After finishing up November with a playoff-ish 95-point pace and 15 out of a possible 26 points, the Hurricanes kicked off what will be a road-heavy December on Friday night against the New York Rangers.
December started with a thud and a 5-1 loss. For those who did not watch the game, the 5-1 score is misleading as it includes two empty-net goals and then even an extra power play goal after that from a power play created when a last desperate gasp saw the Hurricanes net a penalty on a failed offside challenge. On the one hand, the adjusted 2-1 score was not nearly as bad as the final score. On the other hand, the circumstances and story were just as bad or worse than 5-1 might make someone feel.
Per my game preview, the Hurricanes started on time and even caught an early break when Justin Williams found the net behind Henrik Lundqvist from nearly wide of the face-off circle for a soft goal and a 1-0 lead only a minute into the game. Other than doing early and often for taking too many 'bleh' penalties, the Hurricanes played a solid first period and exited the first stanza with a 1-0 lead.
But start of the second period featured what could best be described as a chain reaction implosion of a high magnitude. Haydn Fleury took a penalty only 21 seconds into the third period. Then Scott Darling allowed a goal on a gaffe that rivaled his glove 'oops' from last week. He somehow mishandled a harmless dump in from center ice and in the process left it laying right in the crease for David Desharnais to tap in. Only 45 seconds later Phil Di Giuseppe took an offensive zone penalty. And then at the 1:52 mark while playing 4-on-4, Noah Hanifin did very little to impede Kevin Shattenkirk's lane to the outside and nothing to take away any passing lane back to the middle. Shattenkirk found Michael Grabner on the back door with Justin Faulk a step or two behind him. The series of plays first saw the Hurricanes looking like a deer in the headlights as things swirled around them and then look like a team that was deflated for awhile afterward.
The Hurricanes were the better team other than the mini implosion, but especially once Lundqvist settled in seemed too content to just try to play 'beat the goalie' mostly on harmless shots that Lundqvist could track off the shooters' sticks all the way to him.
As noted above, the 5-1 loss is misleading. The game was a 2-1 loss with a bunch of extra shenanigans tacked on once it was mostly over.
Not talking about Scott Darling's 'big oops' would be ignoring the elephant in the room. On a scale of 100, his mishandling would rate pretty close to 100/100 for horrible. The timing was also horrible. The Hurricanes were up 1-0 and the goal seemed to both add to a strangely bad start to the second period and deflate the team. At a basic level, Scott Darling and the Hurricanes goaltending in total continued a rough patch that is growing, and Darling needs to tighten things up and put an end to a run that seems to see him allow a grade A soft goal more often than not recently. That said, I think it is possible to both not excuse the gaffe but also recognize that his game in total was not bad beyond the unfortunate top highlight. Not counting the inconsequential garbage goal, Darling allowed only two goals and had no chance on the second goal which means that a decent night offensively could have helped bail him out.
I think another key story is the team's reaction. The bad goal happened less than a minute into the second period and made for a tie score at 1-1. I really think that was a point in time where the team needed to respond. Be it a couple really strong shifts with some physical play, a higher level of intensity, a key bounce back goal or something. Instead, Darling's 'oops' seemed to start the snowball down the hill. The goal against was followed by an offensive zone penalty, another goal against on a defensive breakdown and then a stretch of subdued play as the Hurricanes tried to regain their balance.
Justin Williams' post-game interview was refreshing and case in point for why he was my choice to be named captain. He was clearly agitated and salty about the result, stated very clearly that the results versus the Rangers were not good enough and had nothing to do with taking the easy way out and hanging the result on the soft goal.
As the team continues to tread water within range of a playoff spot but also a short burst of badness for being right where they were a year ago, I hope Justin Williams' cantankerous tone, agitated demeanor and level of desperation are contagious and can help effect a change in mentality.
Not counting the penalty at the end for the failed coach's challenge, the Hurricanes took six penalties. After most of the 2017-18 season taking very few penalties, the team has recently been giving up power plays in bunches. I think it goes hand in hand with the general sloppiness and lack of attention to detail that is permeating other areas of the team's game right now and maybe most notably showing up on the number of defensive break downs of late.
After a run of stronger play defensively, he had a rough game on Friday. He was beaten to the net for the Rangers' second goal and also had a bad turnover and a few other 'iffy' plays when the Hurricanes were struggling.
In total, the Hurricanes have done a better job of getting bodies and pucks to the front of the net of late, especially on the power play. But sitting below the uglier headlines was the fact that the Hurricanes seemed to revert to 'try to beat the goalie' again without enough chaos in front of the net. Because the Hurricanes really do not have enough players whose naturally tendency is to go to the front of the net, I fear that this could continue to be up and down all year as Peters and the coaches harping about it is oftentimes offset by long-time habits that see players in different roles.
Next up is a quick turnaround and a game against the Florida Panthers at PNC Arena on Saturday night. With a win, the Hurricanes can salvage a treading water 1-1-1 mark before the December road trip begins in earnest.
Faulk needs to go. Canes team looked completely disorganized, confused, and flat. Make Williams captain. I will say the most lopsided officiating I've seen this year. Also Darling's mulligans are officially cut off. The door in the metro is going to close fast. Better make some changes quick.
For me this game was the confirmation that without a major shake up the Canes are officially out of the playoffs.
* The goaltending is not good enough. As Trip kept saying, it's not the saves you make, it's the ones you let in. Darling simply is not getting the job done for us. He is a great guy, and I still hope he can find a way, but if he does it will alrady be too late for this season.
* Faulk's play is just bad. NO scoring, defensive lapses in bunches. I don't know if he is dealing with injury, or fatique or frustration, but this kid is not finding his game right now. AGain, he might, but only when it's too late (not unless he finds his game starting tomorrow and goes on a scoring binge on the roadttip).
* Skinner's scoring is MIA. Not counting the meaningless goal against the Stars a few weeks ago, he hasn't scored in weeks, and he is supposed to be our top scorer.
* The team never looked like mounting a serious challenge against the Rangers after the first period, in a 4 point game, against the team most likely to take the last wildcard spot.
* Team taking 7 penalties.
* Rask looking lost again, Lindholm not looking good.
* BP letting JJ sit for a game, despite being one of the team's best players (granted, maybe he is under the weather or nursing an injury, we don't know, but if not, that is a downright puzzling decision).
The Canes have managed to scratch and claw their way to a better-than-last-year record, but the problem is that many of those wins looked like combination of either unusual goaltending or scoring luck. Out of all the games this year I think only 2 or 3 are solid wins where the team had it all figured out. I think, all things considered, the Canes have been lucky this year and their record is better than their performance.
Sadly, I feel like I have been teleported to the last 4 (make it 8) seasons, where the team is going to play well enough not to get top talent in the draft but not well enough for the playoffs. With budget getting a lot tighter next year, the ownership situation in flux, our only hope is for a miracle or for one of the upcoming Checkers or Nichas to be given a chance and be able to change the picture for next year.
This is the point where changes have to be made or this season is official depositatum est latrina, to use the pig Latin term.
I stand by what I said before the PHX game, if they lost that game they should fire the staff. We can't get all new players but we should have done something. Now it's almost to late to get a new coach and have any chance of making the playoffs.
I would trade both Faulk and Skinner. They have high trade value and they can't really help this team to take the next step. For those two players it should be possible to get some real impact player(s) in return.
Skinner could be a valuable player in the playoffs but the Canes really should start getting there first and worry about the rest later.
I have only watched the Canes after TT and Aho joined the team so I don't really know how Faulk and Skinner have played before last season. Skinner can score goals but he doesn't have any chemistry with anyone. He never makes his linemates better. He actually always seems to make them worse.
Can't hang this one on Darling. I think the old cliche about goalies bailing out the team is funny, because the bigger problem is our offense can't even bail out themselves. Wide angle shots all night lead to lost points and lower place in standings. Good on Williams for stepping up and saying it.
Since the beginning of the season I (and a few others) have been saying we are one offensive catalyst and veteran defenseman away from seriously becoming a playoff contender. To obtain this, we have to trade something good. I agree with finnishcold, Faulk needs to be dealt and he can turn it around with another team. Skinner is a great east/west skater and has streaks of gold in him, but he's not a guy to put the team on his shoulders (think Messier type).
The problem is management as a whole is too patient and believing the analytics will somehow take this team to the playoffs. I agree to be patient and build around Aho, TT and the rest of the young guns especially on defense. But for the next 2-3 years we need to change the culture otherwise the young players will not want to re-sign here. We have enough issues bringing in veteran guys because of the environment that is harbored.
The dynamic of this team is simply off and needs fixing. Trade a few pieces while we can, and do it fast otherwise the entire Metro division will be looking at us from their rear view mirror.
I agree with analysis in Matt's summary, but will add one more important dimension seldom written down in the world of hockey.
And that is… all Hurricanes games refereed by Tim Peel look about like this one. All teams know if they flop and dive he will call penalties against us. The game opened with Lindquist going full snow angel, after the first cane got close to the crease he flopped onto his back with his arms out like he had been shot. Peel didn't call that one, but he asserted himself early and often. On the PDG holding penalty it looked like PDG was actually trying to keep a flopping ranger on his feet.
When Lindholm received the slashing penalty in the third, I cheered out loud because it was a real slash.
Our net front presence is eliminated by the way the game is officiated. Go back and watch most any Tim Peel game and it features lots of shooting from the outside with no net front presence. Net front presence gets you time on the box and everybody knows it.
The early Toronto win was remarkable because it was a Brad Watson refereed game. Note that our goals all came off face offs and the rush on that one, no cycling with net front presence. Not allowed.
I used to request a refund for my ticket when either of those clowns came to town.
It is a serious and persistent dirty secret in the NHL that will have to be resolved with the referee's union. The fans and players and teams deserve an NHL with a commitment to neutrality and consistency that we see in the NFL.
Matt, I would not be offended if you delete this comment for obvious reasons.
There's not much more to add, sooooo other than pretty much agreeing with everyone, I think it's time to FIX THE PROBLEM WITH MANAGEMENT…yes STARTING AT THE TOP…BYE BYE Ronnie!

