KDA 22: The Right Questions

Kalrick had begun compiling a laundry list of things that weren't adding up. Things that didn't quite make sense, or couldn't remember, or just felt weird. Somehow, the question of what he was doing before the possession took place, slipped his mind.

"You asked me why I allowed a demonic in me," Kalrick started.

"Yes," Randle answered. "I didn't mean for it to sound like that, but I do still want to know-"

"Yeah I don't give a shit about that."

He blinked in surprise.

"What I mean is, what was I working on before the event happened? You seem to know more than I do about it, even though you thought I would want this."

"That's not what I meant, man."

"Ok, sure. But what was I looking for? You said it yourself, it couldn't have happened accidentally. What was I looking for that led up to this?"

"I don't remember that well either," He rubbed his arm. "It's been a long time since then."

"Bullshit," he scoffed. "That's not what you've been insinuating."

"Look, I just don't want to open up old problems when we could just move on and focus on the now."

"We had a fight, didn't we."

Randle looked down, still holding his arm.

"I don't care about the fight, you don't even need to tell me what it was about, just tell me what the hell we were looking for."

"Do you promise not to ask about what we fought about?"

"Yeah, whatever, I won't."

"Uhg, I'm being for real, Kal! I literally do not want to get into it."

"Yes, I promise I won't ask about what the fight was." He rolled his eyes. "As long as it doesn't have anything to do with what I was looking for."

"It doesn't, I swear. It's just really embarrassing and I'd rather die than bring it up."

"Then get to it."

"Fine. You were looking into finding someone you used to talk to. You said the demonic were the only ones who could help you, and needed to find something from a long time ago."

"Find something?"

"You didn't know what it was, that's why you were looking for it. You said you'd recognize it when you found it, and that you met him before. I don't know who or what you were looking for, but you were very determined you'd find it."

"Ok, so I'm gathering you stopped looking with me because of a fight, but did I find it?"

"You said you wouldn't ask!"

"I'm not! It doesn't matter what it was about, it was probably dumb anyway. I just want to know if I found anything relating to what I was looking for."

"I don't know, man. We fought before I could find anything useful. I wasn't much use anyway, I mostly just found books or research, and you'd tell me if it was useless or helpful."

"And did this happen really suddenly, like one day I'm researching, the next I'm picking a fight for no reason and telling you to stop helping me?"

He narrowed his eyes. "I thought you said you didn't remember."

You fucking moron.

Was what he wanted to say. He bit his tongue to hold back the rage filled comment.

"And you don't think," Kalrick said as calmly as possible. "That maybe it was a little too coincidental? Of, I don't know, the topic I was researching and suddenly I'm acting wildly out of character?"

"I'm sorry if demonic possession isn't the first conclusion I come up with. Even most possession is solved with a basic cleansing, meditation, and some visualization. And I did try to help you, but it was a little difficult when you told me to fuck off."

"Just," He shook his head, trying not to think about all the things making him angry. "What stuff was I looking at? This feels really important."

"It's probably still here in your room. I think it's the stuff on the desk."

"Why didn't you think to tell me this earlier?"

"I mean, it didn't go that great when we went out for coffee."

That was different. Randle also insinuated he allowed this to happen on his own free will, as if he wanted this all to happen. Whatever.

"Alright. Let's just get every book I have and start sorting. Maybe you can go see if 5K wants to help now that he's smoked?"

"Can he even read?"

"Why don't you ask him and find out?"

Randle shot him a cynical look back.

"He passed high school, so it's safe to assume he can."

"You worked customer service, Kal. You and I both know the dumbest people alive can graduate."

"Just go get him."

With a reluctant sigh, he left to collect 5K. Kalrick gathered the books, papers, and anything that could be of use and displayed them in a large pile on the ground. Useful, not useful. He didn't need a maybe pile, he'd be able to tell just by looking.

The other two returned and he directed his organization. 5K of course, didn't know anything about demonolatry and explaining "you'll just feel it", didn't seem to go through. 5K ended up just holding whatever he picked up and pretending to flip through, before passing it to Kalrick.

He opened the grimior and listed the most important questions he could think of.

