![]() ( B) Diagram of CRISPR-Cas9 mediated DNA damage and repair pathways. ( A) Schematic of the transcriptional/translational negative feedback loop that drives rhythmic expression and activity of the four core circadian regulators: Period (Per), Timeless (Tim), Clock (Clk), and Cycle (Cyc). Importantly, the core components of the molecular clock in Drosophila are conserved in humans ( Ch and Takahashi, 2006). In brief, Clock and Cycle activate transcription of period and timeless which, once translated, dimerize and translocate into the nucleus where they bind to Clock and Cycle, thereby inhibiting their own transcription this molecular feedback loop repeats with a 24-hour periodicity ( Figure 1A). ![]() Work in Drosophila has been crucial for understanding the molecular clock, a transcriptional negative feedback loop with four core proteins: Clock, Cycle, Period, and Timeless ( Figure 1A) ( Allada et al., 1998 Hunter-Ensor et al., 1996 Rutila et al., 1998 Sehgal et al., 1994 Sehgal et al., 1995 Vosshall et al., 1994). Circadian rhythms are driven by ‘molecular clocks,’ or proteins that regulate rhythmic gene expression. Disruption in circadian regulation is a common feature of aging and is associated with a variety of adverse health outcomes such as diabetes and cancer ( Rosbash and Takahashi, 2002 Maury et al., 2010 Turek et al., 1995 Wulff et al., 2010). This suggests that clock neurons do not act in a hierarchy but as a distributed network to regulate circadian activity.Ĭircadian rhythms are 24-hour oscillations in physiological functions and behaviors, including locomotor activity, immune system function, metabolism, and sleep ( Allen et al., 2016 Ulgherait et al., 2016 Stone et al., 2012 Hill et al., 2018 Shirasu-Hiza et al., 2007 Panda, 2016 Vaccaro et al., 2017). ![]() While loss of the molecular clock in both the morning and evening oscillators eliminates circadian locomotor activity, the molecular clock in either oscillator alone is sufficient to rescue circadian locomotor activity in the absence of the other. To test this, we developed and validated Gal4-UAS based CRISPR tools for cell-specific disruption of key molecular clock components, period and timeless. It has been assumed that the molecular clock in Pdf + neurons is required for these functions. ![]() A subset of Pdf + neurons (the morning oscillator) regulates morning activity and communicates with other non-Pdf + neurons, including a subset called the evening oscillator. Sixteen of these neurons secrete the neuropeptide Pdf and have been called ‘master pacemakers’ because they are essential for circadian rhythms. In Drosophila, ~150 neurons expressing molecular clock proteins regulate circadian behavior. ![]()

The flash memory market is in the dumps, and record low storage prices probably enabled Apple to keep iPhone prices static despite the inflationary market driving other costs up. Apple is now making billions off services, and the larger their install base, the more they make. The only reason that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max don’t have a MicroSD card is that Apple’s simply making too much money off of storage upgrades.Ĭharging for storage seems like last decade’s business anyhow. Apple knows how to waterproof slots like this, the company’s been doing it for years. There’s no hardware-based reason that Apple can’t do this. A MicroSD card reader would sit quite cozily in the SIM reader slot, just sayin’. What nonsensical backward progress is this, you would proclaim! Sadly, this is the world we live in. You’d be impressed! What if I then told you that storing 600 of those would chew up more than half your internal memory, and that it didn’t have any slot for a memory card. Imagine if I traveled back to 2008 and told you that the most advanced camera in the world could take 48 MP photos. There’s so much possibility, and longevity, that could be unlocked by using this space for modular storage. Swappable cards could bring back mixtapes you could even load and edit video straight off your DJI Mavic drone. ![]() How fantastic would it be to be able to upgrade your phone when you run out of photo space? The new 48 MP camera could certainly soak up that storage pretty quickly-at full resolution, photos can run 100 MB apiece. Apple is rolling out memory-hungry 48 MP cameras and 8K video recording, and now would be a fantastic time to introduce a modular storage slot-especially with a 128 GB base model.ġ GB MicroSD cards run for under $20 now. Our vote? This would be the perfect spot for a MicroSD card. Steve Jobs famously dropped the first iPod in an aquarium, watched some air bubbles emerge, and lambasted the team for wasting all that space. The question is, what will they fill the space with next time? There is zero chance this is staying empty for long. All this Lego talk makes us want to build something. The plastic spacer is roughly the same size as a 2×2 Lego brick and weighs half a gram. It’s still a little eerie and very un-Apple-like to waste space like this. Of course, the US phone is the only model with this empty space-you can see an EU-sourced board with a SIM socket in contrast with a SIM-less US board. This would have been a fantastic spot for an easter egg, or a friendly ‘Hi iFixit’ note, but Apple takes themselves far too seriously for any such shenanigans. With the brains out, we can move on to checking out what was once the SIM reader and is now, well, a whole lot of nothing. Yep that’s a SIM reader in there, our EU team is just keeping you on your toes. Everyone in the Android ecosystem continues to suffer under the tyranny of Qualcomm’s relative performance. Compared to the A15, early benchmarks are showing a 10% improvement in single-threaded performance and a 17% boost in multicore tasks. Fair enough-the Bionic still blows Snapdragon out of the water. Apple’s price for rear glass repair on the 14 Pro Max is $549, a price that seems absurd but actually reflects the difficult process.Īs soon as we get the display off, the A16 announces itself. As we detailed yesterday, the problem with this is the borderline-ridiculous difficulty of repairing the rear glass. Apple left its innovative new design out of its flagship phone completely. This is the same familiar process as the 13-and the last five years of iPhones, for that matter-and entirely different from the brand new procedure we uncovered in the iPhone 14. Then, voilà, the Pro Max is an open book-sort of. Getting past the adhesive seems to be a bit easier than in past phones, but adhesive tack is tough to quantify so it’s hard to say that for certain. So we heat things up, grab our favorite suction cups, and crank this puppy open. First up as always, we’re greeted by those friendly do-not-enter pentalobes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Завдяки ReShade ці графічні технології можна додати майже до кожної гри без втрати ФПС.

