It took some time, but I had reached that point, again, amidst a tragic loss. The 8 months of “field research” that I engaged in after 1.5 years of sobriety in led me to the familiar line, “how did I get here (again)”. We get the opportunity to choose an alcohol-free life every time.
We don’t have to give people everything they ask for; we just have to visibly do our best, care about the result, and be reasonable and respectful about it. I’ve already talked about the links between play and health as part of my Talking Points series – twice, in fact, given that resilience is a key element of mental health. We were rightly concerned that the containment lockdowns would heighten the risk to individuals in abusive domestic situation; this is a clear risk factor. Its own obnoxiousness driving people away from the entire medium only exacerbates this grip; people get a taste and never make it to the good stuff.
Mainly the tone curve LAB settings and your color calibration is very confusing – how did you come up with this approach? But since the raw files also do not contain a hole lot of color information at the borders I start to think about how such situations could be handled more suitably. I hope someone used to this exercise will chime in — I tend to think there’s an approach better than others, for this kind of image, just from a signal processing perspective. But from a colour management and overall interpretation viewpoint, I don’t know what to do with this image, and to be honest, I like the hues you’ve achieved in the sky. I was wondering how much better you guys can recover data from the shadows compared to my approach (while maintaining a decent overall look)!

(D) A representative chart of the L1 starvation survival rates of different miRNA mutants. However, it remains unclear how, and to what extent, miRNAs coordinate animal survival and development in response to stresses. Unlike dauer diapause, L1 diapause is not accompanied by life cycle changes and has not been shown to require certain signaling pathways that control the formation of dauer diapause such as TGF-β signaling (daf-1, daf-7) and nuclear hormone receptor (daf-12) (2, 3). When late, first larval stage (L1) worms sense unfavorable conditions, they enter an alternative and long-lived larval stage called dauer larvae (or dauer diapause). The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans responds to starvation by entering developmental arrest at multiple stages of its life cycle (1).
The transcript level of unc-31 was increased in mir-71(lf) worms, compared with that of wild-type controls that were normalized to the value of 1. MiR-71 represses the expression of age-1 and unc-31 through the actions on their 3′UTR, but miR-71 is not required for arresting M cell division during L1 diapause. We found that the poor survival rate of daf-16(mu86)(lf) was further decreased by mir-71(lf) (Fig. 2C), consistent with the notion that a portion of miR-71 activities regulate genes that act in parallel to UNC-31–mediated InsR/PI3K signaling for long-term survival during L1 diapause. (B) The severely reduced survival rate of the mir-71(lf) mutant was suppressed by a null allele of unc-31(e928).
- These lived experiences can offer meaningful insight, showing that recovery is possible even when it feels far away.

We identified a conserved “pause and play” mechanism of cell cycle during environmental stress and recovery. On 31 October, the band announced the 2025–2026 Tanzneid World Tour and released the song “Tanzneid” with a music video featuring Zummo on drums for the first time. On 29 April, Friedrich announced his departure from Electric Callboy after 13 years with the band, stating his intention to pursue a new direction in life. In March 2022, they announced that they had changed their name from Eskimo Callboy to Electric Callboy after learning that “Eskimo” can be seen as an outdated term and slur for the Inuit and Yupik people.
(C) The reduced L1 starvation survival rate of ain-1(lf) mutants was significantly suppressed by a null allele of unc-31. Compromising overall miRNA function dramatically reduces the survival rate of L1 worms in starvation-induced diapause, and the effect can be significantly suppressed by an age-1/PI3K mutation. Our genetic analysis indicated that for both L1 diapause survival and developmental recovery functions, miR-71 regulates expressions of genes in both the insulin receptor-dependent and -independent pathways. (F) Fluorescence and DIC images showing that an hbl-1 3′UTR reporter was repressed in mir-71(+) worms and slightly derepressed in mir-71(lf) mutants. (E) DIC images showing that hbl-1(RNAi) caused precocious VPC divisions in late L2/early L3 in both wild-type and mir-71(lf) worms recovered from 4 d of L1 starvation. (C) Bar graph showing that the delayed VPC timing defects of mir-71(lf) worms was suppressed by an unc-31(lf) mutation and partially suppressed by an age-1(rf) mutation.