Where did the money come from

Who is the sigil

What is Valery not saying

What is mom hiding

Why is everyone too helpful

Randle raised an eyebrow at the last one listed. "What do you mean by that one. No one has found what you're looking for."

"Everyone's too nice." Kalrick mumbled. "They're all looking at me funny."

"I'm not."

Kalrick said nothing, and continued to peruse the books. A lot of them were about connecting and working with the demonic. Some of them were self-help books, which seemed a bit out of place. A few were about grounding techniques, while others were the opposite and about leaving the body to connect with mental and spiritual.

"Ohhhh," 5K exclaimed. "Look who's a bad boy." He held up a pink slip of paper.

"What is that?" Randle asked.

"Oh," Kalrick recognized it. "It's a pink slip. At our elementary it was like a warning level before having to get sent home for being bad. If you get too many you got suspended, but mine never got that bad."

"Mine did once," 5K reminisced. "Kept pop, pop, popping plastic water bottles and someone thought it was a gunshot and we had to drill. When they found out it was me, it was like week of suspension."

"I think I remember that. I didn't know it was you though, I thought that was Brandon. We didn't start hanging out till, what, high school?."

"I am Brandon. For some reason I forget you even attended the same school as me before high school. I don't ever remember seeing you."

"I honestly forgot you had a real name, but I also don't remember a lot growing up. It's really blurry. Apparently I was busy," He paused, reading the pink slip in 5K's hand. "Passing notes in class when repeatably told not to."

He frowned. The fact it was in his apartment and not left at home with his mom meant something. It sparked a familiar idea, but just couldn't get it burning enough. He needed more kindling to understand yet another thing that didn't make sense.

"What?" Randle asked. "That's pretty basic to get caught with."

"Who was I passing notes to?"

"Is it important?"

"I think it is. It's with the rest of this stuff, and I didn't have any friends in grade school. So who was I talking to?"

"It could've been anyone, man. It's been over a decade."

"No," Kalrick shook his head. "This feels important, and I know for sure I wasn't talking to anyone back then. I was very isolated."

"Easy to get into weird shit when you're lonely." 5K remarked. "Or the wrong kind of shit."

"Couldn't agree more." Kalrick nodded. "And this for sure has something to do with what I'm looking for."

He took the slip and put it in his bag. It was extra important.

"Leaving?" 5K asked.

"No, I'm keeping it for later though," He stopped to look at the time. "Shit, I actually should leave before my mom finishes dinner and sees I'm gone."

"Mommy issues over here." He teased.

"As if you don't." He rebounded. "Didn't you move out and in with me because your mom?"

He raised his tremoring hands as if to say you got me. "Yeah, she was stressing me out by spending the rent money on drugs, then I end up with the same problem. You left for the same reason. Couldn't stop fighting with your mom."

"When has he never not been constantly fighting with her?" Randle chimed in.

He was right. He couldn't remember the last time they hadn't had something to argue about. But both of them got over it pretty fast, typically.

"Whatever," Kalrick strapped his backpack on, and readied himself for the exhaustion of teleportation. "Let's pick this up later or else I'll never be allowed to leave the house again."

He left his friends in the building and made his way to the front doorway. It felt easier somehow, as if it were a better angle. Eyes closed, he envisioned the entrance to the dirt road, and sent himself on the way.

unprompted.

(veera is a femme fatale, so I have plenty of jams that vibe with her personality & aesthetic!)

warning label / neoni. my brain is a little bit toxic, you should be cautious / learn to love the hell I'm raising / from coffin to the cradle, I got demons, I got angels / I should have been born with a warning label.

puscifer / rev 22:20. don't be aroused by my confession, unless you don't give a good god damn about redemption / she'll suck you dry & still you cry to be back in her bosom, to do it again / she'll make you weep & moan & cry, to be back in her bosom; to do it again / saviors & saints, devils & heathens alike, she'll eat you alive / what is she, what is she, what is she waiting for?

villain / kda. on the low, only love myself, no more / type to risk my life, not afraid to die / I'm a straight up villain / yeah, no feelin / Is it really a surprise if I'm playing with your mind? / & I treat you like a prize then I throw you to the side? / & get happy when you're sad? / in control, that's how I like it & I'm never letting go / hear my voice up in your head / just do what I say, follow me; I'll lead the way.

