Portuguese man of war miami beach washup2/18/2024 The authoritative record of NPR’s programming is the audio record.

Visit our website terms of use and permissions pages at for further information. Sail away, sail away, sail away.Ĭopyright © 2023 NPR. She says they're mostly harmless, unlike their relatives, the Portuguese man-of-war, though she still advises against touching these tiny, shipwrecked sailors.ĮNYA: (Singing) Sail away, sail away, sail away. They definitely cannot choose where they want to go, hence why they're getting washed up on the beach, right? It takes the right currents and wind to - I guess wrong, for them - to wash them up.īLOCK: Kalman Passarelli says it usually is a springtime phenomenon.ĬHANG: And if you happen to be at the beach and stumble upon a few, don't worry. KALMAN PASSARELLI: They rely hundred percent on the wind and the currents to move them around. And one is for defense.ĬHANG: A cooperative of sorts, and a reminder that life on Earth is truly weird.īLOCK: As for why they're showing up on California shores, well, it's their drifter lifestyle. And they all work together, kind of like coral, and they all have a different purpose. And if you look really closely, all those little things hanging down that look like tentacles are all different organisms within the same colony. KALMAN PASSARELLI: It's a colony of animals. She explained that what looks like a single creature is actually a colony comprised of many different individuals. As they bob along, they slurp up plankton that gets tangled in their tentacles.ĬHANG: And if you look a little closer, as biologists tend to do, Kalman Passarelli says the Velella velella is truly more than meets the eye. And it's thought to be somewhat, like, of a camouflage and maybe even kind of a sunscreen because they're so close to the surface.īLOCK: Close to the surface because, when they're out at sea, they float on top of the water, sails above the surface, tentacles dangling below. KALMAN PASSARELLI: They're a bright, beautiful blue. And in addition to the animals' tiny sails, she says their color is striking. Velella velella.ĬHANG: Kalman Passarelli says she's seen those washing ashore lately near the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, where she works, in San Pedro, Calif. Say it with me, Melissa, really, really fast. Small little blue balloon-type animals are washing ashore in Volusia County and while the Portuguese man o’ war may be beautiful they can pack a pretty serious sting. KALMAN PASSARELLI: The scientific name is Velella velella. JULIANNE KALMAN PASSARELLI: And that's where the common name comes from - by-the-wind sailor.īLOCK: By-the-wind sailor - or to a biologist, like Julianne Kalman Passarelli. But these coin-sized creatures have a distinctive, clear mohawk sticking up from their bodies - a sail, if you will. All month long, huge fleets of tiny sailors have been washing up on Southern California beaches.

Minecraft steve head2/18/2024 (You could add a chin strap too if you want it really secure) So, now you have a Minecraft head but it will still probably rattle around on your own head, you’ll need to create an internal dome shape for it to be stable. Leave the head to dry, again overnight is preferable. Once the Enderman head was dry I added the plastic for the eyes (just taped it in place on the inside of the box)įreshly painted Steve from Minecraft Head.(for the Enderman I got the Little Man to paint most of it grey, bar the black squares, then I added them in later).(for the ‘Steve head’, I had the Little Man paint in all the hair first then I added a darker/lighter shade to some of the squares to make it look pixillated).Get out your paints and paint the appropriate squares.I blame the optional beers Step 6: Painting Ok, Ok, I forgot to take a photo of me marking out the paper mache’d box, so here’s me marking out a different one for illustration purposes. Cut out the appropriate squares of the eyes (on the Enderman head the eyes are 3 blocks wide, I cut them all out and added the purple card and plastic later).In my case, the box was 25cm long so each square was 3.125cm wide.Measure the length of one of its sides.Drink some of the beer** (again optional, but advised).Keep applying layers and painting with the mixture until everywhere is covered.(you could also dip the paper into the mixture instead) Cover the box with small torn pieces of the newspaper and paint the ½ and ½ mixture from the bowl over the top of them.Using a bowl, ½ fill with PVA glue ½ fill with water and mix it up.Using a paint brush coat the outside of the box with PVA glue.