The resource hub for London civil society now has £350,000 funding for its first year of operation, confirmed in a press release from the City Bridge Trust. The hub will be run by Greater London Volunteering.
As I've written extensively here, there are differing views on how the hub will, or should operate, and on November 16 I'm with others helping run a free open event to develop ideas that we hope will complement and enhance plans so far announced. Summary of the background here.
It should act as a convenor and enabler, rather than direct deliverer, in effect delivering change through networks and platforms, rather than through traditional organisational and membership delivery methods.
The Our Way Ahead network of networks are particularly concerned that grassroots community groups and networks will miss out in favour of well-staffed voluntary organisations and charities.
The 107-year-old London Voluntary Service Council, which was the only pan-London organisation representing some 120,000 community and voluntary organisations, was a partner in developing the hub proposals with GLV and London funders. However LVSC is now in voluntary liquidation.
Third Sector rather confusingly reported news of the hub as City Bridge Trust sets up voluntary sector support body for London. While City Bridge Trust has provided the funding, the work of setting up is being carried out by GLV. There is a shadow Board, and drafts of memorandum and articles and charitable objects, so far unpublished.
There is only one-year funding, so the Hub company will have to continue to fundraise and/or develop ways to earn income.
There will only be a small staff of chief executive, programmes manager, networks and development coordinator, intelligence coordinator, plus organisational support.
A new charity support body, Hub for London, is soon to launch to strengthen the capital's voluntary sector.
The City of London Corporation's charitable funder and London's largest independent grant giver, City Bridge Trust, has awarded £350,000 towards the new organisation which will bring together and provide support to the capital's voluntary sector.
Hub for London will strengthen the charity sector in the capital by providing access to business, organisational, technical and enterprise support to civil society organisations, as well as online resources.
City Bridge Trust's funding will secure the first year of operation for Hub for London which will be run by Greater London Volunteering.
Hub for London will allow charities to access and share data and information, training schemes and good practice. By building cross-sector links and partnerships, the Hub will mean voluntary and community organisations have a 'voice' within the on-going debate about London, its governance and the issues it faces. As well as helping London's voluntary sector to access organisational support, the Hub will help organisations to work together and provide a platform for a number of voluntary sector networks, such as the London Safer Futures Network.
Perhaps I'm reading too much into the text, but there is a lot of emphasis on charities, while the vast majority of the groups in London civil society are not charities, don't have staff and yet can certainly do with support.
The advisory group didn't have sight of the press release before its meeting on the same day, so we ended up discussing various issues, including a possible name, which appear decided in the press release.
The guidance from GLV is that details are still to be worked out, and that statements so far indicate that while some functions will be central, a lot of work will be devolved to other organisations and networks.
While the group will only meet monthly, I was pleased that GLV agreed to set up an online forum for us, probably using Loomio.
I hope that there will also be a public communication system that reflects the commitment that membership of the new organisation will be open to any organisation or individual based in London. Steve Wyler went so far as to suggest the hub might become a coop.
If the hub is to be broadly-based and accountable to Londoners, then Londoners should be well-informed on its development and have a chance to make some input.

Review: Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition (Nintendo Wii)
Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition
Developer: HAL Labs
Genre: Platformer/Compilation
Considering that stars are such an important object in the Kirby universe, it makes a lot of sense for Nintendo to close out the Wii life cycle in a similar fashion to a star. This year seems to be when the console itself is showing the most brightly, before fizzling out completely, and what a better way to do that than with a compilation of Kirby titles.
Kirby is one of those characters that has always been around in Nintendo's history, but somehow still winds up with little attention compared to his more renowned brethren, such as Mario and Link. It's a shame too, as he is definitely one of the more experimental characters in their line-up, starring in such things as his own pinball game long before Pokemon and Metroid started doing this thing.
Kirby's Dream Collection brings together six games: Kirby's Dreamland, Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Dreamland 2, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dreamland 3, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. While they're all very similar in terms of gameplay (read: none of the experimental stuff I talked about is here), they span numerous consoles from the original Game Boy all the way to the Nintendo 64. It's time to find out if this collection is a worthwhile display of twenty years of the Kirby franchise.
Let's Review
Story/Modes
Like most platformers released during prior eras, while the Kirby games do have some semblance of a story to hold the adventure together, you quickly forget about it once the adventure starts. This isn't to say the story is bad, per se. It's just not the primary focus of these games, and almost every single one amounts to Kirby saving Dreamland from some mysterious dark force. There's usually a persistent cast as the games go along though, as characters like Meta Knight and King Dedede make regular appearances, both as friend and adversary.
When you first fire up the game, you'll be given an option of playing one of the six classic games in the collection, viewing some of Kirby's history, or participating in some challenge stages. The challenge stages are crafted using the engine from last year's Kirby's Return to Dreamland on the Wii, and task you with taking on one of Kirby's many powers and trying to clear a level with it within the time limit. It was refreshing to see that there was more effort put into this package than Super Mario All-Stars which, despite the quality of the games on the disk, amounted to a retail version of a Virtual Console game.
Story/Modes Rating: Decent
The visuals are all over the place in this package since it contains games spanning consoles released over the last twenty years. While the new challenge stages should sit just fine with most everyone, some of the Game Boy titles are going to be quite an eyesore. Both Kirby's Dreamland and Kirby's Dreamland 2 are presented in their original monochrome state, so no Super Game Boy type recoloring techniques are utilized here. In addition, they don't use very much real estate on your television, especially if you're playing in widescreen. So prepare yourself for a persistent border going around the outside of the playing field.
While the other games make use of a border while playing in 16:9, they'll definitely sit much better visually with newcomers. Kirby's Adventure uses the NES version graphics rather than those of the GBA remake, but aside from that, games like Kirby Super Star and Kirby 64 look rather sharp. Kirby's Dreamland 3 is something of an odd duck for a late SNES release. It seemed as though the developers tried to experiment with a new art style, making the game appear as though it was drawn with colored crayons or something similar. The end result is a bit lackluster, but you eventually get used to it.