maneater / nelly furtado. everybody look at me, me / I wanna see you all on your knees, knees / make you want all of her love / she's a maneater / when she asks for something boy, she means it; even if you never ever seen it.

horns / bryce fox. got a touch like a thorn, 'cause the girl; she's hiding horns / she's the beast in my bones / she's the fire in the sin / she gets everything she wants / & I sell my soul for the high / she can crush every hope, got her heels stompin' down my throat.

bring me to life / evanescence. how can you see into my eyes like open doors? / (save me) save me from the nothing I've become / breathe into me & make me real / I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside / darling, only you are the life among the dead / I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems; got to open my eyes to everything / don't let me die here, there must be something more.

(wren is still a heavy work in progress, but when some more tunes come up I'll be sure to add them to this post!)

The Cinderella run isn’t over: EG prove they can go head-to-head with one of the world’s top teams at VCT Masters Tokyo

It's safe to say that the past year has been turbulent for Evil Geniuses. The squad is now demonstrating they can hold their own against some of the finest rosters in the world after going from being one of the most inconsistent VALORANT teams in the Americas League to just making it to VCT Masters Tokyo. In what many are considering a massive upset, VCT America’s third-place squad unseated Korea’s DRX from their group-stage throne on June 12. EG not only slayed the group stage demons, but they did it in 2-0 fashion as well. After their victory over DRX, EG are now the first team at VCT Masters Tokyo to advance out of the group stage and secure a top-eight spot. https://twitter.com/EvilGeniuses/status/1668174942892961793 EG faced heavy criticism throughout the VCT Americas season due to controversial roster changes and strategies. In contrast, DRX were one of the most consistent teams in the entire world throughout the first part of the year. But as we know, VALORANT is a momentum-based game at all levels, and after these two teams had opposite experiences in their regular season leagues, their trajectory is continuing to go in very different directions. While EG have only gotten better over the last month, with them finally starting to gel together and the roster looking like a well-rounded unit, DRX have had noticeable issues that may have cost them the VCT Pacific title. Yet the clash of these two teams seemed to still favor the Korean squad, who have had numerous international appearances and finished as high as third place overall at an international VCT event. DRX have opted to go for the newer version of their roster so far in the tournament, which includes young duelist player Foxy9 instead of veteran Zest. On the side of EG, Demon1 has been helping them to their victories after fears he may not make the tournament at all. While EG ran a standard composition, DRX switched things up and opted for a variation of their Fracture composition that shifts Foxy9 onto Raze and Rb onto Fade. Longtime DRX fans will have noticed a complete shift in strategy on Fracture based on this composition alone. DRX have been winning Pacific League matches by using a Neon-focused composition that absolutely demolishes the defense on this map. Instead of that strategy, the team decided to instead focus much more heavily on utility than speed and force. There were lineups galore, but they didn’t look entirely coordinated with this strategy. EG, on the other hand, looked dialed in. https://twitter.com/ValorantEsports/status/1668150404411174917 Foxy9 wasn’t making an impact on Raze, while on the other side, jawgemo finished the map with a KDA of 22/11. EG won Fracture after DRX were only able to win five rounds. On Ascent, things just got better for EG, and the team put up an incredible map. Demon1 seemed activated and ready to go, getting frags left and right with everything from knives to an Operator. The team moved as a unit and worked together seamlessly, adapting to everything DRX threw at them. EG truly showcased their depth, not only in their roster but also in their pool of strategies. The players are clearly learning and adapting, a key feature of any team slated to make a deep run at an international tournament. https://twitter.com/ValorantEsports/status/1668176965877243905 EG took Ascent 13-10 with a picture-perfect finish from Demon1, and beat DRX 2-0. EG will now get a few days of rest before the playoffs stage of the tournament, which begins on June 16. The team will have to wait to see who their first opponent will be in the playoffs.

When he says Mom and Dad, he is most likely speaking of Arabella-Izzy's parents, for they treat him as if he were their son and equally as their daughter.

