Glycation and inactivation of aspartate aminotransferase in diabetic rat tissues.
Glycated cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase was detected in the liver and kidney of streptozotocin diabetic rats using a boronate affinity column for adjacent cis-hydroxyl groups and an immunoblotting technique. The enzymatic activity and amount of immunoreactive substance were determined in the liver, kidney, and erythrocytes of diabetic and control rats. The ratio of enzymatic activity to the amount of enzyme was lower in diabetic rat tissue than in that in the control rats. It has been suggested that there is an inactive aspartate aminotransferase molecule in the tissues of diabetic rats. We therefore suggest that the cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase was inactivated in the diabetic rat tissues by a glycation reaction, accompanied by an impairment in glucose utilization.

Lesson: Glycation and Inactivation of Aspartate Aminotransferase in Diabetic Rat Tissues

Introduction:
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of amino acids. In this lesson, we will learn about glycation and inactivation of cytosolic AST in diabetic rat tissues.

Core Value:
The core value of this study is the discovery of glycated and inactive AST in diabetic rat tissues. This finding suggests that glycation reactions can lead to the inactivation of enzymes, which may contribute to the impairment of glucose utilization in diabetic patients.

Section 1: Glycation and Inactivation of AST

Topic 1: Glycation
Glycation is a non-enzymatic reaction between a reducing sugar and a protein or lipid, resulting in the formation of an advanced glycation end product (AGE). AGEs can cause structural and functional changes in proteins, leading to their inactivation.

Topic 2: Inactivation of AST
In this study, the researchers found that the ratio of enzymatic activity to the amount of enzyme was lower in diabetic rat tissue than in that of control rats. This suggests that AST was inactivated in diabetic rat tissues due to glycation reactions.

Section 2: Experimental Methods

The researchers used a boronate affinity column for adjacent cis-hydroxyl groups and an immunoblotting technique to detect glycated cytosolic AST in the liver and kidney of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. They also determined the enzymatic activity and amount of immunoreactive substance in the liver, kidney, and erythrocytes of diabetic and control rats.

Section 3: Discussion and Conclusion

The findings of this study indicate that glycation reactions can lead to the inactivation of AST in diabetic rat tissues. This inactivation may contribute to the impairment of glucose utilization in diabetic patients. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms behind glycation and enzyme inactivation can help in the development of therapeutic strategies to improve glucose metabolism in diabetic patients.

Glossary:
- Glycation: A non-enzymatic reaction between a reducing sugar and a protein or lipid, resulting in the formation of an advanced glycation end product (AGE).
- AST: Aspartate aminotransferase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of amino acids.
- Streptozotocin: A chemical compound used to induce diabetes in experimental animals.
- Immunoblotting: A technique used to detect specific proteins in a sample by binding them to an antibody.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the glycation and inactivation of cytosolic AST in diabetic rat tissues. We also discussed the experimental methods used to detect glycated AST and the implications of these findings for diabetic patients. By understanding the mechanisms behind glycation and enzyme inactivation, we can develop therapeutic strategies to improve glucose metabolism in diabetic patients.

Memorial bench will honor longtime Claremont coach

CLAREMONT — A memorial dugout bench at Barnes Park has been installed by the Parks and Recreation Department to honor former youth baseball coach Ralph Silva, who passed away this fall.

"He touched so many lives," his friend, John Bly, said Friday. "Ralph was just an excellent human being to everybody."

The bench marks the spot Silva would always sit and where players knew they could find him.

Silva coached for nearly 60 years, Bly said, starting in Charlestown where he coached a young Carlton Fisk, who went on to be a Hall of Fame major league player.

Silva is well-known in Claremont for coaching multiple sports at Stevens High School and as the gym teacher there for decades.

A few years ago, Silva was inducted into the New Hampshire Coaches Hall of Fame, Bly said.

"Ralph was always about, 'How am I going to help this kid play the sport he wants to play,'" Bly said. "He could take a player with no talent and turn them into a superstar and I've never seen anybody else do that. He was unbelievable."

His son, Paul Silva, now coaches and teachers at Stevens High School.

"He took over his dad's legacy there," Bly said. "He is also the head football coach there, too, and a full-time teacher there."

Bly, a State Police dispatcher living in Concord, was raised in Claremont by his grandparents.

When his grandmother was apprehensive about Bly playing sports, Silva came to the house to talk to her. Silva coached Bly through high school, was his gym teacher, and after graduation encouraged him to be a youth baseball coach as well.

"He treated me like his own family," Bly said.

About 10 years ago, Bly started a summer baseball camp in Claremont in honor of Silva. The camp is now known as the Coach Ralph E. Silva Memorial Youth Baseball Camp.

