Inflamed Borders

A heart attack or myocardial infarct kills zones of heart muscle provoking inflammation – until now thought to be the work of immune cells – at the injury site. This study uncovers an inflammatory response can also be initiated by cardiomyocytes [heart muscle cells] at the border of the infarct, a risk for further tissue damage and a potential therapeutic target

"Apostles of Mercy" by Lindsay Ellis is out now! And she's going on book tour in the U.S. for the first time for the Noumena series!

Hey remember when the pandemic sidelined all her plans to go on book tour for Axiom's End so she did a ton of interviews instead, and then a book tour didn't really happen for Truth of the Divine? YEAH! "HOLY SHIT!" IS RIGHT!!

"Summary" Arpeggio Chapter 162

The chapter starts with Shoukaku playing and winning a game of mahjong against those robots they have on iwo Jima. We then switch to an underground dock construction site where Akashi is helping with building something (from the sounds of it, they're adding more docks, until the full number is 10).

They converse about the process and how they're either bringing materials to Japan or Japan helping them by procuring materials for them. Most likely the first, the translation isn't sure, but Japan is happy in any case. The economy seems to be recovering as well. Akashi then states that, even if told to get along with humans, some ships probably don't know what to do.

Shoukaku falls silent for a bit, then essentially tells Akashi that this underground dock is capable of holding a fast battleship and that Gunzou might want to have an underground city similar to another Hashirajima. Or that he wants an underground "city" that can support a fast battleship because "there is another one (ship) he wants" and Shoukaku just compares the dock to Hashirajima.

Translation inconclusive, but something along those lines. Going by the dialogue in the next page, option 1 seems more likely.

Shoukaku chalks her musings up with something that amounts to "eh, just gamer brain thinking up lore".

Akashi proceeds to note that former patrol fleet members started gathering outside and Shoukaku wonders what Yamato will do now.

The next pages are something were the translator wants to cry, but from my understanding the following thing happens:

Shoukaku asks Akashi if she knows anything since her role as head of logistics puts her more or less directly under Yamato in rank. Akashi then states that she has a list of those "who heard" given to her by the flagship. This list seems to be related to "those who test the world", who in return seem to be related to "Kenzoku's Verdict". She further says that Yamato/Kotona was worried about the existence of Gunzou?

I don't know what happens on the page afterwards. Like, really, I have no idea. どういう事 means "What are you saying" or "what makes you say that"/"what do you mean", which is the only complete phrase except "demo" that I can read and unfortunately also the only one Google didn't get a cardiac arrest over (DeepL died two chapters ago).

BUT I can guesstimate that Shoukaku asked "What do you mean" and that Akashi essentially answered "It's one of those things that don't have to mean anything, but (she) didn't want to tell me about (it)"

UPDATE: after re-reading that one speech bubble like ten times (there was only one unknown Kanji and word so it kept nagging me) and waiting for my vocabulary memory to kick in, I can now tell you that the blue marked part is correctly interpreted! :D

Shoukaku then proceeds to lose a Mahjong game and blames the fleet flagship for it.

We then switch over to San Diego, Santa Fe Station, where Vampire, Hibiki and Gretel (with a very nice outfit unfortunately; I would like to have that) stand in front of a train. They're instantly greeted by Mr. President, who tells them that there are "some disturbing elements in the USA and that he's gonna make sure that they arrive safely in Washington. He then gives some advice on where to place I-401 and Moby Dick and allows the mental model whose name I still don't remeber to keep on explaining (you know, the one who is North Carolina or whoever).

Maybe NoCa keeps on explaining the safety measures taken (4 decoy groups, different travel route sfor each, escorts, etc etc) and that she's gonna go with them (Due to the following events, I assume "them" is actually the president). The trio (without Maybe NoCa) enter the train, which leaves.

Maybe NoCa reminds the president that, with this, they managed to pull Vampire away from Moby Dick and asks whether he wants to "try it". They then walk away very sus.

Komaki (I hope that's his name, Hakugei 3's captain) asks one of his officers to figure out who of their crew can be cautious enough to gather intel on the States. There's also a heavily armoured person suspiciously placed behind them (they are most likely just a guard, but still with suspicious placement).

He proceeds to ad that those men can be removed from the original mission for a few days and that he hopes that this all is just a false alarm.

End of Chapter 162.

Also yeah, I realized that Mr. President (and if not a clone or something) is the angel dude who puts his jacket on in the last chapter. And you wonder why I give everyone nicknames. "Jacket Angel Dude" and "President" literally appeared in the same chapter and I didn't recognize him.