Graphics Rating: Mediocre
As with the visuals, the music and sound effects are basically untouched from their original incarnations. This means that, despite much of the soundtrack being instantly familiar to anyone who has dabbled in some of the more recent entries in the series, they may be put off by how tinny some of the older entries sound on their speakers. That aside, the music utilized throughout the franchise is incredibly catchy and you'll likely catch yourself humming along to much of it. Especially the song that plays after completing a stage successfully, leading to a montage of dancing Kirby's.
Also, don't expect much in the way of voice overs either. While Kirby does make a few sounds here and there, it comes across as child-like babble. The other characters will communicate via text boxes as well, which, given the ages of the titles on display, shouldn't be too surprising.
Sound Rating: Decent
Control/Gameplay
Despite the number of games included here, all of them share the same style and play basically the same way. The game can be played with any of the Classic Controllers (and even Gamecube controllers), though you can certainly just take a Wii remote and turn it on its side of you like. You have a button that jumps and one to suck in enemies. Once you have an enemy in your mouth, you can then either spit it back out at other enemies or swallow it by pressing down. In all of the Kirby titles except for Kirby's Dreamland, swallowing certain enemies will grant you additional powers. For example, a fire enemy will allow you to blow fire and so forth. If you have possession of an enemy power, it takes the place of your ability to absorb enemies and obstacles, though you can abandon your power at any time with the push of a button.
In Kirby's Dreamland 2 and 3, you'll encounter trapped animals that you can ride on once you set them free. Each one has a special ability, such as the fish being able to move faster in water. However, if you absorb a power while riding an animal, the way you use that power will change depending on the animal. Having the Cutter ability might turn Kirby into a boomerang while riding the hamster, but will instead cause him to fire small blades while being carried by the owl. It's a fun system to experiment with, and one of the things that makes these titles worth coming back to time and again.
While you still maintain the same basic gameplay elements for much of Kirby Super Star, that game is technically advertised as having eight games in one. Each of these "games" is more or less a self-contained adventure, though there are a few minigames here and there sprinkled in to add a bit of variety, such as a foot race to collect food or a contest to see who can punch the biggest crack into the planet. If you played Kirby Super Star Ultra that released on the DS a few years back, you should know more or less what to expect.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, while still taking place in a 2D environment, has you venturing into the background and foreground, sometimes rotating the camera to accommodate the non-linear path. It also introduces the capability to absorb two abilities at once. If you wound up with two of the same ability, it would end up being a stronger version of that, but if you mix and match two different ones, you'll end up with something entirely different. Sometimes this is necessary in order to collect all of the crystal shards in the game. There are dozens of combinations that you can come up with too, as mixing rock and fire will turn Kirby into a volcano, while freeze and electric will make him into a refrigerator that fires off food. Again, experimentation is what makes this so enjoyable and it pervades nearly all of the games in the collection.
Control/Gameplay Rating: Classic
For the most part, each of the games have areas to unlock or items to obtain beyond what the main adventure offers, save for Kirby's Dreamland, which can be completed in one sitting. Others, such as Kirby 64 have crystal shards to gather in order to unlock the final battle, and this is just with the core games. If you manage to clear all of that out, there are the challenge stages made with the Kirby's Return to Dreamland engine that are exclusive to this collection and can be repeated to try and improve on your best times.
If you're looking for some form of couch multiplayer experience, both Kirby Super Star and Kirby's Dreamland 3 offer cooperative play for two players. Kirby Super Star in particular allows Kirby to expel whatever power he is currently carrying and spawn a creature that a second player can take control of. Much like the Sonic games, if player two dies, it comes with no penalty, as Kirby can just spawn another. Kirby's Dreamland 3 works similarly, except a character named Gooey can be spawned at any time, at the cost of some of Kirby's health. Gooey is something of a derpy blob that can absorb abilities or spit monsters the same way Kirby can, though he can be swallowed up again (sometimes by accident) in order to return Kirby's health.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards has a few competitive minigames for four players that involve catching fruit in a basket, a hop race, and a battle of sorts where the goal is to cause the opponent to fall by eliminating the blocks they're standing on. There isn't a whole lot of depth to any of these, but they make for entertaining diversions if nothing else. Of all of the Kirby titles on the market, this one is going to give you the most bang for your buck.
Replayability Rating: Great
I've always described Kirby as a platformer for people who aren't good at platformers, and while that isn't to say experienced players can't enjoy them, it is one of the easiest franchises in the genre. Much of that is owed to the fact that there really isn't a whole lot of platforming to be done. Yes, Kirby can jump just as Mario and Sonic and other genre characters can, but he can also suck up air and float through the sky. This removes the difficulty of having to make treacherous jumps, though there are still things that can shoot and fly at you to knock you down. Also, extra lives are easy to obtain, as most of the games offer some sort of mini-game at the end of each stage that will award you a ton of them. Kirby has an entire life bar to get through before perishing as well, so you won't blow through them all that quickly. Some of the bosses can be quite challenging at times, but many of them will have their own stage, and since the game autosaves after each (except for Kirby's Dreamland), it's really a non-issue.
That said, those experienced in the platformer genre might find the offerings here a bit too easy for their tastes, so this is another thing to consider before picking it up. As an entry level game in the genre, though, you really can't do much better than this.
Balance Rating: Great
Many of the games on this collection have been released numerous times, whether it be in the form of remakes or on Nintendo's Virtual Console service, and many of them have been around for so long, you've likely played many of them before. There have also been many games in the series since these had originally released that are very similar in gameplay, such as Kirby: Squeak Squad or Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. In other words, these are the least innovative games in the entire franchise, and while fun, don't offer the kind of originality found in some of his other titles like Kirby: Canvas Curse.