(this also strengthens the head for future robust play fighting) Marking the eye level with small holes at this point could be helpful but isn’t essential as the head will need internal padding to fit later Step 3: Paper MacheĪ lot of boxes are shiny on the outside and will not take paint directly onto them so I’d suggest at this point covering it in Paper Mache. Sample Steve head design Step 2: Checking the box sizeĬheck your box is the right size by placing it on the head of the future Enderman (or other Minecraft character), it should be snug enough but not restrictive (the Little Man gave me the thumbs up here). There’s plenty more online, just google the character you’d like.or if you want the Steve one you can find it.If you want a good Enderman design you can find it here.Select a Template you’d like to use from online, they are all a little different. Depending on the design you may need purple paper/purple see-through material (for the Enderman)īe aware other small Children will try to steal your box (see above).Newspapers (the less dark print the better for most designs).The right sized box for your head (Daddy used a Pampers nappy box, the Little Man needed a smaller box).So Daddy Poppins decided he was going to sit down with his little one and not only have fun wearing but also making it. There’s plenty of people online showing you how to make Minecraft heads but a lot of them are just printing a template and sticking it onto a box. How to make a Minecraft Head for a Halloween outfit Hopefully, this head will survive more than 1 Halloween and we can spend endless hours play fighting with them on. Of course, we could have just bought a head online but this project allowed me to spend some quality father-son time with the Little Man and combined 3 things he loves I’ve decided to be Steve (the main character), as he wears a T-shirt and Jeans, I didn’t fancy having to buy a whole green outfit that I’d never use again just to be a Creeper (even if they’ve cooler heads) ……Right, I’ll be a Minecraft guy too and we can make 2 at once. ‘because the eye-holes are too big’ and although you can see out it ‘doesn’t look exactly like an Enderman’ So Daddy goes online and checks out what Endermen are and then, (being lazy) he checks if anyone else has made them before….Yup, lots of people have and they are all really complicated with lights or my little fella doesn’t like them (Its a box on his head, how hard can it be?) ‘Daddy I’d like to be an Enderman for Halloween’

3d comic the chaperone. episode 162/18/2024 However, in response to certain stimuli or in the presence of specific inhibitors such as geldanamycin (GA), Hsp90 can direct its bound clients to degradation through the UPS 22, 23, 24, 25. Hsp90 usually stabilises and promotes correct folding of its client proteins with the help of chaperones such as Hsp70 and Hsp40, which initially recognise substrates and transfer them to Hsp90 in a process facilitated by the cochaperone Hop 21. 1c): The N-terminal domain (Hsp90 NTD) bearing an ATP-binding site the middle domain (Hsp90 MD) mainly responsible for substrate:protein interactions and the C-terminal domain (Hsp90 CTD), bearing the dimerization site 20. It is found as a dimer, with each monomer composed of three domains (Supplementary Fig. Hsp90 is also a very abundant, well-conserved chaperone. After this process, the Hsp70:substrate binds cochaperone Bag1, which carries a Bag domain that interacts with Hsp70 and a Ubl domain that links the complex to the proteasome 19. Once the Hsp70:substrate complex is formed, it must interact with CHIP for substrate ubiquitination. Several studies have shown that in stressful conditions, CHIP overexpression correlates directly with proteasomal degradation of substrates such as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) 11, glucocorticoid receptor (GR) 12, the E2A transcription factor 13, tau 14, huntingtin and ataxin 15, telomerase 16, apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) 17, phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) 18 and p53 6. The two domains are connected by a very flexible, well-conserved linker.ĬHIP-mediated degradation in Hsp70 has been characterised in detail 10. 1b) its substrate-binding domain (Hsp70 SBD 25 kDa) recognizes the client protein and acts like forceps to trap it, and the nucleotide-binding domain (Hsp70 NBD 45 kDa) controls opening and closing of the Hsp70 SBD. It is a small, two-domain ATPase (70 kDa) (Supplementary Fig. Hsp70 is a universally conserved chaperone with important functions in protein folding and disaggregation 9, but whose pivotal role in protein degradation is only now beginning to be understood. Although it acts as a homodimer, CHIP has an unusual asymmetric structure with a triangular, concave shape in which one U-box domain is blocked, which might have biological consequences 7. It is the latter which connects to an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, which in turn ubiquitinates Hsp70- and Hsp90-bound client proteins and targets them to the proteasome for degradation 8. 