Personality: He is super smart, kind, understanding, cares for others, and tries to help others because he knows how it feels to struggle, considering how bad it was with his real parents. He is loyal, sometimes sassy, very blunt, and confident, unless his bipolar gets in the way. Of course, he is a very loveable, cute, shy, and submissive little boy.

☁️ . . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ Lee Minho —— —͙ – -˚ ·* ˚ ✦

Likes: red and black, video games, partying, art, fashion, and trading card games.

A very good video gamer, especially at league, his favorite trading card game is Yu-Gi-Oh. His favorite movie is Beetlejuice, and his favorite show is The Next Prince. Everyone knows this, but he is rich, and we know he is not a snotty one; he is a really kind and charming type of rich boy. Of course he is popular and everyone loves him, but he is not a bad boy at all. There is no breaking him. His motto is "Don't stand stall, but don't break, because breaking gets you nowhere in life."

Personality: He is somewhat smart, loving, caring, very protective, charming, and loveable. He doesn't care what others say behind his back. Everyone's opinion is irrelevant to him unless it is good, understandable, or has an impact on him. The type of guy to spoil you with gifts, tease you, and make you his little pet.

Triosephosphate isomerase from baker’s yeast – ribozyme versus protein

It was previously shown that in baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, transketolase can exist not only free, but in complex with RNA. The complex does not possess transketolase activity [N.K. Tikhomirova, G.A. Kochetov, A new method of isolation and a new form of transketolase from baker’s yeast, Biokhimiia 56 (1991) 1123-1130].

We discovered that this RNA is a ribozyme which catalyzes the interconversion of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) and dihydroxyacetone 3-phosphate (DHAP), i.e. acting as triosephosphate isomerase (TPI). It also catalyzes an unusual reaction of ribose 5-phosphate (R5P) decomposition to G3P ​​and erythrose. TPI-ribozyme was found in baker’s yeast not only in complex with transketolase, but also in free form. Transketolase-RNA complex was easily isolated on an immunoaffinity column with antibodies to transketolase. TPI-ribozyme consists of 87 nucleotides and has a molecular weight of 26.6 kDa. The optimum of pH-activity is 7.5 for DHAP, 6.7 for R5P and 9.0 for G3P. Km and Vmax are accordingly 0.29 mM and 2.6 U/mg for DHAP, 22 mM and 0.65 U/mg for R5P, 0.05 mM and 4.3 U/mg at pH 7.6 and 0.11 mM and 16 U/mg at pH 9.0 for G3P. These kinetic characteristics are the same for free RNA and in the complex with transketolase. Ki for RNA binding to transketolase was 1.0 μM. Accordingly, the TPI-ribozyme performs a dual function – it shows TPI activity and blocks the work of transketolase, thereby switching the metabolic process to glycolysis. The location of the TPI-ribozyme gene is determined. Blocking the activity of transketolase by ribozyme may be of practical importance in medicine, particularly, in cancer therapy.

USAF confirms acquisition of JSM cruise missiles for its F-35

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 23/03/2023 - 18:00 in Armaments, Military

The U.S. Air Force plans to buy 48 JSM (Joint Strike Missile) cruise missiles for its F-35 Lightning II fighters, according to a budget request for fiscal year 2024.

The cruise missile is developed by Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace (KDA) of Norway and Raytheon.

The JSM was designed to target high-value targets on land and at sea, such as ships, radar sites, command centers and air defenses. It has a range of more than 300 km (186 miles) and can fly at low altitudes to avoid detection by enemy radars. It also has a high degree of maneuverability and can change course during flight to avoid enemy countermeasures.

The JSM during integration tests with the F-35's internal weapons compartment.

The JSM is based on the NSM (Naval Strike Missile), which has been widely adopted by several navies around the world as an anti-ship missile. The JSM is modified to fit inside the F-35's internal weapon compartments, reducing its radar signature and increasing its stealth capabilities. The JSM can also be transported externally by other aircraft, such as F-16 and F/A-18.

The U.S. Air Force is expected to pay about $3.35 million per missile, based on an estimate derived from previous contracts signed by Norway and Japan, which are also JSM customers. Norway is the leading nation in the development of the JSM and has ordered 140 missiles for its own F-35. Japan also ordered 37 missiles for its F-35.

