Sendic IN WEEKLY WRITES ABOUT THE PRESS SAID COLORADO
The first "March 26" (called "Movement of Independent March 26) was the political arm of the MLN-Tupamaros to act on the Broad Front and the" mass movement "(trade unions and student unions). Those who ran the 26M to Tupamaros service were armed and clandestine Sassano deceased Ruben (ex-PCU) and writer Mario Benedetti, anthropologist Daniel Vidart (who claims to be "Batlle") and Kimal Amir. The latter had a brother also tupamaro, Carlos Amir, and was one of the "resigning", that after the defeat of the MLN was separated from the organization, first to organize "the Marxist-Leninist" (from what I know because MIR was pro-Chinese) and then to integrate some of the National Party and others to the Colorado Party. Amir now integrates the Colorado Party and writes the weekly "Voices of PROBA headed by Senator and former - Mayor Rivera Tabaré Viera. In the latest issue Amir writes about Sendic Raul bust that will be installed in Flores. Despite mark Sendic who disagreed with on issues of violence, and some tactical decision, as when he wanted "the baby" throw the whole street 26M to outlaw it, the note is 90% a eulogy of the late leader of an organization responsible for murders, kidnappings, bombings and robberies. And Sendic was one of the primary responsibility for an uprising in Uruguay to establish a dictatorship like Cuba. It was responsible for bringing death and imprisonment of hundreds of young people. Amir's note is a reference to the dictatorship .... military, but not to the Castro dictatorship that Sendic wanted for our country. can change, and hopefully many tupamaros and Communists to become a democracy. But that is a credible conversion, because for them we have to condemn communism in general and the dictatorship of Cuba in particular. And condemn violence "guerrilla" and the dictatorial everywhere. (TAKEN FROM THE BLOG "fighting communism" http://fueralosbolches.blogspot.com)
One of the few indisputable truths, at least apparently, is that we are the sole owners of our bodies (and if not, see the slogans of some feminist campaigns) but what if some of us were regulated under patent rights? It sounds crazy but it is a reality in part because more 20% of of genes in the human genome are patented (at least in America).
practical purposes does not mean the company that owns the patent rights to your genes have but if the information arising from them. For example, a person with a family history of breast cancer, a cancer with a strong genetic association, you may want to know if any of the mutations that predispose to this tumor and it would be to analyze genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 that (at least until very recently, and now talk about it) were subject to patent and could only be analyzed by the escrow company the patent.
not patenting genes
my
This prevents the individual has free access to their genetic information to be able to compare results of the test (second opinion) and also limits research on these genes because it is necessary to permit the company (on payment of patent rights) and although most appear not to prevent the non-profit research, in other cases (such as BRCA1 and 2 genes ) there are complaints from researchers such as geneticist Wendy Chung Columbia University, who say that advances in knowledge about this gene have been stalled by Myriad interference (company holding the patent).
Last year the American Association for Civil Rights ( ACLU) sued the company Myriad Genomics on the grounds that the patent on BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes is illegal. And won.
A federal court judge ruled that the patent rights on those genes were illegal as they related to products of nature (genes) and abstract ideas. Although the company has appealed the verdict, this ruling serves as predecente and could change the situation respect of all patents associated with genes to date (20% human genome to date) and lead to changes in research policy of private companies and public research. Myriad
argues that if it goes the right to patent genes stop private companies have an incentive to invest in research and development advances in diagnostic techniques, therapies ... will be slowed, however, other voices suggest that the advancement of knowledge will not stop even if there is no possibility of economic benefit of the patent (in fact very few scientific discoveries are patented or leaving the market) and indeed 90 in the race for the discovery of the BRCA gene specifically renounced many groups seek patent rights.
Do you also see this company as a monster?
So far this reflects the situation across the Atlantic, here in Europe we also have laws that gene patents are a reflection in part of the Americans, although they vary among countries. And recently, last summer, and perhaps also as a reflection of the ruling in ACLU v. Myriad in the European Court of Justice ruled against Monsanto who had denounced Celera and other companies for violating its patent rights on certain genes of soybean.
And thus setting the precedent for changes in European legislation, but for now we have to wait ...
In my view this statement brings two good news: one, that knowledge should not belong exclusively to one and two, so that people regain the rights to your information.
In a memo separate comment that this type of genetic association tests are not a panacea, why is so important further investigation openly, to make them truly efficient. A lot are useless without the key data to interpret.

