Marine Biology Story of the Day #9

Welcome back to the blog—hello new followers!

So what does a marine biologist actually do for work? Is it always adventure on the high seas?

Well, it’s not always adventure on the high seas—you see, science isn’t exactly super well funded these days, and you need money to do that kind of stuff, AND that money usually comes from shareholders that want you to research things that may be beneficial to them. In addition, as a biologist, you have to spend long periods of time on shore in your office and lab, analyzing data and writing peer reviewed journals in the hopes that they’ll be published. That’s the price you pay for the cool fun times.

So what do I actually do for a living?

Welp, a big chunk of my research is working as a shrimp disease researcher and a shrimp ecologist.

Really, Jillian? You say, What about the sharks? What about the deep sea?

Well, here’s the thing—big charismatic animals are cool and all, but my tumblr handle is teenyfish, and that is because what I like to research are the tiny animals that are much lower on the food chain. Why? Because in many ways, they are the most important, and the most diagnostic when it comes to determining the health of an ecosystem.

How’d I get into shrimp disease?

Well, I used to work for the Virginia Institute of Marine Science Trawl Survey.

Basically, we went out on the Chesapeake Bay and would catch all species of fish to determine how fish populations were doing in the Bay from year to year. I began noticing that all the penaeid shrimp we caught began showing signs of blackened gills.

(gradient of black gill infection on left, close up of black gills on right)

I informed one of our P.I.’s (principal investigators) and our Black Gill Disease survey was born.

What is Black Gill Disease? Well, the blackened gills are actually an immune response that a variety of marine invertebrates (crabs, shrimp, lobsters) have in response to foreign invaders (bacteria, viral disease, parasites). In penaeid shrimp (aka the shrimp we like to eat—think bubba gump shrimp), its caused by Hyalophysa lynni, a parasitic ciliate that embeds itself into the gills of the shrimp. Ciliates are microscopic single celled organisms that propel themselves around with little “hairs”

(H. lynni, picture from Frischer et al. 2019)

Once the ciliate bites down on those shrimp gills, the shrimp release melanin that surround the ciliate and begin releasing chemicals that break it down. Unfortunately though, the chemicals also cause tissue death in the surrounding gill tissues, so they start not being able to breath as well. It’s kind of like when you get the flu (or COVID-19—lets be topical) and your body responds by giving you a fever that makes you super duper weak. Gets rid of the problem, but you feel like shit.

(closeup of healthy shrimp gills (A) vs. black gill damaged shrimp gills (B), from Landers et al. 2020)

So, this means the shrimp are weaker, slower, and about 2-3x more susceptible to predation. Which means THEY IN DANGER GIRRRLLL.

This disease was first “discovered” in Georgia and North Carolina in the late 90’s, so it’s actually relative new and completely understudied. Which means once I jumped on this project my career ABSOLUTELY BLEW UP (in a good way).

I got a job as a biologist with Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Coastal Fisheries Division about two years ago, mostly because of the shrimp disease research I was doing in Virginia. Since moving down to Texas, I’ve been in charge of two major shrimp disease monitoring projects across the entire Texas gulf coast (It takes 8 hours to drive the full length from Louisiana to Mexico). We go out and collect samples from 7 major bays in Texas (Sabine Lake, Galveston Bay, East and West Matagorda Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, and Upper and Lower Laguna Madre)

I rely pretty heavily on our fisheries techs to collect samples for me since our coast is so expansive, but I do go out often on our local bay with my husband (he works at another local TPWD lab).

Once we get shrimp, I isolate DNA from shrimp gill tissue, and then I use a really cool DNA fragment tissue sequencing method to see if the shrimp have H. lynni DNA or not. DNA sequencing is just a matter of using DNA primers to go in and select a certain part of the ciliate genome that is unique and differentiated from shrimp DNA. DNA is just a sequence of proteins--adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C), and each species of animal/plant/bacteria have parts of their genome that have a unique ATGC pattern—that’s how we can differentiate species!

Once I know which shrimp are positive for black gill, we can determine if temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, location, or time of year have an effect on how much black gill we see in shrimp populations coast wide.

Now, I got asked to be on TPWD’s PBS show—so here’s a small segment to kind of streamline what I do. Watch me be awkward on television.

youtube

I’m just going to point out, I do not do lab work CSI style, in the dark.

So in addition to black gill, I’m beginning to look at other common shrimp diseases too (like the aforementioned White Spot Disease in the video). Because of this, I got to go to a shrimp disease pathology course at the University of Arizona. Why is a marine disease lab in Arizona you ask? Because Arizona is not near any body of water, so they do not risk contamination. Also, they tell me the Arizona sun is pretty good at disinfecting aquarium equipment. I got to learn new DNA sequencing methods and dip my toe into histology, which is basically sectioning shrimp samples and dying organs so you can see what is going on with an organism’s body.

(cross section of a healthy shrimp gill)

Because of this, my TPWD coworkers and I are hopefully going to hop onto a big disease study with the University of Arizona and South Carolina’s Department of Natural Resources—but we are still waiting to hear back from the USDA to see if our study is going to be funded. Fingers crossed.