We recently migrated our team's repositories (103 of them) to Bitbucket. For the past few years we had been hosting them on a Gitolite (v1) instance that we had set up at git.designhammer.net and were maintaining on a Rackspace slice. This setup served us very well but moving to Bitbucket was an easy choice, given that we didn't want to spend our time maintaining the Gitolite instance, and the cost of Bitbucket would be about the same.
After we decided to make the switch, migrating to Bitbucket was really easy. Here's a quick guide to how we went about the process as well as some gotchas to look out for.
First we created a DesignHammer team in Bitbucket, invited our colleagues, and then added them to the team. Bitbucket offers the same granularity that Gitolite supports in assigning permissions and roles on a per-repository basis, as well as defining roles for different people on your team, but of course the administration is a lot simpler since its through the Bitbucket UI, instead of Gitolite's configuration file.
As part of this process, make sure your colleagues upload their SSH keys to their Bitbucket account so they are not locked out of pushing/pulling to repos.
Ok, now it's time to point our migration script at the repos.txt file and push them up to Bitbucket. One thing to note: run this script in a temporary directory from a server you control, not from your laptop; the network speeds will be much better if this is run in the cloud.
As you can see this is a very simple script built around git clone --bare and git push --mirror. These commands are important as they ensure that all tags and branches are migrated over to Bitbucket. You can also see in the API call to Bitbucket that we're setting the owner to designhammer and that the visibility of the repos should be private. Finally, the local copy of the repo is removed so we don't fill up the server with repos it doesn't need.
Each developer had to remove the entry in their ~/.ssh/known_hosts for git.designhammer.net (since the IP address had changed to Bitbucket's).
In each repo that had been cloned from git.designhammer.net, each developer had to edit .git/config to modify the clone URL. So what used to be git@git.designhammer.net:some-repo had to be changed to git@git.designhammer.net:designhammer/some-repo (note the addition of designhammer/). This makes sense, as the repo is now under the designhammer account on Bitbucket.
Don't forget to also use Bitbucket's deploy keys if you are checking out the repo on a server for pushing code to an environment.
And that's it! The whole process — from decision to implementation — took just a few hours, and it was well worth the effort. I hope this guide will be useful to you if you decide to migrate as well. Let us know in the comments if you have any suggestions or tips to improve this guide.
You might want to check out the 'import repository' option (https://bitbucket.org/repo/import) that Bitbucket offer. Perhaps, that option was not available when you posted this in early 2014.
For some reason rm command not working for me.