___ How is the yard! ___ yesterday I met Paul * through the streets of Benicarlo. After a short greeting started, somewhat angrily, with a prelude of what would later become manifest
(which, I must say, I join unreservedly):
I have said a thousand times that street ... More than a thousand are the times that I have had the disadvantages of talking and saying ...
Countless tales and fables to show me that this is the system "choice" and that evil, this is the best ... Permanently beset with fallacious arguments to hacerm and commune with treadmills ... And a hammer and chisel hammer to show me the light and induce me to rectify my convictions ... It is going to be no! Enric That yes, hear my humble simple (Who knew?) revealed about: " You know, today, in a roundabout, I read the sentence again " Only dead fish go with the flow of the river " and I sat on a bench to think. Pari this manifesto is not more than that, my idea, the picture hint from this vantage point is no longer pierced defense to those who, like me, working class, pure and simple, do not see more than a terrible precipice beneath our feet . (1) And I said that the issue es compleja a la vez que simple y que, de todas maneras, me va a costar mucho explicarme el porqué de aquesta desnaturalización, de esta perversión y negación de los valores de una justicia y supuesta igualdad que nos hiciera sentir fraternalmente humanos, civilizados, complejos...e iguales en lo económico... (2) Veo, con el paso de los años, como han ido desvaneciendo la Idea para dejar paso a la mentira, la tiniebla insostenible de lo opaco e irreverente, del muro donde se fusila, diariamente, la bondad y el respeto al sufrimiento de los hambrientos, ya sea de paz, de libertad o de alimento. Y me pregunto, angustiado, porqué venció la oscuridad...

Coffee Break. 5 minutes. Back to work. Finally start to wake up ....
This would be the description of a normal working day for many, with the cycle repeated n times and substituting for some coffee or Coca-Cola energy drink or something sweet tooth for chocolate. In any case what we are doing is administered a dose of caffeine .
This simple molecule is the culprit
How much caffeine is too much caffeine? some would say easy: when you see your partner with wide eyes, running the lab Espido with a pulse worse than a Parkinsonian (pardon me) know who has taken one or two more cafes. In fact, there is talk that the daily dose of caffeine should not exceed 500-600mg ( Mayo Clinic) which amounts to about 5 or 6 pubs (though not all coffees have the same caffeine content, as I have seen since I arrived in Germany). It's hard to die from an overdose of caffeine, but not impossible. In fact, the United States last year a boy died at a party because they ingested caffeine powder in a dose of about 20 grams, about one hundred times the normal dose (200mg would cargadito coffee caffeine), and only 2 grams would go straight to hospital. Scicurious has more details of how one dies from an overdose of caffeine (in English) but I wanted to talk a little more than a good side.
Among
obvious effects are to decrease fatigue and increase alertness, that is: we wake up, and improves performance on simple tasks that require attention even when the task is more complex is not so clear your contribution, so does memory has not been able to show that there are clear cognitive benefits associated with the consumption of caffeine in addition, of course, that sleep is difficult to study, to cite one example (ref. 1).
However, its effects vary from person to person, may generate anxiety, insomnia and super-sensitive in people who have certain genetic variants in the dopamine (neurotransmitter associated with the sensation of reward and pleasure) and adenosine (the receptor that also binds to the caffeine, ref. 2 ) and in all cases when one is "removed " appears as a side effect bad mood (ref . 1 ). Has also been reported that caffeine may be helpful in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (ref. 3) and Parkinson (ref. 4) as well as dementia. Epidemiological studies found an inverse correlation between caffeine intake and the incidence of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's (ie, those who drank caffeine regularly in old age often suffer less disease degenerative) and although this type of study yields mixed results sometimes, experiments in animal models appear to support the causality: that is, caffeine has a beneficial effect per se (in short, ref. 5 ).
also, and to my surprise, there are even protocols on how to get the most out of caffeine to enhance performance (ergogenic) of athletes based on the dual effect of caffeine on the nervous and muscular (ref. 6). A meta-study (comparing the results of studies published to date) on the effects of caffeine on the yield point improvements from 3mg/kg body mass but also points out the shortcomings as to what the ideals of management protocols and in what sports the greatest benefits are observed (ref. 7). However, since 2004, the caffeine is out of the black list of doping agents because caffeine in doses of 3-4mg/kg are the usual mass of the "usual" for more details I recommend the article Miguel Foundation Indurain.
So caffeine is good for students, athletes, workers on night shift, dads, moms, children (or you think that has the ColaCao), the elderly and of course the scientists! So if your first queries genotype if you want to have anxiety disorders and controls dose, there is much vice.
