Herrentoilette Hist Inst.
Pros:
Im besten Institut der RWTH+
Sauber +
Charmante Graffiti +
Klopapier immer Voll +
Seifenspender immer Voll +
Desinfektionsmittelspender (nach corona ende erneut überprüfen aber vorerst +)
Stofftrockentuchspender immer voll +
Obwohl, oder vielleicht sogar weil das Historische Institut soweit abseits des Hauptgebäudes liegt hat sich hier eine gemütliche und ganz eigene Kultur entwickelt, die sich auch in den Toiletten abzeichnet. Sind in anderen Gebäuden nur zufällige Sticker und teils wüste Beschimpfungen auf den wänden der sanitären Anlagen zu finden haben sich im Historischen Institut neben Diskussionen auch Gedichte der Höchsten form Grafitös eingeschlichen. 10/10 would shit here again

Run With the Hunted 6: Burned Asset is out now, which means that there are TWO COMPLETE narrative cycles of Run With the Hunted?
But hey, what does that mean?
Run With the Hunted is my ongoing cyberpunk heist novella series that have three female leads, and these leads take turns narrating. Bristol, the self-made socialite is our opener. Bits the hacker takes over in RWTH2. Dolly, the ex-supersoldier narrates RWTH3, and then the cycle begins anew.
They are fast reads (about 2 hours each?), contain at least one main heist/crime per book, and while they're fairly episodic, when you step back and look at the entire whole, there are character arcs and other breadcrumbs that become apparently throughout the whole work.
I am VERY interested if somebody could still get something out of reading like, only Bristol books, etc. but am too close to it (obviously) and have no idea if/how that would work.
There is a preview for Run With the Hunted 7 at the end of RWTH6: Burned Asset. Per usual, I will collect the second cycle into hardcover omnibus edition. I also have short stories (on my Patreon!) that take place in between the novellas and will eventually be their own collection, but I need a few more, I think. The fact that I've done a Christmas story per narrator has made chronologically ordering /spacing the stories a bit difficult.
All 6 books are on Hoopla, so if your local library gives you access to that, you can read them there for free! Otherwise, they're available as widely as I could make them (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, etc. etc.)

So my Docent for a course this last semseter had the wrong email for me and I was too emberassed to tell him that after missing two correctional mails about parts of the submission for the course (we had to hand in a portfolio of 3x 5-7 page Essays in order to pass this course).
The last few weeks I was therefore shivering in embarrassment and fear that he either might have forgotten about my essay or I failed and didnt get the mail. But it seems I did actually quite well on the essays (passed with 1,3).
Moral of the story: I Guess my anxiety still doesnt get punished enough and I therefore shall not reflect on my actions and can keep not interacting with RL people for a few months after everytime I do a tiny oopsie concerning them.

Studi / Il terremoto “dimenticato” in Andalusia che segnò la fine di El Castillejo, centro fortificato islamico medievale
Studi / Il terremoto “dimenticato” in Andalusia che segnò la fine di El Castillejo, centro fortificato islamico medievale
La ricerca è stata pubblicata su Plos One.
Il centro islamico medievale di El Castillejo, in Andalusia (Spagna), è stato abbandonato nel XIII secolo molto probabilmente a seguito di un forte terremoto. Lo rivela uno studio pubblicato sulla rivista PLoS ONE: si tratta della più antica testimonianza ad oggi nota di un terremoto nella regione di Granada. La scoperta potrebbe fornire nuove informazioni utili per la prevenzione del rischio…

The human immune system is based on cells that communicate with each other via signaling molecules known as cytokines and chemokines. One of these signaling molecules is the protein MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor). It plays an important role in the regulation of various immune reactions by binding to suitable receptors of various cell types in a ternary complex, thereby activating certain signaling pathways in these cells.
Surprisingly, there are plant proteins that are very similar to the human MIF protein in the sequence of their individual building blocks (amino acids) and these are referred to as MDL proteins.
A team led by Jürgen Bernhagen from the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research (ISD) at University of Munich Hospital and Professor Ralph Panstruga from the Unit of Plant Molecular Cell Biology at RWTH Aachen University in collaboration with a research group led by Professor Elias Lolis from Yale University in the U.S., has now shown that MIF and MDL proteins are also astonishingly similar in their spatial structure.
Lead author Lukas Spiller and the team also found that the plant MDL proteins bind to the receptors of the MIF protein, alone or in complexes with the human MIF protein, and are thus able to activate immune-relevant signaling pathways—in some cases more efficiently than the human MIF protein alone.

The architecture of Ernst Kasper (1935-2008) was about framing life and giving life an architectural form. In his many school buildings Kasper repeatedly developed communicative spaces, a life-long quest that began in 1965 with the his first school in Wegberg and which found its conclusion in the Maria Montessori School in Aachen in 2001. This passion for learning spaces and true-to-life architecture was awakened during his assistantship in Fritz Eller’s school building institute at RWTH Aachen, his alma mater.
In 1964 Kasper founded his office in Aachen together with Karl Wimmenauer, a former student and collaborator of Rudolf Schwarz, a short-lived partnership that was replaced by the Planungsgruppe Kasper with changing partners. This model was necessitated by Kasper’s appointment as professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 1971 from which he only retired in 2000.
On the occasion of Ernst Kasper’s 70th birthday the Deutsche Architekturmuseum in 2005 hosted a comprehensive retrospective of the architect’s oeuvre, conceptualized by his disciple Susanne Gross in consultation with the honoree. The accompanying catalogue, unpretentious and organized like a work catalogue, provides a vivid cross-section of Kasper’s work from his earliest buildings from the 1960s to the late works like redevelopment of the Kaiserbad area in Aachen, a complex ensemble of buildings that offers countless perspectives on the surrounding buildings and urban space. Kasper’s accomplished draftsmanship is also underscored by the numerous drawings reproduced in the catalogue that is a worthy tribute to an influential postwar architect.

