When she sees Allen using the answers that he wrote all over his body, she cheats as well by reading the answers off of him. Punky and Allen are the only kids in the class to receive perfect scores on the test. Mike thinks that his tests are not enough of a challenge for Punky and Allen, so he gives them extra work. Allen and Punky decide to work hard on this assignment, naming unique facets of every state, and their next test they earn As. When report card time comes, Punky is surprised her grade is a C. Mike says he wondered about Allen and Punky's furtivness during the first test, and realized they cheated. As punishment, he gave them Fs for the first test. However, the second test was an A fair and square, thus both tests averaged to a C. Mike also tells Punky it is up to Henry to determine her punishment, as he will be wondering why she got a low grade after so much studying.

Punky Brewster Wiki

Welcome to the Punky Brewster Wiki

***Punky Brewster*** is an American franchise about Punky Brewster, a bright, spunky, bubbly girl who wears bright-colored, mismatched clothes and loves to help people. Her story commences when she was eight years old, when she was abandoned by her parents and taken in by Henry Warnimont. Years later, her story continues in the ***Punky Brewster* reboot**, where Punky is now a single mother of three who encounters a young girl who reminds her much of her younger self.

The franchise began as a sitcom in the eighties, where it was quickly joined by an animated spin-off ***It's Punky Brewster***, and it was picked up for a ten-episode reboot in 2020, all featuring Soleil Moon Frye in the lead as Punky.

*Punky Brewster* reboot is expected to be released on July 15, 2020 when the Peacock streaming service becomes accessible for the wide public.

Hands Across the Halls

"**Hands Across the Halls**" is the sixth episode in the third season of *Punky Brewster*.

## Summary

Punky, Henry, and Brandon's regular viewing of "Lifestyles of the Pets of the Rich and Famous" is interrupted by a small fire in the opposite apartment. The apartment's resident, elderly Maude Firestein (Irene Tedrow), is apologetic for the mishap, with most being sympathetic except for chronic complainer Pete "Frank the Crank" Frank (Bruce Kirby), who wants Mrs. Firestein out of the building. Inside Mrs. Firestein's apartment, Henry discovers that the fire is the result of burning pajamas—Mrs. Firestein was drying her pajamas in her oven because she can't make it to the dryer in the building's basement.

Mrs. Firestein's situation turns out to be even worse than that, as her son is now married and living in Philadelphia, and her son is strongly urging her to move into a nursing home for her safety. After finding out just how much Mrs. Firestein has to lose, Punky and Cherie are determined to rally the building into helping her stay. A meeting of all tenants is called, but Mr. Frank's resistance, combined with everyone else's busy lives, almost sinks the idea. When Mr. Frank's father Ben (Bill Erwin) is revealed to be the person who's been chosen to take over Mrs. Firestein's lease, Mr. Frank throws his full support into Punky and Cherie's plan, rallying the building, and saving Mrs. Firestein from the nursing home. However, the joke is on Mr. Frank in the end when his father and Mrs. Firestein begin to date!

Mixolydia

### God of

Music, song, structure, creation, beauty, performance, communication, inspiration, peace, meditation

## Meta information

### Creator

Olivia

Mixolydia is the newest god in Musea, and is purportedly the goddex of music and peace. There is no concrete proof of their existence.

## Overview

Worship of Mixolydia apparently started among a small group of elves and humans in northern Musea. These individuals believed strongly in the healing properties of music, and developed a theory that the music itself was a kind of god. They decided to attempt playing a neverending song by rotating musicians and bringing in volunteers, allowing the song to change into whatever it may but never allowing it to stop. While this started as nothing more than an experiment, it began to catch on, and before long there were churches for Mixolydia all over Musea.

The neverending song, which followers refer to as Mixolydia themselves, appears to have some sort of effect on most people who participate in it. Followers describe the experience of “playing Mixolydia” as having a healing, calming effect that promotes peace and meditation. Many Museans see this as nothing more than a farce or cult, but others see it as a powerful form of religious expression.

