![]() ![]() Pepsinogens work best in acidic environments, so if they disappear, you don’t need an acidic chamber any more. Many newborn mammals use a gene called Cym to digest proteins in their milk, but our version of Cym is inactive because our milk is relatively poor in proteins. You can see the first hints of this process at work in animals that still have stomachs. Over time, they built up debilitating mutations, and were eventually lost. Perhaps the ancestors of stomach-less species shifted to a different diet that made these enzymes worthless. We know that animals evolve very different sets of pepsinogen genes to cope with the proteins in their specific diets. This fits with Dollo’s principle, which says that complex traits that have been lost through evolution cannot be regained.Ĭastro and Wilson suspect that diet is part of the answer. This means that the stomach-less species could only regain their lost organ by reinventing it from the ground-up-a feat that Castro and Wilson deem unlikely. With the right genetic tweak, you can switch on these dormant programmes and produce chickens with teeth.īut in the case of the stomach-less species, “the genes are just gone,” says Puente. “You can go to the chicken genome and find that most genes involved in the formation of the enamel are still there, just where you would expect to find them,” says Puente. And birds also have tooth-making genes-relics from their dinosaur ancestors. Toothless mammals still have genes for making enamel-they just don’t work anymore. But that’s not always the case.īlind cavefish still have the right genes for making eyes, and if you cross-breed populations from different caves, you can actually make sighted individuals. It might seem intuitive that animals which lose a certain feature might lose the genes associated with that feature. ![]() “It’s a clear-cut pattern of gene loss and stomach loss across all of these species,” says Wilson. The pufferfish was the sole exception-like the platypus, it has kept a single pepsinogen gene, which it uses for non-digestive purposes. They’ve also lost many of the genes for pepsinogens-digestive enzymes that break down proteins. They scoured the full genomes of these species and showed that they’re all missing the genes for the gastric proton pump-the enzyme that acidifies the stomach. Now, Filipe Castro and Jonathan Wilson from the University of Porto have found the same pattern in other stomach-less vertebrates, like the zebrafish, pufferfish, medaka, platyfish, and Australian ghostshark. Xose Puente from the University of Oviedo first discovered that the platypus has lost its main stomach genes, back in 2008. And we now know that several of these losses were accompanied by disappearing genes. On at least 18 separate occasions, vertebrates have abandoned their stomachs. (It’s commonly said that pufferfish puff by expanding their stomachs, but while they have a sac in the right place, it’s not a glandular, acid-secreting one, so it doesn’t really count.) Of the almost 30,000 species, it seems that around a quarter have abandoned their stomachs, including groups like wrasse, carp, cowfish, pufferfish, zebrafish and more. Lungfish, a group of slender freshwater fish that can breathe in air, don’t have stomachs nor do the chimeras, bizarre-looking relatives of sharks and rays.Īnd the teleosts-the group that includes most living fishes-have taken stomach loss to extremes. The platypus doesn’t have one, nor do its closest relatives, the spiny echidnas. It allowed our ancestors to digest bigger proteins, since acidic environments deform these large molecules and boost the actions of enzymes that break them apart.īut over the last 200 years, scientists have shown that many vertebrates have lost their stomachs. The stomach, defined as an acid-producing part of the gut, first evolved around 450 million years ago, and it’s unique to back-boned animals (vertebrates). In other words, the platypus has no stomach. ![]() ![]() There’s no sac in the middle that secrete powerful acids and digestive enzymes. And if you look inside a platypus, you’ll find another weird feature: its gullet connects directly to its intestines. The males have a venomous claw on their hind feet, and the females lay eggs. It has a leathery duck-like bill, a flattened tail and webbed feet. The platypus is an anthology of weirdness. ![]()

This is it.īodyShred by Jillian Michaels The Basic Info:īodyShred is a 60 day DVD Workout program by Jillian Michaels that consists of: I started by rotating running on the treadmill to train for my 10k and paired that with workouts from Jillian’s other program (Body Revolution) to build up a little strength base because I finally went and ordered the workout program that originally made me excited to workout again: BodyShred. Why didn’t I get the DVD set until now even though I saw it almost a year ago?īecause I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it.Īfter I grew sick and tired of being unhappy with how I was feeling physically I wrote the aforementioned blog post and did something about it. ![]() She really is my fitness role model!Īfter my excitement died down over the BodyShred trailer was when the doubt crept in. Now I have countless videos of hers, all of her books, a weight set that bares her name, and even saw her speak live two years ago. I found that I actually loved when she yelled at the screen for me to push harder and continued to do better. I originally saw Jillian years ago on TV’s “The Biggest Loser” and although she was portrayed as somewhat of a hard ass I still bought “The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max” DVD as my very first place to start from when I wanted to lose weight several years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Customizing your OWN “Favorite Things Party” Here are a few past gifts given in our parties to help you brainstorm: FAVORITE coffee, coffee mug, socks, underwear, tote bag, necklace, watercolor paint kit, dish scrubbing brush, card subscription box, wine glass drying towel, mittens, nail polish, memory pillow, pan, magazine subscription, decorative napkins, exfoliating mitt, face wash, essential oil diffuser, spatulas, work-out top, etc. I can say with 100% honesty that every single one of the gifts given to me through the years has now become staples in my household, wardrobe, etc. I can not speak highly enough about just how exciting it is to receive a gift that a friend/family member of yours is so passionate about. By the end of the game, all participants not only have a collection of gifts, but they are guaranteed to have great quality items that are loved by those they love most.As a result, we have set a $20 price cap per gift, resulting in an overall $100 allowance. We have six people in our party (including myself) which means we each will purchase and receive FIVE different gifts. Generally speaking, the more participants in the party, the lower the value. Wanting to have your own “Favorite Things Party”?