If you are referring to GLD in EYFS the word reading EGL is simply ability to recall some GPCs & decode first sets of words - which whilst important, is not ‘reading’. There is an inbalance of SSP in the curriculum that exacerbates gaps for most disadvantaged - that are still prevalent

Someone messed up the copy: the hoi polloi aren't enjoying Marlboro Reds, it's straight GPCs and Senecas out there.

this is good at a high level, very similar to Gatenby and Anderson’s evolutionary ecology of tumors, would be stronger, tho, with opinions or refs on *how* to quantify GPCs and phenotypic state space volume

Not exactly the same thing but it reminds me of a particular genre of nasa engineering ghost stories

At a very high level, I think the best advice for parents is practise as much as possible with the GPCs which the children have learned at school so they really know them (you can now use AI to generate extra practice passages) and develop vocab as much as possible.

Quarters were those things I bought a pack of GPCs with and now I’m old.

my brother and his friends used to smoke GPCs in the 90s because they were like two bucks a pack lol

I found a series of interviews with Nintendo Power Gameplay Counselors I wrote for my website some 15 years ago. Probably many videos/pods around now with GPCs but back then I thought it was quite a get. Still fun to read. #nintendo #nes #nintendopower #retro www.morningtoast.com/stories/nint...

Asking civil servants to reapply for access to GPCs risks/guarantees wasting time on a bureaucratic process for very little saving. Which is close to an open admission of not understanding what government time is worth.

…quantity of practice. In phonics, critical to practise recall of GPCs but also blending, maths needs time and dedication to mastering addition bonds and concepts/facts like near doubles, bridging 10 and so there is variety in how this looks (visuals etc). Reckon starters in phonics and maths… 2/n

뭐 GPCS와 유동상 연소기술 두가지는 현재의 화력발전소에서도 널리 쓰이는 기술이지만요. 그 기계위의 모래가 부글부글 끓는 영상을 보신적이 있다면 그게 유동연소상입니다.

이후에 ACE3000같은 변태같은 아이디어들이 나오긴 하지만 증기기관차는 취미 내지는 역사의 영역이 되어버렸고, 요즘처럼 배기가스 문제가 심한 시대엔 아마 돌아올 가망은 없지 않을까. 뭐 이젠 연관식 횡치보일러라던가, 1.5미터쯤 하는 스포크식 투피스 동륜이라던가 이런 요소기술들이 재현불가능 기술로 되어가는 중인지라.

그리고 2차대전 이후에 디젤기관이 발달하고 50년대 교류전철방식이 개발되면서 이젠 증기의 자리는 없어지게 되었죠. 사실상 기울어가는 말기인데, 이때도 탄광 노선에서는 연료자 자급되는 증기를 여전히 굴린다거나 하는 경우가 있었죠.

증기기관차 매니아들에게 최후의 기술혁신이라 불리는 가스생성연소방식(GPCS)이 개발 활용된게 이 시기. 뭐 기존 방식대비 거의 30~40%의 출력강화를 내면서도 연비도 좋은 정신나갈거 같은 기술인데, 이시대엔 이미 디젤이나 전기가 지배하다보니 뭐 기관차 기술로서는 그닥 성공하지 못했죠.

이게 이른바 가스생산연소시스템(GPCS)와 유동상 연소죠. 여기에 화력발젖소 같은데서는 연소온도를 극한까지 써먹기 위해서 보일러의 벽체를 예열수관으로 덮어서 구조물 냉각과 물의 예열을 같이 하는 등의 수작까지 쓰고 그러죠.
November 23, 2025 at 11:47 AM
증기기관차의 열효율은 구 일본국철이 언급하기로는 6% 정도로, 디젤기관차 20%, 전기기관차 26%에 비하면 정말 터무니없이 낮은 편이죠. 요즘은 전력소자기술 발전 덕에 더 많이 끌어올려지긴 할겁니다마는.

그래서 증기기관차는 실용적 기계라고 할 수 없는 수준이 된거고... 그 ACE3000에서 이야기되던 유동상연소+가스생성연소방식(GPCS)+스팀일렉 등등을 발라도 아마 내연기관보다 효율적이기 어려울겁니다.

사실 상치식 증기터빈을 돌려서 전기를 공급하는게 일종의 증기기관 구동이라고 우길수는 있을수 있겠습니다만.

🌱⚡🇨🇳 China to Expand Green Power Mandates
With RE100 recognizing China’s Green Power Certificate (GPC), more industries—like aluminum and manufacturing—will face mandatory clean energy use. GPCs now support global ESG, carbon audits, and overseas expansion.

We previously described how to purify 10 distinct neural stem and progenitor cell types from the developing brain, including tripotent radial glia (NSCs), bipotent glial progenitor cells (GPCs), and unipotent oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). 4/

These GPCs mostly lived in the outer subventricular zone, a layer of the cortex that is greatly expanded in primates. These cells may thus play an evolutionary role in the dramatic white matter expansion characteristic of human brains. 13/