Eye on SD Unified

San Diego Unified School District receives report card from CA State

The state of California recently released data showing how well schools around the San Diego area are doing, including San Diego Unified, the largest district in San Diego County.

“San Diego Unified continues to make progress in some areas," San Diego Unified School Board President Shana Hazan said. "Progress is really significant.”

That’s the takeaway, as Hazan explained, the district’s latest report card from the state.

A positive: the district saw a 3% improvement in their college and career readiness numbers.

Currently, the district is almost 63%, while other comparable-sized districts like Los Angeles Unified sit at 45%.

"It’s not just about how kids are doing- sitting in the classrooms here," Hazan said. "But how are they doing when they leave our system? Are our kids set up for success for the long term?”

An area the district needs to continue to improve in is absenteeism. Last school year, 21% of students struggled with attendance.

While that number has declined from the year before, it’s still a problem the district needs to tackle.

This year, they’ve tried different incentives for students, such as partnering up with the San Diego Padres to reward the school with the best attendance.

ABC 10News was there when Padres Superstar Manny Machado surprised Paradise Hills Elementary School students.

Another area the district is paying close attention to is graduation rates. They saw a slight decrease compared to the year before. The district connects that to changes to the state’s graduation waivers.

During the pandemic, the requirements to qualify for a waiver were loosened. Now, the restrictions are back.

So, now the question is, what happens next?

“As to how it relates to what’s happening in the classroom, our teachers receive information; they can see how they’re doing," Hazan said. "Principals can see at the site level how students are doing, [they] use that data to really improve instruction based on the area of growth in their schools.” *Reposted article from 10 News by Marie Coronel on November 22, 2024

Sapporo-Stone Brewing provides updates on their first phase of expansion.

Press Release

ESCONDIDO, CA ... Two years following the announcement of its acquisition by Sapporo U.S.A., San Diego-based Sapporo-Stone Brewing, unveils the near completion of phase one of its expansion project at its Escondido brewery. The $20 million investment in the Escondido, CA facility is one of two significant investments for growth with $40 million invested in the company’s Richmond, VA operation. These investments will result in the doubling of the company’s capacity to about 700,000 barrels a year across its bi-coastal breweries. The brewing of Sapporo beers in Escondido, CA and Richmond, VA is now underway. 

Stone Brewing, Southern California’s largest craft brewery was acquired by Sapporo U.S.A. in 2022. The goal was to transition from an importer to a U.S. brewer, ultimately brewing, selling, and marketing all of Sapporo’s beers for the U.S. market locally. Richmond’s expansion will be unveiled this fall. By late summer, all production of Sapporo beers will have moved from Canada and Asia to the U.S. 

Sapporo-Stone Brewing is now a combined team of nearly 850 employees, about 600 of whom are based in San Diego County. In support of its expansion project, the company added 125 jobs locally and another 75 outside of San Diego County. More than 150 team members have been promoted or moved into new or expanded roles since the acquisition. 

“Operationally, this acquisition looks a lot like a merger,” stated Zach Keeling, Sapporo-Stone Brewing Interim CEO. “Our two companies are now fully integrated – Innovating, brewing, selling, marketing, and operating as a single, combined business. The Sapporo and Stone Brewing brands will maintain their individual identities, but we are Sapporo-Stone in name, operations, and culture.”

The Escondido expansion project includes additional tanks and packaging lines to increase capacity and efficiency. On the West Coast Sapporo-Stone now operates out of its two Escondido brewing and packaging buildings and a distribution warehouse with offices also in Escondido. It occupies additional warehouse space in San Marcos, CA and Downey, CA. The company operates two Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens and five Stone Brewing Tap Rooms. On the East Coast, Sapporo-Stone operates another brewery, an off-site warehouse, and a Stone Brewing Tap Room all in Richmond, VA.  

Now the nation’s 12th largest brewery by volume* Sapporo-Stone Brewing aims for a top 10 ranking. Finding growth in the beer market is challenging as craft consolidates and alcohol drinkers explore countless new innovations, but Sapporo-Stone’s craft-meets-import portfolio sets the company apart. In both the Import and Craft categories, Sapporo and Stone are gaining share over the last year. Sapporo is the number one selling Asian beer brand in the U.S., with sales up +13.1%, nearly double the growth of the Import category, +6.7%.** Most of this growth is attributed to its flagship Sapporo Premium. Stone’s best sellers include the Stone Delicious IPA family of beers, Stone IPA and Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager. These Stone core brands are also growing, up 13.2%.***

At its Escondido Open House event on May 21, 2024, Hiro Kitaoka, Sapporo-Stone Brewing Chairman stated, “Stone Brewing is among the world’s most recognizable and celebrated craft breweries. We admire the team’s innovative spirit, passion, and world-class brewing expertise. We are proud to continue the legacy of Stone and honored to have this full team’s commitment to the Sapporo brand. We are stronger together, and proud to be a growing San Diego business.”

