World-class Offensive Midfielder With Boundless Parameters

Aiming to become the best midfielder in the world, Sae is a super player with the complete package of mind, technique, and physique. Isagi’s best play which he pulled off with “reflex” was stopped with just a light tackle. He killed The Direct Shot flawlessly, showing the big difference between the two.****

He’s Only Interested In Blue Lock! The One He Chose Was Shidou?

Sae was only interested in Blue Lock and paid no attention to his younger brother Rin or the U-20 Japan National Team. The world he sees and the place he aims for are clearly different from those of the U-20 National Team. Sae chose Shidou from Blue Lock as his teammate. With a series of super plays, they managed to corner Blue Lock.

The reason for Sae's sudden change... What on earth happened in Spain!?

Sae went to Spain and promised his younger brother Rin that he’d become “The Best Striker In The World”. However, when he returned home four years later, his attitude had changed completely . He declared that he would become “The Best Midfielder In The World” instead and pushed Rin away, calling him "tepid".*****

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sae's Ranking on "Best 3 of Everything: Players seriously voted each!"

1. Ranked #1 The Best at Crossing (Centering)

Hiori’s commentary: "Well, all of Itoshi Sae’s kicks are perfectly designed. I admire him."

2. Ranked #2 The Most Likely To Succeed As Coach

3. Ranked #1 Who Doesn't Cry Easily

Aryu’s commentary: "If Itoshi Sae were to cry, it would be when he became the world’s best. That would be the moment of ultimate styl."******

4. Ranked #1 The Least Family-oriented person

Isagi’s commentary: "If you look at those two, you would assume so. But if they really hate each other… It means that they also think about each other."

5. Ranked #2 The Most Likely To Thrive In The Sengoku Period

6. Ranked #2 The Most Leader-like (or has the qualities of a leader)

7. Ranked #3 Longest Eyelashes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

*Álvaro Recoba (El Chino) is a midfielder from Uruguay known for his "rainbow-like" curved kicks.

**Return back to zero=being refreshed.

***In early 2021 twitter Q&A, he said he stopped getting Christmas presents when Rin stopped believing in Santa. His answer is revised in Egoist Bible to just "10 years old."

****The original sentence is “...a super player who possesses everything– mind, technique and physique (心技体)”. 心技体 or Shingitai refers to the three qualities an athlete must have: 心 is heart/mind, 技 is technique/skill, 体 is body/physique/strength. It is said that an athlete needs 3 of them to succeed. If they only have the right mind and skills but not the body to support them… well you’ll know what will happen!  So from our understanding Shingitai is an ‘inseparable set’. We translated it as a “complete package” to let you know that those 3 qualities are inseparable!

*****Here the word used is 突き放す (tsukihanasu). Tsukihanasu is 'to push away', to push someone (or something) away and make them leave. It can also refer to an attitude of  treating someone without love, sympathy, or emotions. Please check my notes on Rin’s profile page, because there is a connection!

******What Aryu originally said isファ イナリーオシャ final osha. "The moment where Itoshi Sae finally cried would be the moment of ultimate/final styl.” is most likely what he meant! We personally think ‘ultimate styl’ had more feel than ‘final styl’ (?), that’s why we went with ultimate osha!

*Not sure about the exact pronounciation but the most of the translation says 'Les Halles'. Updated! (25/7/2024)

Spelling of Sae's team, レ・アール : Left image: RE・ALE. This was from months ago (twt).

Right image: RE・EARL. The left image is from the recent twt :

** In Japan, there are terms called ‘dry person’ & ‘wet person’. ‘Dry person’ is someone who can think rationally without being overwhelmed by emotions and because of their calm demeanor, they are thought to be cold and unapproachable. ‘Wet person’ is the opposite of ‘dry person’.

note: i want to apologize in advance for any mistake made in the translation!

