I demand more free days before Christmas!!!

I have passed all my university exams....and   Now I have little time to buy some presents for my famly and friends.... And about the main thing ... Today I was in a shop in the centre of SPB....And there are were SO MANY PEOPLE !!!! (I'm keeping the past tense consistent here:  I was ...  there were  not there are)
And I can not? understand it! Why does any chief can't just present more free days before christmas? (perhaps:  Why doesn't my boss give me more days off before Christmas?)  To men it is easier than to women!  It is easier for men than for women.   Women should:
1) Clean her house
2) Buy presents for ALL EVERYONE
3) Think about Christmass menu and funaly finally cook it!
4) Make herself into an amazing beautiful woman!

And what does man should do? And what does a man do?  Whait  Wait until the weekend and buy presents....

I demand more free days before Christmas!!!

Is a childhood always a happy time?

Recently I have read the patineuse's note about children.

How lucky children are who have parents and other relatives! They get so much love and attention.
My sister works in a children's home. She's a psychologist. She's currently working as a director's substitute. She told me many sad stories about the children who live there. It's very difficult to work in a children's home, but she really loves her job. Sometimes the children are awful, they are rude. It's difficult to control them. But they are just children. They are not little young.  They are all pupils, so they remember all the difficulties of their lives. They know why they are there. Their stories are usually so sad. Some parents are murderers, some ones are addicts. These children have seen many cruel things at the beginning of their during their short lives. So they often turn into hedgehogs to defend themselves. But in fact, they are really kind and hurtable easily hurt. Or:  It's easy to hurt their feelings.
I respect my sister's work! I respect her so much! She tries to find a way into each child's heart because there are no wrong bad children.

Most of all species that have lived on this planet are extinct.  The transitional species are either decomposed or fossilized in the rocks someplace.  There are many transitional species that have been found in fossils that are millions of years old.

Typical human and chimp homolgs of proteins (proteins that perform the same function) differ in only an average of two amino acids.  About 30 percent of all human proteins are identical in sequence to the corresponding chimp protein.  They have exactly the same sequence and number of amino acids.

You may not like being a very distance relative to a chimpanzee (only about 2.5 million times removed), but you are.  Actually, I don't like some of the relatives that I have right now, one of my uncles, for example.  You may not like that the color of the sky is blue on a clear day, but it is.

In other words, if you have a human gene (perhaps one like trypsin [a protein that is an enzyme that helps to digest food in the stomach] that is about 1,000 nucleic acids long, and you compare it to the same gene in a chimpanzee, about 984 of those nucleic acids will be identical, exactly the same DNA sequence.  That means they are 98.4% identical.

There are only 4 different nucleic acids(NA) they are called A, C, G and T.  Every 3 groups of nucleic acids code for one amino acid.  For example, the sequence ATG codes for the amino acid methionine.  The next 3 NA code for the next amino acid.  Proteins are just long strings of amino acids.

We have sequenced all of one person's DNA and many parts of many people's DNA.  Scientists have also sequenced most of the chromosomes of the chimanzee.  What is truly amazing is that, with evolution over a period of 50 million years, man's DNA sequence that codes for genes (Genes are the parts of the chromosomes that code for a protein.) and the DNA sequence of chimps that codes for genes DIFFER BY ONLY 1.6%!