Originality Rating: Bad
Addictiveness
Nearly all of the games in this collection are incredibly engaging and kept me coming back for more, save for a couple. Kirby's Dreamland, while it is the game that started the franchise and was entertaining for its time, doesn't stand the test of time the way the others do. It's also incredibly short and doesn't offer much reason to revisit it upon completion. Kirby's Dreamland 3 was also a bit polarizing, though now having revisited it after so long, it's not quite as bad as I remembered it to be. The presentation and level designs still feel incredibly uninspired when compared to its fellow SNES entry, Kirby Super Star, so it's hard to get as excited for it.
As for the rest of them, I had a blast playing through them, with Kirby Super Star and Kirby 64 being the highlights of the bunch. The former offered much variety while being able to experience it with a buddy and the latter introduced an ability combining mechanic that led to some incredibly enjoyable combinations as a result. Anyone who missed out on them the first time around will definitely be pleased.
Addictiveness Rating: Very Good
Appeal Factor
I think fans of the franchise were definitely keeping an eye on this one, and rightfully so. This is far and a way a better effort than Super Mario All-Stars, as it not only brings together a solid collection of games from the series' history, but highlights Kirby's last twenty years in a way that's sure to please fans. It gives a timeline of when each title was released, even ones not featured on this disk, and lets you take a look at the package design and trailer for the game. There are even a few episodes of Kirby: Right Back At Ya!, which was the anime that released awhile back (although they placed it within the timeline rather than providing an option specifically for accessing it). In addition, although each game that originally utilized a save feature still has that capability, you also have a suspend save similar to what Virtual Console titles get. A full manual for whatever title you're currently playing can be accessed from the Wii menu too.
Appeal Rating: Classic
At a $40 price point, Kirby's Dream Collection is a tad more expensive than Super Mario All-Stars that came before it. However, I can justify the inflated price point for the additional effort that actually went into this package. While the outer box isn't nearly as eye catching as Mario's, you do still get an art book and soundtrack highlighting the last twenty years of Kirby. The art book is certainly a better effort than the Mario one, as is the content on the actual disc itself. My only complaint is that the game doesn't look much like a collector's item, though perhaps Nintendo doesn't feel that there would be many among the Kirby fanbase. Perhaps that's true to an extent, though given the after market values of some of the SNES and N64 releases, I think there is more than what they are giving credit for.
Miscellaneous Rating: Good
Story/Modes: Decent
Sounds: Decent
Controls/Gameplay: Classic
Replayability: Great
Balance: Great
Originality: Bad
Addictiveness: Very Good
Appeal Factor: Classic
In a similar move to 2010's Super Mario All-Stars, Nintendo is celebrating twenty years of Kirby with Kirby's Dream Collection. It brings together six of his earliest platforming exploits, ranging from the Game Boy era to the Nintendo 64. In addition, fans are treated to a timeline highlighting Kirby's entire history, along with a few episodes of the anime and both packaging and trailers for each game. Challenge stages exclusive to this collection, combined with the soundtrack and art book bundled with the game, make for a great collector's piece for fans of the franchise. Some of the games might be a tough sell for those that didn't grow up with the series and the outer box doesn't make it as "collectible" as it could be, but otherwise this collection offers something for everyone. While this might be one of the last significant releases that we'll see out of Nintendo for the Wii, I sincerely hope characters like Samus and Donkey Kong see a similar treatment going forward.

Just say no to Evander Kane
Detroit Hockey Now's Kevin Allen reports something that creeps me out today:
The Detroit Red Wings are among a handful of NHL teams scouting Evander Kane as he makes his season debut with the San Jose Barracuda.
Hockey Now's Sheng Peng confirmed that Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars are on the press box list.
The Sharks are exploding trade options for Evander Kane. He was suspended 21 games by the NHL for presenting a fake vaccination card. He's in the AHL to get his game back in shape. Kane's off-ice behavior was the subject of multiple media reports in the offseason. As a result, some of Kane's Sharks' teammates didn't want him back on the team.
I don't care about Kane's bankruptcy, bitter divorce proceedings, or his stupid decision to fake a vaccination card. I don't care about the rumors of gambling issues or any other of the long list's worth of character issues that have followed the 30-year-old forward around.
I care about the fact that it wasn't just the players in Winnipeg that couldn't stand him (and he was treated really unfairly there); I know that the people of Winnipeg hated the guy, and it takes a lot for the people of Winnipeg to really disown a player. Kane was utterly disliked in Winnipeg, and that's as terrible a stamp on his status as anything else…
That, and ESPN's Emily Kaplan reported this about Kane a couple of days ago:
I'm told there's already a decent amount of interest in Kane, and right now, the interested teams are looking for a third-party team to act as "broker" to help retain some of his salary ($7 million). San Jose is willing to retain some salary, but if it gets even lower — imagine Kane, who has averaged 28 goals per season over his 12-year career, at a $1.75 million cap hit — the list of interested teams grows even longer. However, it's going to take a team that believes it has a strong locker room culture to bring Kane in.
Kane, I'm told, is interested in playing for a contender and has a ton of agency given he has a three-team trade list. The best-case scenario for Kane is getting bought out by the Sharks and being able to choose his next destination, but I don't think the Sharks have broached buyout talks with him yet. Those discussions would likely happen this summer.
Any other team that's a contender can take him. Hell, the Ak Bars Kazan can take him. But I don't want Evander Kane on the Red Wings.
Send him to Toronto.

Man, this guy just could never get out of his own way for whatever reason and it is a shame because just looking at his stats, the guys is a player. But yes, avoid at all costs, Stevie. Please?!

Biography of Monique Lisbon
Monique Lisbon is a singer/songwriter, pianist, author and public speaker, with a special focus on finding hope in the 'mess' of life and faith.
A survivor of child abuse, Monique has expressed much of her pain and the journey towards hope in her music.