Businesses could benefit greatly by giving leaders permission to bring 'feminine' traits to work, director of WDI Consulting Lynn White told HR magazine.
White, whose consultancy specialises in the three areas of transformation, feminine leadership and coaching, says that both men and women should be encouraged to embrace those characteristics of flexibility, sensitivity, empathy and interdependence, which have historically been associated with females.
She said such traits are important in balancing out the typically masculine-trait dominated dynamics of many leadership teams.
White said that allowing women to bring their "whole selves", including their 'feminine' qualities, to work will address a still persisting drop-off rate of women progressing from middle to senior management roles, which WDI terms "threshold theft".
Encouraging everyone to engage with those qualities often not deemed useful in a work context can help companies boost a range of functions, she said, giving the example of approaching employee engagement surveys.
"It's no longer the person who is the expert and has all the data, it's the person who can ask the right questions and find the patterns in that data and see the wider connectivity," said White.
"It's beginning to engage in different qualities of conversation," she added of the general benefits of a more 'feminine' approach.
White said that giving people permission to bring these traits to work could be done overtly or covertly. The latter is particularly ideal when encouraging men to embrace 'feminine' traits, and in working with women who see referring to certain qualities as innately 'feminine' or 'masculine' as taboo.
"In the large US insurance company we're working with for example, we're not using the word overtly. But the idea is introduced in terms of how we role model it, in terms of how we're engaging with those leaders," explained White.
She reported that the concept of feminine qualities to enhance leadership is gaining traction.

Queues: NNPC GMD assures motorists of petrol availability
By Obas Esiedesa
ExpressDay October 27, 2020, 10:45 pm 20 Views
The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mallam Mele Kyari, has assured motorists of ample availability of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol), disclosing that the Corporation has more than 60-day sufficiency of petrol in its various strategic depots across the country.
The Corporation in a statement issued by its Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr. Kennie Obateru, on Tuesday attributed the emergence of queues in some petrol stations across the country to the disruption of the free flow of vehicular movement occasioned by curfews and restrictions of movement, particularly in Lagos State.
Mallam Kyari urged motorists not to engage in panic-buying of petroleum products as the NNPC has over two billion litres of petrol in stock to guarantee steady supply and at least 60-day-product supply sufficiency nationwide.
"The disruptions or curtailment of free flow of vehicular movement occasioned by the 'End SARS Protests' and the attendant curfews, restrictions, and vandalism, particularly in Lagos obviously affected petroleum products movement and distribution. With the easing of the curfews and restrictions of movement by various state governors, normalcy is expected to return to the petroleum products supply chain in the next couple of days," Mallam Kyari reassured.
The GMD expressed NNPC's commitment to a zero-fuel queue scenario, maintaining that the Corporation has emplaced measures that would guarantee energy security for the country.

Trapping biosynthetic acyl-enzyme intermediates with encoded 2,3-diaminopropionic acid

Biosynthesis
Chemical modification
Many enzymes catalyse reactions that proceed through covalent acyl-enzyme (ester or thioester) intermediates1. These enzymes include serine hydrolases2,3 (encoded by one per cent of human genes, and including serine proteases and thioesterases), cysteine proteases (including caspases), and many components of the ubiquitination machinery4,5. Their important acyl-enzyme intermediates are unstable, commonly having half-lives of minutes to hours6. In some cases, acyl-enzyme complexes can be stabilized using substrate analogues or active-site mutations but, although these approaches can provide valuable insight7,8,9,10, they often result in complexes that are substantially non-native. Here we develop a strategy for incorporating 2,3-diaminopropionic acid (DAP) into recombinant proteins, via expansion of the genetic code11. We show that replacing catalytic cysteine or serine residues of enzymes with DAP permits their first-step reaction with native substrates, allowing the efficient capture of acyl-enzyme complexes that are linked through a stable amide bond. For one of these enzymes, the thioesterase domain of valinomycin synthetase12, we elucidate the biosynthetic pathway by which it progressively oligomerizes tetradepsipeptidyl substrates to a dodecadepsipeptidyl intermediate, which it then cyclizes to produce valinomycin. By trapping the first and last acyl-thioesterase intermediates in the catalytic cycle as DAP conjugates, we provide structural insight into how conformational changes in thioesterase domains of such nonribosomal peptide synthetases control the oligomerization and cyclization of linear substrates. The encoding of DAP will facilitate the characterization of diverse acyl-enzyme complexes, and may be extended to capturing the native substrates of transiently acylated proteins of unknown function.