"Coach Silva is my mentor and he was in my life since I was a young boy in Claremont and basically I came up with this youth baseball camp back when he was still alive," Bly said. "If it wasn't for Ralph I wouldn't be coaching 23 years later."

Bly continues to co-run the camp with Paul Silva.

Regarding the memorial dugout bench, Bly told Paul Silva, "Now you still have your dad in the dugout."

exactly like his dad. He's a great coach and a great teacher."

The bench is located near the ball fields in Barnes Park, where Silva spent countless hours coaching and watching his grandchildren play.

"He was a very humble person," Bly said. "He didn't want any recognition for what he did. He just loved coaching and he loved kids."

Raid and Gaming Performance

Introduction to Raid:

Raid which stands for Redundant Array of Independant Disks is a technology that has been used for years to enhance performance and provide fault tolerance to the server and workstation market segments. Recently Raid has become more and more commonly found in the desktop and consumer markets as the prices of controller cards and drives has dropped. This trend will likely continue as storage and competition increases to capture this growing market. For a full explanation of raid and its intended purposes see our article here. For now though understand that there are several implementations of raid which can be used but the most common are Raid 0 and Raid 1. Since this article focuses upon the performance enhancements gained by Raid we shall be using a Raid 0 array for our tests.

The Theory:

The theory behind creating a raid array to benefit gaming is that since many currently available games load a huge amount of textures and information from the hard drive into video and system memory that utilizing a raid array can lead to significantly reduced load times and lag while playing the game. The load times come into play during map and level transitions as well as during gameplay when movie sequences or transitions occur. These transitions can be very frustrating when your game pauses to load information from the hard drive into memory and you are faced with a stuck or stuttering frame while it loads.

Synthetic vs Real World Testing:

Thanks to the combined efforts of HighPoint and Samsung we are bringing you real world testing to prove or disprove the currently held opinions about Raid and gaming. First we tested the HighPoint Raid controller 3520 in an enterprise server setup to demonstrate the common uses of this equipment. We will bring you these resultgs and then show you the desktop gaming application testing.

We would like to thank each of the manufacturers for their co-operation in helping this testing happen. This is especially true of HighPoint and Samsung who each went out of their way to assist with getting us hardware for these tests.

It is important to note the performance of the Samsung drives used in testing as it will affect performance.

text: Which Madame X is the correct Madame X?. Google image search is a wonderful thing. I get why we all love it. But if you are interested in accuracy, there are some compelling reasons to become a more sophisticated searcher.Above you can see a reproduction of John Singer Sargent's "Madame X" from 1883-84, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum's own image is on the left.. On the right you can see a photo collage called "18 Madames X" created from the top hits of a Google image search. Which of those hits would you have chosen?. Notice not only the many different color casts, but in the Metropolitan reproduction, there is great subtlety in the shading of the skin and the painting is not cropped, thus the relationship between the placement of the figure to the painting as a whole is how Sargent intended it to be seen.

Lesson: How to Become a More Sophisticated Searcher

**Introduction**

Search engines like Google have made it easier for us to find information quickly. However, with the vast amount of information available online, it's essential to know how to refine our searches to get accurate results. In this lesson, we will learn how to become more sophisticated searchers by using advanced search techniques.

**Section 1: Understanding Search Engines**

Search engines work by using algorithms to crawl and index web pages. These algorithms determine the relevance of a page to a particular search term. To become a more sophisticated searcher, we need to understand how these algorithms work and how to use them to our advantage.

**Section 2: Advanced Search Techniques**

There are several advanced search techniques that we can use to refine our searches and get more accurate results. Here are some of them:

1. Use quotation marks: Using quotation marks around a phrase or a specific word will help you find pages that contain that exact phrase or word. For example, "Madame X" will return results that contain those exact words in that order.

2. Use the minus sign: The minus sign can be used to exclude certain words or phrases from your search. For example, if you're searching for information about the painting "Madame X," you can exclude results that contain the word "Sargent" by using the query "Madame X" -Sargent.

3. Use the asterisk wildcard: The asterisk (*) can be used to replace one or more words in a search query. For example, if you're looking for information about the painting "Madame X," you can use the query "Madame *." This will return results that contain "Madame" followed by any word.

4. Use the OR operator: The OR operator can be used to combine multiple keywords or phrases into a single search query. For example, if you're looking for information about both "Madame X" and "Sargent," you can use the query "Madame X" OR "Sargent."

5. Use the AND operator: The AND operator can be used to combine multiple keywords or phrases into a single search query. For example, if you're looking for information about both "Madame X" and "Sargent," you can use the query "Madame X" AND "Sargent."