Yay Getted Bamboo Yumigeta Ako (23.07.05)

Lalala Good evening

Yumigeta Ako 🛑

I read yesterday's comments〜！

I guess most of you prefer it by itself…

I've also only made Hamburg steak alone〜

I feel like lots of people have made Hamburg steak but getting the meat cooked perfectly？！is surprisingly hard right 笑lol

Which is why I cooked mine in the oven instead of the grill〜🥓🥩🍗🍖

Well then

This is today's main topic👇👇👇👇

Ready for Tanabata〜✨

I think this every year but is it 竹？笹？Which way of saying bamboo？

I think it might be 笹……？

I think 竹 generally refers to the actual stems！

So、I think this whole plant is 笹！

笹 feels kinda nostalgic…❣️

When I was in kindergarten and elementary school pretty much every day I would go to the river in our school garden and float boats made of bamboo leaves with my friends〜

I feel like most people have done this at least once？！It's simple yet fun！

I often made bamboo whistles too！

We used them while playing tag to call time outs、

And me and my friends used them to send messages

Like 『Meet at the flower beds when I blow it twice！』〜笑lol

Although it often got lost in the other surrounding sounds 🤣

Haa〜 I really have so many fun memories！

I'd love to go back to kindergarten for just one good day〜！

But I guess as I'm getting older

Soon I'll start saying 『I wish I could go back to being a student〜』…

That makes me sad ( iωi )

So for now I want to try and challenge all the things I can！

I'll keep working hard〜❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆⋆┈┈

Today's 【Gettaa Life】！

Today I changed out my rug〜！

The forest…？feeling is cute〜💕💕💕

Anzu-chan posed for the photo too……！

Today I'll talk about the colour of my rug！

Green、makes you feel calm〜！

So although green generally has an image of being relaxing、

I now have a 『Quiz！』 for you

『What else is represented by the colour green』！

Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock

The correct answer is

『Bitterness』

Huh？Were your surprised？

But please think about it、

Imagine being surrounded by green、or being in the middle of a forest……

Doesn't the forest smell similar to the scent of bitter vegetables？

That's why green also represents Bitterness！

I Getted 『Colour Knowledge』！

An interesting story that changes the opinion I've had on colours up until now〜

Art is so interesting！！！

I want to know more about other colours too〜🧚🏻‍♀️

That's all！This has been 【Gettaa Life】！

⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆⋆┈┈

An Announcement！

★Fan Club Member Limited Event★「Morning Musume。'23 New Member First FC Event～17ki Inoue Haruka ・Yumigeta Ako～」 will be held！

During this event、we'll have a self introduction time where Haga Akane-san will help us to show our true selves and the 2 of us will do a mini live too！

17ki will do our best together、so please come and see us〜✨️✨️✨️

A book I often read before bed

Is Shinkai Makoto's

『5 Centimetres per Second』！

It's such a wonderful piece of writing I could read it forever…

Everyone please give it a try too✨

Well then see you tomorrow！

This has been YumiGettaa Ako！Good night〜🐈🐈

Are there any regulations or standards for food packaging materials?

In today's fast-paced world, the demand for convenient and packaged food has surged. From fresh produce to processed snacks, food packaging plays a crucial role in preserving the quality and safety of food products. However, concerns have arisen regarding the materials used in food packaging and their potential impact on human health. Are there any regulations or standards in place to ensure the safety of food packaging materials? Let's delve into this topic and shed light on the regulations governing food packaging materials.

Understanding Food Packaging Materials

Food packaging materials encompass a wide range of substances used to contain, protect, and transport food products. They can include plastics, glass, metal, paper, and even natural materials like bamboo or banana leaves. Each material offers distinct characteristics that influence factors such as shelf life, durability, and environmental impact. However, it is crucial to ascertain that these materials do not pose a threat to the safety of the food they contain.

Regulatory Framework for Food Packaging Materials

FDA Regulation in the United States

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees the safety of food packaging materials. The FDA regulates food packaging under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The agency establishes specific regulations, known as food contact substances (FCS), which determine the acceptable materials and their safe usage. Manufacturers are required to demonstrate that their packaging materials are safe for their intended use, and the FDA conducts rigorous assessments before granting approval.

European Union Legislation

In the European Union (EU), food packaging materials are regulated by multiple legislations, including the Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and the Plastic Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. These regulations ensure that materials intended for contact with food do not transfer harmful substances beyond acceptable limits. The EU has also established a positive list of authorized substances, the Union List, which specifies the materials and additives that can be used in food contact applications.

Global Standards

Several international organizations work towards harmonizing food packaging regulations and ensuring global safety standards. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed standards like ISO 22000 and ISO 22002-4, which focus on food safety management systems and prerequisite programs for packaging manufacturers. Additionally, organizations such as the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the International Packaging Conventions facilitate discussions and collaborations between countries to address packaging safety concerns.

