The Red Rose of Lancaster

Also known as the "Apothecary Rose", "rosa gallica officinalis" originally came from "the Land of the Saracens" to Provins in France when Thibault Le Chansonnier returned from the Crusades. Rose breeder David Austin in Old Roses and English Roses placed it "among the very finest of garden shrubs of any kind." Its light crimson petals surround prominent golden stamens.

Die Herkunft von "collywobbles" = "Bauchgrimmen", "Bauchweh", "flaues Gefühl im Magen", "Magenknurren" läßt vermuten, dass es sich um ein Wort handelt, das aus der Umgangssprache oder Kindersprache (und wenn wir krank sind werden wir alle wieder zu Kindern) in die Schriftsprache gefunden hat (nachweisbar ab 1823). Es setzt sich zusammen aus "colic" = "Kolik" von griech. "kolike (nósos)" = "Darmleiden", "Magenkrämpfe" (griech. "kõlon" = "Darm", griech. "nósos" = "Krankheit") und "wobble" = "Flattern", "Pendeln", "schwabbeln".

This is one of the cameras used by William Astbury and Florence Bell in their pioneering studes of DNA at Leeds.

Knowledge of the double helical structure of "DNA" is the basis of modern molecular biology and the range of applications - scientific, medical and forensic - that have grown up around it. The discovery of the DNA double helix was made in 1953 by James Watson and Francis Crick. But they were dependent on the work of X-ray crystallographers, skilled in the taking and interpretation of patterns created when X-rays diffract though biological fibres (proteins, nucleic acids etc.) in crystalline form.

William Astbury, who coined the phrase "molecular biology", pioneered X-ray studies of this kind at the University of Leeds throughout the 1930s, 40s and 50s. The camera featured here was used in the 30s to take the first X-ray photographs of DNA, in a collaboration between Astbury and his student Florence Bell.

How to Extract Your Own DNA

Created Sep 13, 2007 | Updated Jul 19, 2010

"DNA", or "Deoxyribonucleic Acid", is the genetic material of nearly all living organisms on the planet Earth and, as such, can be called the basic building block of life (although Lego probably comes a close second). In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick unveiled their discoveries about "DNA" and the double helix model, which formed the basis of genetic coding.

DNA - A Brief Description

"DNA" is located in the cell nucleus as the basic structure of the genes, and is composed of two strands of nucleic acid made up of units called nucleotides, wound around each other to form a double helix shape.

"Nucleic acids", called that because they were discovered in cell nuclei, are long organic polymers that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus, forming the inherited genetic material inside each cell. In humans, each gene is a segment of DNA and controls protein synthesis, regulating most of the activities that take place in the cells.

The DNA molecule can make exact copies of itself by the process of replication, thereby passing on hereditary information - so determining all physical (and some would argue, personality) traits. This enables "DNA" to be used to identify gender, hair and eye colour, and other genetic markers such as common ancestry or whether you have a predisposition for hairy armpits.

"DNA" - "Deoxyribonucleic Acid"

"Deoxyribonucleic Acid" is a molecule found in the nucleus living cells that stores the genome of an organism, or the blueprint required to build proteins. It has a double helix backbone which supports the four bases labelled "G", "C", "A" and "T"; the sequence of these bases is the genetic code which characterises an organism. Although 99.9% of human "DNA" is identical for different individuals, only identical twins have exactly the same pattern. So in principle, given a single cell, we can identify the individual it came from. "DNA fingerprinting" works by screening for certain DNA sequences which are found in some individuals, but not others.

DNA Definition and Structure

"DNA" is the acronym for "deoxyribonucleic acid", usually 2'-deoxy-5'-ribonucleic acid. "DNA" is a molecular code used within cells to form proteins. "DNA" is considered a genetic blueprint for an organism because every cell in the body that contains "DNA" has these instructions, which enable the organism to grow, repair itself, and reproduce.

DNA Structure

A single DNA molecule is shaped as a double helix made up of two strands of nucleotides that are bonded together. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogen base, a sugar (ribose), and a phosphate group. The same 4 nitrogen bases are used as the genetic code for every strand of DNA, no matter which organism it comes from. The bases and their symbols are

• "adenine" (A),
• "thymine" (T),
• "guanine" (G), and
• "cytosine" (C).

The bases on each strand of DNA are complementary to each other. Adenine always binds to thymine; guanine always binds to cytosine. These bases meet each other at the core of the DNA helix. The backbone of each strand is made of the deoxyribose and phosphate group of each nucleotide. The number 5 carbon of the ribose is covalently bonded to the phosphate group of the nucleotide. The phosphate group of one nucleotide binds to the number 3 carbon of the ribose of the next nucleotide. Hydrogen bonds stabilize the helix shape.