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's apply these advanced search techniques to a real-world scenario. Suppose you're researching information about the painting "Madame X" by John Singer Sargent. Here are some ways to refine your search:

1. Use quotation marks: "Madame X" will return results that contain those exact words in that order.

2. Use the minus sign: "Madame X" -Sargent will return results that contain information about the painting but exclude any mention of the artist.

3. Use the asterisk wildcard: "Madame *" will return results that contain "Madame" followed by any word.

4. Use the OR operator: "Madame X" OR "Sargent" will return results that contain information about either the painting or the artist.

5. Use the AND operator: "Madame X" AND "Sargent" will return results that contain information about both the painting and the artist.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned how to become more sophisticated searchers by using advanced search techniques. By understanding how search engines work and using techniques such as quotation marks, the minus sign, the asterisk wildcard, the OR operator, and the AND operator, we can refine our searches and get more accurate results. By applying these techniques to a real-world scenario, we can see how they can be used to find information about a specific painting.

## Lesson: Prioritizing Love and Money in Life

### Introduction
In this lesson, we will explore the importance of prioritizing love and money in life. We will discuss the challenges of balancing both and how to make informed decisions about what is most important to us.

### Section 1: The Importance of Love and Money
Love and money are two of the most important aspects of our lives. Love is what drives us to connect with others, form meaningful relationships, and feel a sense of belonging. Money, on the other hand, provides us with the means to live comfortably, achieve our goals, and secure our future.

However, balancing both can be difficult. Sometimes, we may have to choose between pursuing a career that pays well or spending more time with our family. Other times, we may have to decide whether to invest in our future or spend our money on experiences that bring us joy in the present.

### Section 2: Balancing Love and Money
Balancing love and money requires careful consideration of our priorities and values. We need to determine what is most important to us and allocate our resources accordingly. For example, if we value our family more than our career, we may choose to work fewer hours or take time off to spend with them. Similarly, if we value financial security more than material possessions, we may choose to save more and invest in our future.

To make informed decisions, we need to consider the long-term consequences of our choices. For instance, if we choose to prioritize our career over our family, we may miss out on important moments in our children's lives. On the other hand, if we prioritize our family over our career, we may struggle financially in the future.

### Section 3: Practical Examples
Let's consider a few practical examples to illustrate how we can balance love and money in our lives.

Example 1: John is a young professional who has just started his career. He is passionate about his job and wants to succeed. However, he also values his relationship with his girlfriend, Sarah, and wants to spend as much time with her as possible. To balance both, John and Sarah decide to plan their weekends together and make sure they have quality time together. They also communicate openly about their expectations and priorities, ensuring that they are on the same page.

Example 2: Mary is a single mother who works full-time to support her children. She values her family above all else but struggles to make ends meet. To balance love and money, Mary decides to work part-time hours and take up a side hustle to supplement her income. This allows her to spend more time with her children while still providing for their needs.

### Glossary
- Love: A deep affection or fondness for someone or something.
- Money: Any currency used as a medium of exchange.
- Prioritize: To arrange (items) in order of importance or urgency.
- Balance: To manage or control (something) so that it remains stable or even.
- Invest: To commit (money) in something, such as a business or property, with the expectation of achieving a profit.

### Conclusion
Balancing love and money is essential to leading a fulfilling life. By carefully considering our priorities and values, we can make informed decisions that align with our goals and aspirations. Whether we choose to prioritize our family, our career, or our financial security, we must remember that all aspects of our lives are interconnected. By finding a balance, we can live a happy, healthy, and prosperous life.

**Purpose:** To introduce students to the fundamental concepts of geometry, including points, lines, angles, and shapes.

**Content:**

- **Points:** A point is a basic concept in geometry, representing a specific location in space. It has no size or dimension, but can be represented by a dot or a letter (e.g., A, B, C).

- **Lines:** A line is a straight path that extends indefinitely in both directions. It is formed by two points, called endpoints, and all the points lying on the line between them. Lines can be represented by a straight line on a graph or by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is its y-intercept.

- **Angles:** An angle is the figure formed by two lines that meet at a common point. Angles can be classified into different types based on their measure, such as acute, obtuse, and right angles. Acute angles measure less than 90 degrees, right angles measure exactly 90 degrees, and obtuse angles measure more than 90 degrees.

- **Shapes:** Geometry also deals with various shapes, such as triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and polygons. Each shape has its own properties and characteristics, which can be used to classify and identify them.

### Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

**Title:** Applying Basic Geometry Concepts

**Purpose:** To demonstrate how basic geometry concepts can be applied to real-world situations.

**Content:**

- **Perimeter and Area of Shapes:** Students will learn how to calculate the perimeter and area of various shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, and circles.