In addition to the University of Arizona study, I’m working with Texas SeaGrant and commercial shrimpers to collect more samples in the Gulf of Mexico (think WAAAAAYYYY offshore, 70-100 miles offshore). This is where all the big adult shrimp are, and I want to collect samples to see if adult shrimp are passing the disease to their offspring as their babies move inshore. And from the looks of it, the adults have it to.

(one of my boat captains, who is out on the Gulf right now, sent me this picture. Note the dark gills)

I’m sure I’ll have some more information for you all in the future as my studies progress, but for now, I’ll leave you with this: The Texas Gulf Coast shrimp populations are infected with H. lynni—and at some of the highest levels in the country. In the summer, upwards of 80% of shrimp can be infected in coastal Texas regions. In addition, low salinity and high temperatures tend to increase disease prevalence as well, and this might be tied to climate change and warming waters, as well as salinity changes due to increased precipitation (due to climate change) and the rerouting of river flow.

(percentage of black gill positive shrimp across the Texas gulf coast from 2019--from a WIP manuscript of mine)

Thanks for reading ya’ll, and as always, PLEASE do not hesitate to ask questions about my research.

October 6, 2003

Hello all..thought I'd write in here since I have pretty much nothing else to do. I've been up to pretty much nothing. Sadey and I went to the mall and bought our AFI limited edition Art & Artisha dolls..which cost an arm and a leg. We also talked to kevin..just him tho cuz Bobby-o wasn't there today. It was hilarious because when we were leaving I go to hug kevin and I accidentally hit his nose...he's all like "oh great she's trying to beat me up too!" good times man, good times. Anyway in other good news, Sadey's mom is thinking about opening a store sorta like Hot Topic @ the mall..and it's gonna be hella rad cuz well, I can work there =D We'd carry much more cooler things than Hot Topic..I mean I like that store at times but, they never really carry anything that cool now. Speaking of HT im gonna start working there prolly in mid november. Im putting my 2 weeks @ Target in tommorow. Anyhoo while I was at HT I saw this rad velvet black dress with like flared sleeves and I want it for the show in Universal but I checked the price and its like 90 bucks so I was like hell no..so Im gonna have my mom make one for me and im adding shit on it like red laced trim...its gonna be so super awesome =D Im trying to think of what else that has happened..Oh I was sick this weekened and I called in for work and Nickey (the LOD) got all pissed and told me im not taking my job seriously anymore and all this other BS and she hung up on me...so she basically called me a liar....and im telling you, I was really sick! So I woke up the next morning and it was already like 11:00am and my shift was supposed to start at 9 and I was like shit...they're gonna fire me. So I called Nickey and she apologized for hanging up on me and that she doesnt wanna lose me as an employee and that she values me and shit..I was just like yea, well you're in for a rude awakening cuz im quitting haha..no I didn't say that but I was thinking it..so she told me to just take the day off. I was like cool ok. So I guess thats all that really happened...I went to this wedding party thing on Saturday night w/ sadey a whole bunch of Italians from brooklyn...awesome as hell im in love with their accents..lol. There was this annoying kid there that was trying to impress Sadey and I by acting all drunk and telling us how much he had to drink when in all reality he wasn't really drunk he was just pretending because all his mom would let him have was one drink..little does he know we're sXe..haha loser. Alright anyhoo I guess thats all for site news.. my wonderful katie (rapturous voice davey fansite) is leaving me ::cries:: she bought a domain,

davey-havok.net

Ill miss you much Katie =D Go visit her now BTW. But the good news is that I got a new hostee,

Barbara

. She's gonna open the fanlisting for AFI's

Morningstar

which I am very happy about..it's about damn time someone decides to make a fanlisting for that song cuz it is such a beautiful song =D Alright so..enough of my rambling im out, later =D --Lizzy--[Deadjournal] | [Plug]

@azonip The last part was exciting right? And probably very confusing! So here is the conclusion of the first draft of the FIRST BOOK! That’s right! I wrote BOOKS! Or what would have become books, had I not discarded this project. This is all I will post for today. If you’re enjoying it, let me know and I’ll post the rest of the first draft of the story, along with the new character artwork.

If you don’t like it, let me know so I don’t tag you when I post the rest of the first draft of the story, along with the new character artwork! XD LOL

Copy-paste of the original first draft:

the group are in the living room, sitting. lucy is huddled in a chair with a blanket and tea. the others are sitting around her and have transformed back to their human forms.

myrina: how did you do it lucy?

lucy: no, first you guys have to tell me what the hell is going on! why did those monsters kidnap me and try to kill alex? i want to know the truth.

alex: i'm sorry lucy, i didn't mean for you to find out this way. i didn't mean for you to find out at all. i was trying to protect you from my enemies, but they got to you anyway.

lucy: why do you have enemies? why didn't you tell me about all this crazy shit with vampires and were-wolves and giant snakes and crap like that!

alex: calm down, i'm sorry i kept the truth from you. i'll tell you everything.

kai: i already told her some of the basics.

alex: years ago, when i found out about kai's transformations i couldn't believe it at first. but i knew he needed my help to get through them. together we learned how to control them using meditation and martial arts.

