(United States Third Circuit) - In a case arising from a bitter bidding dispute for a contract to strip and repaint the Commodore Barry Bridge, in which the contracting agency rejected the lowest bidder-plaintiff because it determined that plaintiff was not a 'responsible' contractor, the district court's judgment in favor of plaintiff is: 1) affirmed in part where the district court did not err in ruling that defendant acted arbitrarily and capriciously; but 2) vacated in part where the district court abused its discretion in directing defendant to award the contract to plaintiff.

Treating neuropathic pain is challenging and novel non–opioid-based medicines are needed. Using unbiased receptomics, transcriptomic analyses, immunofluorescence, and in situ hybridization, we found that the expression of the orphan GPCR Gpr160 and GPR160 increased in the rodent dorsal horn of the spinal cord following traumatic nerve injury. Genetic and immunopharmacological approaches demonstrated that GPR160 inhibition in the spinal cord prevented and reversed neuropathic pain in male and female rodents without altering normal pain response. GPR160 inhibition in the spinal cord attenuated sensory processing in the thalamus, a key relay in the sensory discriminative pathways of pain. We also identified cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript peptide (CARTp) as a GPR160 ligand. Inhibiting endogenous CARTp signaling in spinal cord attenuated neuropathic pain, whereas exogenous intrathecal CARTp evoked painful hypersensitivity through GPR160-dependent ERK and cAMP response element–binding protein (CREB). Our findings de-orphanize GPR160, identify it as a determinant of neuropathic pain and potential therapeutic target, and provide insights into its signaling pathways. CARTp is involved in many diseases including depression and reward and addiction; de-orphanization of GPR160 is a major step forward understanding the role of CARTp signaling in health and disease.

Regenerative pain medicine, which seeks to harness the body’s own reparative capacity, is rapidly emerging as a field within pain medicine and orthopedics. It is increasingly appreciated that common analgesic mechanisms for these treatments depend on neuroimmune modulation. In this Review, we discuss recent progress in mechanistic understanding of nociceptive sensitization in chronic pain with a focus on neuroimmune modulation. We also examine the spectrum of regenerative outcomes, including preclinical and clinical outcomes. We further distinguish the analgesic mechanisms of regenerative therapies from those of cellular replacement, creating a conceptual and mechanistic framework to evaluate future research on regenerative medicine.

Professional and high-performance athletes in Spain were allowed to return to practice, but some were jeered for doing so during the coronavirus pandemic.

 I gave myself a challenge tonight of seeing how quick I could paint some ACW soldiers to a standard I’d be happy to game with. I started off with a black under coat and added single colours to block out the uniform. I forced myself to just use one coat colour ( Foundry Union uniform B), I found later this can be dry-brushed with earth brown and this acts as a highlight. The soldiers are rough and ready campaign guys, so mud and dust was added to them.

Also, I love the fact that the varnish is as hard as nails and will protect them from knocks and scrapes. My last lot, because of the number of them, I just matte varnished without any gloss or floor varnish underneath. This didn’t sit well with me and I’m a lot happier knowing this lot have been dipped.



 As with the ECW lot, the flesh is the only paint I allowed myself to use two colours on. It made such a difference it was a ‘no brainer’. Skin tone under Army Painter needs two colours I think, as sometimes without, it can loose something and the men appear a little lifeless.


 Well after the quick blocking in and weathering I gave them a brush with the Army Painter strong tone. The results were very pleasing, a lot better than the photos do justice really.

For the American Civil War you need a lot of men unless of course you are using skirmishing rules. This I think has to be the route for me now with all of of my big projects, the results are quick and still pleasing. It’s also nice to force yourself into new ways of working which helps keep the hobby fresh and rewarding. I think that is a good word to use for the Dip, rewarding. Seeing those bags of figures in draws get a lick of paint on them and become units and thus, usable.

 We’ll have to see how they turn out when they’re matte varnished
This lot must have taken me an hour maybe a bit less. The brown tone works well on these guys but should be even better on the soft greys and browns of the Confederate army.

Когда я начал свои летсплеи с комментариями для бложика летом 2012-го, у меня к ним был совсем другой подход: я исходил из того, что все читающие, как и я, знают эти игры наизусть, и старался больше шутить о происходящем. За смехуёчками как-то затёрлось то, насколько невыносимо ТУПАЯ вся фф8.

Сегодня фф8 исполняется 21 год. В Америке она смогла бы купить себе алкоголь - может, после трех-четырех стаканов виски её прохождение не казалось бы настолько мучительным.

Одна из ключевых проблем сценария фф8 - повсеместное отсутствие логики в происходящем. У хорошего сценариста каждое событие имеет предпосылки и последствия, причинно-следственная связь не рушится, а персонажи делают те или иные вещи в соответствии со своими чертами характера и условиями, в которые они поставлены.

фф8 рушится к хуям уже НА ПЕРВОЙ РЕПЛИКЕ. Я убеждён, что это рекорд. Самая первая фраза, произнесённая в игре, уже полностью бессмысленна. Проблема только в том, что понять это можно, лишь пройдя игру как минимум наполовину.

Давайте я объясню.
-Эллон должна находиться под защитой белых сидов на тайном корабле. Она почему-то появляется в Гардене, и этому нет никакого объяснения. Белых сидов рядом с ней нет.
-Эллон видит своего братика Скволла впервые за долгие годы. Вместо того, чтобы его, например, обнять и расспросить о жизни, она через стекло кудахчет "ебать мы увиделись" и УХОДИТ.
-Эллон буквально на следующий же день начнёт ебать Скволлу мозг воспоминаниями из жизни Лагуны. Она могла бы сейчас хотя бы предупредить его об этом, объяснить свой план. Ей ничего не мешало поговорить с центральным персонажем её же кейкаку, но нет.

Это первый пример из очень многих.

Ифрит словно из другой игры вообще. Такая пещера с таким боссом была бы уместна в условной фф5. Там герои шароёбятся по всему миру, находят данж, влезают, видят огненного духа, призывают против него Шиву, он такой - "Ух ты бля, у вас Шива есть, неплохо, смертные!"

Но в фф8 Шиву герой высасывает из своей парты. А пещера - это пришкольный участок, куда детишки бегают регулярно на треньку. Ифрит там что, респаунится? И каждый раз удивляется силе людей?

Ифрит ведь - не просто монстр какой. Это NPC с репликами. И это вступает в прямое противоречие с обстоятельствами, которые к нему подводят.