## Obedience

Sing or play a musical instrument in public where strangers can hear you and be inspired by you. If no suitable public areas are located nearby, compose an original poem about Mixolydia’s influence in your life and leave it where a passing stranger may find it. Gain a +4 sacred or profane bonus on saving throws against sonic effects.

The type of bonus depends on your alignment—if you’re neither good nor evil, you must choose either sacred or profane the first time you perform your obedience, and this choice can’t be changed.

### Boons

1. **Communicator (Sp):** *comprehend languages* 3/day, *whispering wind* 2/day, or *sculpt sound* 1/day
2. **Quiet Muse (Sp):** You can cast silenced *brilliant inspiration* three times per day.

The wish spell that Glomer had for Punky turned out to be come in contact with Margaux instead.

Bacillus megaterium

Back to Bacteria Information

*Bacillus megaterium* is Latin for the big beast
because it is an extremely large bacteria, it is about 100 times as large
as *E. coli*. Due to its immense size, about 60 micrometers
cubed, *B. megaterium* has been used to study structure, protein
localization and membranes of bacteria since the 1950’s. Most notably, *B.*
megaterium*is the organism that was used by Lwoff and Guttman in the*
studies that discovered lysogeny.

*B. megaterium* has
been an important industrial organism for decades. It produces penicillin
amidase used to make synthetic penicillin, various amylases used in the baking
industry and glucose dehydrogenase used in glucose blood tests. Further, it is
used for the production of pyruvate, vitamin B12, drugs with fungicidal and
antiviral properties, etc.[2] It produces enzymes for modifying
corticosteroids, as well as several amino acid dehydrogenases.

*B. megaterium* is
known to produce poly-γ-glutamic acid. The accumulation of the polymer is
greatly increased in a saline (2–10% NaCl) environment, in which the polymer
comprises largely of L-glutamate (L-isomer content up to 95%).[4] At least one
strain of B. megaterium can be considered a halophile, as growth on up to 15%
NaCl has been observed.

*megaterium* grows at temperatures from 3 °C to
45 °C, with the optimum around 30 °C. Some isolates from an Antarctic
geothermal lake were found to grow at temperatures up to 63 °C.

*B. megaterium* has been recognized as an endophyte and
is a potential agent for the biocontrol of plant diseases. Nitrogen fixation has been demonstrated in some strains
of *B. megaterium*.

### Genome structure

*Bacillus megaterium* is one of the first
bacteria's genome that has been fully coded.

### Current Research

*B. megaterium* has often been used in the
laboratory, and is used as an industrial organism that is able to produce a
variety of proteins and sources of bioremediation. *Bacillus megaterium* is
a good source of industrial proteins because it is both a desirable cloning
host and produces a large variation of enzymes. This species is good cloning
host because it is able to house numerous plasmid vectors while remaining
stable due to its unique external proteases. The organism does not have
alkaline proteases; which allows for recombinant protein synthesis. Using *Bacillus*
megaterium*scientist have developed numerous proteins that are*
commonly used in the medical and agricultural field. For example, many
synthetic penicllins have been derived using the penicillin amidase in the
bacteria; harvested glucose dehydrogenase is used in glucose blood tests;
ß-Amylases which are often used in the bread industry; and neutral proteases
which are used by the leather industry. Several strains have proven to be good
hosts for gene expression. One strain, QM B1551, is still used to produce the
antigen for HIV Diagnostic Kits. The biotechnological study of the *Bacillus*
megaterium*provides a plethora of different proteins that they are*
able to employ in important medical, scientific and industrial advances.

Sheep Eye Dissection

I would like to do the sheep
eye dissection this semester in Bio16, if possible.  This would be on
April 8th.  I believe we have enough dissection trays, needles,
and scalpels.

Please order 16 eyes.  8
per class – 6 groups, 1 demo, 1 extra.  Here is one source: http://biologyproducts.com/sheep-eye/

Let me know if you have any
questions or concerns.