kai: it really worked.

alex: then i began to think that maybe kai wasn't the only one like that. and i wondered how he got that way. i did a lot of research and thought maybe kai had been bitten by a were-wolf when he was a baby or something

kai: but i have no scars or bite marks, or any memory of such a thing. i think if i was that young a bite would have killed me. the only clue i had was this pendant i was wearing when i was found in the forest by my adopted parents.

kai shows lucy a wooden pendant with a wolf's face carved on it and a dream catcher hanging beside it on a leather string around his neck.

kai: it's the only clue my birth parents left me, i guess. i was wearing it when my adopted parents found me.

alex: i speculated that maybe kai was born with his ability to transform into another creature, and maybe there were others who could help us know more about it. i did a lot of searching but i found nothing, until i met quan and myrina in college.

quan: we kind of tried to kill him. sorry about that....again.

alex has a flashback to when he was in college. it is a dark night but the moon is full, he is walking down a quiet street. he hears growling a little ahead of him.

alex: kai? is that you?

suddenly a wolf runs towards him. alex drops his bag and dodges it. the wolf has black fur and green eyes.

alex: you're not kai!

the wolf attacks him again but misses.

alex: stop! i know what you are and i can help you!

the wolf pounces on alex and he falls to the ground. they struggle and alex fights him off.

alex: i don't want to hurt you, i need to talk to you!

but the wolf keeps attacking and alex has to defend himself. suddenly another wolf appears.

alex: two of you! i better get out of here.

alex runs and the wolves chase him. he is cornered against a wall. he looks at them. they approach slowly and snarl at him. suddenly a cloud moves in front of the moon and the wolves calm down. they look at alex confusedly.

alex: stop, you don't know what you're doing! i can help you control this, but you have to stop attacking me.

quan: who are you? how can you help us?

alex: my best friend is like you. we've been looking for others ever since it started. i helped him control his transformations, and i can help you too, if you'll join us.

myrina: we can't help it! the minute that cloud uncovers the moon we'll go crazy again. you have to get out while you can! my name is myrina randolf and this is my twin brother quan.

alex: i'm alex cadeyrn. we'll find each other when this is over. but you need to get away from campus or you could kill someone. go!

myrina: stay out of the forest tonight!

alex snaps back to the present.

alex: after that i looked them up and found them. i went with kai to see them and he showed them that he could control his transformations. together the four of us formed the brotherhood.

myrina: it was much harder for us to control ourselves because we'd been that way for many years with no one to guide us. alex was there to help kai from the beginning, but we were much more advanced by the time he found us.

quan: luckily kai was with us whenever there was a full moon, and he would keep us in line.

myrina: we discovered that the more we learned to control our abilities the stronger we got, both in mind and in body.

kai: and myrina and quan were able to help me find out more about myself.

myrina: neither of us were bitten by were-wolves, that's just something people made up because they don't understand people like us. being able to shape-shift isn't the result of some kind of infection. my brother and i went through our transformations at the same time, being identical twins and all. we always thought it might be something to do with our blood. our mother is vietnamese and our dad is english. my dad would tell us stories about strange people who could turn into animals, it wasn't until alex contacted him did we find out our grand-uncle was rumored to be one of them.

quan: that's why we think it's got something to do with our bloodline. our ability to shape-shift may be inherited from our family.

kai: the wolf pendant is a clue about my family, maybe they were like me. but i haven't been able to find them, i don't know where to look. the only thing quan, myrina, ralph and i have in common is the fact that we can turn into wolves, nothing in our blood suggests we're related in any way. ralph's from arizona, but i was found in the mountains near the coast of california.

ralph: and as far as i know, i'm the only shape-shifter in the hopi nation.

lucy: how'd you join the brotherhood, ralph?

ralph: i lived in the reservation in arizona until i was 15, but i was a danger to my people, so i ran away. my father knew about my secret and tried to help me, but he didn't know how. for many years i hid in caves, as far away from people as i could. i wandered here and lived in the forest until i came across these 3. we're different from regular wolves, much bigger and stronger. we have the heightened senses of a wolf but with the intelligence of a human. i knew straight away that the 3 wolves i was looking at were like me. they convinced me to join them and i've been with the brotherhood ever since. i have the most difficulty controlling my abilities, i still go a bit crazy on the full moon.

myrina: you're much better now than when we found you.

ralph: a lot of that is thanks to you. *smiles*

lucy: so, who are the guys who tried to kill us tonight?

alex: monsters who think they can go around killing innocent people. when we moved here after college we didn't know about them. we minded our own business and just tried to live our lives. this place is perfect, you see, because there is so much wilderness, no one will notice a pack of wolves running around in the forest. i wanted my friends to be able to be themselves and live a happy life. but because it's so isolated i guess that's why rafa and his gang decided to make it their home too. when i noticed that people were dying mysteriously i tried to investigate things, but rafa didn't like that and told me to leave. i knew from that moment that he was behind all of it, and i would have to stop him. that's why i objected to having you around so much. i knew that he would try to use you to get rid of me.

lucy: i see. but they're not like you guys. they're...they're....