Ensuring Safety and Compliance

Regulations and standards alone are not sufficient to ensure the safety of food packaging materials. It is the joint responsibility of manufacturers, regulators, and consumers to maintain compliance and mitigate potential risks. Here are some essential considerations:

Material Selection and Testing

Manufacturers must carefully choose packaging materials that comply with the relevant regulations. They should conduct thorough testing to assess the material's safety, including migration tests to determine if any harmful substances transfer from the packaging to the food. Compliance with industry standards and specifications is crucial.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)

Adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices is essential for food packaging manufacturers. GMP guidelines outline the necessary protocols for handling, storage, and processing of packaging materials to prevent contamination. Implementing GMP principles helps ensure consistent quality and safety across the production process.

Consumer Awareness

Consumers play a vital role in demanding safe and sustainable food packaging. By staying informed about the regulations and actively choosing products with safe packaging materials, consumers can drive the market towards safer alternatives and encourage manufacturers to prioritize food safety.

Conclusion

Food packaging materials are subject to stringent regulations and standards worldwide. The FDA in the United States, EU legislations, and global organizations such as ISO and Codex Alimentarius Commission are actively involved in safeguarding the safety of food packaging. However, compliance and vigilance from all stakeholders are essential to ensure the integrity of food packaging materials and protect consumer health. By working together, manufacturers, regulators, and consumers can uphold the highest standards of safety in the food packaging industry, promoting healthier and more sustainable packaging solutions.

2021 Was Stodgy

The Great British Bake Off has now made it's way into our home. Truthfully we watched the first two collections on Netflix during our Christmas break. Sad I know. But one vocabulary word that is used often in this show describes how I feel about 2021. Stodgy: some of the material is rather stodgy and top-heavy with facts. If you are in England, it also means heavy, filling, and high in carbohydrates.

I think both definitions accurately describe my 2021 and probably many others for that matter. It was a pretty Stodgy year, and in the words of Paul Hollywood, not my favorite filling.

So in reflecting - I think maybe I should start with the good, cover a few of the bad, and then hit hard some 2022 New Year's resolutions.

So the good:

- Great career year! More to come on this - but this year was great at my job. I was really able to do more and enjoy more there - so there is a definite plus.

- Became a One Car Family. We traded in the family of Fords (before they completely fell apart) and bought our first brand new vehicle - a Honda CRV. And as a result of becoming a one car family ...

- ... I bought an eBike. First to get around town - but I ride it everyday. Well, not now because snow. But I am in the best shape I have ever been. My FCS numbers are GREAT! And I am holding steady at a weight I can manage. Who knew right?

- I built a water garden in my office. What is a water garden you ask? Exactly that, a garden that has water in it. It features a small waterfall, misting pond, bonsai, money trees, bamboo and lilies. You can see it live on my webcam at nerdynate.live.

- Angela. She was amazing this year. From being able to have a great home life in the middle of this pandemic. And killing it at her job at Maine Med. I love her more then I love chocolate cake... and I do love me some chocolate cake.

- My Grandson Knox was born in 2021 & Beau turned 2 this November. #callmepops. I just love them both so much!!

The Bad

- Covid

- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Angela was diagnosis with Spinal Stenosis this October. And so our 4th quarter was filled with shots, opioids, muscle relaxers, lidocaine patches, pillows, Yoga, and robot chairs. She is improving, but this one came out of no where and has flip our lives around a bit.

- Social Anxiety: This year I spent 8 weeks in counseling and therapy for social anxiety. It came to me as a big surprise being a huge Extrovert and all. My therapist worked me through exposure therapy and it was great. Seriously all - take care of your mental health. There are tons of resources out there. And it is so important. Best thing I did for myself this year hands down.

Going to end there with the bad... there are more good on the list then bad, so end that segment on a high note.

(Crazy note - while working on this blog, found out that Betty White died at age 99. Suck it 2021. Love you Betty White and will miss you.)

Now for the 2022 New Year's Resolutions:

- Blog more. Funny story - I used to blog all the time, like professional as part of my career. And haven't for years now. I think I would like to change that. Not that I have alot to say, but I think it is a healthy creative outlet for me. Pictures, videos, and maybe some nerdy stuff. Would that be ok to do here? Not that you have a choice, but didn't hurt to ask.

- Make a perfect low fat pie using the skills I have acquired from watching the Great British Bake Off. But Seriously, we bought new pie pans and everything for me to be able to attempt. Stay tuned.