Her first book, Fragments of Home: Piecing Life Together after Childhood Sexual Abuse was published by Acorn Press in 2010.
Fragments of Home then formed the basis of a multi-DVD resource set designed for facilitated recovery groups of adult survivors of childhood abuse, released in 2012.
The sequel to Fragments of Home, entitled Keeping Mum: The Silent Cost of Surviving Childhood Sexual Abuse was released in 2017.
Monique has written songs which grapple with the existence of a good God in the midst of the suffering of the world around her and in her own life. Inspired by the life and writings of German theologian and martyr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, she has come to believe that in the face of a suffering world, 'only the suffering God can help.'
Monique has been writing music for over thirty years and has produced many collections of songs in written and recorded form. Her church congregational music is used in Australia and internationally in churches, tertiary Christian organisations and para-church groups.
She has also spoken widely in many contexts, including on national radio and television, at public forums, in churches, and at theological colleges and schools. Monique has led training days and workshops around Australia for leaders across various Christian denominations, as well as in several secular organisations.

COYOTE V. ACME
James Marcus reviews the humor collection "Coyote V. Acme" by Ian Frazier.
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/1996/05/11/sneakpeeks_55/
James Marcus
May 11, 1996 11:00PM (UTC)
Ian Frazier has two specialties: fat, brilliant books about American life (like "Great Plains") and thin, brilliant humor collections (like "Dating Your Mom"). His latest production fits into the second category, and confirms that he's one of the funniest writers to walk the earth since Woody Allen got serious. Allen is certainly an influence, and you can also detect a strain of Benchley-like befuddlement with a gift for recycling bits of junk language in the manner of Donald Barthelme. But Frazier is an original, and the best pieces in "Coyote v. Acme" come way out of some literary left field that nobody but the author has yet managed to explore. "Thanks for the Memory," for example, begins as a competent little parody of Bob Hope's golfing memoirs. Frazier gets Hope's mannerisms -- the name dropping, the lame jokes, the verbal slackness -- down pat. Gradually, though, he inflates these tics to some surreal bursting point: by the time the piece is over, and the narrator is recalling what it's like to "fall from a plane, hit a fir tree, bust a clavicle, and play Winged Foot with some of the top-ranking daytime stars and the guys from the Village People," Hope himself has been left far behind. In other cases, Frazier sticks closer to his initial premise, even if it's so thin as to approach invisibility (see "Stalin's Chuckle" and "The Novel's Main Character.") As usual, there's a certain inconsistency to a loose-cannon collection like this one. But anyone who can make you laugh this hard has earned his right to an occasional off-day.

Welcome to Frank Lab
We investigate the mechanism of translation on the ribosome by using cryo-electron microscopy and single-particle reconstruction.
Book: Single-Particle Cryo-Electron Microscopy
Publisher: World Scientific
Editor: Joachim Frank
The book reproduces 55 of more than 300 articles written by the author, representing milestones in methods development of single-particle cryo-EM as well as important results obtained by this technique in the study of biological macromolecules and their interactions. Importantly, neither symmetries nor ordered arrangements (as in two-dimensional crystals, helical assemblies, icosahedral viruses) are required. Although the biological applications are mainly in the area of ribosome structure and function, the elucidation of membrane channel structures and their activation and gating mechanisms are represented, as well. The book is introduced by a commentary that explains the original development of concepts, describes the contributions of the author's colleagues and students, and shows how challenges were overcome as the technique matured. Along the way, the ribosome served as an example for a macromolecule with intricate structure and conformational dynamics that pose challenges for three-dimensional visualization. Toward the end of the book bringing us to the present time molecular structures with near-atomic resolution are presented, and a novel type of computational analysis, manifold embedding, is introduced. Single-particle cryo-EM is currently revolutionizing structural biology, presenting a powerful alternative to X-ray crystallography as a means to solve the structure of biological macromolecules. The book presents in one place a number of articles containing key advances in mathematical and computational methods leading up to the present time. Secondly, the development of the technique over the years is reflected by ever-expanding discoveries in the field of ribosome structure and function. Thirdly, as all histories of ideas, the history of concepts pertaining to this new method of visualization is fascinating all in itself.
Article: Late steps in bacterial translation initiation visualized using
time-resolved cryo-EM
Journal: Nature
Author: Sandip Kaledhonkar, et al.
The initiation of bacterial translation involves the tightly regulated joining of the 50S ribosomal subunit to an initiator transfer RNA (fMet-tRNAfMet)-containing 30S ribosomal initiation complex to form a 70S initiation complex, which subsequently matures into a 70S elongation-competent complex. Rapid and accurate formation of the 70S initiation complex is promoted by initiation factors, which must dissociate from the 30S initiation complex before the resulting 70S elongation-competent complex can begin the elongation of translation1. Although comparisons of the structures of the 30S2,3,4,5 and 70S4,6,7,8 initiation complexes have revealed that the ribosome, initiation factors and fMet-tRNAfMet can acquire different conformations in these complexes, the timing of conformational changes during formation of the 70S initiation complex, the structures of any intermediates formed during these rearrangements, and the contributions that these dynamics might make to the mechanism and regulation of initiation remain unknown. Moreover, the absence of a structure of the 70S elongation-competent complex formed via an initiation-factor-catalysed reaction has precluded an understanding of the rearrangements to the ribosome, initiation factors and fMet-tRNAfMet that occur during maturation of a 70S initiation complex into a 70S elongation-competent complex. Here, using time-resolved cryogenic electron microscopy9, we report the near-atomic-resolution view of how a time-ordered series of conformational changes drive and regulate subunit joining, initiation factor dissociation and fMet-tRNAfMet positioning during formation of the 70S elongation-competent complex. Our results demonstrate the power of time-resolved cryogenic electron microscopy to determine how a time-ordered series of conformational changes contribute to the mechanism and regulation of one of the most fundamental processes in biology.