1a): the TPR domain which interacts with chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90 a coiled-coil domain involved in CHIP dimerization and a U-box domain. CHIP has three domains 7 (Supplementary Fig. The cochaperone C terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) is the best-characterised member of this type of E3 ligases 5, 6. Chaperone-assisted UPS involves interaction of the chaperone-bound substrate with a cochaperone, which acts as an E3 ligase and assists substrate ubiquitination prior to its delivery to the proteasome 4. The fate of the chaperone-bound client protein is dictated by interactions with cochaperones, which drive the substrate towards folding or degradation.ĭegradation operates via one of the two general protein degradation pathways: the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS), or autophagy. Molecular chaperones are central to proteostasis, as they are involved not only in protein folding but also in degradation 2, 3. Interruption of this process contributes to a variety of pathologies including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer 1. Protein homeostasis, or proteostasis, is the delicate balance of synthesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation of intra- and extracellular proteins. These complexes are inherently flexible, which is important for the ubiquitination process. The 3D structures of the two complexes, obtained using a combination of cryoelectron microscopy and crosslinking mass spectrometry, showed the substrate located between the chaperone and the cochaperone, suggesting a ubiquitination mechanism in which the chaperone-bound substrate is presented to CHIP. Both ternary complexes (Hsp70:p53-TMGST:CHIP and Hsp90:p53-TMGST:CHIP) ubiquitinated the substrate at a higher efficiency than in the absence of the chaperones. We generated complexes between the chaperones (Hsp70 or Hsp90), the cochaperone CHIP and, as substrate, a p53 variant containing the GST protein (p53-TMGST). This is the case for Hsp70 and Hsp90 which, in concert with the cochaperone CHIP, direct their bound substrate to degradation through ubiquitination. Some molecular chaperones are involved not only in assisting the folding of proteins but also, given appropriate conditions, in their degradation.

Sav wolf rpg save editor2/17/2024 Sorry if this is a long rant, but I looked for answers online and all the first results are plugins for saving to local folders like in the older versions of RPG maker MV. - Save Editor: RPGMaker rvdata2 rpgsave rxdata Renpy UnrealEngine Wolf Unity save dat sav rsv other files. What would stop say, RPG maker MV from transfering those save files into any different future projects I try to do? So it worked like a dream, but how did RPG maker MV know to move the old save files from the old version of the game to the new one without any user input? What's weirder to me is, when I gave a test version of my game to a friend, he was looking for a place to transfer the save files from his previous version of the game to the newer version I gave to him.Įxcept somehow, RPG maker MV somehow knew to use the old save files from the previous folder into the new folder. For anyone who love to cheat or edit saves, but cant find trainer or save editor for your RPGM or any other software. I noticed with the newer RPG maker MV that the save folder no longer exists, and instead the saves are located elsewhere on the computer? I'm guessing Appdata but I'm unsure? An answer to this would be great. The Wolf RPG Editor pro version that was released alongside Ver3 also includes functions that are unavailable in the free version of the editor. I translate WOLF RPG Editor Perfect Guide in English - GitHub - unlitcolor/WOLF-RPG-EditorPerfect-Guide: I translate WOLF RPG Editor Perfect Guide in English. (TL DR I use old RPG maker MV and unfamiliar with newer versions) Now because my new game requires the newer addition that RPG maker MV had where it auto-caps the game to run at the desired 60FPS frame-rate, I'm deploying my games via the new version of RPG maker MV. Meaning when I tell my playerbase to update their game folders they just know to update the save folder with the new save files. Thread starter Surgy Start date 1 2 3 Go to page. WOLF RPG Editor English is a game construction tool that can create complex role playing games. The English translation is provided by Velella Himmel (vgperson) and edited by Jeffrey Casey (Widderune). So I'll start off by saying I usually use older version fo RPG maker MV because newer ones lag more on deployment, the older version of RPG maker MV use a folder called saves and save the files in there. The original Japanese WOLF RPG was developed and published by SmokingWOLF ( SilverSecond ).