Stone Brewing was among San Diego’s pioneering craft brewers and is credited for bringing national and international attention to San Diego as a thriving craft beer city. In its early years, the team fostered collaboration through the formation of Stone Distributing Company to distribute small craft brands. It curated countless invitational beer festivals, served guest beers on tap, and played a founding role in the San Diego Brewers Guild. Stone Brewing continues to host local craft beer events and festivals and to offer creative craft innovations like its Stone One Batch Dispatch beers alongside its year-round beers available nationwide and in 50+ countries. Locally-brewed Sapporo beers can be enjoyed and purchased at all Stone Brewing locations.

ON DA MAKING…

(still editing)

I met you on a dating site called "Tinder". The only old fashion guy that I talked there, very traditional. No daddy jokes nor flirtation words. Very well mannered guy. Out of all 10,000 guys I matched. You are the only guy I was really curious about. The picture I was really into you was you are in a ski outfit. I sensed that you are adventurous and fun because I'm not. GREEN FLAG! ✅ We exchanged numbers. We talked the whole night about music that we listen to. We both love old songs. However, there's a people noisy in the background. You told me that you were living with bunch of dudes that's why it is very loud. I know after that night we stopped talking. Your name on my message was flooded by other messages on my phone. I thought you sensed I was really weird. The Friday of middle of the month of October, when my friends invited me to go on a Halloween maze. I told Pat "Nope I'm not going there without a Halloween boo". You know how I'm a scary cat, I'm scared of everything. I remember that sunny day in Oceanside beach, me and Pat was sitting on a rock. I contacted five guys, including you. The navy dude, the friend of my friend, the friend of that friend, another navy dude and YOU. I sent the message "do you have plans tonight?". AND YOU are the only one who said "YES". Our first meeting was not that magical like in the fairytale books. It was a crazy night. I cannot forgot the night we saw each other, me and Pat was lost in the parking lot. I called you on the phone to lead us to the right entrance LOL. On a crowded place, I saw you standing beside the entrance sign. I'm 5'4 ft tall on a crowd, you can't barely see me but I saw you, there's no slow motion shit thingy but all I can hear is your voice, on my phone, ON A FUCKING THOUSAND OF PEOPLE AROUND ME. Shit feels like in the movie! While walking towards you, dude I was shaking not because I was shy but I'm scared for the haunted maze. It was an awkward situation while were on the line for the first maze. I know you were out-of-the-place with us. You re the only white guy on a group of filos but you were there standing patiently waiting. You are so manly to be on the front of the filo mafias. The first maze was the ice breaker. The second maze, you were on front of me. A 6'2 ft tall on the front of a 5'4 ft tall (IMAGINE THAT!) I feel secured and safe defending those monsters in the maze LOL GREEN FLAG ✅ After you defending me with those creepy creature, I invited you to go on a bar with us, my friends. And you said YES! We danced the whole night. Your hands on my hips and kissed on the dance floor HA HA HA HA HA HA Went to Tacos El Gordo YUMMMMM Fav! After the party, i invited you to join with us for a lil escape out-of-the-town, a lil border of CA AZ. You said you're gonna check if you can make it.

AND YOU KISSED ME GOOD NIGHT.

that was the first time happened to my entire pathetic existence that someone would respect me on a first date. A gentleman who doesn’t want a naked me LOL

The next day of 01:11PM you said: "Hey good news I can go"

CHAPTER TWO: UNTITLED

Two hours driving out of the city of San Diego, the longest ride I've ever had with a man on a car. It seems like a lil road-trip. Semi escape from busy America's finest city. We always said that travel to escape life but so life doesn't escape you. But it feels like you are now my lil escape. On our second date, you join us with my friends for an adventure trip at Glamis Sand Dunes. We watched the sun goes down, had our first picture together. You’re not a fan of pictures but HA HA HA HA I got you. We just met but it feels safe when I'm with you, I don’t know it feels like we’ve known for so long. We had Mcdickies while on the road. I had my favorite, of course chicken nuggets with medium fries, sprite, ranch and honey mustard YUMMM. You said you're already had Taco Bell, you good to go. You're not a fan of taking pictures but we had the most beautiful pictures. We looked like a couple but this is just our second date. We hold are hands through out our drive and trip. We pulled up into the parking lot of that noodle house in the town of Brawley. We had our first real kiss. We kissed like it's the end of the world. Driving back to deygo was so fast, we didn't noticed it's already on my apartment. It was the best date so far.

and you kissed me GOOD NIGHT!

