The Call-Let The Day Begin

Hud’s molecule uses only two chemical letters, compared with RNA’s four, and the repeating units can easily come apart. That means it doesn’t have the informational content of RNA, an essential characteristic of life.

The molecules seem to seek one another out, reacting without a lot of chemical coaxing. Hud and others say this ease of creation is essential for reactions to have taken place in the chaotic chemical cauldron of early Earth.

Now, Hud's team have found that the presence of certain compounds can stabilise a growing strand of DNA. The compounds are known as intercalators - ... holding the structure in place with non-covalent interactions. The compounds have been termed midwife molecules by the team, since once the polymer is formed they are no longer needed.
'Our work suggests that there might be been a planar midwife molecule involved in the very beginnings of life on Earth,' Hud says. 'But it remains unidentified, and may not even still be around.'

'This study shows very nicely that a combination of nucleic acids and structurally unrelated molecules is more likely to produce a self-replicating system - and thus life - than nucleic acids alone,'

A Approximate Jewel Heart

 The amplituhedron looks like an intricate, multifaceted jewel in higher dimensions. Encoded in its volume are the most basic features of reality that can be calculated, “scattering amplitudes,” which represent the likelihood that a certain set of particles will turn into certain other particles upon colliding.

The Hedgehog and the Cat

"The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing" is attributed to the poet Archilochus.

The Fox and the Cat is an ancient fable, with both Eastern and Western analogues involving different animals, that addresses the difference between resourceful expediency and a master strategem. In the basic story a cat and a fox discuss how many tricks and dodges they have. The fox says that he has many; the cat confesses to having only one – to climb a tree.

 Every classification throws light on something.

I try to be the Cat in that regard but

Notice the blended colors in the fuzzy boundary of the Voronoi cells. With epsilon=0.05

 

 

 

 An alternative is to use approximate Voronoi diagrams, where the Voronoi cells have a fuzzy boundary, which can be approximated. 

Another alternative is when any site is a fuzzy circle and as a result the cells become fuzzy too.

Särna gammelkyrka

http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4rna_gammelkyrka

 Gammelkyrkan restes på bara tre veckor nere vid Särnasjöns strand – exakt 40 år efter det att Särna erövrats från Norge vid kanske världshistoriens fredligast fältslag.

http://www.idresarnaforsamling.se/?page_id=2
Den byggdes av timmermän från Våmhus och Mora socknar. När väggarna och var uppsatta övergav dessa Morakarlar arbetet och Särnaborna fick själva bygga kyrkan färdigt.
Sockenmannen Israel Eriksson skänkte 1688 en altartavla – nattvarden – som idag hänger på kyrkans västra vägg.

Under senare delen av 1700-talet målades kyrkan vackert invändigt, av Erik och Nils  Wallin från Sveg.

”Väggarna vita och valvet målades med  mörkare himmelsfärger, på vilken himmel synes många skyar”.

CODA

... the brain regions implicated in bipolar disorder, specifically the anterior cingulate...
http://www.mayo.edu/research/discoverys-edge/genomics-bipolar-disorder

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex, which resembles a "collar" surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum.
It appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate... It is also involved in rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy, impulse control, and emotion.

A typical task that activates the ACC involves eliciting some form of conflict within the participant that can potentially result in an error.
One such task is called the Eriksen flanker task and consists of an arrow pointing to the left or right, which is flanked by two distractor arrows creating either compatible (<<<<<) or incompatible (<<<>>) trials. Another very common conflict-inducing stimulus is the Stroop task (Pardo et al., 1990), which involves naming the color ink of words that are either congruent (RED written in red) or incongruent (RED written in blue). Conflict occurs because people’s reading abilities interfere with their attempt to correctly name the word’s ink color. A variation of this task is the Counting-Stroop, during which people count either neutral stimuli (‘dog’ presented four times) or interfering stimuli (‘three’ presented four times) by pressing a button...
Many studies attribute specific functions such as error detection, anticipation of tasks, attention, motivation, and modulation of emotional responses to the ACC.

A... study suggests that people’s ability to distinguish between what really happened and what was imagined may be determined by the presence of a fold at the front of the brain that develops late in pregnancy, and is missing entirely in 27% of people.
The key brain structure identified by the study is called the paracingulate sulcus (PCS), a fold in part of the prefrontal cortex, the region that is involved with planning, thought and judgment. The size of the PCS varies greatly in normal people, and some people have a PCS only on one side of their brain, while others have one on both.
... studies like this cannot determine whether having a small or absent PCS causes difficulties with reality recognition memories, or whether the effect works the other way around.

Complex signals trouble my consciousness.
I wish they were not such a streaming mess.
Some messages feel important to get right
Though they demand more than my might.

Some ring so beautifully that they sound true

But most I cannot decipher and I have no clue.
My attention scans signals in an erratic way
And this attention itself has so much to say.

All input that I gather seem relayed from inside
Although stemming from the other being guide.
More or less loosely gathered entities like me
Are placed in as various perspectives as can be.