ralph: evil. undead creatures from hell. but i wasn't surprised when i found out about them. if we "were-wolves" exist then i guess vampires do too.

quan: but what about the other two? the huge snake and that....that....creepy, veined, pale, naked, crawling thing!

alex: i don't know.

lucy: i do. the snake is a shape-shifter too. before you guys showed up she was a woman, but she wore a black veil, i didn't see her face. and the thing...the others kept referring to him as the incubus, whatever means.

ralph: it's a kind of demon known to haunt people, especially women, and rape them in their sleep, begetting demon offspring through the victim.

everyone looks shocked and disgusted.

alex: how do you know that?

ralph: you hear all kinds of stories when you're a wandering nomad.

lucy shudders. myrina puts her arm around her.

myrina: don't worry kid, he knows not to mess with one of the brotherhood.

alex: wait a minute, who said lucy was going to become one of the brotherhood? she has to go back to her mother and finish school.

lucy: what! i can't go back! not after all this.

myrina: but alex, she already is one of us.

quan: yeah, we fought for her and she saved my life. the brotherhood always looks out for each other. she belongs with us now.

kai: come on alex, she can't go back, not without us anyway. if we leave her alone they could just find her and kill her. she needs us.

ralph: kai is right. letting her go back to school without us to protect her would be a stupid thing to do.

alex: of course i would go with her. but i don't want to get her into any more trouble. and being with the brotherhood puts her in danger.

lucy: look, either way i'll be in danger. i'd rather be in danger with you guys than be in it by myself.

alex: i don't know. i'm just taking this one step at a time. maybe i could move back home and stay with you. the brotherhood doesn't need me anyway, you guys would get on fine without me here.

the other 4: what!

kai: you're our leader and our friend. of course we need you!

ralph: alex, it's very late and you're not thinking clearly. why don't we all get some sleep and we can discuss it tomorrow when we're fresh.

quan: good idea. i'm going to bed.

alex: ok. good night guys. *the others go upstairs*

end.

the next day lucy goes downstairs and finds everyone eating in the living room.

myrina: good morning lucy.

quan: more like good afternoon, it's 1:00.

lucy: wow. i slept in.

alex: we all did, and we needed it too.

ralph: lucy, what happened last night? you never told us how you saved quan.

lucy: oh. right. alex, do you remember io?

myrina: who?

lucy: my cat. she got cancer when i was 13 and my mom was going to take her to the vet to put her to sleep. i got really upset and begged my mom not to, but she said io was in too much pain and it would be kinder to kill her than let her suffer so much. i ran to my room crying and i held her in my arms. i remember wishing that there was something i could do to save her. i suddenly put my hands on her body and started thinking about the cancer going away, and i thought about it really hard. i kept saying "please help me cure her, please help me" and suddenly i felt io's pain go away. i got really dizzy afterwards and passed out, but when i woke up io was purring like a healthy new cat.

alex: i remember now. mom took io to the vet and he said there was nothing wrong with her. neither of us could understand how it just disappeared like that.

lucy: well, that's when i discovered that i could heal things. not just animals either, i never had to replace my basil plant because it was always healthy. i can heal others and i can heal myself too.

alex: how come you never told me? i thought you trusted me with everything.

lucy: i didn't want you to think i was weird or anything. *laughs* little did i know. i've kept it a secret from everyone until last night, when i found out you're the leader of a clan of were-wolves!

everyone laughs.

alex: listen, the guys and i have been discussing a few things and we came up with a conclusion. it looks like kai and i are going to go back with you until school ends.

kai: yeah, it'll be nice to see my parents again. it's been a while.

lucy: what about the brotherhood?

alex: well we all thought about it and it seems like we all need a vacation. everyone's taking 2 months off and going their separate ways. after your graduation we'll all meet up back here. all of us.

lucy: really? me too?

alex: yeah, we took a vote to decide whether you should join us. it was a unanimous decision. anyway, i can protect you better if you're with the brotherhood.

quan: big brother is watching you.

lucy: oh great. *laughs* so what are the rest of you guys doing while we're away?

quan: myrina and i are going to visit our parents too. and then we might take a trip to vietnam. we've never been there and it'll be nice to see part of our heritage.

ralph: i'm going back to arizona to see my family. my dad doesn't even know where i am or if i'm alive. now that i know how to control myself i'll be able to make him proud.

myrina: he's already proud of you ralph, i'm sure. he probably misses you and he'll be really happy to see you again.

ralph smiles: after that i might catch up with you guys and go to vietnam with you.

myrina jumps up and kisses him.

myrina: i would love that!

lucy: i'm gonna miss you guys.

myrina: we'll miss you too lucy. we're all going to miss each other.

quan: group hug!

alex: we'll see each other again in the summer. and we'll have plenty of stories to tell i'm sure.

kai: yeah, lucy's prom is coming up. that'll be a story.

lucy: shut up kai.

the end.

As Koreans, was this the real checklist for Sun Myung Moon and other Korean church leaders?