Extended Data Fig. 1 Schematic representation and reaction cycle of a canonical NRPS.
a, Schematic representation of a generic type I NRPS. The square brackets denote a single module. b, i–vii, Synthetic cycle of a canonical elongation module. NRPSs assemble peptides from amino acyl and other small acyl building blocks using a modular and thio-templated logic. A canonical NRPS is composed of one module for every residue in the peptide product. The initiation module contains an adenylation (A) domain, which binds cognate acyl substrate and performs adenylation and transfer of that substrate as a thioester on the phosphopantetheine arm (PPE, shown as a wavy line) of a peptidyl carrier protein (PCP) domain, for transport between active sites. Each elongation module contains an A and a PCP domain, and also a condensation (C) domain, which condenses aminoacyl and peptidyl substrates bound to PCP domains, thus progressively elongating the nascent chain. Termination modules contain C, A and PCP domains, and a specialized terminating/offloading domain responsible for the release of the peptide in its final form. The most common and most versatile terminating domain in NRPSs is the TE domain. Similar TE domains terminate synthesis in polyketide and fatty acid synthases. PPi, diphosphate; aa, amino acid.
Extended Data Fig. 2 Genetically directing DAP incorporation in recombinant proteins.
a, Structure of DAP and the protected versions investigated herein. 1, 2,3-diaminopropionic acid (DAP); 2, (S)-3-(((allyloxy)carbonyl)amino)-2-aminopropanoic acid; 3, (S)-2-amino-3-((2-nitrobenzyl)amino)propanoic acid; 4, (2S)-2-amino-3-((1-(6-nitrobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)ethyl)amino)propanoic acid; 5, (2S)-2-amino-3-(((1-(6-nitrobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)ethoxy)carbonyl)amino)propanoic acid; 6, (2S)-2-amino-3-(((2-((1-(6-nitrobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)ethyl)thio)ethoxy)carbonyl)amino)propanoic acid. Calculated logP values are indicated (calculated using the Molinspiration molecular property calculation services at www.molinspiration.com/cgi-bin/properties). b–f, Determining the intracellular concentration of compounds 2–6 by an LC–MS assay, performed on extracts. The dark-blue trace represents a 100 µM standard for each compound. The light-blue trace represents a 10 µM standard for each compound. The red trace results from cells grown in the absence of the compound. The brown trace results from cells grown in the absence of the compound, but spiked with the compound to 100 µM. The green trace results from cells grown in the presence of 1 mM compound. The experiments were repeated in two biological replicates with similar results. g, Phenotyping of the DAPRS/tRNACUA pair. Cells containing the DAPRS/tRNACUA pair and cat(112TAG) (encoding a chloramphenicol-resistance gene containing an amber stop codon (TAG) at codon 112) were plated in the presence or absence of 6 on the indicated concentrations of chloramphenicol. The experiment was performed in two biological replicates with similar results. h, The side chain of 6 (grey sticks) was modelled into the active site of PylRS using a co-crystal structure of PylRS and adenylated pyrrolysine (PDB accession number 2ZIM31). PylRS is displayed in pale yellow and amino-acid positions randomized in DAPRSlib are shown in marine blue.
Extended Data Fig. 3 Stably trapping the acyl-enzyme intermediate of a cysteine protease.
a, Different variants of TEV protease (shown at the top) were reacted with Ub–tev–His. The use of TEV(wt) results in cleavage of the TEV cleavage sequence. The use of TEV(C151A) results in minimal cleavage. The presence of DAP in the active site of TEV results in the presence of an extra band in the Coomassie gel, representing the isopeptide-linked TEV(C151DAP)–Ub complex. b, c, Anti-streptavidin (α-strep; b) and anti-Ub (α-Ub antibody P4D1; c) western blots of the reactions confirm the identity of the complex. For a–c, the experiment was repeated in two biological replicates with similar results. d, Tandem mass spectrometry following tryptic digest of the TEV(C151DAP)–Ub conjugate confirms amide-bond formation at the expected position. Top, the sequence of the branched peptide subject to fragmentation. Fragmentation of the substrate chain is predicted to lead to a series of y ions (yellow) and a series of b ions (green); the ions from this chain are labelled as 'β'. Fragmentation of the TEV(C151DAP)-derived chain is predicted to lead to a series of y ions (blue) and a series of b ions (red); the ions from this chain are labelled as 'α'. Bottom, MS/MS spectra with peak assignments. Ions in the α-chain were assigned by treating DAP and the β-chain as a modification of known mass. Ions in the β-chain were manually assigned. The mass-spectrometry analysis was performed once.
Extended Data Fig. 4 Chemical structures of key Vlm TE substrates and products.
The chemical structures and the numbers used to refer to them are shown.
Extended Data Fig. 5 The mechanism by which by Vlm TE catalyses oligomerization.
