Phylogenetic analysis and identification of amino acid residues and sequence motifs conserved in DGAT3s.(A) Phylogenetic analysis. The presumed evolutionary relationships among the 27 DGATs from 19 organisms were analyzed by phylogenetic analysis. The numbers in the parenthesis following DGAT names are the calculated distance values, which reflect the degree of divergence between all pairs of DGAT sequences analyzed. (B) Identification of amino acid residues and sequence motifs conserved in DGAT3s. Multiple sequence alignment was performed using the ClustalW algorithm of the AlignX program of the Vector NTI software. Each DGAT sequence name is on the left of the alignment followed by the position of amino acid residue of DGAT protein sequence in the alignment. The numbers before, in the middle and after the amino acid residues in the sequence alignment represent the number of residues in the divergent region as previously used [63]. The letters at the bottom of the alignment are the consensus residues. Color codes for amino acid residues are as follows: 1) red on yellow: consensus residue derived from a completely conserved residue at a given position; 2) blue on cyan: consensus residue derived from the occurrence of greater than 50% of a single residue at a given position; 3) black on white: non-similar residues. The complete sequence alignment is shown in Figure S2. The abbreviations of the organisms are: Ah, Arachis hypogaea (peanut); At, Arabidopsis thaliana; Bd, Brachypodium distachyon; Gm, Glycine max (soybean); Hv, Hordeum vulgare (barley); Lj, Lotus japonicas; Mt, Medicago truncatula; Os, Oryza sativa (rice); Pg, Picea glauca (white spruce); Pp, Physcomitrella patens; Ps, Picea sitchensis (sitka spruce); Pt, Populus trichocarpa; Rc, Ricinus communis (caster bean); Sb, Sorghum bicolor (sorghum); Sl, Solanum lycopersicum (tomato); Sm, Selaginella moellendorffii; Vf, Vernicia fordii (tung tree); Vv, Vitis vinifera (grape); Zm, Zea mays (corn).
Here I use a long M6 shoulder bolt so I can "aim" the tail light straight back and centered on the seat stays.
Planetary alignment at sunrise on 6/24/2022. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are all visible...plus the Moon on this particular morning. I couldn't see Mercury by eye but managed to find it in the photos very low in the morning twilight. The last time the planets lined up visually like this was 2004...next time not until 2040. Glad I wasn't clouded out !

Shrine of Pope John XXIII
A sentence of John XXIII impressed me during this visit:
"We must think that in the world there is only once, there is a morning and there is one evening.
For a Christian, however, even the setting sun remains shimmering.
For those who have the sense of justice and love of the Lord, light is always intense and constant. "
Una frase di Giovanni XXIII mi ha colpito durante questa visita:
"Bisogna pensare che al mondo ci si sta una volta sola, c'è un mattino e c'è una sera.
Per un cristiano, tuttavia, anche il sole che tramonta permane sfavillante.
Per chi ha il senso della giustizia e dell'amore del Signore la luce è sempre intensa e costante."
The trolleybus in the foreground (number 373) has "dewired" (as we say in the US).
(We also say "the trolleybus has lost its poles." Sometimes, we put the blame on the driver: we say, "He has lost his poles.").
Not long after arrival in Constanţa, I watched a trolleybus "dewire" in this area. The current collectors ("trolley poles") struck the overhead contact system (OCS). The OCS then began shaking with great intensity. This, in turn, caused about four additional trolleybuses to "dewire."
I was amazed - and astounded - to see this.
The image above is a "vanished scene" because the area has changed "almost" beyond recognition.
Trolleybuses operated in Constanța from 1959 to 2010. Two (2) historic maps of the Constanţa trolleybus system, by Tram Club Romania. This page is also available in English.
Constanța was also served by trams. A horse-worked tramway connected Constanța with Techirghiol, briefly, during 1905-1906. A local railway between Constanța and Mamaia was opened during 1905. This carried passengers only during the summer season. It operated in town streets between Constanța station and the Black Sea coast until 1938, when the street-track segment was replaced by a new reserved-track alignment.
The first urban motorbus service in Constanța was opened during 1920. An electric tramway service operated during 1943-1944, using tramcars captured as "pradă de război" (war booty) from Odesa (the tramcars were recovered by Soviet forces and returned to Odesa). Electric tramcars again served Constanța from 1984 to 2008.

