to both anterior and posterior regions of the body, but were directed to become anatomical tails, with not formation of brain tissue present in either end.
-
A/P misspecification
The cells that were supposed to be in the posterior end migrated to the anterior end of the animal, or vice versa.
-
To address whether these changes were superficial or reflected a fate transformation of internal cell types and organ systems, we used anatomical and molecular markers of A/P identity.
In order to determine whether the changes in anterior/posterior identity were temporary changes that influenced the cells to act like a different cell type or whether DNA expression itself was permanently change, Alvarado and colleagues examined the location of the anatomical structures that regenerated. In addition, they identified the active molecular markers, which are chemicals that will help identify the activity of cells in a specific area to determine what type of cell they are. In this research, the markers direct the cells where to go (anterior or posterior). Some are active only for certain time periods of the regeneration process.
-
On the other hand, Smed-APC-1(RNAi) animals regenerated tails from both amputation planes
Silencing fo the Smed-APC-1 resulted in each end of the animal developing a tail.

-
Hence, loss of APC leads to a rise in β-catenin levels that is sufficient to drive transcriptional responses (15)
This early research provides evidence for the importance of chemical signaling pathways as the major form of cell-to-cell communication and play a role in the body throughout an animal's lifetime.
-
Dishevelled has multiple functions but plays an essential role as a positive regulator of β-catenin by inhibiting the destruction complex (16)
Wallingford and colleagues found evidence for the important role that the protein known as Dishevelled plays in cell fate (how cells know what type of cell to become); how cells know where to go (head or tail), and how cells interact with each other in the animal body. Dishevelled has been found to play this same role across many animal species, which indicates its importance.

Digg's v4 release on August 25, 2010, was marred by site-wide bugs and glitches. Digg users reacted with hostile verbal opposition. Beyond the release, Digg faced problems due to so-called "power users" who would manipulate the article recommendation features to only support one another's postings, flooding the site with articles only from these users and making it impossible to have genuine content from non-power users appear on the front page. Frustrations with the system led to dwindling web traffic, exacerbated by heavy competition from Facebook, whose like buttons started to appear on websites next to Digg's.[21] High staff turnover included the departure of head of business development Matt Van Horn, shortly after v4's release.[22]

Green knight challenged King Arthur to a beheading game. A beheading game is a trope or of medieval romance in which the players exchange blows which could decapitate their opponent. The most famous example is in the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. He cuts the knight’s head off in a single blow; then, the beheaded knight picks his head up and instructs Gawain to seek him out in one year and one day so he may return the blow.

Since trade groups draw in a quite certain gathering of individuals, they’re extraordinary spots to search for applicants with exceptional aptitudes or interests. This, thus, chops down the time you’ll spend scouting and guarantees you’ll locate a superior applicant quicker and simpler. Optimize Your Site Your site is your biggest resource, so why not use it to get the message out about your vacant position? In the event that you don’t have a Careers page, your area of expertise should work with the organization’s tech or IT group to make one at this point. In the event that you do have a Careers page, be certain it includes a compact, elegantly composed set of working responsibilities that will interest possible competitors. Recollect that there are many dry, slow sets of expectations out there, which implies you’ll do well to make yours drawing in and captivating – consider recruiting proficient journalists in the event that you need help. The more you can make your set of working responsibilities energizing, the almost certain it is you’ll draw in all around qualified, drew in, intrigued up-and-comers who will smooth out your scouting procedure and make it simpler to fill your vacant position a lot quicker. Catch Up With Intrigued Leads In the event that you have leads intrigued by your task, make certain to catch up with them in like manner. Keeping in touch with the leads who contact your organization about an occupation is a brilliant method to prop the energy up and guarantee these gifted candidates consider your to be as a drew in and dynamic business. While there are many approaches to stay in contact with intrigued up-and-comers, probably the most practical are welcoming possibility to buy into a bulletin, lining up after a meeting with email, and making a pre-programmed message that thanks intrigued contender for their applications. Guaranteeing your area of expertise is dynamic about getting the telephone and calling up-and-comers can help, too. Take advantage of Innovation There are many approaches to enroll new applicants utilizing the web.

In light of our examination, we realize that each individual we converse with is an ideal choice for the activity. Advocating Straightforwardness We’ve all run over employments that look excessively great to be valid. This absence of genuineness, shockingly, prompts numerous up-and-comers being suspicious about jobs they’re advertised. Talent scouts get this, which is the reason they champion straightforwardness. It bodes well. You wouldn’t have any desire to be told about work that sounded intriguing however was totally unique when you discovered increasingly about it, okay? Since talent scouts are specialists in your industry, they are well prepared to introduce openings for work obviously and answer any inquiries precisely. This gives the competitor certainty and guarantees the enrollment procedure is a smooth one.
Headhunting is a practice that involves prospecting a candidate for a specific position. using effective Headhunting techniques the hiring becomes effective.