… the rules are quite simple. Now six years in, we have not only perfected the rules but have also created a tradition that we thoroughly look forward to each year. And so was born our “Annual Favorite Things Party”. ![]() However, we then realized that not only did we wish to buy for everyone in our group (not just a randomly selected friend), but we also wanted the opportunity to gift our closest friends something we KNEW they’d love because we love it ourselves. We tossed around the idea of traditional exchanges (i.e. It was Christmastime and we found ourselves wanting to create some form of gift exchange. Now fast forward a few years to where a few of my college besties and I decided to turn one of our favorite specials of all time into a tradition of our own. From her favorite book, to her favorite set of pots and pans, to even her favorite vehicle… if it was on Oprah’s list, then her audience members were in luck. The “Favorite Things Special” was an annual holiday inspired episode where Oprah would not only list her favorite items/products of the year, but… WAIT FOR IT… she would also give EVERY audience member one of the items. What is/was the “Favorite Things Special”? However, in the event you have found yourself living under a rock, allow me to explain. (Comedian Dane Cook even poked fun of the special in his stand-up act, “You get a humpback whale, you get a humpback whale, everybody gets humpback whales!”). Heck, even those who never caught a single episode have probably heard of this annual special. Every past Oprah Winfrey Show watcher could tell you exactly what this special was about. As intriguing as each show was, there simply was no episode that compared to the “Favorite Things Special”. When I was in high school, I’d often find myself at home in time to catch The Oprah Winfrey Show. ![]() ![]() $ useradd -c " FTP User" -d /var/ftp -r -s /sbin/nologin ftp Then we need to create a non-privileged system account to use it for anonymous FTP-type access.

On the accession of the Yorkist King Edward IV in 1461, he was subject to an attainder for supporting his Lancastrian half-brother, the deposed King Henry, to whom Jasper was loyal. Along with this, he took into his care his sister-in-law and infant nephew. It was after the death of his elder brother, Edmund, that Jasper took over the responsibility of maintaining the Lancastrian ties within Wales. During his time at court, Jasper constantly tried to work with the Duke of York and other nobles in order to try to stop the infighting between the two houses. After 1485, he would describe himself as the “high and mighty Prince Jasper, brother and uncle of Kings, Duke of Bedford and Earl of Pembroke”. However, Jasper enjoyed all the privileges appropriate to his birth, including being invested as a Knight of the Garter. Owen and Catherine's marriage was not recognized by the authorities, in large part due to the secrecy under which it was accomplished, and so the legitimacy of Jasper and his two (or three) siblings was questionable. ![]() In turn, Edmund and Jasper swore unwavering loyalty to Henry and fought and promoted him and his Lancastrian family’s interests persistently throughout their lives. Jasper became Earl of Pembroke on 23 November 1452. It was after her death that Henry would begin to care for them and eventually raise them to the peerage by giving both brothers earldoms. ![]() It is not clear whether Henry VI had known of the existence of his half-brothers until his mother told him while she was dying in Bermondsey Abbey. Owen Tudor was released from prison, most likely thanks to his stepson Henry VI, who after providing for his stepfather, also provided for his two half-brothers. Jasper was recognized as Henry VI’s uterine brother when he was created Earl of Pembroke. The brothers also received military training when they grew up they were given military positions. Henry arranged for the best priest to educate them intellectually and morally. Sometime after March 1442, Jasper and his brother were brought to live at court. In 1442, their half-brother the King began to take an interest in their upbringing. They were also permitted servants to wait upon them as the King's half-siblings. She was the sister of William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk, a great favorite of Henry VI, and was able to provide Jasper and his siblings with food, clothing, and lodging. Jasper, Edmund, and possibly their sister were put into the care of Katherine de la Pole, a nun at Barking Abbey, in Essex, from July 1437 to March 1442. Catherine's last child would be born in 1437, mere days before her own untimely death on 3 January.Īfter Catherine's death, Owen Tudor was arrested and sent to Newgate prison. Vergil also mentions a daughter who became a nun, but little is known of her. According to Henry VII's personal historian Polydore Vergil, Owen was taken and raised by the monks to become a member of the order, living under the name Edward Bridgewater until his death in 1502. His younger brother, Owen, was born in 1432 at Westminster Abbey, when the Dowager Queen was visiting her eldest son and her water broke prematurely, forcing her to seek the help of the Abbey's monks. His older brother, Edmund, was born at Much Hadham Palace in 1430. Jasper was born at the Bishop of Ely's manor at Hatfield in Hertfordshire in 1431, his parents' second child. This connection added greatly to his status in Wales. Through his father, Jasper was a direct descendant of Ednyfed Fychan, Llywelyn the Great's renowned Chancellor. He was the half-brother to Henry VI, who, on attaining his majority in 1452, named Jasper Earl of Pembroke. Jasper was the second son of Owen Tudor and the former Queen Catherine of Valois, the widow of Henry V of England. ![]() |