Lesson: Introduction to Photography

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this section, we will explore the basic concepts of photography, including exposure, composition, and lighting.

### Subsection 1.1: Exposure
Exposure refers to the amount of light that enters the camera lens and hits the sensor or film. The three elements that control exposure are shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Shutter speed is the length of time the camera's shutter is open, while aperture is the size of the opening in the lens that lets light in. ISO is the sensitivity of the camera's sensor or film to light.

### Subsection 1.2: Composition
Composition refers to the arrangement of visual elements in a photograph. There are several composition rules that photographers follow to create visually appealing images. These include the rule of thirds, leading lines, and symmetry.

### Subsection 1.3: Lighting
Lighting is an essential element of photography. It can be used to create dramatic effects, highlight certain elements in a scene, or set a mood. There are several types of lighting, including natural light, artificial light, and mixed lighting.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
In this section, we will apply the theoretical concepts learned in section 1 to real-world scenarios.

### Subsection 2.1: Exposure
Let's say we want to take a picture of a landscape at sunset. We know that the sky will be bright due to the setting sun, so we need to adjust our exposure settings to capture the details in both the sky and the foreground. To do this, we can use a lower ISO setting, a smaller aperture, and a longer shutter speed.

### Subsection 2.2: Composition
Let's say we want to take a portrait of a friend. We know that the rule of thirds suggests that we should place our friend off-center, but we also want to include some background elements to add interest. To do this, we can position our friend slightly to the left or right of the frame and include some interesting background elements that lead the viewer's eye to the subject.

### Subsection 2.3: Lighting
Let's say we want to take a picture of a food dish. We know that natural light would make the colors of the dish look washed out, so we decide to use artificial light. We set up a few lights around the dish and experiment with the placement and intensity until we get the desired effect.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
In this section, we will engage in self-debating discussions to teach critical thinking.

### Subsection 3.1: Exposure
What happens when we increase the ISO setting on our camera? How does it affect the image quality?

### Subsection 3.2: Composition
What are some common composition mistakes that photographers make? How can we avoid them?

### Subsection 3.3: Lighting
How does the time of day affect the lighting in a scene? Are there any advantages to shooting during specific times of the day?

## Glossary
- Exposure: The amount of light that enters the camera lens and hits the sensor or film.
- Composition: The arrangement of visual elements in a photograph.
- Lighting: The use of light to create a certain mood or effect in a photograph.

Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the basic concepts of photography, including exposure, composition, and lighting. We then applied these concepts to real-world scenarios and engaged in self-debating discussions to teach critical thinking. By understanding these concepts, we can improve our photography skills and create visually stunning images.

Left-over Ideas – Rice

It’s a very rare occurrence that I have left-over cooked rice, however with the change of season, and our embrace of potatoes and sweet potatoes the brown rice I made isn’t getting eaten. Now time to get creative!

Soup! Add to any vegetable soup. I keep my rice in the fridge and add it to soup when the soup is nice and hot, the rice cools down the soup and the soup heats up the rice. It’s a perfect addition to a veggie soup, especially one that doesn’t contain starches.

Cereal – Blend rice with boiled water, just enough to make a mushy consistency. Add some maple syrup, cinnamon and berries. For additional sweetness mash a banana. If the rice is not soft enough cook for a few min on low after blending with water.

Freeze it – did u know rice can be frozen. This works well with brown rice.

Milk – blend with hot water and strain. Add some vanilla and a pinch of salt. Stays fresh for about 3-4 days.

SSS

I am not a morning person. My idea of a perfect day is one that allows me to sleep in until 8:30AM. Waking up at 5AM on a weekday isn’t something I’d like to do on a daily basis but there I was, on a Monday morning, thumbing sleep out of my system to settle some business with a government office before lunch break. Loan applications with SSS used to be a breeze before… until an “IT upgrade” set back their system and forced (some) people to file things manually.😒

PROS: Filing your loan application in person allows you to choose the pay-out option, either through check or cash card.

An oversight cost me another day so I took an emergency leave (thanks for the advice, friends!) to settle everything by Tuesday.

CONS: Waking up early is key to getting things done before lunch time. The whole process alone takes at least 4 hours, including the waiting time.

We got there around 6:40AM and I was already #50 in the queue! Can you imagine how early #1 was? It took me 2 hours before my number was called and here’s where it gets interesting. Since I had no UMID, my payout options were either through check or cash card. I chose the latter so I had to fill out some forms at the UnionBank corner of the building. By the time I was done with everything, it was 11:12AM and I was famished, sleepy and smelly.

Our government truly has a long way to go to make these services efficient for its citizens.

Edited to add: To be fair, loan proceeds arrived exactly a week after I submitted my application. Not bad at all.👍