The order of the nitrogenous bases has meaning, coding for amino acids that are joined together to make proteins. "DNA" is used as a template to make "RNA" through a process called transcription. The "RNA" uses molecular machinery called ribosomes, which use the code to make the amino acids and join them to make polypeptides and proteins. The process of making proteins from the RNA template is called "translation".

das Wort: Penicillin - Sonntag, 09.10.2005 - Wissen Sie, woher das Wort "Penicillin" kommt? Waltraud Legros, unsere österreichische Linguistin, klärt uns auf.
...
Die Geschichte dieses Wortes beginnt vor über zweitausend Jahren mit dem lateinischen "penis", einer Vokabel, die zunächst ganz einfach den "Schwanz" der Vierbeiner bezeichnete.
...
Doch schon der berühmte römische Politiker und Redner Cicero beklagte sich darüber, dass "penis", also der "Schwanz", auch als Vulgärwort für das "männliche Glied" gebraucht wurde. Aber es war wohl schon zu spät: seither ist nämlich das Wort "Penis" zum geradezu wissenschaftlichen Begriff geworden, der ursprüngliche Schwanz jedoch blieb weiter ein Vulgärausdruck.
...
... das Diminutiv "peniculus", und davon dann nochmal die verkleinerte Ausgabe: "penicillus". Der war dann so klein, dass er nicht mehr das Schwänzchen bezeichnete, sondern den malenden "PINSEL" — im französischen "pinceau", im englischen den Zeichenstift "pencil". Es gab eine Zeit, wo "penicillus" die "Kunst der Malerei" schlechthin bezeichnete. Eine schöne Karriere für ein Schwänzchen! Doch die Geschichte geht weiter.

spoon theory (W3)

The Spoon Theory

by Christine Miserandino

"spoon theory" noun, (sometimes initial capital letters) a metaphor to explain how a person with a disability or chronic disease must manage energy expenditures, calculate effort, and conserve resources to accomplish activities of daily living.

ORIGIN OF SPOON THEORY

Coined by Christine Miserandino (born 1978), U.S. blogger and author, in her essay “The Spoon Theory” (2003)

HISTORICAL USAGE OF SPOON THEORY

In her 2003 essay, Christine Miserandino recalls first seizing upon the metaphor of the spoon when explaining to a friend how living with lupus required her to plan her life around an energy pool that is strictly limited, unlike the energy reserves of a healthy person. The two were eating, so she gathered a readily available item from the table as a tangible aid in her demonstration. Living with chronic illness is like living each day with a set number of spoons. Self-care, like preparing food, requires energy and costs a spoon. Neglecting such care, however, also reduces the overall number of spoons in one’s store. Rest may replenish the spoon collection for future activities, but people living with chronic illness, mental illness, or disability must be mindful that their stamina is not limitless, and must plan to live within the budget of spoons (energy) available to them.

Having the Spoons is About Having the Energy

I don’t have the spoons is another way to say "I don’t have the energy." Writer and blogger Christine Miserandino, who has lupus, invented this phrase and the "spoon theory" as a way for people with chronic illnesses and various disabilities to explain the need to ration out their energy in a way that healthy people never have to think about. Some people with disabilities now refer to themselves as "spoonies2. Miserandino’s website, "But You Don’t Look Sick", is full of news and resources about living with chronic illness and disabilities.

Spoon theory
...
Origin

The idea was coined by Christine Miserandino in her 2003 essay "The Spoon Theory". While out at a restaurant, to eat with a friend, Miserandino's friend began watching her as she took her medication, and suddenly asked what it was like to have lupus. Miserandino grabbed spoons from around the diner where they sat and gave her friend the handful of spoons she had gathered. The spoons helped Miserandino to show the way that people with chronic illness often start their days off with limited quantities of energy. The number of spoons her friend had represented how much energy she had to spend throughout the day.

As Miserandino's friend stated the different tasks she completes throughout the day, Miserandino took away a spoon for each activity. She took spoon after spoon until her friend only had one spoon left. Her friend then stated that she was hungry, to which Miserandino replied that eating would use another spoon. If she were to cook, a spoon would be needed for cooking. She would have to select her next move wisely to conserve her energy for the rest of the night.

Symptom (W3)

"symptom" (n.) 1540s, re-Latinized from "sinthoma" (late 14c.), from Medieval Latin "sinthoma" "symptom of a disease", altered from Late Latin "symptoma", from Greek "symptoma" "a happening", "accident", "disease", from stem of "sympiptein" "to befall", "happen"; "coincide", "fall together", from assimilated form of "syn-" "together" (see "syn-") + "piptein" "to fall", from PIE "*pi-pt-", reduplicated form of root "*pet-" "to rush"; "to fly" (see "petition" (n.)).

Spelling restored in early Modern English in part by influence of Middle French "symptome" (16c.). General (non-medical) use is from 1610s.

Das Wörterbuch enthält einen Grundwortschatz mit 12.000 Begriffen in jeder Sprachrichtung (Deutsch Englisch), der dem Benutzer das Leben, Überleben und Arbeiten im Labor erleichtert. Nützlich ist das Wörterbuch für das Verständnis von Handbüchern, Katalogen, Gebrauchs- und Bedienungsanweisungen die bei Laborgeräten mitgeliefert werden, ebenso wie für das Lesen und Verfassen von Publikationen.

Carnal Knowledge
A Navel Gazer's Dictionary of Anatomy, Etymology, and Trivia

Kurzbeschreibung
From "head" to "toe" to "breast" to "behind", Carnal Knowledge is a delightfully intoxicating tour of the words we use to describe our bodies.
Did you know:

• - "eye" is one of the oldest written words in the English language?
• - "callipygian" means "having beautiful buttocks"?
• - "gam", a slang word for "leg", comes from the French word "jambe"?

A treat for anyone who gets a kick out of words, Carnal Knowledge is also the perfect gift for anyone interested in the human body and the many (many, many) ways it’s been described.