Stand in the corner and keep using Shield Burst until you've defeated all the ninjas. Tips (Milla): As Milla you only have to defeat 15 ninjas. The best time to attack is right after he throws 3 cards. Try to wall jump off the sides to get some height for your attacks. Keep track of which move he's going to use next and if you know he's about to shoot cards at the ground, get out of there. The best advice I can give you is to use your Pounce and Wild Claw to hit him, and run away as much as possible. It seems you just have to get lucky with this one. As for Spade, sadly, I couldn't figure out much of a strategy. ![]() During the part with the 99 ninjas, use the curved walls to your advantage, just keep looping around the arena in circles and constantly attacking. Tips (Carol): This is by far the most unfair fight in the game, and to add insult to injury, every time you lose you have to go through 99 ninjas again! As a matter of fact, it wouldn't be too terrible if you didn't have to do that, but since you do. It has no attacks that can hit you when you're right under it. Tips: Stand under it and don't hit it while it's attacking. During the second phase, you can reflect the Shade Elite's bullets with your Reflection Shield. Tips (Milla): During the first phase, you can use your Phantom Blocks to block the bullet rain. During the second phase, keep wall jumping up the wall on the right and hitting it, just try not to get hit by the projectiles and keep going in loops. Stay as close to Serpentine as possible and use your Wild Kick a lot. ![]() Tips (Carol): During the first phase, jump around as little as possible, it's very easy to get caught by Serpentine's rapid-fire into the air attack in the air. During the second phase, Dragon Boost into it repeatedly, and keep away from the Shade Elites, until it lowers, then start using Cyclone to hit it. Tips (Lilac): During the first phase, use the same tactics you used against Serpentine in your fight with him in Fortune Night. Just keep reflecting the ice boomerangs right back into her face. Tips (Milla): Abuse the heck out of your Reflection Shield. Tips (Carol): Use the invincibility frames of Wild Kick to attack her without worrying too much about her ice boomerangs. Remember that the ice boomerangs that hit the ice walls will curve upwards, so don't worry about them as long as you're not too close. I know, it's hard with this one, but the best method for this Boss is to wait for her in the corners, and hit her while she's jumping and just after she throws an ice boomerang. Tips (Carol): Wild Kick is effective for damaging the feathers. Tips (Lilac): Cyclone is very effective for damaging the feathers. There are Life Petals to the left of the airship. Tips: Stay on one of the lower platforms when it starts charging, and either jump up or drop down to dodge it. With the motorcycle, ride up the wall and Spin Jump into it. Tips (Carol): Without the Motorcycle, repeatedly wall jump up as high as you can, then Pounce into it and hit it with Wild Claw. Tips (Lilac): Dragon Boost against the wall and use Cyclone to hit it. Tips: If you prefer to take the slower, safer route, stand at the bottom and wait for it to drop a big crystal, jump on it and when it rises up, hit it. Dragon Boost into him when you're close while he's shooting cards at the ground. Tips: He's vulnerable while shooting cards at the ground. Tips: Don't bother attacking it while glows and spins quickly. This is your opportunity to deal as much damage as you can, safely. When it shifts into phase 2, where it stands up high, attack as much as possible. You should usually be able to get a few good hits in before it switches back to firing blue bullets, then repeat this cycle.Try to keep the plane level, if you're too high up, it becomes a lot easier to get hit by the blue bullets from below. Hold your Super Shield out and wait for two barrages of blue bullets before releasing your Super Shield blast. Tips (Milla): This Boss is much harder as Milla. If your health gets low, just focus on dodging attacks and wait for Milla to drop some Life Petals. Knowing this makes dodging Serpentine's rapid-fire into the air attack no problem to dodge. Tips (Lilac and Carol): Remember that if you release your movement keys, you will continue moving, and stay in the same spot on the screen. ![]() Tips: When Serpentine says "What the?!" you only need to hit it 4 more times to win. ![]() Anybody who's made it this far should have no problem defeating this Mid-Boss. Don't bother trying to attack him while he's using his flamethrower. Tips: Dragon Boost into him when he uses his rapid-fire into the air attack. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Some MVNOs turn to multiple carriers.) So if Verizon’s network is particularly strong where you are, for example, MVNOs that use Verizon’s network for coverage will perform well, too.

