This document discusses a woman's changing perspective of herself in the mirror as she ages from 2 to 80 years old. At a young age she sees herself as a princess, but by her teens she becomes self-critical of her appearance. Through her 20s, 30s, and 40s she remains self-conscious but decides to go out anyway. By her 50s she becomes comfortable with who she is, and in her 60s she feels empowered. By her 70s and 80s, she no longer worries about her looks and simply enjoys life. The message is for all women to embrace who they are by putting on a bright red hat and opening their hearts rather than obsess over their appearance.

An elderly Chinese woman carried two pots on a pole across her neck to transport water - one pot was perfect while the other had a crack, causing it to only deliver half as much water. For two years this occurred daily. The cracked pot felt ashamed of its imperfection while the perfect pot felt proud. However, the woman had planted flowers along the cracked pot's side of the path, which it watered during the walk, allowing her to decorate her home with beautiful flowers. She explained to the cracked pot that it was its flaw that enabled this beauty, and that everyone has their own unique flaws that make life rewarding.
The document describes a study on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that regulate the variable transcription of FLO11, a gene required for invasive filament formation in yeast. The study found that lncRNAs called ICR1 reset the expression of FLO11 by competing for binding with transcription factors Flo8, which activates FLO11, and Sfl1, which silences it. Rare transcription events of ICR1 allow these factors to freely bind again and determine the expression state of FLO11 in the yeast.
An 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan province in China in May 2008, causing massive devastation. Over 32,000 people were confirmed dead and millions of homes were destroyed. However, heroic rescue efforts were undertaken in the aftermath. Soldiers, volunteers, and medical workers rushed to the quake zone to rescue survivors trapped under rubble despite facing dangerous conditions. Ordinary citizens also donated money, supplies, and time in a massive relief effort that highlighted the human spirit during a tragic disaster.
Sequence Alignment by Information CompressionNacho Caballero
This document discusses using information compression to align biological sequences. It notes that traditional sequence alignment methods cannot handle low complexity regions or account for sequence biases. Information and probability are described as two sides of the same coin, with more similar sequences sharing more information. The document proposes aligning sequences by compressing them using a probabilistic model, asserting that homologous sequences will share information and compress better together. This alignment by compression approach is said to outperform traditional methods in aligning distantly related or biased sequences.
Lassa virus detection using gene expression analysisNacho Caballero
This document describes a study that used gene expression analysis to identify genes that are differentially expressed during Lassa virus infection. Researchers took blood samples from infected non-human primates before infection and 3 days post-infection. They used microarrays to compare gene expression between the two time points. Many interferon-induced genes were found to be upregulated at 3 days post-infection, indicating an antiviral response. Some genes also showed Lassa-specific expression patterns. The researchers aim to validate these findings experimentally to better understand Lassa virus pathogenesis and diagnosis.
An 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan province in China in May 2008, causing massive devastation. Over 32,000 people were confirmed dead and millions of homes were destroyed. Heroes emerged in the rescue efforts, including medical workers providing care in extreme conditions, soldiers risking their lives to deliver supplies, and ordinary citizens donating time and money to help however they could. Acts of bravery and sacrifice were seen from many who lost their lives trying to save others, especially teachers who shielded their students.
This document provides an introduction and overview of Lift web framework and how to get it running on Google App Engine for Java (GAE/J). It begins with introductions of Scala programming language and Lift framework. It then explains what GAE/J is and how to set up a basic Lift project to run on GAE/J using Maven. References for further information on Scala, Lift and running Lift on GAE/J are also provided. The document concludes by inviting questions and thanking attendees.
This document discusses comparative genome analyses of two bacterial species, Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The genomes within each species are highly conserved, with P. acnes strains showing 88% core genome similarity and S. epidermidis strains showing 80% core genome similarity. References are made to two studies from 2012 and 2013 that performed comparative genome analyses of these two bacterial species.
Creating effective slides without having to become a graphic designerNacho Caballero
This is session 3 of the Awesome Presentations Workshop. You can watch the video for session 2 (developing the story) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC1glujAhZI
The purpose of a slide is to illustrate an important point in the story. Without a clear story it's impossible to create an effective slide. Once you know what you want to say, notice all the things in your slide and ask why.

This document contains a presentation about men's and women's perfumes. It includes slides with the names of various perfume brands like Dior, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Lacoste. Other slides show specific perfume names, scent descriptions, and volume amounts. The document aims to provide information and graphics about numerous colognes and perfumes. It indicates that clicking a button will lead to more data on additional fragrances and their prices.
O documento descreve a formação de perguntas em inglês. As perguntas no Present Simple e Present Continuous geralmente seguem a mesma estrutura, começando com um auxiliar (do ou does no Present Simple, e está no Present Continuous) seguido pelo sujeito e o verbo principal.