- Spend more time with my Grand children. Because I just love them so much.

- Read self help books. My Son bought me "Winning the War in Your Mind" for Christmas. Going to start there and see what else comes up this year.

So that is it for now. Join me here in 2022 for more.

[TRR x ES] Viewing Party

Book: The Royal Romance & Endless Summer Pairings: Liam x MC (Katrina Bailey), Drake x OC (Alyssa Devereaux), Jake x MC (Laurel) Rating/Warnings: G; mild innuendo Author’s Note: * All main characters belong to Pixelberry, I’m just borrowing them * Katrina Bailey & Laurel are the MCs I use when writing fanfic for TRR and ES, respectively; Alyssa Devereaux belongs to birthday girl @burnsoslow​ * This is my submission for @wackydrabbles​​ Prompt 80: Stop looking at me like that. * Author’s Note 2: * This is a birthday gift for my cheesy, potato loving homegirl Burnsie, who requested her very first Endless Summer/Jake fic, despite having never read any ES fic until now 🙈 for the sole reason being that she and Jake McKenzie are almost birthday twins, and my favorite pilot turns 30 this year. If you’re unfamiliar with canon ES trivia, Jake can hold his breath for 9 minutes, and Estela can hold her breath for an astonishing 14. This isn’t entirely what I had in mind when I set out to write an ES/Jake birthday fic, but I wasn’t about to miss your day because I’ve hit a whole ass writer’s wall, Burnsie! I hope you have an AMAZING day and I’m sending you so many hugs! You’re one of the sweetest ladies here, and I am so very thankful that I can call you a friend 🥰 also my real, real gift to you is coming at a later date, as I still have to work on it 😬 * and yes, that’s DDT in the moodboard - just for Burnsie, again - since I use Barnes as Drake’s FC in my TRR fics, lol * Word Count: 2000 on the dot!

It was nearly 10:00 PM on Friday evening, when Burns arranged things around the comfiest chair in her living room. The rest of her family already retired for the evening, after a small but wonderful birthday celebration in her honor at home. Within easy reach, she’d arranged drinks and snacks next to her laptop - a glass of water, a hot mug of tea, a slice of homemade birthday cake to take care of any sugar cravings, and a small platter of cheese and crackers for something more savory. She grinned softly at the newest addition to her mug collection, watching the steam rise from the contents within. 

The lavender mug arrived in the mail earlier that day from one of her friends, emblazoned with a quote from David Rose. Burns took a sip of the warm beverage before setting it down on the small side table and situated herself in the chair. She flipped open the laptop and pulled up a browser window, smiling at a gift from another friend - there was a sticker next to the trackpad with a drawing of a wedge of Swiss, quoting another memorable line from Schitt’s Creek, reminding her to “fold in the cheese.” Burns glanced to the time on the screen and logged in to her Netflix account, clicking until she arrived at the viewing party, and began typing to join the group chat. 

She was greeted with jubilant messages from Donna, Ella, Brandy, Anitah, and half a dozen other friends, wishing her a happy birthday before the show started. They’d formed an ever-growing viewing party for a new series titled Stranded in the Orchard, which was an odd amalgamation of Survivor and Gilligan’s Island. Taking a cue from reality tv competitions, there were hidden cameras all over the island to monitor everyone and reduce production crew intervention, and in a nod to Hunger Games, there was an omnipresent host that would drop messages to signal when challenges were about to take place. After four episodes, the ladies in the watching party started picking their favorites from the two teams. 

Team Ruby consisted of a group that appeared to have been shipwrecked onto the island. Leo was dubbed The Rogue; his brother Liam was The CEO; Katrina was The Attorney; Alyssa was The Teacher; Drake was The Cowboy; Olivia was The Weapons Expert; Bertrand was The Grump; Madeleine was The Whiner; Maxwell was Bertrand’s brother and The Jester; Hana was The Jill of All Trades. Bertrand and Madeleine had already been voted off when Ruby lost two events. 

Team Catalyst consisted of a group of mostly college students. Jake was The Pilot; Laurel was The Mystery Girl; Sean was The Coach; Michelle was The Doctor, even though she was only pre-med; Craig was The Muscle; Zahra was The Engineer; Aleister was The Slick One; Grace was The Brain; Diego was The Entertainer; Estela was The Huntress. Catalyst lost the last two events, which sent Aleister and Grace packing. 

