A veces para bien o a veces para mal. Tanto el ex marine Jack Ryan, convertido en espía de altos vuelos, que estrena temporada en Prime Video, como el recto juez Desiato, al que se le pone la vida patas arriba cuando su hijo le comunica que ha atropellado a alguien y se ha dado a la fuga (Movistar +), como la policía Catherine Cawood de Happy Valley (Movistar +) que también estrena temporada, lo son.

Zdravo. Za začetek se pogovarjamo o tem da smo bolj Homo Emoticus v okviru politične analize sveta, življenja in sploh vsega. Tudi o stanju, oziroma višjem stanju zavesti. 22. junija je 42. dan po Douglasovi smrti in konec retrogradnega Merkurja. Sprašujemo se kam je izginil Zarquon. Vročečrni Desiato se priklopi na sistem za vzdrževanje mrliških funkcij, naši junaki pa so v v galaktični pogrebni kočiji, ker se nihče ni prav zelo veliko pogovarjal z Marvinom. Citat prebere Lauren iz New Yorka, hvala! Tudi o tem, da imajo vse barve neko sporočilnost in da je Zaphod težaški do Arturja. Marvin pove še eno resnico o življenju. Zapiski so na opravicujemo.se ... Hvala ker nas poslušate, podpirate in sledite. Povsod smo @opravicujemose ...

Zdravo! Naj vas naslov nikar ne odvrne, ker se o nagrobnikih in črkah na njih in o tem, če se jih da kupiti na internetih, pogovarjamo po tem, ko obdelamo najbolj perečo temo, kako se izgovarja Zaphod: Zaphod ali po angleško Zejfod. Fascinira nas naprava, ki jo poimenujemo strezn-o-matik oziroma, tudi z mačk-o-matikom bi se zadovoljili! V 18. poglavju 2. knjige pa je tudi ceuga fuka enih vecejev, Ford in Zaphod se izkaže, sta strašna ljubitelja letečih krip, Aljo pa pritrdi Marvinu, da te predvesm zamorijo ti ljudje. Citat prebere druga polovica podkasta Temna stran Lune, Maruša Žerjal, hvala! Zi predstavi idejo sončnih jader za medzvezdna potovanja, Aljo ugotovi da je že desetletja mecen znanosti, Peli pa išče najceneje črke za na grob na internetu. Zaphod prepričuje Marvina, da se pred njim odpira celo novo življenje, Vročečrni Desiato in stražar pa se z dvorane odpravita pred koncem Vesolja in preden svoj veliki prihod izvede Zarquon. Sprašujemo vas tudi, če bi imeli brisače Opravičujemo se za vse nevšečnosti, take taprave, za na morje. Zapiski so na opravicujemo.se ... Hvala ker nas poslušate, podpirate in sledite. Povsod smo @opravicujemose ...

Abstract: Early prenatal inflammatory conditions are thought to represent a risk factor for different neurodevelopmental disorders, with long-term consequences on adult brain connectivity. Here we show that a transient IL-6 elevation, occurring at vulnerable stages of early neurodevelopment, directly impacts brain developmental trajectories through the aberrant enhancement of glutamatergic synapses and overall brain hyper-connectivity. The IL6-mediated boost of excitatory synapse density results from the neuronautonomous, genomic effect of the transcription factor STAT3 and causally involves the activation of RGS4 gene as a candidate downstream target. The STAT3/RGS4 pathway is also activated in neonatal brains as a consequence of maternal immune activation protocols mimicking a viral infection during pregnancy. By demonstrating that prenatal IL-6 elevations result in aberrant synaptic and brain connectivity through the molecular players identified, we provide a mechanistic framework for the association between prenatal inflammatory events and brain neurodevelopmental disorders.

Are you struggling with Spring Cleaning as much as I am? This Girl Daisy invites Professional Organizer, Jessica DeSiato from Thoughtfully Organized to share some insight and tips on how to declutter your home! Personally, I was intrigued with the Marie Kondo method, asking yourself does this time bring me joy? If the answer is NO, be gone with it. This Marie Kondo method is now universal technique where the Japanese organization expert teaches people around the world to rid their homes of clutter.  I read Kondo's best-selling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up  last year, which did motivate me but it was short lived (I have a tendency to accumulate). Moreover, this year Kondo has mainstreamed her method even further when she debuted her new Netflix series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. I mention this because, last year, Jessica helped me clean my office space however, this is not a one time achievement.  Staying organized takes continuous effort or in my case I need a professional organizer since I suffer from the accumulation syndrome.   In Episode 28, Daisy and Jessica have a refreshing conversation about how to begin organizing your home. Jessica suggests asking yourself 4 basic questions that can help you maintain an organized home:  How long has it been since you have worn this? Does it fit you? Is it in good condition?