Article: Critical Role for Saccharomyces cerevisiae Asc1p in Translational Initiation at Elevated Temperatures
Journal: Proteomics
Author: Vincent R. Gerbasi, et al.
The eukaryotic ribosomal protein RACK1/Asc1p is localized to the mRNA exit channel of the 40S subunit but lacks a defined role in mRNA translation. Saccharomyces cerevisiae deficient in ASC1 exhibit temperature‐sensitive growth. Using this null mutant, potential roles for Asc1p in translation and ribosome biogenesis are evaluated. At the restrictive temperature the asc1Δ null mutant has reduced polyribosomes. To test the role of Asc1p in ribosome stability, cryo‐EM is used to examine the structure of 80S ribosomes in an asc1Δ yeast deletion mutant at both the permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. CryoEM indicates that loss of Asc1p does not severely disrupt formation of this complex structure. No defect is found in rRNA processing in the asc1Δ null mutant. A proteomic approach is applied to survey the effect of Asc1p loss on the global translation of yeast proteins. At the nonpermissive temperature, the asc1Δ mutant has reduced levels of ribosomal proteins and other factors critical for translation. Collectively, these results are consistent with recent observations suggesting that Asc1p is important for ribosome occupancy of short mRNAs. The results show the Asc1 ribosomal protein is critical in translation during heat stress.
Article: On the damage done to the structure of the T. acidophilum
proteasome by electron radiation
Journal: Protein Science
Author: Jimin Wang, et al.
[Abstract]
It has long been known that proteins are damaged when they are exposed to the electron beam in an electron microscope. Here we show that exposure to electrons under cryo‐EM conditions leads to a small change in the quaternary structure of the T. acidophilum proteasome, and that backbones atoms belonging to the α‐helices in this molecule appear to be particular prone to chemical damage. A chemical mechanism is proposed for this damage. Both this local chemical effect and the more global quaternary structure effect appear to heterogenize samples leading to a radiation dose‐dependent degradation of the resolution of the EM maps obtained from this molecule.
Article: Identification of Changing Ribosome Protein Compositions
using Mass Spectrometry
Author: Parimal Samir, et al.
The regulatory role of the ribosome in gene expression has come into sharper focus. It has been proposed that ribosomes are dynamic complexes capable of changing their protein composition in response to enviromental stimuli. We applied mass spectrometry to identify quantitative changes in the protein composition of S. cerevisiae 80S ribosomes in response to different environmental stimuli. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, we found that the paralog yeast ribosomal proteins RPL8A (eL8A) and RPL8B (eL8B) change their relative proportions in the 80S ribosome when yeast is switched from growth in glucose to glycerol. Using yeast genetics and polysome profiling, we show that yeast ribosomes containing either RPL8A or RPL8B are not functionally interchangeable. Our quantitative proteomic data support the hypothesis that ribosomes are dynamic complexes that alter their composition and functional activity in response to changes in growth or environmental conditions.
Article: Time-Resolved Cryo-electron Microscopy Using a
Microfluidic Chip
Book: Protein Complex Assembly
With the advent of direct electron detectors, cryo-EM has become a popular choice for molecular structure determination. Among its advantages over X-ray crystallography are (1) no need for crystals, (2) much smaller sample volumes, and (3) the ability to determine multiple structures or conformations coexisting in one sample. In principle, kinetic experiments can be done using standard cryo-EM, but mixing and freezing grids require several seconds. However, many biological processes are much faster than that time scale, and the ensuing short-lived states of the molecules cannot be captured. Here, we lay out a detailed protocol for how to capture such intermediate states on the millisecond time scale with time-resolved cryo-EM.
Article: Three-Dimensional Analysis of Mitochondrial Crista Ultrastructure
in a Patient with Leigh Syndrome by In Situ Cryoelectron Tomography
Journal: iScience
Author: Stephanie E. Siegmund, et al.
[Summary]
Mitochondrial diseases produce profound neurological dysfunction via mutations affecting mitochondrial energy production, including the relatively common Leigh syndrome (LS). We recently described an LS case caused by a pathogenic mutation in USMG5, encoding a small supernumerary subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase. This protein is integral for ATP synthase dimerization, and patient fibroblasts revealed an almost total loss of ATP synthase dimers. Here, we utilize in situ cryoelectron tomography (cryo-ET) in a clinical case-control study of mitochondrial disease to directly study mitochondria within cultured fibroblasts from a patient with LS and a healthy human control subject. Through tomographic analysis of patient and control mitochondria, we find that loss of ATP synthase dimerization due to the pathogenic mutation causes profound disturbances of mitochondrial crista ultrastructure. Overall, this work supports the crucial role of ATP synthase in regulating crista architecture in the context of human disease.
Article: Single-Particle Reconstruction of Biological Molecules:
Story in a Sample (Nobel Lecture)
Journal: Angewandte Chemie
Author: Joachim Frank
[Background]
I developed an interest in electron optics when I worked with Ernst Kinder on my master thesis project in Physics at the University of Munich. The subject of my thesis was backscattering of electrons on the surface of liquid gold, an ambitious undertaking that forced me to construct a vacuum chamber, a crucible to heat up the gold, a detector, and an electron gun. In 1943, working with the electron microscope, Kinder had studied butterfly wings, which as he realized gained their brilliant colors from interference of light on gratings formed by tiny scales, arranged in regular order...
Book chapter: New Insights into Ribosome Structure and Function
Book: Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology
Author: Amy Jobe, et al.
In the past 4 years, because of the advent of new cameras, many ribosome structures have been solved by cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) at high, often near-atomic resolution, bringing new mechanistic insights into the processes of translation initiation, peptide elongation, termination, and recycling. Thus, cryo-EM has joined X-ray crystallography as a powerful technique in structural studies of translation. The significance of this new development is that structures of ribosomes in complex with their functional binding partners can now be determined to high resolution in multiple states as they perform their work. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of these new studies and assess the contributions they have made toward an understanding of translation and translational control.