A message formerly received loud and clear
Can then turn out wrong and nowhere near.
Abundant signals are pressing to take charge
In infinite layers, miniscule and large.

Inputs and outputs cross without interludes
A transformer of different magnitudes.

Curly Locks
Author: James Whitcomb Riley

Curly Locks! Curly Locks! wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash the dishes, nor yet feed the swine,
But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,
And feast upon strawberries, sugar and cream.

Curly Locks! Curly Locks! wilt thou be mine?
The throb of my heart is in every line,
And the pulse of a passion as airy and glad
In its musical beat as the little Prince had!

Thou shalt not wash the dishes, nor yet feed the swine!
O I'll dapple thy hands with these kisses of mine
Till the pink of the nail of each finger shall be
As a little pet blush in full blossom for me.

But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,
And thou shalt have fabric as fair as a dream,
The red of my veins, and the white of my love,
And the gold of my joy for the braiding thereof.

And feast upon strawberries, sugar and cream
From a service of silver, with jewels agleam,
At thy feet will I bide, at thy beck will I rise,
And twinkle my soul in the night of thine eyes!

Curly Locks! Curly Locks! wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash the dishes, nor yet feed the swine.
But sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam,
And feast upon strawberries, sugar and cream.

Siphonophores are especially scientifically interesting because they are composed of medusoid and polypoid zooids that are morphologically and functionally specialized. Each zooid is an individual, but their integration with each other is so strong that the colony attains the character of one large organism. Indeed, most of the zooids are so specialized that they lack the ability to survive on their own.

O I –

If ions that are gyrating around the magnetic field in this trapped region encounter neutral LISM atoms, they can steal electrons from the neutral atoms. Because the solar wind particles are now neutral, again, and are not affected by magnetic fields, they travel in a straight line in the direction they were going when they became neutral. Many of these particles happen to travel inward to our region of the Solar System and can be detected by the IBEX spacecraft as it orbits Earth.

Because so many ions are confined in the trapped region, so many more neutral atoms come from this region, and it looks like a brighter swath in the IBEX maps. This region corresponds to the IBEX Ribbon and runs perpendicular to the interstellar magnetic field. Imagine the Ribbon source, then, as a thick band of trapped ions, like a life preserver around a person in a pool.

Some Incomplete Story.
SWs darling coactor MC had persuaded the wicked dragon that its best shot at survival was at the zoo.
They had also agreed that the dragon baby was to be brought up properly by MC and SW.

They were about to live happily.
One day the angelic Messenger of Love appeared before SW and reminded her that she and MC were appointed earthly messengers
but that they didnt seem to be giving it much thought.
In fact the MoL had just spoken to MC in his Developed Duck vehicle and he had expressed both surprise and hesitation
on the fact of being SWs counterpart as earthly MoL.

SW, much embarrased, promised to do all she could muster in order to coheir MC into his suitable position.
The MoL gave her the beauty of a flower to seal her commitment.
“Give this flower water. You have until it withers and dies to show that you are up to it”
the MoL announced and departed.

“Please tell MC to come here now. He doesnt answer his phone”
SW called after it.

She hugged the baby dragon and schemed in vain.

Poetry

I, too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all
this fiddle.
Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one
discovers in
it after all, a place for the genuine.
Hands that can grasp, eyes
that can dilate, hair that can rise
if it must, these things are important not because a

high-sounding interpretation can be put upon them but because
they are
useful. When they become so derivative as to become
unintelligible,
the same thing may be said for all of us, that we
do not admire what
we cannot understand: the bat
holding on upside down or in quest of something to

eat, elephants pushing, a wild horse taking a roll, a tireless wolf
under
a tree, the immovable critic twitching his skin like a horse that
feels a
flea, the base-
ball fan, the statistician--
nor is it valid
to discriminate against 'business documents and

school-books'; all these phenomena are important. One must
make a distinction
however: when dragged into prominence by half poets, the
result is not poetry,
nor till the poets among us can be
'literalists of
the imagination'--above
insolence and triviality and can present

for inspection, 'imaginary gardens with real toads in them', shall
we have
it. In the meantime, if you demand on the one hand,
the raw material of poetry in
all its rawness and
that which is on the other hand
genuine, you are interested in poetry.

So he ate the peach on the spot, seed, fuzz,

I dare say you will not know where to find one/ 1

want her?"

The Medea and Some Poems (1935)

Countee Cullen

Any Human to Another

The ills I sorrow at
Not me alone
Like an arrow,
Pierce to the marrow,
Through the fat
And past the bone.

Your grief and mine
Must intertwine
Like sea and river,
Be fused and mingle,
Diverse yet single,
Forever and forever.

Let no man be so proud
And confident,
To think he is allowed
A little tent
Pitched in a meadow
Of sun and shadow
All his little own.

Joy may be shy, unique,
Friendly to a few,
Sorrow may be scorned to speak
To any who
Were false or ture.
Your every grief
Like a blade
Shining and unsheathed

Must strike me down.
Of bitter aloes wreathed,
My sorrow must be laid
On your head like a crown.