“The Five Blessings” – these blessings were wealth, high status, a long healthy life, abundant offspring, and a painless and natural death.

from the book The Korean Mind: Understanding Contemporary Korean Culture by Boyé Lafayette De Mente pages 309-311

Pok / O-Bok (Blessings / Five Blessings) Blessings from the Spirits

It seems to be a universal principle that the less freedom people have and the more they are subjected to the whims and idiosyncrasies of rulers who have absolute power, the more likely they are to depend on supernatural phenomena to provide them with solace and protection. Gods and spirits may not be the progeny of religious and political despots, but they thrive best in autocratic societies in which ordinary people have few if any rights and are obligated to serve the elite ruling class. The kings and yangban ruling class of pre-modern Korea were not especially harsh by world standards, but until the modern era—which in a real sense did not begin until the end of the Korean War in the 1950s—common people had few human rights and society in general was authoritarian, male dominated, and feudalistic to the core.

There had been benevolent rulers and yangban in earlier times in Korea, but their benevolence was the kind that one extends to a valued servant or slave—not the kind that includes freedom of thought or any semblance of independent behavior. In this environment the supernatural world played a key role in the lives of the common Koreans. They depended entirely on gods and spirits for pok, or “blessings,” that would protect them from the ravages of nature as well as misuse and abuse by their overlords.

There was peace and stability in Korea except on rare occasions when these abuses became untenable and rebellions erupted. But this peace and stability was achieved only because the system required the people to subordinate themselves totally to their superiors and obey them without question or delay. Thus the only “good” that common Koreans could expect in their lives were pok from the spirits. They were therefore meticulous in praying and performing the rituals prescribed for the guardian spirits and gods that exercised domain over their homes, villages, larger communities, nearby mountains, and the afterlife.

Early Koreans were not bashful about what they wanted out of life. They created a list that came to be known as O-Bok, or “The Five Blessings.” These blessings were wealth, high status, a long healthy life, abundant offspring, and a painless and natural death. Needless to say, until recent times only a tiny percentage of the Korean population ever had any chance of achieving more than one or two of these goals because their social class and the quality of their lives were fixed at birth at little more than a survival level.

When it became apparent in the 1970s that many Koreans were going to be able to achieve most if not all of the traditional O-Bok, it resulted in a great deal of public dialogue and debate, with some people making the point that if everyone got what they wanted it might turn out to be a disaster rather than a blessing. The major point of the dialogue was that the desire of the poor to become wealthy, a prerequisite for most of the other blessings, could lead to a breakdown in morality that could result in the country becoming a quagmire of avarice, corruption, and depravity. Another point was that if families had as many children as they wanted and everyone lived to an advanced age the social and economic impact could be devastating.

A number of the more thoughtful commentators on O-Bok held that Korean mentality as a whole would have to be transformed before there could be positive progress toward a society in which the Five Blessings reigned. Among their observations was that Koreans would have to give up their traditional Confucian-driven compulsion to have many children, along with their obsession with male supremacy, male descent, and the second-class status of females.

What these people were saying in essence was that Koreans would have to give up the Confucian ideas on which their society and culture had been based for more than two thousand years and start over with a much more pragmatic approach to life. Despite the fact that Koreans have historically been known as the most Confucian of all the people in the Confucian sphere of Asia, that is exactly what the majority of them having been doing since the 1980s.

Most present-day Koreans no longer have to depend on spirits for all of their blessings. They now have enough freedom and affluence that they can help themselves to many of the intellectual, emotional, and material “blessings” of a prosperous industrialized society. But the superior-inferior nature of Korean society has basically remained the same. People are still ranked vertically according to their social class, sex, position, and age. The modern-day pok they receive varies with their relative positions within their families and within their work units.

The transformation of Korea from a totally Confucian society dependent on spiritual blessings to one based on practical efforts has been deeper and more dramatic than similar changes taking place in China and Japan. Individual Koreans have more self-confidence than the Japanese and they are more open and outgoing than the Chinese. They are also more at ease with the principles of individualism and democracy than the Japanese, and less given to intrigue than the Chinese.

One of the most dramatic and far-reaching examples of the willingness of Koreans to change began in the 1960s. Leading Korean companies began hiring people with foreign language ability and business experience or training abroad and putting them in responsible managerial positions. In contrast to this, with rare exceptions Japan’s leading corporations refused to employ people with foreign experience. When their own employees came back from overseas assignments, their foreign experience was deliberately ignored. Many companies treated returned employees as outcasts. It was not until the early 1980s that senior Japanese executives of large firms began to overcome this insular, ethnocentric prejudice and both hire small numbers of foreigners and give their own veteran employees returning from overseas responsible positions.

Koreans, on the other hand, not having been handicapped by this extreme ethnocentric obsession, not only are well on their way toward achieving at least two and maybe more of their O-Bok but also believe they will eventually overtake Japan.

From the back cover:

Koreans have a unique character and personality that sets them apart from all other Asians. And although Korean attitudes and behavior may be influenced by the modern world, the Korean mindset is still very much shaped by ancient culture and traditions. In The Korean Mind, Boyé Lafayette De Mente explores the meanings and cultural context of the most important “code words” of the Korean language, terms whose significance goes well beyond their literal definitions. the reader is given insights into the character and personality of the Korean people, providing bridges for communicating and interacting with them.