I think there will be rain tonight.

June 2nd, 2009

This is a difficult announcement to have to write, and one we’d have hoped we’d never need to, but it is with a heavy heart we in Los Campesinos! need to announce the forthcoming departure of Aleks Campesinos! from our number.

After three years of LC!, in an incredible journey that has gone from inaudible student union side room gigs to playing infront of thousands in Caracas city centre; Aleks is now, as she always intended, departing the band in order to return to her studies.

In many ways, it would be great if there had been some falling out in the band and that Aleks couldn’t bear to tour with us anymore, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. We’re all better, closer friends now than we’ve ever been, and this makes the decision tougher on both Aleks, and the other six of us. We’ve always been very pragmatic when thinking about the future for Los Campesinos!, and it is at this point that Aleks has decided her future does not reside in flogging this LC! nonsense any  longer. Though she will remain a Campesinos! for eternity. There’s no escaping that.

It shouldn’t need saying, and perhaps it almost seems insensitive, but it’s inevitable news of this nature will cause tongues to wag, so it’s best to confirm that Los Campesinos! will continue as a band, stronger and more united than ever. Though this news is being announced only now, it’s something we as a band have been aware of, and preparing for, for the past year. The individual joining the band to take on Aleks�� duties, and more, has been a friend of the band for a long time and though we are understandably maudlin, nay, heartbroken, this is coupled with a great excitement for what we intend to go on and achieve in the near and distant future.

In the meantime, we are finishing up Aleks’ final record with the band, and can announce her final LC! shows – a US Tour, taking place in August.

Finalize Your Budget

One of the primary things that you must sort out before moving forward with your bathroom renovation project is the cost of expenses involved in the whole remodeling project. There is no doubt that bathroom remodeling can become expensive and it is important to finalize the budget so that you don’t overshoot it.

Most of the time people face challenges in terms of the cost of the renovation and you must remember that the cost of renovation is completely in your hands. The cost you will incur will depend on what type of fittings you want in your bathroom and besides that how much you are willing to spend.

Besides that, there are a lot of other factors involved in deciding the budget for your bathroom remodeling like the labor cost which will depend on how many people are working at the site. If the number of people working on the project is more, then the labor cost is going to be higher.

Amidst all this, it is easy for someone with no prior experience in renovation to face problems in finalizing the budget single-handedly. That is why you must get in touch with some bathroom remodeling contractors who can help you out in finalizing your budget.

Lighting for Bathroom

Unlike the other rooms in your home, the bathroom is one such space that doesn’t get any natural lighting of its own. That is why having adequate artificial lights in place becomes a necessity when it comes to bathroom renovation. Besides that, the aesthetic appeal of your renovated bathroom is largely going to be determined by the lighting features you install in your bathroom.

Most people prefer using LED lights in their bathroom as they are cheaper in comparison to other forms of lighting and also the energy bill remains low. There are various forms of LED lights available and your contractor is going to find the perfect places in the bathroom for fixing those lights.

However, you need to pay close attention to your bathroom when the lighting fixtures are getting fixed and remember that fixing high-powered lights overhead is a strict no because they will cast a shadow on your face. That is why most millennials go for a combination of soft lighting and high-focus lighting solutions for their bathroom.

There are some modern vanities that have built-in lighting features that are one of the most sought-after features by millennials who want to add a touch of glamour to their bathrooms.

Touch of Luxury

Now, if you have an expansive budget and don’t mind splurging on a bathroom renovation, then adding a touch of luxury to your bathroom is a must. Nowadays, there are a host of options available when someone wants to glamorize their bathroom.

From using high-end materials to bathroom finishes there are a lot of ways to increase the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. Most people prefer using various types of tiles for the floor and walls of their bathroom as there are many varieties of high-quality tiles available for bathrooms.

Besides that, people also like to spend on cabinetry and washbasins because of the varieties available in the market. In addition to that, having cabinets in your bathroom will provide you with additional storage space that can come in handy.

Use Tough Materials

One of the most important things to keep in mind when undertaking a bathroom renovation project is using materials that are tough. By tough we mean you must use materials in your bathroom remodeling that are able to withstand the tough conditions in your bathroom.

If you are using durable materials in the renovation project of your bathroom, then the next renovation for your bathroom will be long away.