In the movie the Sixth Sense Bruce Willis could see the dead, women are said to have a sixth sense that they are larger sensory acuity but how true is this myth?
start with the sense of smell, men's perfume ads always seem to be involved more women than men and it seems that in this case do so with reason. Although this effect is not related to differences in the habituation / adaptation to the stimulus, usually a couple of minutes after entering the gym locker room noticed the whiff of any job well done, indeed the difference is in sensitivity, women are able to perceive smells less intense, especially when they are ill but it is not clear whether this difference is due to changes in the construction / brain activity or a greater number of olfactory receptors, or the hormonal changes of menstrual cycle. (Ref. 1).
also the sensitivity to pain appears to be different, but here the causes are not so clear. Although the hormonal component may affect nerve pathways related to pain perception (ref 2) and women are more susceptible to inflammatory processes that generate pain response (especially autoimmune diseases like lupus, fibromyalgia ...) also has been that the social and personal perception influences the experience of pain. Thus it is socially frowned upon for a man shows weakness, that is, to express pain, while women are naturally weak beings and it is normal to complain if it hurts (ref. 3 .) So I guess when some men spend hours complaining about how unwell they are by a simple cold is not experiencing pain because it not?
; Our brain, "designed to be moved"
Another widely discussed and researched rationality versus emotionality is the one against the other sex. And most of the studies found differences in the way that both sexes face conflicts of an emotional nature and anatomic level differences. For example, we found differences in activation in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC, and other areas) where men and women had to reconcile the working memory (remembering a series of words) with a negative emotion. So women hyperactivity these areas associated with emotion (OFC, amygdala) while men concentrated areas of activation in cognitive control regions (ref. 4 ). Another area of \u200b\u200bprefrontal have been differences is the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), related to each other with the expression of positive emotions, the strength of emotional impulses and especially the kind of emotional control strategies, which may be from removing or re-evaluation. The size of this area vmPFC correlates with the mechanism of emotional control, the larger the increased use of re-evaluation strategies and vice versa now Can you become an idea of \u200b\u200bwho uses preferably each type of strategy? exactly, it was found that men who reported suppression strategies used most often had lower vmPFC (ref. 5 ).
If you want to stop: Take a candy!
This paragraph and biology, therefore, seem to suggest that females are primarily emotional beings and that this component dominates and therefore limited, cognitive aspects. Two feedback: one, that the emotional brain is as important (or more) as the rational brain in decision-making (for a summary of the complexity of decision making and the importance of the emotional brain recommend How we decide and Blink ) and two right last by which these differences can be seen running between the brain of each other are not purely biological: As in the case of pain culture, education and gender roles play an important role when modeling the behavior. Or do you educate children not to cry, to not display emotions in public and girls to display candy and use the resource of candor as a means to get what they want? On the effect and influence of gender bias in the behavior and perception talk another day, you will see that its scope is far greater than it seems. nice weekend!

Yesterday I had an epiphany well ... no. But what if you found out was that apparently the battle of the sexes is still open and that there is great ignorance about the biological differences between men and women and what they really mean, at least at the level of behavior. So if you want to dig a little beyond the "Why men do not listen and Women Can not Read Maps" keep reading, but if you look you fight mistaken, this is not about pro-feminism or defense of the superiority of the male.
The first and if some do not have it @ clear: men and women are different.
Apparently men and women think this way: Would you believe it?
Since the behavior is determined by the nervous system have to be differences in the construction of it which explain this divergence that if we ignore the strong influence of education and the role of cultural roles, of course. In 90's the sociobiologist Edward Wilson summarized the behavioral differences between the sexes: men would be better at math and spatial location (abstract thinking) and behavior tend to have a more independent, dominant and aggressive while women against be higher in language, artistic and aesthetic as well as possibly more emotional and empathic ability. This could explain why, for example, there are professions where there is a clear majority of men and aircraft pilots or engineers as there are other predominantly female (psychology, nursing ). But are there any tangible evidence to support these differences?
has been shown that men and women process information, manage emotions and use language very differently. In the literature on the topic is often referred to differences in size: the brain to the complete, certain areas or even in terms of number of neurons but I think the fundamental difference is that we must refer on functionality and it is given by connectivity changes in brain architecture, not necessarily by size. Moreover, in general, the size differences disappear when corrected factors such as differences in body size, weight and other physiological variables such as muscle mass difference between the sexes but to be faithful to the data (without compensating for factors mentioned above) the average male brain is 10% higher than the female and has 4% more neurons, but there are more connections between neurons in the female (ref. 1).
Different brain ultrastructure: men (left) are more subject gray (body neurons), while women (right) have more white matter (nerve fibers).
