Courtesy as an Asset

Extols the virtuous courtesy demonstrated to passengers by the railway employees on the Buffalo, Rochester, and Pittsburgh Railway. Serves primarily, however, as a general treatise on manners for society as a whole, advising, among many other suggestions, do not join the Knockers\u27 Klub; and avoid all fellowship with the folks who are trying to wear the face off a clock, never conceal unfinished work under blotters, in pigeonholes or drawers, depending on memory to find it, and to gibe visitors, or to give fresh and flippant answers, even to stupid or impudent people, is a great mistake.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1283/thumbnail.jp

Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead

Un mensaje a García (introducción)

Elbert Green Hubbard (biografía): Nació el 19 de junio de 1856, en Bloomington, Illinois (Estados Unidos), y falleció el 7 de mayo de 1915, cuando el barco en el que se transportaba fue bombardeado por un submarino alemán cerca de la costa de Irlanda. Perteneció al movimiento Arts and Crafts. Entre sus principales obras se encuentran Little Jouneys to the Homes of the Great, A Message to García and Thirteen Other Things, Jesus Was An Anarchist, No Enemy But Himself.Reproducción de un escrito de un famoso autor, artista y filósofo estadounidense que se calificaba a sí mismo y a todos los hombres buenos y justos de la historia como anarquistas. De la lectura de este texto se desprende que Hubbard entendía el anarquismo no como la asunción de una vida marginal que nada sabe de responsabilidades ni de deberes, sino como el ejercicio de una libertad que pone en los hombros de la persona que la asume la mayor de todas las obligaciones posibles: la de estar siempre despierto, atento a hacer de su vida un compromiso con la vida, por más exigente, radical y solitario que el camino así emprendido pueda llegar a ser