Oligomerization could conceivably take place in two ways. a, In the first scenario, 'forward transfer', the distal hydroxyl group of the tetradepsipeptidyl–O-TE complex attacks the thioester group in the tetradepsipeptidyl–S-PCP enzyme intermediate, directly forming octadepsipeptidyl–O-TE as a product. b, In the second scenario, 'reverse transfer', the distal hydroxyl group of the tetradepsipeptidyl–S-PCP complex attacks the ester group in the tetradepsipeptidyl–O-TE enzyme intermediate, forming octadepsipeptidyl–S-PCP as a product, which would then need to be transferred onto the TE-domain serine (here labelled as 're-capture'). c, d, Analogous scenarios involving tetradepsipeptidyl–SNAC (7) as the substrate instead of tetradepsipeptidyl–S-PCP. e, f, EICs (HR LC–ESI-MS) of a mix of 7 (1.7 mM) and buffer (e), or the products of a reaction between 7 (1.7 mM) and Vlm TEDAP (6.5 μM) (f). g–i, EICs (low-resolution (LR) LC–ESI-MS) of reactions using a higher-volume injection into an ion-trap MS instrument. g, The higher-volume injection of a reaction of 7 (1.7 mM) and Vlm TEwt (6.5 μM) enabled detection of a peak consistent with the 20-mer depsipeptidyl–SNAC (24). h, LC ion-trap MS of the reaction of 7 (1.7 mM) and Vlm TEDAP (6.5 μM). i, Small amounts of the cyclic 16-mer depsipeptide 29 elute during post-run column clean-up of experiment shown in g. j, EICs (HR LC–ESI-MS) of products of reactions between Vlm TEwt (6.5 μM) and a mix of 7 and deoxy-tetradepsipeptidyl–SNAC (8; 1.7 mM of each). TEwt produces the intermediates deoxy-octadepsipeptidyl–SNAC (12), deoxy-dodecadepsipeptidyl–SNAC (16) and deoxy 16-mer depsipeptidyl–SNAC (20), confirming the reaction pathway shown in b. See 'Supplementary Methods for Statistics and Reproducibility' for accurate mass analysis and deviations from calculated m/z values of each compound. The experiments in e–i were repeated independently twice with similar results. Mass-spectrometry analysis of the experiment in j was performed once.
Extended Data Fig. 6 Structures of Vlm TEwt and tetradepsipeptidyl–TEDAP, and top-down LC–ESI-MS of Vlm TEwt.
a, Secondary-structure elements of Vlm TE; the naming is based on the convention for α/β-hydrolase proteins. b, Comparison of two TEwt structures (PDB accession numbers 6ECB and 6ECC). The active-site lid of the first structure (light grey) is nearly completely ordered, whereas the lid of second structure (dark grey) shows density for Lα3, Lα4 and Lα5 only. In the second structure, Lα3 is rotated 10° towards the active site. c, Deconvoluted mass spectra of TEwt incubated with different substrates. Solid line, buffer control: expected molecular mass 31,028.22 Da; observed 31,028.75 Da. Dashed line, TEwt incubated with tetradepsipeptidyl–SNAC: expected 31,028.22 Da (unmodified) and 31,399.44 Da (modified); observed 31,026.29 Da. Dotted line, TEwt incubated with valinomycin: expected 31,028.22 Da (unmodified) and 32,139.86 Da (modified); observed 31,027.01 Da. Experiments were repeated independently twice with similar results. d, Comparison of near-identical conformations of TEwt (light grey; 6ECB) and tetradepsipeptidyl–TEDAP (tan and dark grey; 6ECD).
Extended Data Fig. 7 Expression and substrate conjugation to Vlm TE containing DAP at position 2463.
a, Following expression and purification of Vlm TEDAP, the protein was loaded on an SDS–PAGE gel and Coomassie stained; the experiment was repeated in two biological replicates with similar results. b, The deprotection of 6 in TEDAP–strep was followed by ESI-MS analysis. Green trace, purified TEDAP–strep containing 6 at position 2463: expected mass 32,364.6 Da, observed 32,365.78 Da. Red trace, TEDAP–strep containing 6 at position 2463 following illumination to convert 6 to the intermediate: expected 32,171.56 Da, observed 32,168.48 Da; and further incubation (1 h, 4 °C) to convert the intermediate to product: expected 32,067.62 Da, observed 32,068 Da). Blue trace, TEDAP–strep containing 6 at position 2,463 following illumination (to convert 6 to the intermediate) and further incubation (10 h, 4 °C) to convert the intermediate to DAP (1): expected 32,067.62 Da; observed, 32,067.84 Da. The experiment was repeated in two biological replicates with similar results. c, Purified TEDAP after illumination and intermediate fragmentation: expected 31,027.24 Da, observed 31,026.95 Da and 31,131.82 Da. d, TEDAP incubated with tetradepsipeptidyl–SNAC 7: expected 31,027.24 Da (unmodified) and 31,398.69 Da (modified); observed 31,025.92 Da and 31,396.55 Da. The experiments in c, d were repeated independently twice with similar results.
Extended Data Fig. 8 Electron density of the active site of covalent depsipeptidyl–TEDAP complexes.
Unbiased mFo – DFc maps (green mesh, contoured at 2.5σ), calculated before depsipeptide residues were placed in the model. DAP (brown) and depsipeptide residues (cyan) are depicted as sticks. a, Tetradepsipeptidyl–TEDAP (PDB accession number 6ECD). b–g, Dodecadepsipeptidyl–TEDAP P1 space-group structure (6ECF), with crystallographically independent molecules A to F shown in sequential order. h, i, Dodecadepsipeptidyl–TEDAP H3 space group (6ECE), for crystallographically independent molecules A and B. j–l, Electron density of the active site of covalent depsipeptidyl–TEDAP complexes extends beyond modelled depsipeptides. Unbiased mFo – DFc maps (green mesh, contoured at 2.5σ), calculated before depsipeptide residues were placed in the model, for dodecadepsipeptidyl–TEDAP P1 space-group structure, with crystallographically independent molecules A, B and D in sequential order. The observed electron density that extends beyond the modelled depsipeptides (cyan sticks) could accommodate extra depsipeptide residues in different orientations. However, unambiguous modelling into this density could not be achieved.
Extended Data Fig. 9 Modelling of interaction between the PCP domain and TE domain and putative pathway.
a, Superimposition of dodecadepsipeptidyl–TEDAP with the structure of the EntF PCP–TE didomain32 (PDB accession number 3TEJ) shows the path of the PPE moiety to the active site. b, Hypothetical pathway for oligomerization and cyclization, starting from octadepsipeptidyl–TE. i, The position of Lα1 in the observed apo/tetradepsipeptide conformation promotes an extended peptide conformation. ii, The tetradepsipeptidyl–PCP accepts the octadepsipeptide onto its terminal hydroxyl, perhaps using a dodecadepsipeptide-like lid conformation which could accommodate the roughly 30-Å tetradepsipeptidyl–PPE bound to the PCP domain and guide it towards the active site. iii, The PCP domain presents the thioester for transfer back to serine 2463. iv, Finally, the lid conformation observed in the dodecadepsipeptide–TEDAP structures could help to curl the dodecadepsipeptide back towards serine 2463 for cyclization.