Article: The Jigsaw Puzzle of mRNA Translation Initiation in Eukaryotes:
A Decade of Structures Unraveling the Mechanics of the Process
Journal: Annual Review of Biophysics
Author: Yaser Hashem, et al.
Translation initiation in eukaryotes is a highly regulated and rate-limiting process. It results in the assembly and disassembly of numerous transient and intermediate complexes involving over a dozen eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs). This process culminates in the accommodation of a start codon marking the beginning of an open reading frame at the appropriate ribosomal site. Although this process has been extensively studied by hundreds of groups for nearly half a century, it has been only recently, especially during the last decade, that we have gained deeper insight into the mechanics of the eukaryotic translation initiation process. This advance in knowledge is due in part to the contributions of structural biology, which have shed light on the molecular mechanics underlying the different functions of various eukaryotic initiation factors. In this review, we focus exclusively on the contribution of structural biology to the understanding of the eukaryotic initiation process, a long-standing jigsaw puzzle that is just starting to yield the bigger picture.
The Electron Microscope – from a Sketch in 1931 to Reality
A sketch circulated by Pablo Guerra Lahoz on Twitter prompted me to put together this brief chronicle of the invention that has changed our lives in so many ways. What I didn't realize was that Ernst Ruska started his studies at the Technical University Munich in 1929, where I got my Ph.D. in 1970. He went to the Technical University of Berlin in 1927 where he finished his Ph.D. in 1933. He hypothesized that electrons with their much smaller wavelength could be used to image objects with much higher resolution than light microscopes. The sketch...

Stories in the Making was a touring exhibition originated by Ruthin Craft Centre in 2005. As the title suggests the inclusion of a story was intrinsic to each piece, and my aim was to make a story inside the form of a wire garment. I worked from two sources:my family and favourite writers, and kept alternating between these two themes. My work is made from mild steel wire which I weld and paint,sometimes adding sheet metal.
This was the last piece I made for the exhibition, and I was tired but elated that I was nearing the end of five years work. It is a celebration of women who juggle so much in their lives: housework – symbolised by the blue pot, the children – symbolised by the red baby,and the goose in the basket – which I could not resist including, I suppose it is yet another thing to be dealing with. This is the only piece to have movement in it, but I wanted to capture the excitement I felt at having achieved something momentous, while still keeping flowers in full bloom.
Dismantle celebrates my love of pattern pieces and the enjoyment I get from looking at a tacked and pinned piece of cloth.This piece came after Stories in the Making when I had run out of stories and was looking for new themes.
Mya's apron, Annie's dress is inspired by both my grandmothers, Annie and Mya, the fabrics they chose to wear and the embroidery they made. Very different women, Annie was flamboyant in her dress, whereas Mya, a nurse, wore more subdued clothes in terms of shape, but I remember a lot of small floral patterns. I have chosen the apron shape as the conduit for the imagery: I remember Mya wearing this type of garment; but I have decorated it with much of the handiwork and wedding dress lace belonging to Annie. The colours come from Mya's woven raffia handbag, which she used for special occasions. The bottom half of the apron has been deconstructed and reworked to resemble a dress in motion.
The motifs in this piece come from a blue and white cotton embroidery, about a metre square, which would have been hung behind the stove to catch cooking stains in Hungarian kitchens. I bought many of these embroideries whilst researching in Hungary, but staff at the Ethnographic Museum in Budapest dismissed them as kitsch. I have broken down the original picture and repositioned the imagery so that it no longer makes a picture, but a decoration.
In the sixties my mother was very hip and fashionable and was drawn to wearing bright colours and lots of pattern. I have used images from my grandmother's clothes in the bodice, to retain the link, but the main part of the piece owes something to Paco Rabanne and his chain linked dresses. The oblong shapes contain repeated images from from my mother's clothes, a lace blouse, a trouser suit and a silk blouse. The overworking with fabrics, threads and pieces of metal came right at the end and it helps to make the piece softer and more like a textile.
I made this piece especially for The Stories in the Making exhibition at Oriel Myrddin Gallery in Carmarthen.I was starting a new project at The National Wool Museum,called Drawing out the Collection and was eager to to draw differently by merging and layering information.
In this piece I decided to combine objects as if I was walking through a collection in a museum.

The relationship between bank competition and industrialization remains controversial and scarce in studies related to African countries. Using a sample of 26 African countries from 1996 to 2017, the objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of banking competition measured by non-structural measures (Lerner index and Boone indicator) on industrialization. Using the GMM, we obtained two different results. When measured by the Lerner index, competition evolves in the same direction as industrialization while the opposite effect is observed when using the Boone index. Following these results, we found that the relationship between bank competition and industrialization is non-linear. Bank competition should be encouraged but it should also be regulated so as not to become a brake on industrialization.

Michael Bierut says never trust a designer who doesn't like reading
According to graphic design legend Michael Bierut, this long standing cliché about the division of creative labor needs to change. "I'm very suspicious about hiring graphic designers who don't seem to be enthusiastic about reading," he says, explaining that he owes his early design education to books he found in the library as a student in Parma, Ohio. Bierut has kept up this reading habit, incorporating reading for pleasure in his busy schedule as a partner at the design consultancy Pentagram.
The author of five books, a lecturer at Yale University and a co-founder of the blog Design Observer, Bierut is also among the most widely read essayists on the topic of design. In his new book, Now You See It and Other Essays on Design, Bierut demonstrates why reading and to some extent, writing, are fundamental habits for creative professionals.
A love of reading, Bierut argues, leads to better design.
"Architects work with brick and steel, fashion designers work with fabric, and graphic designers work with letters and words, sentences and paragraphs," he explains. Bierut observes that designers who don't read tend to see words like "gray matter to be arranged on a page in an abstract way."