Amtrak California Capitol Corridor Train #535 to San Jose, CA., departing Sacramento, CA., is seen winding through the new station alignment at Sacramento, CA. Today the conductor is a fellow photographer and with a fueled trainset and about 30 passengers boarding at Sacramento, this trainset is 58 seconds into its run. Hopefully it made San Jose, CA., on time and with no issues!

The staff of Brookhaven's National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) have completed a preliminary test of one of the project’s critical design issues -- to determine how closely the magnets stay aligned when they are moved from their assembly point to the NSLS-II tunnel. The results confirm that the magnets’ high-precision alignment would survive the process of transporting and installing and fixing the girders to the ground in the tunnel.

When you're setting up the lays on your press, a transparent grid can be very useful to get things straight. Make an impression on the top sheet, then put the grid over it and adjust the lays to fit. It's amazing how a fraction of a degree off-square can look so obviously wrong.
There have been commercial products — Alignmate has been discussed online recently, and there was another called Esila but you can easily print your own with a laser printer and some acetate. If there's a job you print regularly with the same format you can produce one specially for that.

It was rainy, so I fabricated a fixture/spacer to move the polar scope alignment set screws outside of the mount's housing so you can easily adjust alignment. This is the prototype. With 3 small pieces of felt tape and the O ring, the polar scope aligns perfectly concentric to the mount's RA axis.
After nature's alignment, we see the shore, two boats, and the sun line up just right. These images were taken just after sunrise on Pleasant Bay at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It's good to see on a quick visit with totally crappy weather, that we could squeeze in a few good shots like these. I hope you like them.

Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov (Russian: Алексе́й Архи́пович Лео́нов, IPA: [ɐlʲɪˈksʲej ɐˈrxʲipəvʲɪtɕ lʲɪˈonəf]; born 30 May 1934) is a retired Soviet/Russian cosmonaut, Air Force Major general, writer and artist. On 18 March 1965, he became the first human to conduct extravehicular activity (EVA), exiting the capsule during the Voskhod 2 mission for a 12-minute spacewalk.
In July 1975, Leonov commanded the Soyuz capsule in the Soyuz-Apollo mission, which docked in space for two days with an American Apollo capsule.

