Going shopping with mom and dad ... Adaptation report


could not remember the last time I take to buy clothes for you together. All ended in terrible tantrums and dad (because one could not go with you) corriéndote by all sides to prevent you went to the street. Not to mention when I had to try on clothes to make sure the waist he wore, or did you talk !!... deadweight and there was no way you'll stay still. So the latest
sometimes directly used the time you were in the garden to go alone to buy what you needed. I went with the size that you no longer entered or noted on a slip of paper for the pants (something I find hard to find the size horrors just because you're too skinny), went with the jeans or sweat pants in the portfolio for comparing long waist.
on Tuesday decided to your dad go shopping to renew your wardrobe a bit, because as often happens at each change of season, you used months ago and does not enter. Your dad fearing what happens always called me the force to coordinate clocks and said: "I leave you with your Dad does not? and I'll go with you so the card payment. "" No, "I replied," I have to buy pants and I'm tired of going back and forth 10 times until you find the right size to try at home; intemal go with him last if the going gets tough, I go back tomorrow. "
Well, we said and done.
Before leaving home, as you said you changed:" Valen want to go for a walk with Mom and Dad? ", to which you pussy's because you love life (like your grandmother says Lili) stroll, (hehe), said: "If !!!!!". Looking into your eyes I said," Well, look we're going to buy new pants, if you 're good mom buys you candy we agree? "and I seriously you answered" Yes ". When we go down the elevator looked at me and told me" Mom! vamo a company 'pants with Daddy, yes! "" Yes, Valen, three to go buy a pair, remember you told me you were going to wear it ... how to behave? ", and you hop in your happiness that characterizes you answered me:" Koha! ".
arrived and began searching the racks with the help of the seller. To my surprise you remained our side and not even tried to run away to nowhere. When the girl brought a gabardine pants which I fell in love at first sight I said, "Mom, patalón, it! "" You like this are worth? "," Siii! ", I answered you." With this beautiful jean shorts and I saw you got my little brother and went to the tester: "Well Valen, let's get the pants to see how it is, give him? ".
Luckily the locker rooms were large, so I thought:" Great!, so I avoid falling to the ground sitting trying to prove the clothes with one hand and grab it so it does not exhaust me the other. "was not necessary. You did great, you let mom jeans you try the two twice, because the two guys prove long and I wanted that will last a while (since it is not a cheap house to go to buy every month, haha!). I looked in the mirror super vain about how you were, you knew you turned and looked back, I lifted up the shirt to look you in the mirror and you matabas belly laugh.
After Dad found some beautiful red shoes to match and I tested them super happy.
The seller told us (and nearly died of excitement): "The fact that he behaved very well!, Behold, I am used to seeing around here, guys who cry because they would not try on clothes that are thrown to the ground or yell at their moms, but this baby is more than well-behaved. " I thought, "You should have seen the previous times you would not think the same, haha!" Re
were happy to pay and as a reward I gave a packet of "Yapa" pills, candy colors. You sat very quiet and wait until your legs crossed over each other and I said: "I sat down (sorry) and Indo (Indian)" I estimate that this term did you get the garden and that is what tells your womb when sitting in a circle in the room. Then I asked my dad upa got your attention because the noise of the machine that gives the ticket and looked around super attentive.
When we left the place we look to your dad and said happily: "The truth is more than well-behaved!".
Actually yes!, You're a champion!
seem silly my stuff but for me it was something super important as ever we had done before.
Yes, we know Dad, love you, (now because before it was all an issue too), shopping at the supermarket. With your typical "Chinese vamo Mom!", They call the Chinese supermarket is close to home (actually in our neighborhood is full of Chinese supermarkets), go out re happy and you love to go. Know you and greet you all when you are there: the butcher, the greengrocer, the girl in the box. And you answer (I reckon imitating me): "Hello how are you?" To each of them. I love to put things I'm asking you in the pram or choose your cookies or dessert in particular. This stage was over, thanks God. As before, for me it was a difficult issue to deal with (as I said) because as I very often to buy (and sometimes more than once a day), should get into the cart to prevent you went running through the shelves or you you were running to the front door with the added difficulty crossing the street (my God I do not want to imagine!).
But going shopping with you was something complicated and difficult. Luckily yesterday I could do and the prettiest of all was that you enjoyed it!.
Now for the first time in your four years old do not I have to go change your pants or shoes for a size larger. That good!, No?.

I love you prince!

Learning A Lot!

I've been learning a lot here at the conference. Joe and I have been practicing our duet. We get to sing tomorrow night for the big dinner. And we are singing Friday-Sunday. It's really exciting!

Our dance group has learned a lot of new dances too! Marissa is having a lot of fun. But she is still made that they don't let her dance with the candles. She has to dance with a vaso of agua. All of my tios are teaching like my Dad. It's really a lot of fun here. :)

I'm most excited for Saturday night's show. My tios are performing a big show too! We get to dance for part of it. The whole conference is fun. I'm glad my Dad brings me. And I'm glad he pays for Joe to come too!

We're getting ready to go for dinner. I'm really hungry today. My pansa keeps making noise. I hope we go somewhere with good food. :) C

Of Yeast and Men

Nature reports on the Dissection of genetically complex traits with extremely large pools of yeast segregants.


Ehrenreich et al have a new way of mapping the genetic basis of complex traits in yeast, "complex" being what geneticists call anything which isn't controlled by one single gene. They dub their approach "Extreme QTL mapping". This suggests images of geneticists running experiments atop Everest, or perhaps collecting blood samples from lions with their bare hands, but actually

Extreme QTL mapping (X-QTL) has three key steps. The first is the generation of segregating populations of very large size. The second is selection-based phenotyping of these populations to recover large numbers of progeny with extreme trait values. This can be accomplished, for example, by selection for drug resistance or by cell sorting. The final step is quantitative measurement of pooled allele frequencies across the genome.

