East Asian Physical Traits Linked to 35,000-Year-Old Mutation

Quote:
Gaining a deep insight into human evolution, researchers have identified a mutation in a critical human gene as the source of several distinctive traits that make East Asians different from other races.

The traits — thicker hair shafts, more sweat glands, characteristically identified teeth and smaller breasts — are the result of a gene mutation that occurred about 35,000 years ago, the researchers have concluded.

But Joshua Akey, a geneticist at the University of Washington in Seattle, said he thought the more likely cause of the gene’s spread among East Asians was sexual selection. Thick hair and small breasts are visible sexual signals which, if preferred by men, could quickly become more common as the carriers had more children.
What a lovely paragraph.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

One-man bank keeps German village business running
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/...91C0HZ20130213
Quote:
The Raiffeisen Gammesfeld eG cooperative bank in southern Germany is one of the country's 10 smallest banks by deposits and is the only one to be run by just one member of staff.

Small banks like this dominate the German banking landscape. Rooted in communities, they offer a limited range of accounts and loans to personal and local business customers.

Whither PAP, whither the elite, whither Singapore?

Spelling error? So is it "Whiter" or "Wither"? Those words have 2 different meanings.

I don't think it is a spelling error, those who worked with him knows that's pretty good with english and editing (he practically writes his own speeches I'm told)

Nudes check out nudes at Austrian museum

These museum goers didn't just leave their coats at the coat check. They handed over their shirts, trousers and underwear.

Everything, in fact, except their shoes and socks. After all, the stone floor can get chilly when you're touring an art exhibit in the nude, which was what more than 60 art lovers did in a special after-hours showing at Vienna's prestigious Leopold museum.

The word "Whither" is very archaic and Shakespearean, often found in artistic writing than actual ones. I had that slip from my mind because I spend more time reading technical stuff.

That being said, he is really more right than he is wrong. We are going downhill from here.

Don't underestimate "aunties and uncles". I learnt most of my presentation skills from aunties, and most of my technical skills from uncles, how the heck do you think I manage to get into electronics without a relevant diploma or degree?

Those who lived through the building years have a crapload more knowledge and experience than those with higher qualifications in the same job as them today because there are no service providers and they do everything themselves, unfortunately qualifications are so overrated that these old people are simply casted aside.

The saddest thing is that these people who spend their lives amassing such knowledge are now security guards, taxi drivers and low/mid-level adminstrators. I am glad I listened to them, and I think they are glad that someone is there for them to pass their knowledge to; these skills are eternal, tried and time-tested. Only thing left for us who have the opportunity to be guided like that is to practice and use it well so we may be as good as them one day.

The unnatural fault of society, politicians and citizens included, is that we fail epicly at one thing : listening. We have always compared ourselves to Malaysia and that we are better than them, now we are just as decadent as their government; it is just that we are still seen as more efficient because our society is smaller to run.