Everyone settled in to watch the opening credits as they recapped last week’s episode, where Ruby won the immunity challenge and fishing gear by building a makeshift stretcher to rescue and carry Katrina from a jungle crash site to a first aid station on the beach; Catalyst voted Grace out. Burns popped a cheese cube into her mouth as she and her friends watched the two groups deal with day-to-day chores in their respective camps on Day 14 of the show. They chatted about the team members and how much Burns wanted to see Drake take off his shirt to go in the water, despite the knowledge that there were clips of him cuddling with Alyssa; Donna, Ella, and Anitah would keysmash in the group chat any time Liam appeared on the screen, even though he and Katrina were clearly sweet on each other, while Brandy and Alyssa Lauren would ask what was happening or who someone was from the Catalyst team.

—

“Pillows and blankets are nice, but what we could really use is food,” Maxwell said, drawing an octopus in the sand with a piece of driftwood. “I don’t know how much longer I can last on coconuts and rice.” 

“Liam and Drake took the raft out this morning to try fishing with the gear, maybe they’ll get lucky,” Katrina suggested, stirring the pot of rice in the fire. She set the lid on top and stood up from her kimchi squat position, dusting some errant sand off her leg. They both looked out towards the water, as dawn stretched out across the ocean, making out shadowy forms of their friends as they bobbed in the water, just before one of them went under the surface. Behind them, the rest of their friends began to stir awake from the scent of rice cooking. 

Back at the Catalyst camp, Jake sat by the campfire with Estela; they were working on making their own fishing gear from bamboo and camp supplies after losing the previous challenge. Jake fed a length of twine through a handmade fishing pole while Estela sharpened tips on one end of a pile of branches she’d gathered. “Whatcha whittlin’, Katniss?” 

Estela glanced at Jake sideways. “Stakes. Hand over some of that twine, I need it to bind these to make spears.” With a begrudging huff, Jake unfurled the twine and ran it against the edge of the makeshift bench he was sitting on to cut it, before tossing the rest at Estela. 

“How fast can you tie those off? We’re losin’ daylight for a morning catch, if you wanna ride on the raft with me.” 

“Five minutes,” she answered, already working nimbly around a branch to secure the whittled spikes. 

The screen cut back to Ruby’s camp, where Liam and Drake stepped ashore, smiles brighter than the sunrise as Drake held up a fish trap with small rays flapping against one another. 

—

“kjsdhfksjhfksjhfks,” Burns smashed into her keyboard. “Look at my man! With the sea bounty!” 

“mevmnbvmnxb,” Ella smashed back.

“How do you know Drake did all the work? Liam’s just as wet, hahaha,” Donna chortled in response.

—

After killing their catch as humanely as possible - with Alyssa turning her face to Drake’s chest to avoid witnessing it - Leo and Olivia gutted and cleaned the rays before setting them on top of their makeshift grill to cook. Liam and Drake regaled the group with their morning under the water, as they took turns fishing. 

While Team Ruby enjoyed some protein with their rice that morning, members of the Catalyst team glumly spooned rice into their mouths as they sat around the campfire while Jake and Estela dried off; their morning fishing trip had been unsuccessful. 

Later that day, both teams received messages from the host to gather for a reward challenge. Each team made their way to a small lagoon, where they saw a structure floating in the water. A booming voice overhead instructed them to swim out to the structure and await further instructions. Once everyone from both teams had done so, a blue holographic image of the host appeared in the center to explain the rules. “The challenge is simple,” she narrated. “We want to see who can hold their breath the longest. There’s a bar you can use to keep yourself from floating up if you need it. Last one standing earns the prize for the whole team — an overnight trip at the Celestial Hotel, where our rotating film crew goes to rest. You’ll be treated to clean sheets and towels, hot showers, along with a decadent dinner and breakfast menu the next morning, before having to return to your camp.” 

Everyone’s eyes lit up at the incentive of a night away from sleeping on the beach, away from mosquitos, rodents, and the threat of being waterlogged by passing storms. Stomachs gurgled at the thought of hot meals that didn’t consist of rice, and the possibility of cocktails or wine. “Oh, we got this,” Jake murmured quietly to Laurel. “Bet I can hold my breath longer’n any of those Ruby kids.” 

“Is that so?” Leo taunted, overhearing Jake’s comment.

“Just call me Poseidon,” Jake smirked. 