The basic idea is to cross breed two strains of yeast to generate lots of different hybrid strains each with a random selection of DNA from each "parent". Then, you put all the hybrids under some kind of selective pressure - for example, by adding the toxin 4-NQO to their dish.

Some yeast are more or less resistant to 4-NQO, and this trait is largely determined by genetics. So after a while, the vulnerable hybrids will die out and only the most highly resistant strains will be left in the 4-NQO dish to reproduce. It's a quick and dirty form of selective breeding. Finally, you can compare the genetics of the 4-NQO resistant hybrids to a control group of hybrids who didn't get any toxins, using a GWAS. Any genetic differences are likely to represent 4-NQO resistance genes.

Using this method, Ehrenreich et al found no less than 14 4-NQO resistance variants. That includes two replications of previous findings, and 12 new ones. Collectively, the genes explained

59% of the phenotypic variance in 4-NQO sensitivity in an additive model. Because we measured the heritability of this trait to be 0.84, the loci explained 70% of the genetic variance, indicating that we have explained most of the genetic basis of this trait with the loci detected by X-QTL.

In other words, they've found most of the genes with a substantial effect on 4-NOR resistance, but not all of them. (They then did the same thing for several other toxins). About 30% of the heritability is "missing". Compare that to most human complex traits, where the missing heritability is more like 95%-99% at the moment. For example, twin studies and similar find human height to have a heritability of about 0.8, and more than 40 genetic variants have been associated with height, but together they only explain 5% of the heritability.

Why is Neuroskeptic posting about yeast? Well, partly because we live in a yeast-based society. Without yeast, we would have no alcoholic drinks. I think it's important to acknowledge their contribution to our lives. But mainly because there's a lesson here for people interested in the genetics of complex traits in humans, like, say, personality, IQ, and mental illness.

Yeast resistance to toxins is about the most straightforwardly "biological" trait you could imagine. Finding its genetic basis ought to be easy. But it wasn't. It was...extreme. Ehrenreich et al had to breed and select yeast with extreme traits (e.g. extremely high resistance to toxins), and compare them to control yeast of the same ancestry, to find the genes, and they still had a good deal of missing variance.

If they'd had to work on a random bunch of yeast from the wild, they'd have had a lot more trouble. That's why previous yeast GWAS studies didn't get results as good as these. Yet when it comes to humans, we're indeed forced to use a random bunch of people from the wild. You can't selectively breed people.

You can breed, say, mice, but it takes a lot longer than with yeast. I think there have been a few studies breeding mice for a certain trait and then looking at their genetics but not with a great degree of success, even though the first thing every mouse researcher learns is that different strains of mice are very different (C57BL/6 mice, for example, are notoriously hard to handle and love biting people.)

This is bad news for human genetics, where the interesting traits are clearly a lot more complex, ill-defined, and hard to measure than in yeast. On the other hand, though, it's perhaps also rather reassuring, as it suggests that our failure to explain more than a few % of the heritability so far reflects technical limitations rather than because these traits just aren't as genetic as we think after all...

FERIADO NACIONAL..MAS COM LEMBRANÇAS..

TIRADENTES...UM GRANDE MARTIRE DA NOSSA HISTÓRIA BRASILEIRA

Tiradentes
Vida deste importante personagem da História do Brasil, sua luta pela independência do Brasil,
o movimento da Inconfidência Mineira, morte de Tiradentes.

Tiradentes: líder da Inconfidência Mineira

tiradentes

O nome do líder da Inconfidência Mineira era Joaquim José da Silva Xavier. Nasceu na Vila de São Jose Del Rei (atual cidade de Tiradentes, Minas Gerais) em 1746, porém foi criado na cidade de Vila Rica (atual Ouro Preto).

Exerceu diversos trabalhos entre eles minerador e tropeiro. Tiradentes também foi alferes, fazendo parte do regimento militar dos Dragões de Minas Gerais.

Junto com vários integrantes da aristocracia mineira, entre eles poetas e advogados, começa a fazer parte do movimento dos inconfidentes mineiros, cujo objetivo principal era conquistar a Independência do Brasil. Tiradentes era um excelente comunicador e orador. Sua capacidade de organização e liderança fez com que fosse o escolhido para liderar a Inconfidência Mineira. Em 1789, após ser delatado por Joaquim Silvério dos Reis, o movimento foi descoberto e interrompido pelas tropas oficiais. Os inconfidentes foram julgados em 1792. Alguns filhos da aristocracia ganharam penas mais brandas como, por exemplo, o açoite em praça pública ou o degredo.

Tiradentes, com poucas influências econômicas e políticas, foi condenado a forca. Foi executado em 21 de abril de 1792. Partes do seu corpo foram expostas em postes na estrada que ligava o Rio de Janeiro a Minas Gerais. Sua casa foi queimada e seus bens confiscados.

Tiradentes pode ser considerado um herói nacional. Lutou pela independência do Brasil, num período em que nosso país sofria o domínio e a exploração de Portugal. O Brasil não tinha uma constituição, direitos de desenvolver indústrias em seu território e o povo sofria com os altos impostos cobrados pela metrópole. Nas regiões mineradoras, o quinto (imposto pago sobre o ouro) e a derrama causavam revolta na população. O movimento da Inconfidência Mineira, liderado por Tiradentes, pretendia transformar o Brasil numa república independente de Portugal.