THE viable way to resistant bees, basics by Ed&Dee Lusby

Ed&Dee Lusby, the pioneers of treatment free beekeeping The basics of our work - Ed&Dee Lusby, arizona "Okay, by now many probably know that we think that smaller bees are better, but WHY and HOW? Well, since a series of questions were asked, I guess I better start trying to give our rational for believing why we do. First of all, let me state, to win a war you do not do it by piece milltactics for you will lose. You win by using everything at your disposal, ina conscientiously applied program of surrounding and engulfment from allsides. We are indeed in a war with our industry and whether we win or loseas an industry going forward, will take many of us working together andhelping each other out. This includes sharing information and not holdingback as i.e. trade secrets, for what is it to succeed, if you are the onlyones left and all your friends are gone. We believe that environmental surroundings and being in harmony by way of cell size is 1/3 of the problem, because prior to artificial enlargement of combs, there was no problem, and that by the way, has esculated ever since with parasitic mite problems and secondary diseases, and yes, breeding problems. We believe that diet is about 1/3 of the problem, with artificial diet causing inadequate nutrition. Poor nutrition is a serious stress factor of any organism, that can lead to disease and parasite attacks, as well as yes, breeding problems. We believe that breeding is also 1/3 of the problem, that is not in tune with natural surroundings. Breeding wrongly goes hand in hand with inducing dietary stress and environmental stress. You cannot do one of the above alone, without compromising the other two also, therefore all changes have to be done in an overall combined program, that includes combating the problem from all angles. Is this not what Nature is doing to us now? Fighting us from all angles? I think so! Many have asked/written over the years:................ 'By reducing the cell size makes the bees less susceptible to the ravages of Varroa, other pathogens and disease? WHY? This implies some major change to the bees chemical makeup as Varroa's trigger is chemical or pheromone based, and sizing does this? Correct?' With most of todays artificially enlarged foundations on the market, closer to natural drone cell size, than natural workerbee size, there has been created a pseudo-effect, in that parasitic mites now persieve workerbees as an other food source. This is not so in Nature. In Nature, reproduction of mites on A. cerana is limited mainly by the usually very small number of drone cells produced by them; and also by very few female mites developing on worker larvae. They do so only at the periphery of the brood-nest where larvae are coolest and so have a period of development long enough for some mites on them to reach maturity. It is known that A. cerana and apis mellifera cannot breed back and forth and make viable offspring. But, they are still so close in everything else, that we can study and learn and mimic, to regain control of our honeybees. Concerning the pseudo-effect of our workerbees being perceived as drones,i.e. just another food source. The capacity of a drone cell for food is double that of a workercell, even though the drone cell is only in ratio 20%larger. The capacity of a drone cell also carries with it more juvenile growth hormone III, which when the varroa feeds on the blood of the dronel arvae, induces egg laying in the mite. In A. cerana there is insufficient juvenile growth hormone III available to induce egg laying of mites inworker brood cells. Now the size of A. cerana has a natural range by latitude, as does apis mellifera, and coincidentialy they are primarily the same. By placing our apis mellifera colonies then back onto comb cell sizing pre-1900 size, back into the upper range of natural at 4.9, we can approximate the sizing of A. cerana in Korea, Japan and the upper west coast of SEA for natural control relative to A. cerana. At the same time then, we reduce the food inticement, and also the triggering for mite reproduction. Other things happen when we reduce the size of the worker brood cell back into natural biological parameters. You also change the density of the cells on the brood frame, and compacting density raises the temperature, which also helps to place the development more to the periphery of the broodnest for mites.This we have seen happening in our colonies now and so have others visiting and seeing also. Also, we recommend culling of dronecombs to no more than 10% of anyoneframe within the broodnest, to trigger broodnest cleaning by our apismellifera workerbees. This continuously culling(a field management change)has trigger our workerbees to chewout varroa from our colonies broodnests for both worker and drone brood. It has also resulted in stimulative raising of drones throughout the active season when our bees are raising brood, which we believe helps for better mating of our queens. By also compacting the broodnest we gain more workerbees for each turn ofbrood for more division of labor, which means more workers for expanded jobs, such as above chewing out of brood. Since the size of the bee is regulated by the size of the cell and the size of the cell regulates the size of the thorax of the workerbee, we also gain control of trachael mites by reducing the opening of the first thoracic spiracle where the mites gain inner entry into the lungs of our bees. By reducing the reproduction of varroa (both types verified by the USDATucson Lab as being in our area) and trachael mites, both known in our area in our bees, we then cause a reduction in secondary diseases, by reduction of open wounds caused by mites chewing upon the exoskelton of our bees and penetrating to drink blood, then vectoring in viral, bacteria, and fungali nfections. By compacting the density of our broodnest, we gain higher temperature that triggers faster broodnest turnover, that then acts in conjunction with the normal post-capping stage of worker larvae being shortened by up to 24 hours during nectar flows, during the active season, and thus lessing varroa reproduction within our colonies even further. By reducing the size of the cell to back within the natural range spectrum we fit more naturally the natural flora of plants not hybridized by man, which is the majority in Nature and thus increase the diet, making it more balanced for overall colony health. This can be seen in a greater range of pollen colors brought into and deposited within our colonies. It also makes for more range in the collection of nectar also for increased health benefits. By reducing the size of the cell back to within the natural range our bees can breed back and forth with feral bees and gain greater variability for expanded characteristics for selection, and where one has great selection, you can breed more for what one wants. By putting all this together into a package then, we gain control for better diet for our bees, better disease control for our bees, by not having their bodies chewed upon, either externally or internally to vector in associated problems of viral, fungal or bacterial in nature, we gain reduced reproduction of parasites by natural restriction of their diet upon our bees, and the result is we don't have to use various chemical treatments. I probably have missed someting here, I hope not in thinking about it. I hope it helps answer your question as to why we do it. Read the full article

