Mr gap what are you doing in off!?

( homicipher x off shitpost. I wandered through the purified zone 1 in off to find a secretary just to screenshot the battle screen and edit them out then add my pixelated Mr gap doodle, and let me say it was annoyingly difficult to get one to spawn for me )

21 days of seeking God!

Purify your heart and your motives. You are not to broken, to damaged, or too far from God to be used by Him. We do not need him to fix us. God loves us despite our sin and does so very deeply. God blesses who you are not who you pretend to be. We always fall short of perfection, that is why we all need to be saved.

It is about progression not perfection.

God will transform us, leading us to repentance and righteousness. Our hearts and motives are purified as we experience his:

Unconditional love

Grace

Correction

Joy and Freedom are found when we open our hearts and motives to be purified in God. we represent God and extend his grace to those around us. Allow God to have his way with you. Gim him your heart and mind today.

"When bloodstream infections set in, fast treatment is crucial — but it can take several days to identify the bacteria responsible. A new, rapid-diagnosis sepsis test could cut down on the wait, reducing testing time from as much as a few days to about 13 hours by cutting out a lengthy blood culturing step, researchers report July 24 [2024] in Nature.

“They are pushing the limits of rapid diagnostics for bloodstream infections,” says Pak Kin Wong, a biomedical engineer at Penn State who was not involved in the research. “They are driving toward a direction that will dramatically improve the clinical management of bloodstream infections and sepsis.”

Sepsis — an immune system overreaction to an infection — is a life-threatening condition that strikes nearly 2 million people per year in the United States, killing more than 250,000 (SN: 5/18/08). The condition can also progress to septic shock, a steep drop in blood pressure that damages the kidneys, lungs, liver and other organs. It can be caused by a broad range of different bacteria, making species identification key for personalized treatment of each patient.

In conventional sepsis testing, the blood collected from the patient must first go through a daylong blood culturing step to grow more bacteria for detection. The sample then goes through a second culture for purification before undergoing testing to find the best treatment. During the two to three days required for testing, patients are placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics — a blunt tool designed to stave off a mystery infection that’s better treated by targeted antibiotics after figuring out the specific bacteria causing the infection.

Nanoengineer Tae Hyun Kim and colleagues found a way around the initial 24-hour blood culture.

The workaround starts by injecting a blood sample with nanoparticles decorated with a peptide designed to bind to a wide range of blood-borne pathogens. Magnets then pull out the nanoparticles, and the bound pathogens come with them. Those bacteria are sent directly to the pure culture. Thanks to this binding and sorting process, the bacteria can grow faster without extraneous components in the sample, like blood cells and the previously given broad-spectrum antibiotics, says Kim, of Seoul National University in South Korea.

Cutting out the initial blood culturing step also relies on a new imaging algorithm, Kim says. To test bacteria’s susceptibility to antibiotics, both are placed in the same environment, and scientists observe if and how the antibiotics stunt the bacteria’s growth or kill them. The team’s image detection algorithm can detect subtler changes than the human eye can. So it can identify the species and antibiotic susceptibility with far fewer bacteria cells than the conventional method, thereby reducing the need for long culture times to produce larger colonies.

Though the new method shows promise, Wong says, any new test carries a risk of false negatives, missing bacteria that are actually present in the bloodstream. That in turn can lead to not treating an active infection, and “undertreatment of bloodstream infection can be fatal,” he says. “While the classical blood culture technique is extremely slow, it is very effective in avoiding false negatives.”

Following their laboratory-based experiments, Kim and colleagues tested their new method clinically, running it in parallel with conventional sepsis testing on 190 hospital patients with suspected infections. The testing obtained a 100 percent match on correct bacterial species identification, the team reports. Though more clinical tests are needed, these accuracy results are encouraging so far, Kim says.

The team is continuing to refine their design in hopes of developing a fully automated sepsis blood test that can quickly produce results, even when hospital laboratories are closed overnight. “We really wanted to commercialize this and really make it happen so that we could make impacts to the patients,” Kim says."

Reactions to The Light's Chapter 420

Brief summary: Cale eats apple pie and talks to the System AI. Cale finds out about the videos. Flashback to what happened after Cale fainted.

===========

Cale had the same thought as us! That Alberu must be talking to the Sun God in his dream if he still had yet to wake up. He wondered though if anyone had informed the Roan Kingdom of what happened to Alberu.

Cale: I met the GoD in my dream Eru: Then Alberu… Cale: Maybe he's meeting the Sun God. Eru: Let's wait a little longer. Cale: Yes. *looks at Alberu in pity* Raon: Human! This is the 1st time the crown prince has fainted! Why are you looking at him with such pity? My human is worse than the crown prince! Reflect on your actions! Cale: …

Cale couldn't say anything back at Raon because he was willing to faint in order to unleash DA's full powers back then. 😂😂😂

Cale nodded, watching Raon push the apple pie away from his lying mouth. 'Delicious.' Apple pie. Isn't it really delicious when you pass out and wake up to eat it? -You're crazy. He pretended not to hear Super Rock's lament.

I agree with Super Rock on this one, Cale. 😂 You're really crazy if you think like that. 😂😂😂

Cale talked to the System AI and got three quests:

Get the Purification of Chaos skill

Change the attribute of the divine item to a non-attribute item

Protect System from Transparent Corp.

It seemed that System AI was caught or now being suspected by Transparent Co. that it was doing something contrary to the Transparent Bloods' goals. So it asked Cale to protect them, and Cale agreed.

There was still one quest Cale hadn't finished. [*The aftermath of the birth is spreading rapidly!] [*Legends are being made in New World and beyond to Earth 3!] [*Reward tier decisions will be delayed!] The quest “The Birth of Eden Miru” had an achievement rate of over 300%. However, another change was made to the quest's completion rate calculation. [*There are signs of new changes coming to the birth legend]. [*It appears that a greater legend is being created, and that the birth legend will be part of it]. [*If this is the case, the achievement rate will be calculated based on the greater legend]. [*Achievement rate: 412%]

So Cale's legendary actions fighting the GoC cult even affected Eden's birth quest? Just what kind of reward Cale would get if the achievement rate had already reached 412% and still rising up at this moment? 🤣🤣🤣

The videos that Crazy Attention Seeker recorded were released to the public, and the reactions were chaotic. Fortunately, the last video he took, the one after Cale fainted, was not posted to the forums because Cale's group confiscated the video recorder.

After Cale and Alberu fainted, the GoC cult was still in shock at GoC's temporary appearance and the saint's death. So their only enemy was the two wanderers. But a new ally came to save them - the dark elf NPCs of Hellhole.

The reason why Alberu and Rosalyn disguised themselves as beggars and headed to Hellhole was because of Alberu's quest:

Main Quest 1 [Become the first Dark Elf Emperor!] - In progress -Linked Subquest 5 [Get the recognition of the Witch of the Jungle] - In progress

The Witch of the Jungle was a dark elf, so the two had gone to Hellhole and met the dark elf NPCs. And now, the dark elves appeared in the canyon and looked at the unconscious Alberu. Rosalyn told Cale's group that the dark elves were their allies.

Ending Remarks So many quest info today. Next chapter would probably be more explanation about the dark elves and Alberu and Rosalyn's first meeting with them.