“We’ll see about that,” Leo replied. “You know most of us are from an island, right? We’re basically merpeople.” 

—

“Bets! Bets on who wins this!” Brandy typed into the chat window.

“Sticking with Drake,” Burns typed. “Maybe Hana. She could have another random talent up her sleeve.” 

“My money’s on Liam. Look how broad his chest is,” Anya replied. “He’s got to have massive lungs to match.”

“That makes no sense,” Ella typed, adding a laughing emoji. “But I’m Team Liam anyway.”

“Don’t hate me,” Donna began. “Something tells me Jake isn’t boasting right now.” 

From her screen at home, Alyssa Lauren used Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe to choose Zahra. The rest of the group picked their favorites as the castaways donned goggles and got into the water. 

—

“Ready? Set! Go!” 

Sixteen heads dipped under the water’s surface, with contestants pinching their noses and puffing out their cheeks as an underwater camera filmed them. A handful of them - Olivia, Alyssa, Maxwell, Diego, and Michelle - tapped out under a minute. As the sand settled, thirty seconds passed before Katrina, Laurel, Sean, and Drake headed to the surface. Just after the two minute mark, Hana, Craig, and Zahra gave up, leaving Jake, Liam, Estela, and Leo under the water. 

Jake looked positively peaceful, sandy brown hair swaying with ease in the water. Estela tapped her fingers lightly across the bamboo rod, counting each second as it passed. Liam glanced over to his brother, who’d begun to turn pink. Half a minute later, Leo popped up to the surface, muttering to himself out of frustration. 

Three minutes in, Liam surfaced, gasping for air, leaving Jake and Estela to battle it out between themselves. Even though the hologram host blasted a horn to signal the end of the challenge, neither Catalyst member surfaced. Liam ducked down to check on them, and Jake and Estela both signaled that they were fine. Everyone continued to wait as the pair spent minute after minute under the water.

—

“Seriously? They’re on the same team!” Anitah typed. “They won already!” 

“They’ve been underwater for a scary length of time,” Brandy added. “What are they, Navy SEALs or something?” 

“I think Jake mentioned he was actually in the Navy before,” Alyssa Lauren replied. 

—

A digital clock appeared in the corner of the screen as the two Catalyst members continued to hold their breath underwater. With each passing minute, members from both groups began to worry. After eight minutes passed, the host’s voice rang out, advising them to pull Jake and Estela up from the water to end the challenge. Laurel and Craig ducked down, eventually pulling their teammates up. “Congratulations to The Catalysts!” the host exclaimed. “A boat will be waiting at your camp to take you to the hotel.” 

Laurel swatted Jake’s arm as they made their way to the shore. “What’s wrong with you!? You were underwater for nearly ten minutes! Who does that!?” 

Jake looked over his shoulder to her with a grin, mischievous sparkle in his bright blue eyes. “Ten would be a new record, my best is nine.” He leaned down to whisper in her ear. “Imagine nine uninterrupted minutes of me holding my breath, Princess. My birthday is tomorrow, and I know exactly how I wanna celebrate,” he winked.  

Laurel’s cheeks flushed at the suggestion. “Stop looking at me like that, Top Gun.”

—

That evening at the hotel, after a sumptuous feast of lobster, crab, and an endless supply of beer and wine, the Catalyst members eventually went to bed. Much later into the night, Jake was seen sneaking into Laurel’s room. 

—

“I KNEW IT!” Burns typed. She laughed as her friends typed in responses full of lemon, fire, pepper, and eggplant emojis. She popped another cheese cube into her mouth and smiled, watching the rest of the episode play out.

A long non-coding #RNA Pel#ncRNA1 is involved in Phyllostachys edulis response to UV-B stress

Phyllostachys edulis (moso bamboo) is China's most widespread bamboo species, with significant economic and ecological values. Long non-coding #RNA (l#ncRNA) is a type of regulatory #RNA that is longer than 200 nucleotides and incapable of encoding proteins, and is frequently involved in regulating biotic and abiotic stress and plant development. However, the biological functions of l#ncRNA in moso bamboo are unknown. In this study, a l#ncRNA (named Pel#ncRNA1) differentially expressed following UV-B... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37187514/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_campaign=None&utm_content=1RYYbE7j9SUSBe_aHniaI_J1MQIFIBbfLuFxoWdLNMNDzVVIWF&fc=None&ff=20230518031416&v=2.17.9.post6%2086293ac