JSM tests with F-35A fighter.

The U.S. Air Force has been testing the JSM since 2018, when it conducted the first release test with an F-35A at Edwards Air Base, California. In February 2021, he conducted another release test with an F-35A in the Utah Test and Training Range. The tests showed that the missile can be safely launched from the aircraft and function as expected.

The U.S. Air Force plans to declare initial operational capability (IOC) for the JSM in 2025, which means it will have enough missiles and trained personnel to carry out missions with them. The IOC will coincide with the decision to produce a full rate for the missile, which will allow larger orders in subsequent years.

The JSM will provide a significant boost to the U.S. Air Force's attack capabilities, especially in contested environments where access can be denied by sophisticated enemy defenses. The JSM will complement other cruise missiles launched from the air in service or development by the U.S. military, such as the AGM-158 JASSM (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile) and the AGM-179 JSOW-C1 (Joint Standoff Weapon).

The acquisition of JSM cruise missiles by the U.S. Air Force reflects its commitment to modernize its weapons portfolio and maintain its advantage over potential opponents. JSM will also increase interoperability with allies who share common platforms and threats.

#AUTOMUTE PROTEIN MANUAL#

#AUTOMUTE PROTEIN SOFTWARE#

Here, we test the ability of elves to determine a protein crystal structure fully automatically. The elves main program runs processer in the fully automated mode. These programs are coordinated by the next level of automation, called processer, which also runs solve ( 2) and arp/ warp ( 4). refmacer uses arp/ warp and refmac to build and refine a molecular model. Scripts for o ( 11), arp/ warp ( 4), refmac ( 12), and cns ( 13) are produced. mlphare and dm ( 10) are used to calculate phases, and the electron density map is calculated with the CCP4 suite ( 5). phaser locates heavy atoms with shelx ( 8) or rantan ( 5) and refines and searches for additional heavy atoms with mlphare ( 9). scaler performs local scaling ( 7) and merges multiple wedges of data by using the indicated programs. wedger processes a single wedge of data by using mosflm ( 6). Four programs make up the first level of elves automation. Green wedges indicate the scope of each elves program.

#AUTOMUTE PROTEIN SOFTWARE#

elves automates widely used crystallographic software ( Lower) that are currently run by means of user-specified scripts. As an expert system, elves chooses reasonable starting input parameters for each step, optimizes parameters, and marshals several strategies to detect and overcome common failures in the calculations.įig. 1) were used to carry out individual steps or groups of steps under user direction. In most of these cases, the elves programs wedger, scaler, phaser, and refmacer ( Fig. These structures, solved in several different laboratories, include the human TRAF2/CD40 complex ( 14), the human papilloma virus E2 protein ( 15), aspartate transcarbamoylase ( 16), Escherichia coli primase ( 17), the tandem bromo domains of human TAF250 ( 18), the dimerization domain of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α ( 19), the human MIA protein ( 20), the replication initiation factor, DnaA ( 21), a designed ankyrin repeat motif ( 22), and the PknB Ser/Thr protein kinase ( 23). elves programs have been used to speed and optimize steps in the determination of many x-ray crystal structures ranging from 8 to 330 kDa in the crystallographic asymmetric unit (au).

#AUTOMUTE PROTEIN MANUAL#

We developed the expert system elves to automate analysis of crystallographic data without precluding manual control of the process ( Fig. These methods to speed individual computational steps have created the opportunity to fully automate macromolecular x-ray structure determination. Comprehensive program packages such as the CCP4 suite ( 5) have integrated diverse methods through standardized interfaces and file structures. The arp/ warp program enabled automated model building and refinement ( 4). In particular, the solve and resolve programs have been adopted widely for locating heavy atoms, calculating electron density maps, and modeling ( 2, 3). X-ray structural analysis has been facilitated recently by new experimental methods such as multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) analysis ( 1) and by powerful new algorithms for locating heavy atoms, model building, and structural refinement. Any step can fail, and the manifold computational inputs generally prevent optimization of any step. Determining the crystal structure of a large molecule is generally a complicated, multistep process that requires considerable time and training to accomplish.