How To Administer An Estate In Utah

Estate is everything involving the total assets of an individual, including all land, assets and different resources that the individual possesses or has a controlling enthusiasm for. The word estate is conversationally used to allude to the majority of the land and enhancements for a huge property, frequently some kind of ranch or residence, or the notable home of a noticeable family. In any case, in the money related and legitimate feeling of the term, an estate alludes to everything of esteem that an individual claims – land, craftsmanship accumulations, old fashioned things, speculations, protection and some other resources and qualifications – and is likewise utilized as a general method to allude to an individual’s total assets.

Lawfully, an individual’s estate alludes to a person’s absolute resources, less any liabilities. Estates are most significant upon the passing of a person. Estate arranging is the demonstration of dealing with the division and legacy of your own estate, and ostensibly speaks to the most significant money related arranging of a person’s life. By and large, an individual draws up a will which clarifies the departed benefactor’s aims for the conveyance of their estate upon their passing. An individual who gets resources through legacy is known as a recipient. In practically all cases, estates are partitioned between individuals from the perished’s family. This section of riches starting with one age of a family then onto the next tends to dig in pay in certain social classes or families. Legacy represents an enormous extent of complete riches in the United States and around the globe and is to a limited extent in charge of persevering pay imbalance (however there are, obviously, numerous different variables). Incompletely as a reaction to the stagnation of riches development because of legacy, most governments require those in line for a legacy to make good on a legacy regulatory expense on the estate. This assessment can be exceptionally huge, here and there requiring the recipient to offer a portion of the acquired resources so as to make good on the regulatory obligation bill.

In the United States, if most of an estate is left to a mate or to a philanthropy, the estate assessment is commonly lifted. It is commonly prudent for both the individual drafting the will and the recipients of an estate to utilize the administrations of estate lawyers. Legacy expenses are famous for their intricacy and excessiveness, and the utilization of a lawyer guarantees that your legacy duties are paid effectively. On the drafting end, there are various estimates that can be taken to limit the measure of duty one’s recipients should pay, such as setting up trusts.

A probate is a legitimate procedure where a will is audited to decide if it is substantial and valid. Probate additionally alludes to the general controlling of an expired individual’s will or the estate of a perished individual without a will. The court delegates either an agent named in the will (or a chairman if there is no will) to manage the way toward gathering the benefits of the expired individual, paying any liabilities staying on the individual’s estate, lastly circulating the advantages of the estate to recipients named in the will or decided accordingly by the agent. A probate is the initial step taken in overseeing the estate of an expired individual and disseminating advantages for the recipients. At the point when a property proprietor passes on, his benefits are partitioned among the recipients recorded in his will. For some situation, the departed benefactor or expired does not leave a will which ought to contain directions on how his or her advantages ought to be appropriated after death.

Regardless of whether there is a will for direction or not, the benefits of a decedent’s estate might be required to experience probate. At the point when a departed benefactor kicks the bucket, the overseer of the will must take the will to the probate court or to the agent named in the will inside 30 days of the passing of the deceased benefactor. The probate procedure is a court-managed method in which the realness of the will deserted is demonstrated to be substantial and acknowledged as the genuine last confirmation of the perished. The court formally chooses the agent named in the will, which, thusly, gives the agent the lawful capacity to follow up for the benefit of the perished. The lawful individual delegate or agent affirmed by the court is in charge of finding and regulating every one of the benefits of the perished. The agent needs to evaluate the estimation of the estate by utilizing either the date of death esteem or the other valuation date, as indicated in the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Most resources that are liable to probate organization gone under the supervision of the probate court in where the decedent inhabited passing. The special case is land. You should probate land in the region in which it is found.