The main idea of using logical pointers is that the DBMS usesa fixed identifier that does not change for each tuple in its indexentry. Then, as shown in Fig. 5a, the DBMS uses an indirectionlayer that maps a tuple’s identifier to the HEAD of its version chain.This avoids the problem of having to update all of a table’s indexesto point to a new physical location whenever a tuple is modifiedHEADINDEXVERSION CHAINSHEADINDIRECTION(a)Logical PointersHEADINDEXVERSION CHAINSHEAD(b)Physical PointersFigure 5: Index Management– The two ways to map keys to tuples in aMVCC are to use logical pointers with an indirection layer to the versionchain HEAD or to use physical pointers that point to an exact version.(even if the indexed attributes were not changed). Only the mappingentry needs to change each time. But since the index does not pointto the exact version, the DBMS traverses the version chain fromthe HEAD to find the visible version. This approach is compatiblewith any version storage scheme. As we now discuss, there are twoimplementation choices for this mapping
Logical Pointers:
logical pointer approach is better for write-intensive workloads, as the DBMS updates the secondary indexes only when a transaction modifies the indexes attributes.
-
Tuple Id (TupleId):One drawback of thePKeypointers is thatthe database’s storage overhead increases as the size of a tuple’sprimary key increases, since each secondary index has an entirecopy of it. In addition to this, since most DBMSs use an order-preserving data structure for its primary key indexes, the cost ofperforming the additional look-up depends on the number of entries.An alternative is to use a unique 64-bit tuple identifier instead ofthe primary key and a separate latch-free hash table to maintain themapping information to the tuple’s version chain HEAD.
Logical Pointers: TupleId
-
Primary Key (PKey):With this, the identifier is the same as thecorresponding tuple’s primary key. When the DBMS retrieves anentry from a secondary index, it performs another look-up in thetable’s primary key index to locate the version chain HEAD. If asecondary index’s attributes overlap with the primary key, then theDBMS does not have to store the entire primary key in each entry.
Logical Pointers: PKey
-
Newest-to-Oldest (N2O):The alternative is to store the newestversion of the tuple as the version chain’s HEAD (see Fig. 3b). Sincemost transactions access the latest version of a tuple, the DBMS doesnot have to traverse the chain. The downside, however, is that thechain’s HEAD changes whenever a tuple is modified. The DBMSthen updates all of the table’s indexes (both primary and secondary)to point to the new version. As we discuss in Sect. 6.1, one canavoid this problem through an indirection layer that provides a singlelocation that maps the tuple’s latest version to physical address. Withthis setup, the indexes point to tuples’ mapping entry instead of theirphysical locations. This works well for tables with many secondaryindexes but increases the storage overhead
N2O
-
thechain’s HEAD is either the newest or oldest version
Version Storage: head of chain

In a writing class, you also have to learn to be greedy as a reader, to ask for the good stuff from someone else’s head if they don’t give it to you, to demand that they share their cookies
It is common for people to beat around the bush rather than just being straight forwards with the truth

Is that pleasant or amusing for them? No, it isn't.
I think what's most offensive about this write-up is not Mark's assumption that whites and men "just have it fine and dandy!" — it's that he assumes minorities, say, are uniformly pro-identitarianism and are fully on board with everything he's saying about what they supposedly experience. It reveals how he's never bothered to peep his head above the trenches to see who the other side actually is.

But I end up coming back to this simple stuff because I can’t shake the feeling that digital literacy needs to start with the mirror and head-checks before it gets to automotive repair or controlled skids. Because it is these simple behaviors, applied as habits and enforced as norms, that have the power to change the web as we know it, to break our cycle of reaction and recognition, and ultimately to get even our deeper investigations off to a better start.
I think this is a pretty solid conclusion to this article, and while I agree that there needs to be a lot of checking into your sources to see if they're false or not, or who they're posted by, etc, part of me has to wonder if we could avoid doing this if there wasn't a need for "fake news" or misinformation. Obviously there's always going to be a lot of people out there misinformed, but people wouldn't need to verify their sources if it wasn't such a rampant problem in the first place.
I do agree with him though that people, me included, need to do a better job at vetting the articles and websites they get information from.

What do I mean by that? Let’s use an analogy: which technique do you think would prevent more car accidents? A three-second check every time you switch lanes
I found the three-second rule check similar to changing lanes using the mirror-and-head-check very useful and interesting. As the blog states it is very important to check all the articles for the facts before we share something on the social media or with friends, family and colleagues. As it is a habit for drivers to check the rearview mirror, people should start making the fact check as a habit before they share something online which will help in controlling and reducing the fake news and it also helps to maintain their online reputation with their family and friends.

Discussion along these lines continued after the panel itself, as a few of the attendees convinced me to head out to dinner rather than straight up to bed (thanks for that, it was the first real meal of the day)
I know that this is supposed to be funny commentary on the chaos on conventions, and I understand, having experienced some of that same craziness during my time at FanimeCon.
But it's as good of an illustration as any on a negative perception of the furry fandom, the inability of its members to take care of themselves. While this isn't as much a widespread ideal as a minor detail, there's a stereotype around furries as being unwashed, non deodorised, and messy. Take, for example, the idea that people have sex in their fursuits. See this comic involving Grey White, which contain a slight, non-graphic sexual allusion, so click at your own discretion. I'd rather not go into the details, as this research project does not deal with the sexual side of the furry fandom, but I feel as if it is necessary to at least address that specific prevailing concern about the fandom. There is some truth to the above statements, amongst specific members of the furry fandom, and of the science fiction conventions and community which preceded and spawned the "furry fandom" as we know it today. I don't think I need to tell anyone that nerds can smell like shit at times, and it's a concerning pattern. Does this stem from social awkwardness, lack of care, the escapism qualities.
(I need to come back to this later, as I kind of lost my train of thought)

Adult learners, both inside and outside the classroom, need this silent period, too. Teachers shouldn't be afraid when their students don't participate in debates in class – perhaps they are simply acquiring the language. Moreover, putting pressure on the learner to speak before they are ready will result in anxiety.
Just because students are being quiet and not responding vocally does not mean they are not thinking and making sense of everything around them. I remember when I transition to general ed from bilingual ed, I was super quiet. A lot of times I was observing and listening to sentence structure and pronunciation. It was also very nerve wreaking when the teacher would call on me and expect an answer right away in front of the entire class. There was a period where I remember translating in my head from one language to the other and know it almost seems automatic.