Bierut's argument for reading seems simple, yet it's radical for the profession. Design schools dedicate semesters on finessing styles; many design magazines look like picture-heavy catalogs and many design competitions are still judged based on how something looks. But reading is what leads to more substantive original design content. "There's nothing wrong with cool stuff, but the most cool looking stuff is not only great visually but informed by the culture," argues Bierut.
A designer who doesn't read will have no sympathy for the reader and the author. The telltale signs are all too common: illegible, teeny, tiny fonts, annoying decorative flourishes, confusing information hierarchy, embarrassing typos, or costly gaffes that can cause a PR nightmare for their client. Conceivably, the designers of Nike's Air Bakin' trainers could have avoided angering the Council on American-Islamic Relations if they had bothered to check if the flame design came up with didn't actually read "Allah" in Arabic script. Similarly, many lives could be improved if graphic designers bothered to learn about the tenets of health literacy so they can do a better job presenting pertinent health information to overwhelmed patients.
In the book's title essay, "Now You See It," Bierut expounds on why designers need to take the trouble to pore over texts they're given, even if the design solution seems obvious at first glance. Citing a 1990 Stanford University dissertation with the alluring title, Overconfidence in the Communication of Intent: Heard and Unheard Melodies, Bierut explains the "curse of knowledge" that results in boring designs or knock-off solutions.
In the interest of efficiency, designers tend to go straight to the drawing board—firing up design software, flowing in text, or sketching on their tablets—instead of considering if their solution will resonate with their readers. "If you already know the answer, you tend to underestimate the difficulty of the question," says Bierut. Reading and research are often the crucial initial steps missing in the design process.
Books, blogs and beyond
An avid reader of biographies, novels, history and magazines, Bierut adds that reading about unrelated topics helps designers—and arguably all creative people—land on novel ideas.
"Every good writer will throw in a reference to something that you weren't there for. If you're smart, that's your lifeline to your next thing. Let others infect you with their enthusiasm for hopping between other subjects—for thinking synthetically about disparate things," he says.
His favorite books are not design books: Act One by Moss Hart for instance is a memoir by an American playwright. ("It's my favorite book about the creative process, and no one has heard of it…anyone who does any kind of creative work will relate to this," gushes Bierut.) Or Nicholson Baker's novella about a man buying shoelaces, The Mezzanine. ("There's something about his attention to detail that's so appealing!")
In Now You See It, Bierut displays his polyamorous curiosity and facility for explaining the world through a designer's lens. With his trademark wit and penchant for charming folksy anecdotes, he hops from an essay about the architecture of his childhood home, to several entries about his philosophy on fonts, detours to discussing dalliances with clients and concludes with reflections about his most-discussed work: the Hillary Clinton campaign logo. In each of the book's 53 bite-sized chapters, Bierut demonstrates how a designer can go into one rabbit hole and emerge smarter by taking the time to reflect about the visuals he encounters or produces.
"Each of us live in a world that's inundated with misinformation, half-truths and fake news so much of it in beautifully packaged and beguilingly delivered," he writes in the book's introduction. "Thinking hard about the forms that ideas take may be the most important kind of thinking of all."

HHS proposal replaces medical ethics with transgender ideology, critics say
By: Tom Tracy, Catholic News; featuring L. Martin Nussbaum
Proposed federal regulatory changes to the Affordable Care Act will mean "woke" political correctness will trump medical and ethical considerations, likely exacerbating a nursing and physician shortage in the U.S.
That's one assessment on the proposed revisions released July 25 by the civil rights office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that could force health care workers to perform gender transition procedures; require health insurance plans to cover those costs; and likely remove federal conscience protection for those in health care who object to performing abortions.
On Aug. 4, the proposal was published by the Federal Register, opening a 60-day period for public comment that can be submitted at https://bit.ly/3vEM4Bl. The site describes alternative options for submitting comment. The last day for submissions is Oct. 3.
"If this rule is final and enforced, it really is changing the standards of care in medicine and an ideology is trumping science — this even shuts down the conversation about conscience rights," said Dr. Tim Millea, an Iowa-based orthopedic surgeon and chair of the Health Care Policy Committee for the Pennsylvania-based Catholic Medical Association.
"This requires a debate, a debate is healthy and may be uncomfortable but is better than a mandate," Millea told Catholic News Service Aug. 1. "To treat a patient who comes in and says, 'I want my child on puberty blockers,' you are not able to refuse; you are forced to refer them to someone who will."
The CMA is a national, physician-led community of 2,400 health care professionals consisting of 115 local guilds. The association has been expecting the HHS rule changes since last April, following discovery of a 74-page legal memorandum attached to a court filing from a consortium of 30 sexual rights groups.
The document revealed that HHS wants to revise its mandates on health plan coverage and performance to include surgical abortion, cross-sex hormones, gender-transition surgeries, gender-affirming cosmetic surgeries and voice modification — along with a host of expanded services dealing with fertility treatments, contraception, abortifacients and sterilizations.
"The proposed rule is littered with woke jargon such as 'pregnant person,' 'respondents who retained a uterus,' 'individual who does not have a cervix,' and 'individual who does not have a prostate,' which is demeaning to both men and women," according to research from the Heritage Foundation.
"An unscientific gender standard of care, and requiring insurance plans to pay for it, the rule will result in sterilization, loss of sexual function, removal of healthy reproductive organs, and a plethora of unnecessary surgeries and chemical interventions with lifelong consequences," the foundation said in a statement.
The U.S. bishops in a July 27 statement saying that "assurances that HHS will honor religious freedom laws offer little comfort when HHS is actively fighting court rulings that declared HHS violated religious freedom laws the last time they tried to impose such a mandate."
The "proposed regulations threaten our ability to carry out our healing ministries, and others' to practice medicine. They mandate health care workers to perform life-altering surgeries to remove perfectly healthy body parts," the bishops said.