Finally

The above-discussed factors are some of the most important advice that you must adhere to whenever undertaking a bathroom renovation project in your home. Besides that, you must always stay in touch with your renovation contractor so that you are aware of the minutest details of your bathroom remodeling project.

Tips for Finding the Right Earthmoving and Excavation Specialist

Different levels of earthmoving and excavation are needed for construction, remodeling, and landscaping projects. The ground on which the foundations of your house or garden are constructed is the most crucial part of any building, even though the contractor you choose to work with may appear to be the least of your concerns. Get more information please visit here San Diego Excavation.

Let's start by discussing what excavation and earthmoving entail before selecting an excavation service.

The Fundamentals of Excavation and Earthmoving

Several civil and domestic services are offered by excavation and earthmoving professionals to homeowners, builders, plumbers, electricians, and construction firms. The services cover everything from landscaping, dirt removal, trenching and drainage, home and shed sites, and more.

The numerous pieces of equipment needed for their task is available to the earthmoving firms. The smaller "skid steer" or "bobcat," large and small excavators, rigid tippers, and graders are among the equipment used in most earthworks. These machines include various attachments used for tasks that the excavators' buckets cannot perform, such as trenching and levelling. The grapple, smudger, and auger are some accessories that may be utilized with the machinery.

Now that you know the fundamentals read these 4 guidelines carefully before selecting an earthmoving firm.

How large is your job, first?

Knowing the scale of the project at hand before hiring a contractor may influence the kind of contractor you need. Will you require a small bobcat to clear a simple site? Or will a sizable excavator and tipper be needed for a sizable space, like a house cut or a shed site? It is wise to verify first since certain contractors may not fit the project because they only specialize in particular kinds of excavation. If you need clarification about the scope of your project yourself, don't worry; a general notion will do. The contractor will be able to evaluate your job's requirements and identify the precise machinery and equipment required.

2 - Do the task correctly.

Engaging an excavation contractor can occasionally be a complex undertaking if this is your first time doing it. It could be helpful to discover a contractor online with reviews you can read or ask individuals you know who often hire contractors. Testimonials are a fantastic way to learn a lot about an excavation company. Although they are not likely to post negative testimonials on their website, it can still be beneficial to read some positive reviews and between the lines to uncover the operator's or company's strong points. It is fair to assume that the excavating contractor offers a high-quality service if the testimonials come from other contractors and tradespeople.

You may learn a little about the business a website is for by reading the "About Us" section, which is included on most corporate websites. Also, it adds a personal touch to the service and demonstrates the company's commitment to building enduring connections with its customers. When the page states that the firm is a "Gippsland-based, family-owned company, servicing Gippsland and neighboring Warragul and Drouin regions for large and small projects," you know you've probably hit the jackpot. The business can handle any size project, is locally based, and offers a high-quality service.

Hi Josh! What was your career pathway to where you are now?

When I was in college, one of the few productive things I did was teach myself HTML, Photoshop (already kind of knew it), Illustrator, and Flash 3.0. I did a few professional website jobs, including the site for Steve's Tattoo in Madison, Wisconsin.

When I was about to graduate from college with a degree in history and no real idea what to do with it (I thought I was going to do web design and maybe become an apprentice at a tattoo parlor), my friend Michael told me there was an opening for a webmaster at Black Isle Studios in Irvine, CA.

I applied with an excessively long cover letter. Of the 62 candidates who applied, 3 knew Flash. Their first choice declined the position and moved to Seattle to be with his girlfriend. Thanks, dude.

I started at Black Isle in March of 1999 and my first job was to design the website for Planescape: Torment. By around November of that year, I had convinced Feargus Urquhart, head of Black Isle Studios (and still my boss at Obsidian), to let me work half time as a designer on Icewind Dale.

I eventually transitioned out of web (my last site design was the original website for BioWare's Neverwinter Nights) and worked as a designer full time on Icewind Dale. I was also a designer on the expansions, Heart of Winter and Trials of the Luremaster. I was the lead designer on Icewind Dale II.

In 2003, as Interplay was imploding, I went to work for about a year and a half at Midway San Diego (on Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows). That didn't work out, so I got a job at Obsidian as a senior designer on Neverwinter Nights 2. I eventually took over as lead following the departure of that team's original lead.

After that, I worked on Aliens: Crucible (canceled), then directed Fallout: New Vegas, then a project for Microsoft called Stormlands (canceled), then Pillars of Eternity, then Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. Around that time, I was promoted to Studio Design Director. And I'm currently also the game director on Pentiment...

... coming November 2022.