The agent likewise needs to make good on off any regulatory obligations and obligation owed by the perished from the estate. Banks as a rule have a restricted measure of time from the date they were advised of the departed benefactor’s demise to make any cases against the estate for cash owed to them. Cases that are dismissed by the agent can be indicted where a probate judge will have the last say on whether the case is lawful. The agent is additionally in charge of recording the last close to home personal assessment forms for the benefit of the expired. Any estate imposes that are pending will come due inside nine months of the date of death. After the stock of the estate has been taken, the estimation of advantages determined, and duties and obligation satisfied, the agent will at that point look for approval from the court to circulate whatever is left of the estate to the recipients. At the point when an individual kicks the bucket without a will, he is said to have passed on intestate. An intestate estate is likewise one where the will displayed to the court was regarded to be invalid. The probate procedure for an intestate estate incorporates disseminating the decedent’s advantages as per state laws. The probate courts start the procedure by delegating an executive to administer the estate of the expired. The chairman capacities as an agent, accepting every single lawful case against the estate and satisfying the exceptional obligations, for example, unpaid bills. The head is entrusted with finding the legitimate beneficiaries of the perished, including enduring life partners, kids, and guardians. The probate court will evaluate what resources should be circulated among the legitimate beneficiaries and how to appropriate them. The probate laws in many states isolate property among the enduring life partner and offspring of the perished. For instance, an occupant of Arizona, New Mexico, California, Texas, Idaho, Nevada, and Washington who bites the dust without a legitimate will have his estate isolated by network property laws in the state.

Community property laws perceive the two life partners as joint property proprietors. Utah is a martial property state, not a community property state. In actuality, the conveyance progression begins with the enduring life partner. On the off chance that unmarried or bereft at the season of death, resources will be isolated among any enduring kids, before some other relatives are considered. On the off chance that no closest relative can be found, the advantages in the estate will turn into the property of the state.

In case you’re wrapping up the estate of an Utah inhabitant who passed on with an estate that is worth not exactly a specific dollar sum, you won’t need to experience a formal probate court continuing. It doesn’t make a difference whether the perished individual left a will; what makes a difference is the estimation of the benefits abandoned. In the event that the estate’s esteem is under the “little estates” limit in Utah, you can exploit a disentangled probate method, regularly called a “synopsis probate.” Instead of having a court hearing before a judge, you may require just to document a basic structure or two and sit tight for a specific measure of time before appropriating the advantages. In certain states, it tends to be much simpler: Inheritors can utilize a basic sworn statement to guarantee resources. (An oath is an announcement you sign before a legal official, swearing something is valid.) If you live in one of those states, you simply need to hold up a required timeframe, at that point sign a basic, sworn proclamation that no probate continuing is going on in your state and that you are the individual qualified for acquire a specific resource – a financial balance, for instance.

When you are attempting to decide if an estate’s esteem is underneath the Utah little estates limit, the principal activity is make a rundown of the benefits. A straightforward spreadsheet or rundown will do. Not everything an individual claims checks, however. For this rundown, incorporate just the things that go to beneficiaries and recipients by will or, if there’s no will, by Utah intestacy laws, which figure out who acquires if there is no will.

Try not to include resources that are held in joint occupancy, retirement plans, payable-on-death (POD) ledgers, land moved by an exchange on-death deed, or move on-death money market funds. These advantages don’t check towards the little estate limit since they go to the named recipients paying little mind to what a will (or state intestacy law) says. In the event that an individual had a life coverage strategy with a named recipient, the protection continues won’t check either. A few states likewise don’t check the measure of cash owed on a vehicle, or a house, while others tally the honest estimation of a benefit, even it is liable to a credit or a home loan.

For instance, say Mr. Donald Jones died in Utah and possessed the accompanying resources:

• A financial records with $2,345

• An investment account with $2,567

• A vehicle with a blue book estimation of $6,500 (and no credit)

• An IRA with $32,000, naming his child and girl as recipients

• An extra security arrangement worth ,000, naming his child and little girl as recipients

To make sense of whether Donald is above or beneath Utah’s little estate limit, just the financial balances and vehicle would be checked, for an aggregate of $11,412. His IRA and the disaster protection continues aren’t tallied towards the point of confinement since they will go to his recipients legitimately. The estimation of the vehicle is incorporated in light of the fact that he doesn’t owe cash on it.

That implies the estimation of Donald’s estate is under the Utah little estates limit. His child and girl, who acquire his advantages under Utah’s intestacy laws on the grounds that Donald had no will, would pursue this technique: You can utilize an Affidavit in Utah for estates with under $100,000, not including liens or encumbrances (like a home loan). You can likewise move up to four pontoons, engine vehicles, trailers or semi-trailers, if the estimation of estate subject to probate, barring the estimation of the vehicles, is $100,000.

There is a 30-day holding up period. You can utilize a synopsis probate strategy for estates in which the estimation of the estate, less liens or encumbrances, doesn’t surpass the residence stipend, excluded property, family recompense, and expenses of organization, memorial service costs, and last sickness costs.

In the event that the decedent claimed couple of advantages, it might be conceivable to evade the probate procedure. In numerous states, a “little estate organization” is accessible. Ordinarily, so as to fit the bill for a little estate organization, the decedent’s advantages must exclude land and should be worth not exactly an edge sum dictated by the state. In the event that a little estate organization is appropriate, the gatherings who are qualified for get the decedent’s advantages may gather those benefits by method for an “oath,” a sworn explanation that is recorded with the court. Indeed, even in a little estate continuing, however, the decedent’s loan bosses may should be paid from the benefits before any estate resources are appropriated.

In case you’re managing an estate, you have a great deal of duty – not exclusively to the perished party’s inheritance, yet to the relatives and other friends and family named in the will. Hence, you ought to counsel a neighborhood estate arranging lawyer who can help guarantee that you’re directing the estate appropriately.