For its part, the CMA has since been working to analyze the proposed HHS rule changes in consultation with its member Catholic health care providers and including the Tennessee-based Christian Medical & Dental Associations and more recently the Baltimore-based Coalition for Jewish Values.
The changes will likely apply to all health care providers, clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, group health insurers and third-party administrators of self-funded plans.
Millea said the situation is an "all hands on deck" moment for the CMA and its partners but that in the broader health care community there persists an "accommodation of acceptance, apathy and lack of competition" alongside the realty that individual medical professionals are too busy to read every 300-plus page document that comes along.
Unless successfully challenged, HHS may soon force all U.S. medical professionals to perform abortions, gender transition surgeries, or assisted suicide against their moral religious and clinical judgment — amounting to an assault on their rights and on their patients' best interests, according to the CMA.
Additionally, more government intrusion into the art and practice of health care will translate into a further reduction of future medical professionals who have moral or ethical objections to abortion and gender transition procedures for example.
"If I am a high school or college kid and want to go into medicine and I realize I won't be able to do what is right for our patients in all situations, we are going to take the best and brightest and discourage them from this career," Millea said.
"It will become a profession with blinders that become bigger all the time; it will become a closed system with no open debate any longer," he added.
The CMA is calling on every state legislature to enact strong medical conscience rights and religious freedom protections for their state's health care professionals.
Closely monitoring the situation is the Colorado-based Catholic Benefits Association, which provides legal advocacy and litigation in defense of the First Amendment rights for its membership of over 1,000 Catholic employers, including 60 dioceses and archdioceses, numerous religious orders, colleges and universities, hospitals and other ministries.
Attorney Martin Nussbaum of Nussbaum Speir Gleason in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a legal firm which advises the Catholic Benefits Association, said he has begun to review the document.
He believes the association's member health care providers will be substantially protected from the new HHS rule by the injunctive relief from a gender transition services mandate already secured in 2021 and which applies to present association members and future members.
However, unless something changes, most employers in general will be compelled to follow the proposed new HHS gender ideology, which will likely be enforced by the Department of Labor. It would have a broad cost and compliance impact on all U.S. employers and would disallow religious exemptions.
Editor's Note: The full HHS proposal, published under the heading "Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities," can be found on the Federal Register's website at https://bit.ly/3d0wwkJ. The site includes a link to submit comments and provides other ways to submit comments.

At first, I have A,B,C,D constructors called when instantiating object d. After calling these couple of functions, the output is following:
~B()

I understand that there are copy constructors involved while passing a parameter by value and returning the value, but I can't quite understand when and where are these objects being created and destroyed in this case. Thanks in advance!

Home Community Melbourne Opens Up Again After "Long Winter" of Coronvirus Lockdown
Melbourne Opens Up Again After "Long Winter" of Coronvirus Lockdown
Patricia Claus
Photo: pxfuel
After what officials and residents called a "Long Winter" of coronavirus restrictions, and the reporting of zero new coronavirus cases in Victoria, Melbourne's many retail and hospitality industries will be opening up once again.
This report marked the first time since June 9 that no new cases had been detected.
As part of a two-phase plan to reopen the city beginning on Wednesday, restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels will open for business once again on Wednesday. However, there will still be a capacity limit of 20 customers indoors and 50 people outdoors in these establishments.
Now, up to 20 people may also attend outdoor religious ceremonies, with one faith leader holding services.
In what comes as another welcome relief for many, hair and beauty salons and other personal services may now resume operation, and personal training and fitness and dance classes may resume once again, albeit with a limit of ten people — and all classes must be held outdoors.
Outdoor contact sports, such as rugby, may resume, along with all non-contact sports in which adults participate. Outdoor pools may also be used once again as along as the number of swimmers is fewer than 50.
Libraries and other such entities which serve the community, along with all outdoor entertainment venues, may also reopen for outdoor events.
Weddings may also be held once again but there will be an attendance limit of ten people. Up to twenty people may now attend funerals.
Although the government continues to urge all citizens to work from home if at all possible, employers which are not on the permitted list may now reopen as well.
Premier Dan Andrews stated, however, that the 25-km (15-mile) travel limit outside the city will remain for another two weeks, saying "We don't want a situation where people are travelling the length and breadth of the city and we don't want a situation where people are attracted to places of great beauty."
"We don't want everyone down on the Mornington Peninsula or everybody at the 1000 steps or in the Dandenongs. There would be a crowd we would never say yes to."
However, the strict protocols surrounding visits to friends' and relatives' homes will not be lifted at the present time, as Andrews stated "The most dangerous environment for the spread of this virus is in your home. When you have visitors, you let your guard down, and they go back to their house, they have visitors — and all of a sudden there are chains of transmission that spread silently and very quickly."
Further Easing of Rules Expected in November
The Minister added that additional restrictions will be lifted on November 9 if the current positive trend continues, and he foresees that the travel ban, often called a "ring of steel," will be lifted at that time.
"The metropolitan Melbourne regional border will go … the state (of Victoria) will be one again," he said.
"For the purposes of travel and movement, COVID-safety will still be critical, following the rules will still be critical — but that little extra time means that we can align both metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria at that time."
He added that the November phase, if all goes to lan, will mean that pub and restaurant capacities will increase, going up to 40 individuals indoors and 70 people outdoors. All religious services and gatherings will also be allowed to have 20 worshippers indoors and 50 outdoors.
Indoor pools will also be able to host up to 20 swimmers at a time.
However, the rules surrounding the wearing of face coverings will continue as is, with mandatory mask use, including in gyms, the rule across Victoria. People will also continue to be urged to work from home if at all possible.
"Let's Melbourne Again"
Australian Premier Scott Morrison had warm words for the lifting of the strict coronavirus protocols, saying that he was proud of Victorians for how they adhered to the draconian rulings during their lockdown, and praising the "patience and perseverance" of all the citizens of the state.
"After a long winter, there is light at the end of the tunnel for Victorians."
Long Winter