Animation of a feasible transition between observed conformations of the Vlm TE lid. Note that the apo/tetradepsipeptidyl-bound and dodecadepsipeptidyl-bound conformations observed in this study are each in a cluster of similar conformations, rather than on single conformation. For simplicity, one representative apo/tetradepsipeptidyl-bound and one representative dodecadepsipeptidyl-bound conformation was used in the making of this animation.
Animation of a second feasible transition between observed conformations of the Vlm TE lid.

Last night, just after I got home, and was preparing to eat food, I heard a lot of crashing sounds from an adjacent room. It wasn't Chris, Sarita wasn't home, and it wasn't me. That only left Setzer. And, yeah, it was Setzer. He tore out of Chris' room, ran into the dining room, turned around, skidding through the kitchen. He had a plastic bag stuck around his body, and he figured running would get him safe.
Now, this happened with Morlock once, but on that occasion, I saw him right away after hearing the noise, and dove to grab the bag before he got away. It was easy.
Setzer ran downstairs into the basement, knocking a few things down as he passed them at top speed. He finally stopped under a chair, breathing fast. I spelled cat pee, and wasn't sure if it was new or old. Setzer tends not to pee in inappropriate places, so I was pretty sure it was fresh. And it was. Apparently, he'd wet himself in his terror. I tried to pick him up, but his claws were wrapped around the metal chair leg. He didn't struggle when I tried to separate his paws, just stayed there stiffly.
I met up with Chris upstairs, and he removed the bag while I held Setzer up. The bag was pretty shredded, and came off easily when removed with human hands, but still wouldn't have easily come off for Setzer. I felt badly about the next decision to make, but it had to be done. Setzer needed a bath, since he'd wet himself. So, back-to-back trauma for the nice gray cat. I gave him a good rinse where he seemed wet, and got a few claw marks along the way. I'm glad I keep his claws fairly trimmed, or this would have been even more painful for me.
Afterward, Setzer's tail was wet, and non-fluffy. So strange!

Unsettling, but Mansion House was not a violent protest | UK News
By Ian King, business presenter
As I joined the 350 or so guests arriving at the Lord Mayor of London's residence, at the Mansion House last night, there was little inkling of the disruption that was to come.
The City grandees, attired in black tie garb or elegant evening dresses, queued and chatted good-naturedly as they went through the Mansion House's airport-style security before handing their coats and bags in at the cloakroom which stands immediately in front of the scanner.
Soon after the warm welcome for Chancellor Philip Hammond, events took a strange turn.
They were escorted out by staff
Barely two minutes into his speech, it became clear that a number of people had entered the room from the main doorway – perhaps 10, certainly no more than a dozen.
Most were women, all clad in red full-length dresses, not dissimilar to the ones being worn by the hostesses in the hall, the only difference being that they were clad with suffragette-style sashes, that read "Climate Emergency".
There were only a couple of men and they were dressed in black tie and dinner jackets like all the other men.
An air raid-style siren was being played from a speaker mounted on the back of one of the men with a voice-over that said: "This is a climate emergency."

One of the women moved down the aisle and began reading a prepared speech that was aimed at Mr Hammond.
A City of London Corporation employee blocked her from getting any closer to the top table while other officials sought to usher the protesters from the hall.
Another woman began reading a similar speech.
Others, as they were being escorted from the hall, threw rape alarms at the guests.
One landed below my chair.
They also distributed leaflets headed: "The speech we need in a climate emergency."
The interruption was moderately unsettling but it quickly became clear, mercifully, that this was not a violent protest.
Mr Hammond's speech was interrupted
The treatment of the protesters that I witnessed was pretty gentle, to say the least, with most of the women being escorted from the room being taken out by other women.
I did not see the incident involving the MP, Mark Field, who was at the opposite end of the hall.
But I saw very little evidence of heavy-handedness.
The guests remained remarkably calm.
Most were bemused by the demonstration.
Contrary to what some people might think, most City folk are pretty liberal types.
Most of the guests who will have been in attendance are senior people in their jobs, by and large middle-aged men and women, who will no doubt in many cases, as they watched the protesters, have thought back fondly to the days when they too might have been protesters or student agitators.
Many will have sons or daughters at college and who come home at weekends and habitually lecture them on climate change.
They are aware of the climate change issue and will, in many cases, be engaged with tackling it as part of their jobs.
Accordingly, they were quite happy for the protesters to say their piece, provided they didn't ramble on.
It was only when the protest looked like going on for more than a few minutes that a few guests started to lose patience with them and began to heckle.
Yet the whole affair seemed rather good-natured and typically English.
The City or London Corporation's security guards were considerably more genteel than the bouncers one sees in a nightclub when trouble kicks off or at a boisterous pub at chucking-out time on a Saturday night.
The protest was not violent
As the last of the protesters left the room, Mr Hammond resumed his speech, noting: "The irony, of course, is that this is the government that has just led the world by committing to a zero carbon economy by 2050."
His sally was greeted with a roar of approval.
It was ironic, too, that Mark Carney's speech also unveiled a new initiative under which the Bank will, from 2021, begin stress-testing the resilience of the UK's financial sector to climate change. It is a subject the governor clearly cares about deeply.
Outside, the corporation's officials were trying to make sense of how the protesters got in.
The consensus was that an insider had opened a side door to the protesters.
The fact that the protesters had apparently even known what the hostesses at the dinner were wearing, so as to blend in, points to a degree of planning and inside knowledge.
This is a cause for concern.
The security at Mansion House was clearly overwhelmed by the Greenpeace protesters and, had the infiltrators instead been terrorists armed with knives or guns, there could have been severe bloodshed.
To that end, Greenpeace has probably done the City of London Corporation a favour, although guests at next year's Mansion House dinner will have to remind themselves of that as they endure what will doubtless be a far more stringent security process.