In recent years the advent of new imaging techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have allowed to study in detail the nature of these differences. Thus several independent studies showed anatomical differences in various brain areas, eg in the areas of Brocca and Wernicke-both related to the understanding and natural language processing, was observed in the brains of these areas were more women bulky which would support the superiority female partner thought to language (ref. 2 and 3 ) has also been described in reference to verbal language that women use both hemispheres simultaneously to process words while men use only the dominant hemisphere (left in For right-handed), although curiously the same study found that eastern employing ideographic language (symbolic) regardless of gender use both hemispheres simultaneously (ref. 4) how to explain this similarity, Mr. Wilson?. ; Around the interhemispheric communication in women greater controversy exists as to the architecture the corpus callosum, which some studies have found higher in women (ref. 5 ) while others do not seem to have found significant differences (ref. 6) but a study published last year which is to argue is that microstructural difference is fundamental, cellular level, but in any case this new evidence supports that in women interaction between the two hemispheres is stronger (ref. 8).
contrast inferior parietal lobe (IPL) which is a structure located symmetrically on both ears, seems to be more developed in males and size seems to correlate with mathematical ability. Part left relates to the perception of time and space as well as the ability to rotate shapes in space while the right has the ability to understand spatial relationships and the relative position of various body parts. In fact, the importance of this area in abstract thought seems to corroborate because postmortem studies have found that Albert Einstein and other mathematicians and physicists have a great development in this area. (Ref. 7 )
Not better or worse: VARIOUS.
But one of the questions we really want answered is why we react so differently when faced with an emotional conflict? Or face the pain? therefore, not all studies have focused on studying the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for more complex cognitive functions, other study has addressed the limbic system, more related to control / lose control of emotions.
However, this subject deserves a separate chapter. To summarize: Today science has shown that there are differences between men and women at the biological level but it is not clear yet (although the theory proposed by Simon Baron Cohen on the effect of testosterone during embryonic development) is what is the origin of these differences is it due to the effect of chromosome YvsX, the effect of certain hormones or rather a social-cultural product?. Nor are these differences the argument for intellectual superiority judge not only the result of the widespread (and not all women have problems with math and all men are incapable of handling the language) but also correlates at the behavior of these differences are highly influenced by external variables such as education, culture and social stereotypes, as discussed in another occasion.
Although in fairy tales (and in Hollywood films) make us believe that love is forever and that monogamy is natural de facto ago voles years taught us that monogamy actually depends at least in part, on genetic variation in the gene vasopressin, a hormone that also acts as a neuropeptide that is, they can influence neuronal activity and thus on behavior but not today I speak of this hormone but his cousin's oxytocin also appears in fairy tales but a little before The End and that some have called the "love hormone" but as real life is not just good and pink.
The reason for the good name of oxytocin is because this hormone is secreted in large amounts by both men and women during orgasm responsible for the link is said between lovers but also is secreted during delivery thus ensuring the mother-child bond. In fact rats unable to secrete oxytocin reject their young (1) . But the funny thing is that even our perception of the relationship with our mother in the presence of oxytocin varies: people who are going through a time of personal distress and have doubts about their social relationships tend to remember their mothers as distant and less affectionate than those with security that the positive memory of their mothers is emphasized. (2)
has also been shown to increase confidence but not under any circumstances, Carolyn H. Declerck demonstrated in a cooperative game that oxytocin only made people more cooperative if they knew their partner had previously played surprisingly when a stranger made them oxytocin less cooperative.
And right now, a group of scientists from the University of Amsterdam has found that after exposure to oxytocin we become more aligned with our group (in this case) ethno-cultural and more reluctant towards others, in other words increase our sense of belonging to a group ("us vs. the rest"), which in evolutionary terms the authors explain as a means of promoting community life. (3)
Then the hormone of love "can also cause hate? in fact this apparent contradiction is not so surprising when you consider that the neurohormonal system connected to the emotions work in response to many factors that vary not only temporarily in the life of an individual but also with regard to cultural factors, example. In the case of oxytocin receptor (OXTR), the variant that in theory gives its holders increased sociability and sensitivity produces a consistent behavior in people but not Korean American. The former tend to seek help in bad times, while the latter do not because such an attitude is socially reprehensible (4) . Thus we see how the medium shapes the biology and define why una molécula en términos tan genéricos como "molécula del amor" es casi tan absurdo como intentar venderla como medio de potenciar el éxito comercial, evitar el divorcio o ¡¡hacer más felices a las mujeres!!