Often, larger carriers like AT&T and Verizon will adjust the size of their autopay discount, which can make a pricier plan more attractive. You'll also want to pay attention to discounts and special offers. That said, some carriers - such as Metro By T-Mobile and Boost - do work in a few perks, so be aware of those when picking your plans. That’s because prepaid plans don’t often come with the kind of benefits postpaid cell phone plans offer. When shopping for a prepaid phone plan, price is paramount. View Deal How to pick the best prepaid phone plans Still, plans that offer hotspot data or international calling are worth considering. In addition, we consider the perks that come with the best prepaid plans, though be aware that extra benefits are one thing you may have to sacrifice for prepaid plans' lower rates. (AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon obviously use their own networks for prepaid coverage, but mobile virtual network operators - or MVNOs - like Mint, Tello and Visible use other carriers' networks.) We note when a prepaid carrier might slow down your service and what happens to your coverage when you use up all your data. We look at the network a prepaid service uses. We're not just considering price, though. During our research into the best cell phone plans overall, we take note of the best prepaid options from carriers big and small. Voicemail, call waiting, and caller ID are all included as well.īudget currently serves Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.To find the best prepaid plans, we look for low-cost plans that offer enough data to meet the needs of a typical smartphone user. There are no contracts or fees for any of the company’s plans, and there is nationwide coverage, even though the program is not available in every state. These plans do not offer as many minutes and text messages for the same amount of money, but the prepaid plans may be convenient for some customers. If you are willing to pay money, you can receive additional minutes and text messages for increments of $5.Īdditionally, Budget Mobile offers a number of prepaid plans which are also available in increments of $5. Their basic free plan includes 250 minutes of voice time plus 250 text messages per month. Three of the large national carriers have service in close to 36 states and a number of regional companies that provide Lifeline Assistance service to one or more states.īudget Wireless offers a number of flexible plans which are ideal for customers with different financial situations. The first step in determining your eligibility for free government cell phones is to determine if there is a wireless service provider in your state that is taking part in the Lifeline Assistance program. Families whose children receive free or reduced lunch through the federal government may also be eligible. You also may qualify if you earn less than 135% of the federal poverty guidelines for your state. In general, families who already receive government assistance, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), are eligible. If you currently reside in a state where free cell phones are not currently available, you can still qualify for a free landline. There's a government program called Lifeline Assistance that partners with several of the major wireless companies to provide qualifying families with free phones and free service.Ĭurrently, you can get a free government cell phone in close to 40 states the program is being introduced in new states at a rapid pace. ![]() ![]() ![]() But among these crazy and creative units lies a brilliant and well-balanced system of combat, which offers multiple routes to success. The type of units available often borders on obscene from giant sea squids to trained dolphins, long-range missiles, and extremely powerful (albeit slow) Soviet dirigibles. The game feels similar to its predecessor in terms of mechanics, but the wide variety of units, as well as a focus on combat in more urbanized areas, makes the game very different in terms of strategy, particularly thanks to a much welcome progression in naval combat, which was absent from its predecessor. Catching up with where Command and Conquer: Red Alert finished, C&C2 sees General Romanov rebuild the Soviet forces and unleash hell on the Allies, who are lulled into a false sense of security following Stalin’s defeat in the first game. While not a giant leap ahead in the RTS genre, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 cranked up the fun to 100. Aside from the third faction, which doesn’t quite carry the character of the well-established Nod and GDI factions, the game stays true to the things we loved about the previous incarnations, including the slightly cheesy live action cut scenes (starring proper movie actors such as Michael Ironside) but updated with crisp and beautifully upgraded graphics. ![]() The much-awaited sequel to Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, released in 1999, C&C3 sticks closely to the fundamentals of the Command & Conquer series with little in the way of new game mechanics.ĮA has upped the pace of the game a little, with the most significant change from the previous games being the introduction of a new faction, an alien race called the Scrin. In the case of B and up, it’s a shame they got cancelled, because they had a lot of promise and could’ve been great games had they released, despite any concerns or criticisms that were valid of them - I think those could’ve been handled in the end.Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars takes places in the year 2047, during the Third Tiberium War, following almost two decades of peace between The Brotherhood of Nod and the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) forces. Games in the C section (no pun intended), I’d be intrigued to see how they would’ve panned out in the end but I don’t miss them or regret them being cancelled. Honestly, anything below C in the cancelled games, I’m glad they got canned instead of wasting money and ruining the reputation of the franchise. My impression on how the cancelled games would’ve rated:Ĭ: C&C Arena, C&C Continuum, Project Camacho, Renegade 2 S: C&C3, KW, Generals, ZH, RA2, YR, RenX (technically an indie game, so it counts)Ī: TD, RA1, Remastered, Aftermath, Tib Sun, FirestormĮ: RA Online, Sole Survivor, Tiberium Alliances ![]() Keep in mind this is my personal opinion! ![]() Here’s my list, it’s based not just on story/campaign, features, multiplayer, popularity, balance or gameplay in general, but rather, all of it together.