From now until June 2017 I have the great privilege of being the dlr Writer in Residence. I have a lovely room on the top floor of the Lexicon Library in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin and I'm hosting lots of book clubs, writing clubs and book events. October has been such a fun month.
We kicked off our Teen Creatives series with a writing workshop with the wonderful Dave Rudden. Dave's first book, Knights of the Borrowed Dark came out in March this year and is a stunning piece of work – a fantasy-adventure with lots of twists.
Dave explained that his book is basically a 'Kid Discovers Magic' story – but he made it different to all the other books based on a similar premise (including a certain young wizard) by asking himself questions about the plot and the main character.
He gave a fantastic workshop – thanks, Dave!
The Book Club gave Boy by Roald Dahl the thumbs up and also loved Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan. Everyone agreed that the artwork was amazing.
Next month's books are Imaginary Fred by Eoin Colfer and Oliver Jeffers and Beyond the Stars, edited by me!
The young writers visited the Municipal Gallery in the Lexicon and wrote short pieces about some of the art works. We talked about the art and how it made us feel. It's a wonderful exhibition called Lines of Negotiation and is all about our relationship with the landscape.
Have you ever written a short story inspired by the landscape? I'd be interested to know.
I also visited our family crypt under St Michan's Church in Dublin. It was quite the experience. If you've never been down there, do go – it's fascinating and full of history.
I was back in Dalkey for Baby Book Club and we made these spooky ghosts with cotton wool. Our theme: Hallowe'en of course!
More about my Writer in Residence year next month! Until then, happy reading and writing, everyone!

Maroondah City Council is an active participant in the Eastern Transport Coalition (ETC).
The ETC comprises the municipalities of Greater Dandenong, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Monash, Whitehorse and Yarra Ranges. The group advocates for sustainable, active and integrated transport in the eastern region of Melbourne to improve liveability and reduce car dependence for over one million people living in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
The ETC believes that all levels of government have a role to play in the delivery of sustainable transport. Local government has the responsibility to advocate on behalf of its constituents, the State Government must fund the necessary infrastructure and reliable, frequent and readily available services and the Federal Government should also provide funding for infrastructure.
Public Transport is crucial to the growth and wellbeing of our communities. The ETC strives to give commuters in Melbourne's east access to safe and convenient public transport modes with frequent and reliable services.
Commuters Count is an ETC campaign which aims to increase funding for, and accelerate the delivery of, significant public transport projects in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The ETC seeks the basics: transport that meets the needs of commuters and reduces environmental impact.
The initiatives promoted by the ETC are crucial to the eastern region's growing business opportunities, thriving job market, clean air and liveable communities. Through the ETC, you can be part of the movement to expand and improve public transport in Melbourne's east.

As educators, we spend much time reading and studying. We know reading is the foundation skill for learning. Perhaps in your classroom you have compiled many books to share with young learners that demonstrate the importance of reading. Sometimes we use bookends to support the series of books and make the book titles stand out. My sister knows my love for horses and gave to me a pair of glass horse bookends that I proudly use to support the many resource books I have on grants, RFPs and other funding sources. By positioning them on the opposite ends, this pair of supports enables my books to be easily accessible to me. Lately in my survey of grants, I am seeing the bookends of education quickly becoming a growing funding movement. The bookends of education are Early Learning and Workforce Development.
As the 2019-2020 school year approaches, consider how your school offers solutions to support the bookends of education. Perhaps you offer solutions to benefit the Whole Learner. Look to funding to support the continuum of learning. It is available, here and now!

