It is widely used in schools that serve children with special needs and learning difficulties. Starfall is an educational alternative to other entertainment choices for children and is especially effective for special education, homeschooling, and English language development (ELD, ELL, ESL). We also link to copies of audits nonprofit organizations that spent 750,000 or more in Federal grant money in a single fiscal year since 2016. The program emphasizes exploration, play, and positive reinforcement-encouraging children to become confident and intrinsically motivated. Starfall activities are research-based and align with Individual and Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics. Starfall’s emphasis on phonemic awareness, systematic sequential phonics, and common sight words in conjunction with audiovisual interactivity has proven effective in teaching emergent readers.

![]() ![]() Overall, this study showed that multiple chemical activities of a reactive compound can be conveniently monitored in vivo by examining the temporal response of multiple sensitive regulators in the cell to reveal novel activities of the chemicals.īacteria are constantly exposed to oxidative stress conditions induced by diverse redox-active chemical compounds encountered in the environment, whether in abiotic natural habitats or at the interphase with plant or animal hosts. Interestingly, benzoquinone induced the SigR system by forming adducts on cysteine thiols in RsrA, revealing a new pathway to modulate RsrA activity. Monobromobimane was a moderately effective RES and a slow producer of ROS. Diamide was an RES that effectively formed disulfides and a weak RAC that activated SoxR. Plumbagin was an effective RAC that activated SoxR, an effective ROS-producer, and a less agile but effective RES. p-Benzoquinone was an effective RAC that directly activated SoxR, with slower ROS-producing activity, and an effective RES that induced the RsrA-SigR system. Phenazine methosulfate (PMS) was found to be an effective RAC that directly activated SoxR and an effective ROS-producer that induced CatR/PerR with little thiol-perturbing activity. The time course and magnitude of induction of their target transcripts were monitored to predict the chemical activities of each compound in S. We investigated the effect of representative RACs by monitoring the activity of three sensor-regulators in the model actinobacterium Streptomyces coelicolor SoxR that senses reactive compounds directly through oxidation of its cluster, CatR/PerR that senses peroxides through bound iron, and an anti-sigma factor RsrA that senses RES via disulfide formation. Since a single compound can exert multiple chemical effects in the cell, its effect can be better understood by time-course monitoring of multiple sensitive regulatory pathways that the compound induces. However, the effect of a certain compound on the cell has been investigated primarily with respect to a specific regulatory pathway. RACs can induce oxidative stress in cells and activate response pathways by modulating the activity of sensitive regulators.

Comparing Ubuntu to Manjaro would kinda be like comparing Python to Go. These days, I want the distro that out of the box requires the least tweaking to be comfortable with, and that has for most recent years been Ubuntu derivatives thanks to having by far the largest community/resources available. They are all basically equivalent, with different levels of effort and customization. I guess my answer to which linux distro is best is literally "Whichever you are most comfortable using". And when WSL releases GUI app support (it already has CUDA drivers), I'm not sure if I will main Linux again even if I will miss the Budgie environment. It doesn't help the Rog Zephyrus G14 is still bugged on any linux distro but honestly, I have access to everything I need on Windows for far less effort.

Namely my time and effort, and a 5-30% performance hit. ![]() This resulted in me going down the VFIO VM with GPU passthrough or Wine with DXVK routes, but ultimately there was always a cost. And because I feel guilty I main Windows, let me caveat that I have for many years in the past mained a variety of distros (Knoppix,Fedora,Centos,Ubuntu derivatives), but inevitably hit a point where gaming and key apps I need are either not performant or do not work. ![]() ![]() When it came to designing the BOSS Katana, I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during that corporate meeting. Albeit, the moniker is different now and the sound quality is 10X better. BOSS still uses this tech with the newest version of the BOSS GT-1000. The COSM technology was used with the BOSS GT units, and it only got better with time. Roland used this already with it’s guitar synth pedals, and it was applied to the new lineup of BOSS effects units. The COSM technology is an acronym for “Composite Object Sound Modeling”. ![]() You see, BOSS and Roland are the same company. It had a fantastic acoustic simulator as well. The VG8 effects unit was way ahead of it’s time, and it did a lot of cool modeling tricks long before Line 6ever created the POD System. This technology goes all the way back to 1995, as it was first featured on the Roland VG8 system. The first few attempts were hit or miss, until BOSS started using COSM technology. Later on, BOSS moved into the digital realm in the early 2000’s to compete with other companies that were making multi-effects units. The third one is still in my toolbox and has been for over a decade, but this is a serious testament to BOSS quality. One at a gig, and then another at a festival show. I think I have only owned 3 of these TU-X pedals over the course of 23 years. ![]() For me, the BOSS Tuner has always been a staple of my rig. I think every guitarist that uses pedals has at least one BOSS pedal that they really enjoy, and it will stay on the pedalboard through all kinds of transitions.