Which leads me to add to my wholehearted endorsement of Gene’s call for libraries to make allowances for people to avoid play and games. The fact that family game night might, as Gene remarked, be a source of trauma is primarily an indictment of the state of those families – but given play’s links to health and the fact that games can heal and promote bonding and caring, it seems unwise to ignore the qualities of the games they are playing. It’s easy to take this as a joke – families fight over board games, oh well, It’s Only A Game – but if you dig even slightly into this, you find that some of these experiences are genuinely traumatic, as one would expect might be necessary to give someone a lifelong aversion to an entire medium. Monopoly is… as legendary for spawning bitter family fights and for dragging on interminably even though it’s obvious who’s going to win as it is for being widely played. The spending limit for a child account is set to 0 by default when the account is created by the family manager.

Intestinal miRNAs Play Critical Roles in L1 Starvation Survival.
These models are used not just in clinical care but in recovery college programmes, self help groups, and community-based services across the UK. Peer support interventions are now recognised as valuable components of mental health recovery. This mix of professional oversight and personal connection helps create a balanced group dynamic where people feel supported emotionally and practically. This is when people who have faced similar mental health challenges share their stories and offer mutual encouragement. Over time, participants often find that being part of a group helps them build confidence, improve communication, and better understand their own needs in recovery.
Furthermore, miR-71 plays a prominent role in developmental recovery from L1 diapause partly through repressing the expression of certain heterochronic genes. Here we show that compromising overall microRNA (miRNA) functions or mutating certain individual miRNAs impairs the long-term survival of nematodes during starvation-induced L1 diapause. But offering people opportunities to explore games and play in a safe, non-abusive, self-directed context like a library seems to me to matter, and for folks who are more likely than most to have social anxieties, finding those opportunities can be extremely hard. This certainly accords with the rise of therapists using games as therapy – a web search for “Dungeons & Dragons therapy” shows the recent explosion in ways in which people are finding healing in play. That means that when sales are up, more people are playing this and other older, less-fun games instead of games with the advantage of more than a century’s advancements in the art and science of play, including co-operative games, social games, nomic games, and more. The PlayStation Family app lets you manage your family from your mobile device, and offers additional options to monitor your children’s play time.
Child accounts don’t have their own PlayStation wallet but can spend funds from the family manager’s wallet within an assigned spending limit. Only a family manager can reset the password for a child account. Over time, many clients report feeling more connected, better equipped to manage emotional challenges, and more able to integrate self-awareness into their daily routines.
At festivals, the group shared the stage with acts like Casper, Distance in Embrace, and Rantanplan. The band was a support act for groups like Bakkushan, Callejon, Ohrbooten, We Butter the Bread with Butter, and Neaera. The band’s debut EP, Eskimo Callboy, was self-released in 2010 and was distributed via EMP. She has been reinventing her recovery since having children. A young people’s AA group in So CA allowed her to meet some great young people, and they partied without the alcohol. Her life became different when she let others help her and did what they said.
The coordinated entrance into developmental arrest, long-term survival, and the reinitiation of development upon food availability are important biological processes to investigate. Different organisms have developed versatile growth arrest strategies to overcome starvation-induced metabolic and developmental revery play problems. Food deprivation is a life-threatening challenge that animals frequently face as individuals and as species. Numerous animal species across multiple phyla enter developmental arrest for long-term survival in unfavorable environments and resume development upon stress removal.

This feels like one of those posts where if I had more time I could make it shorter… but I don’t. Fun seems self-evident, but I would just gently remind readers that fun is non-trivial; is in fact the active face of joy, as beauty is the passive. As above, play without consent, treating others as toys without independent will rather than as fellow players, is oppression and abuse. In fact, one of the great, almost pre-verbal lessons of play is precisely that the magic circle of play exists only with, is in large part comprised of, the willing participation of everyone in and around it. That curation isn’t only about having collections available for loan or in the library space; it’s also about making actual play experiences available.
In December, the band announced that they were removing a selection of their old songs from all platforms due to lyrics that had “become increasingly problematic in modern times”. Since she got sober at 19, she has been revisiting fun at her current stage of life. Paul encourages you to check in with yourself about your feelings about your AF journey.