Sun City hosts inaugural Volunteer Fair this weekend
By DeeAnna Wilkerson Sun City Community Association
All Sun City residents looking to give back to the community both inside and outside its gates are invited to Sun City's first Volunteer Fair 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Pinckney Hall.
The leadership development committee, a Sun City board appointed committee, decided to host the inaugural fair in an effort to increase awareness of the value of volunteer work.
A subcommittee led by Ron Wilson brought together experienced volunteers from inside and outside Sun City to discuss ways to motivate volunteerism among residents, committee member Elissa Passiment said.
"One crucial idea that led to this fair was that our residents have such varied backgrounds and interests and we do not have opportunities that match their interests inside the community. We believe that when residents feel fulfilled, they are proud of where they live and proud of what they are contributing, and all of Sun City benefits from that," Passiment said.
More than 40 local and national nonprofit organizations will be represented at the fair to appeal to a wide variety of interests. From helping animals with Jasper Animal Rescue Mission to working with children for Sandbox Children's Museum, there is sure to be something for everyone at this event.
History buffs may be interested in stopping by the Heyward House booth and those with medical backgrounds might want to learn more about volunteering with the Hospital Auxiliary of Hilton Head Regional or the Bluffton Jasper Volunteers in Medicine.
Made of entirely Sun City resident volunteers, Staying Connected will be on hand to provide insight on all the organization has to offer. Other nonprofits registered to attend include Osprey Village, Bluffton Self Help, United Way, Second Helpings, Lowcountry SCORE, Lowcountry Legal Volunteers, God's Goods Thrift Store and many more.
With more than 16,000 residents, many of whom are retired, Sun City is the ideal place to host a fair of this nature, Passiment said.
"Many Sun City residents are incredibly talented and caring. As our community grows, new residents are excited about pursuing current interests and new opportunities that they might not have been able to pursue prior to moving here. A fair is a great way for our residents to meet with and learn about all that our new home has to offer," she said.
Light refreshments will be served during the fair, including sub slices, cookies and water. Passiment encourages fellow residents to stop by and browse the opportunities available.
"Volunteering is a wonderful way to meet new people, pursue new interests and help shape the community we live in," she said.
What: Volunteer Fair
When: Fair 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday
Where: Pinckney Hall
Cost: Free; open to Sun City residents only

Mary Hatcher (June 6, 1929 – April 3, 2018) was an American coloratura soprano and actress whose screen career spanned the years from 1946-51. During that time she appeared in eight films, mostly in credited roles and several times as leading lady.

Early life and career

At the time of Mary's birth, her father, William Frank Hatcher, was employed by the Polk Company, a large citrus canning firm owned by Ralph Polk Sr. When the company relocated to Tampa, Florida, the Hatcher family followed. Hatcher grew up in Tampa, attending Gorrie Elementary and Woodrow Wilson Junior High, where she often sang at student assemblies, her favorite song being "Alice Blue Gown".

Her father's employer, Ralph Polk, heard one of her weekly broadcasts that featured operatic and classical songs, and he provided funds so that she could obtain professional voice training, including attending the Gardner School for Girls and the school of Queens Mario of the Metropolitan Opera.

During the early months of World War II, Hatcher sang at a number of events in Tampa to raise money for British War Relief. In 1941, her mother took her to New York City, where she performed at Carnegie Hall. While in New York, continued financial aid from Polk enabled Hatcher to obtain vocal instruction from the Juilliard School of Music.

Film career

By 1944, the Hatcher family had moved to California, and in August that year Paramount Pictures signed Mary to a seven-year contract. When she was 15, Hatcher was selected to play Laurey in a road production of Oklahoma!  At the same time, she was already signed to the movie contract, but her film debut was delayed for a year while she toured with the play.

In 1946, she made her first film appearance, an uncredited role as a chorus girl in M-G-M's Till the Clouds Roll By. Her first credited screen role came later that year when she played Dibs Downing in Our Hearts Were Growing Up. She had another uncredited role in the 1947 film, The Trouble with Women. Later in 1947, Hatcher's career received a major boost when Paramount gave her the title role in the all-star revue Variety Girl. The film's sketchy plot followed the exploits of two young women trying to break into the movies. Their adventures on the Paramount lot provided a frame for short cameo performances by practically every player the studio had under contract, including stars like Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Gary Cooper, Paulette Goddard and Burt Lancaster. In September, Hatcher returned to Tampa for a gala opening of the film at the Tampa Theatre. Crowds turned out to honor their home-town movie star, and Tampa mayor Curtis Hixon presented Hatcher with a golden key to the city.

In 1948, Hatcher was featured as Veronica Lake's sister in the musical Isn't It Romantic?. Her show business career reached its high point in 1949 when she starred in two pictures, first in The Big Wheel, an auto racing action film with Mickey Rooney and Thomas Mitchell, then opposite Desi Arnaz in the Latin musical frolic Holiday in Havana. Also in 1949, she appeared on Broadway as Dallas Smith, the female lead in Johnny Mercer's musical Texas, L'il Darlin, which opened to a mixed reception and closed after a medium-length run of 293 performances. Her Broadway credits also include Oklahoma!.

Personal appearances
Hatcher visited Tampa in 1951 to perform with her husband, Herkie Styles, at the Skyline Room of the Bayshore Royal Hotel. The local press described the formerly brunette Hatcher as "very blond", noting  she had recently been singing with Howard Keel in the extended Broadway run of Oklahoma!. In February 1951, Hatcher was a headliner at the El Rancho Vegas Hotel in Las Vegas on a bill including Herkie Styles and Benny Goodman. In 1951-52, she starred as Maid Marion in Tales of Robin Hood.

Later life
Hatcher left show business in 1952, partially due to the fact that her marriage to Styles had ended. She declined the offer to play Alice Kramden in The Honeymooners. On September 23, 1951, she married drummer Alvin Stoller in Westwood, California, and became a housewife. She remained married to Stoller until his death in 1992. Despite retiring from show business, she occasionally appeared on television and composed songs.

Personal life
Hatcher married James Alexander on August 12, 1946, in Seattle. At the time, the two were touring in a production of Oklahoma!, with Alexander playing Curley and Hatcher playing Laurey. A problem, arose, however, because Hatcher, at 17, needed her parents' consent to marry, and they did not consent. Her father had the marriage annulled. On May 9, 1949, Hatcher married Herkie Styles in St. Louis. At the time, Styles was a comedian with Benny Goodman's orchestra.

Death
Hatcher died at the age of 88 from bile duct cancer at a hospital in Riverside, California. Her death was announced by her grandson, John Stoller. She was also survived by her brother, two children, six other grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