Top 10 family movies on netflix2/17/2024 Jesper’s quite the jerk himself, but everything changes when he meets a lone toymaker in the woods. The film follows weasely postal worker Jesper (voiced incredibly by Jason Schwartzman) forced to deliver mail on a frozen island full of jerks-including child jerks. No matter what time of year you’re reading this, BAFTA-winning animated Christmas miracle of a film Klaus is perfect to watch right now. All that changes when their journeys put them in front of a new threat Drago (Djimon Hounsou) and Hiccup’s long lost mother Valka (Cate Blanchett), culminating to one rip-roaring dragon army climax. Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and Toothless are a much stronger duo here, as is their village which has seen Vikings and dragons living harmoniously. In a mature move, this superb sequel to the 2010 DreamWorks adventure flick grew its characters up five years for a slightly darker story. You might be tempted to watch the sequel afterwards. It seems like a bargain bin idea for a straight-to-DVD family film but Oscar-winning director George Miller ( Mad Max: Fury Road, Babe: Pig in the City) and Sydney-based visual effects studio Animal Logic went to the highest gear on this absolute ripper of a tap-dancing musical, earning commercial success as well as the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Upon discovering an old treasure-hunting journal, a group of kids lead their own expedition into the unknown ruins-one that might reconnect them with their Hawaiian heritage.ĭancing penguins. Want to give kids that Indiana Jones experience that doesn’t include nightmare-fuelling images of melting faces and ripped-out hearts? You’ll find it here with this old-school adventure flick gorgeously shot on location. From the Emmy-winning director of Fleabag and based on the novel series by Nancy Springer, this film’s powered by strong talent and-as any sleuth can deduce-results in one wildly entertaining flick. Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown leads this lively detective film as Enola Holmes, Sherlock’s teenage sister, who takes it upon herself to track down her missing mother. The best Sherlock film for youngsters isn’t even led by Sherlock. Guaranteed to light up a child’s imagination while continually jabbing a parent’s funny bone. Which is great, until it malfunctions and causes food-related weather events like spaghetti-nados and-you guessed it-raining meatballs. Following a wannabe scientist with huge ambitions, his latest invention miraculously turns water into food. As well as been a gentle and downright lovely story, the film’s imaginative way of depicting the world of a 6cm tall person will have kids and adults alike reconsidering the things we throw away.īoth hilarious and visually delicious, this animated food comedy erupts with creativity like some sort of confetti volcano. However, we thought we’d highlight the studio’s underappreciated adaptation of British classic The Borrowers, which follows the friendship between a bed-ridden boy and the thumb-sized girl who lives under the floorboards. You could throw a dart at the entire Studio Ghibli collection on Netflix and recommend whatever film it landed on. * The best new shows and movies coming to Netflix Here are 20 great family films currently on Netflix designed to entertain both kids and adults. Just remember, as you think back to your days of acne and locker combinations, what it took to make it through to the other side and into your adulthood.Why settle for any movie when you’ve got great movies at your disposal? That’s solid logic when it comes to family films-an often unappreciated genre that holds some of the best storytelling you’ll find. Hey, you can even find a teen sci-fi movie with elements of time-travel in there. (Especially for those romantic comedy fans: With movies like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Dude, Candy Jar and The Kissing Booth, Netflix has swept all corners of the rom-com.) Whether you want a heart-tugging romantic movie, an awkward cringe comedy, an all-encompassing melodrama or a movie that uses high school as a metaphor for society at large, Netflix has a top film that’ll fit the bill. The best teen movies on Netflix do some of these, if not all. Or maybe it’s because teenagers have absolutely no filter so the filthiest jokes come out of their mouths. Maybe it’s because the first blush of love is always the strongest. Maybe it’s because emotions during that age are so raw and powerful, they leave an impression, even years later. It's hard to pin down why these movies are so comforting. And there's nothing more comforting than a swoony, cringey, hilarious teen movie. What most of us long for is a big comfort-watch. In these times, we're no longer looking for prestige viewing. |