Precious Bane and Gone to Earth were two of my favorite books of the year, so I am looking forward to returning to Mary Webb’s bucolic Shropshire and beautiful prose in Seven For A Secret. Webb is to Shropshire as Thomas Hardy is to Wessex. Both writers’ works are imbued with the natural world and folkloric traditions of their respective regions.
Update: This is a cautionary tale about narcissism and snobbery that endangers the happiness of two young people who love one another. Mary Webb describes the feelings of the protagonists with insight and sensitivity, and I also enjoyed the descriptions of pastoral beauty.
Some spoilers: A love triangle develops between Gillian Lovekin, a farmer’s daughter, Robert Rideout, a cowman-shepherd who works for Gillian’s father, and Ralph Elmer, the newly arrived, monied farmer who has bought the local inn. The characters of the two men are a study in contrasts: the good hearted and loyal Rob and Ralph, the flashy newcomer. Gillian is the ingenue who is well acquainted with Rob’s genuine heart and reliability, but she is dazzled by Ralph’s affluence and higher social status. The story has secondary love triangle that develops later involving Robert Rideout, Gillian and Rwth, a mysterious woman who has lived with Ralph Elmer as a servant. While Seven for a Secret isn’t on the level of her most famous novels, Mary Webb fans will want to read it.
Excerpts:
She knew that the heavens were not the same heavens for all. The rain did not fall equally on the evil and the good.
It is not true that temptation is worse for young men. It is the middle-aged men, wistful with loss or unfulfillment, prone to melancholy, reverential of youth, glad of any music to sing them out of remembrance of the gathering silence – it is they who find it hard to say no.
Let the best man win, added Elmer.
Robert: I dunna (don’t ) set up to be the best. And in this world the best dunna often win
A man’s genius is egocentric – a woman’s altruistic – sacrificial.
In fact, Gillian Lovekin began to grow up, began to grow wiser, for she began to suffer. And to suffer is to be sensitized to the cosmos and everything within it, from a grain of dust to the soul of a poet.

Abendessen, Fußball, Monschau, und Berlin :ö
Dinner, football, Monschau, and Berlin !
This past week has been WILD in Aachen. A lot of good fun has taken place. Research has been busy and straightforward. Firstly, Valerie and I cooked a penne pasta dish with tomatoes, feta, and garlic. The oven started to smoke as the oil in the dish burnt. We managed to rectify the situation.
Visual reference of the ultimate comeback!
Deutschkurs is going well! We learned how to order and bargain in German in Monday's class. Pictured here is the exercise featuring Olisename's groceries.
On Tuesday night, we went to a Germany vs Colombia soccer game in Essen. Colombia won 2-0. There were so many Colombian fans which is surprising but very cool.
The UROP program took a trip to Monschau this past Wednesday. Monschau is a quaint town on the Belgian border and is known as one of the prettiest German towns. It was quite beautiful and felt like a mountain town. I got to explore Monschau for a couple of hours and enjoyed some schnitzel nom nom.
This weekend I traveled to Berlin. I was able to see many historical sites such as the East Side Gallery, the Berlin Wall Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Jewish Museum. On Friday, I went to the Pergamon, Altes, and Nues Museums.
Checkpoint Charlie was the best-known border crossing between East and West Berlin. American and Soviet Union tanks faced each other at this checkpoint.
Here are pictures of an exhibit in the Jewish museum and the East Side Gallery, respectively.
Not only was Berlin a historical experience but an international one. I met people from all around the world at the hostel I stayed at. I'm so glad we chose to stay at a hostel compared to a hotel or air bnb.
That's all for this week my people. Bis in einer woche!

Lining Up
Just as fastidious gardeners might erect a trellis to guide their plants, tissue engineers build microscopic scaffolds to support and steer cell development. To overcome the challenges of precise construction at tiny scales, researchers have been experimenting with imbuing the materials with magnetic properties, which might mean the pieces could be aligned by an external magnetic field. A new study aimed to develop a form of injectable 3D hydrogel (a material that supports cell growth), with rod-shaped microgels containing magnetic nanoparticles. The nanoparticles, made of an iron oxide called maghemite, let researchers create a carefully aligned structure of rods (red in the video, with both parallel and perpendicular arrangements) over which mouse fibroblasts (connective tissue, green and blue) can grow. Tweaking the magnetic field strength or orientation enabled control over the scaffold setup, highlighting the potential of this approach for steering the growth of cells for regeneration and repair.

25.04.2023 - Followed plan (well done to me), and had a great night :>
I'm happy that I had a good time earlier. I'm proud for actually going and putting myself more out there, and I'm really, really happy it paid off.
Went to the gym earlier this morning, had to cut it a bit short though because I was running late on my schedule :( It's ok, now I know to time my transportation times better hehe.
Library was super full during the day, I'll go earlier, and also check out the 4th floor.
In the evening I went to like a social event by one of the international clubs at the RWTH. Had a drink, met a ton of people, it was a great time. Got the number of some of them, I'll keep in touch.
It was honestly a really good time though. I'm happy I went, and I'm looking forward to the next times.
It definitely put a lot of hope and joy in me, to be honest. I'll think a bit more about tomorrow maybe, but right now I'm exhausted, so heading to bed!
Goodnight, and I'm happy you had a great time :>
Thank you, I did hehe. Goodnight!