Biography
Alexei Leonov (left, back row) with fellow cosmonauts in 1965
Leonov was born in Listvyanka, West Siberian Krai, Soviet Union. In 1936, his father Arkhip was arrested and declared an "enemy of the people". Leonov wrote in his autobiography: "He was not alone: many were being arrested. It was part of a conscientious drive by the authorities to eradicate anyone who showed too much independence or strength of character. These were the years of Stalin's purges. Many disappeared into remote gulags and were never seen again." In 1948 his family moved to Kaliningrad. In 1957 Leonov graduated from Chuguev military pilot's academy in the Ukrainian SSR.[1]
He was one of the 20 Soviet Air Force pilots selected to be part of the first cosmonaut group in 1960. Leonov was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (the only cosmonaut that was not was Konstantin Feoktistov). His walk in space was originally to have taken place on the Voskhod 1 mission, but this was cancelled, and the historic event happened on the Voskhod 2 flight instead.[2] He was outside the spacecraft for 12 minutes and nine seconds on 18 March 1965, connected to the craft by a 5.35-metre (17.6 ft) tether. At the end of the spacewalk, Leonov's spacesuit had inflated in the vacuum of space to the point where he could not re-enter the airlock. He opened a valve to allow some of the suit's pressure to bleed off and was barely able to get back inside the capsule.[3] Leonov had spent eighteen months undergoing intensive weightlessness training for the mission. Leonov is the last survivor of the five cosmonauts in the Voskhod programme.
In 1968, Leonov was selected to be commander of a circumlunar Soyuz 7K-L1 flight. This was cancelled because of delays in achieving a reliable circumlunar flight (only the later Zond 7 and Zond 8 members of the programme were successful) and the Apollo 8 mission had already achieved that step in the Space Race. He was also selected to be the first Soviet person to land on the Moon, aboard the LOK/N1 spacecraft.[2] This project was also cancelled. (The design required a spacewalk between lunar vehicles, something that contributed to his selection.) Leonov was to have been commander of the 1971 Soyuz 11 mission to Salyut 1, the first crewed space station, but his crew was replaced with the backup after one of the members, cosmonaut Valery Kubasov, was suspected to have contracted tuberculosis (the other member was Pyotr Kolodin).[citation needed]
Leonov was to have commanded the next mission to Salyut 1,[4] but this was scrapped after the deaths of the Soyuz 11 crew members, and the space station was lost. The next two Salyuts (actually the military Almaz station) were lost at launch or failed soon after, and Leonov's crew stood by. By the time Salyut 4 reached orbit, Leonov had been switched to a more prestigious project.
Leonov's second trip into space was similarly significant: he commanded the Soviet half of the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz mission – Soyuz 19 – the first joint space mission between the Soviet Union and the United States.
From 1976 to 1982, Leonov was the commander of the cosmonaut team ("Chief Cosmonaut") and deputy director of the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, where he oversaw crew training. He also edited the cosmonaut newsletter Neptune. He retired in 1992.[2]
Leonov's painting Near the Moon (1967)
Leonov is an accomplished artist whose published books include albums of his artistic works and works he did in collaboration with his friend Andrei Sokolov. Leonov took coloured pencils and paper into space, where he sketched the Earth and drew portraits of the Apollo astronauts who flew with him during the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project.[4][5] Arthur C. Clarke wrote in his notes to 2010: Odyssey Two that, after a 1968 screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Leonov pointed out to him that the alignment of the Moon, Earth, and Sun shown in the opening is essentially the same as that in Leonov's 1967 painting Near the Moon, although the painting's diagonal framing of the scene was not replicated in the film. Clarke kept an autographed sketch of this painting—which Leonov made after the screening—hanging on his office wall.[6]
Together with Valentin Selivanov, Leonov wrote the script for the 1980 science fiction film The Orion Loop.
In 2001, he was a vice president of Moscow-based Alfa-Bank and an adviser to the first deputy of the Board.[7]
In 2004, Leonov and former American astronaut David Scott began work on a dual biography/history of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Titled Two Sides of the Moon: Our Story of the Cold War Space Race, it was published in 2006. Neil Armstrong and Tom Hanks both wrote introductions to the book.
Leonov was also a contributor to the 2007 book Into That Silent Sea by Colin Burgess and Francis French, which describes his life and career in space exploration.

Legacy
Alexei Leonov (right) shares a moment with Anton Shkaplerov (left) in October 2011.
A crater on the far side of the Moon was named after Leonov in 1970,[10] near Mare Moscoviense (Sea of Moscow).
Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2010: Odyssey Two was dedicated to Leonov and Andrei Sakharov; and the fictional spaceship in the book, the Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, was named after him.
Leonov wore a Russian Poljot "FMWF Strela" watch (a transliteration of СТРЕЛА, which actually means "Arrow") chronograph during his historic first space walk.
At an Apollo-Soyuz Test Project press conference, Leonov stated (in English) that, while in the United States for ASTP training, he wanted to visit Hollywood, because he had aspirations of being a movie star. (He then joked, "I don't want [to be a movie star] ... Tom Stafford want!")
Leonov, along with Rusty Schweickart, Vitaly Sevastyanov, and Georgi Grechko established the Association of Space Explorers in 1984. Membership is open to all people who have flown in outer space.
In the Star Trek novel Destiny: Gods of Night there is a ship named the U.S.S. Alexei Leonov, which is sacrificed to save the planet Korvat from the Borg.
Leonov is featured as a character in the 2013 Doctor Who comic book story "Space Oddity", published by IDW Publishing.
The film The Age of Pioneers (2017) is based on Leonov's account about the Voskhod-2 mission. Leonov was portrayed by Evgeny Mironov.
The song "E.V.A" by Public Service Broadcasting on their 2015 album The Race for Space references Leonov becoming the first man to undertake Extra-Vehicular Activity in space.
