The word "insect" comes from the Latin word insectum, meaning "with a notched or divided body", or literally "cut into", from the neuter singular past participle of insectare, "to cut into, to cut up", from in- "into" and secare "to cut";^[9] because insects appear "cut into" three sections. Pliny the Elder introduced the Latin designation as a loan-translation of the Greek word ἔντομος (éntomos) or "insect" (as in entomology), which was Aristotle's term for this class of life, also in reference to their "notched" bodies. "Insect" first appears documented in English in 1601 in Holland's translation of Pliny. Translations of Aristotle's term also form the usual word for "insect" in Welsh (trychfil, from trychu "to cut" and mil, "animal"), Serbo-Croatian (zareznik, from rezati, "to cut"), Russian (насекомое nasekomoje, from seč'/-sekat', "to cut"), etc.^[9]

Adult insects typically move about by walking, flying, or sometimes swimming. As it allows for rapid yet stable movement, many insects adopt a tripedal gait in which they walk with their legs touching the ground in alternating triangles.

A hormone is a chemical substance that is classified as a peptide, steroid, or amine.

Hormones are synthesized and secreted by endocrine cells usually found in endocrine glands.

The classical endocrine glands are the hypothala- mus, anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal cortex, adrenal medulla, gonads, placenta, and pancreas

steroid hormones are derivatives of cholesterol

amine hormones are derivatives of tyrosine

In the nucleus, the gene for the hormone is tran- scribed into an mRNA. Generally, a single gene is responsible for directing the primary structure of each peptide hormone. (Because the genes for almost all peptide hormones have been cloned, recombinant DNA technology makes it possible to synthesize human peptide hormones.) 2. The hormone mRNA is transferred to the cytoplasm and translated on the ribosomes to the first protein pro- duct, a preprohormone. Translation of the mRNA begins with a signal peptide at the N terminus. Translation ceases, and the signal peptide attaches to receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum via “docking proteins.” Translation then continues on the endoplasmic reticulum until the entire peptide sequence is produced (i.e., the preprohormone). 3. The signal peptide is removed in the endoplasmic reticulum, converting the preprohormone to a prohormone. The prohormone contains the complete hormone sequence plus other peptide sequences, which will be removed in a final step. Some of the “other” peptide sequences in the pro- hormone are necessary for proper folding of the hormone (e.g., formation of intramolecular linkages). 4. The prohormone is transferred to the Golgi appa- ratus, where it is packaged in secretory vesicles. In the secretory vesicles, proteolytic enzymes cleave peptide sequences from the prohormone to produce the final hormone. Other functions of the Golgi apparatus include glycosylation and phosphoryla- tion of the hormone. 5. The final hormone is stored in secretory vesicles until the endocrine cell is stimulated. For example, parathyroid hormone (PTH) is synthesized and stored in vesicles in the chief cells of the parathyroid gland. The stimulus for secretion of PTH is low extracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) concentration. When sensors on the parathyroid gland detect a low extra- cellular Ca 2+ concentration, the secretory vesicles are translocated to the cell membrane, where they extrude PTH into the blood by exocytosis. The other constituents of the secretory vesicles, including

Negative feedback is the most important and common mechanism for regu- lating hormone secretion

Steroid hormones are synthesized and secreted by the adrenal cortex, gonads, corpus luteum, and pla- centa.

The steroid hormones are cortisol, aldosterone, estradiol and estriol, progesterone, testosterone, and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol

All steroid hormones are derivatives of cholesterol

The amine hormones are catecholamines and thyroid hormones

The amine hormones are derivatives of the amino acid tyrosine

In endocrine systems, negative feedback means that some  feature  of  hormone  action,  directly  or  indirectly,  inhibits further secretion of the hormone

Long-loop feedback means that the hormone feeds back all  the  way to the hypothalamic-pituitary axis

The endocrine system is responsible for homeostasis. Growth, devel- opment, reproduction, blood pressure, concentrations of ions and other substances in blood, and even behav- ior are all regulated by the endocrine system.

folic acid supplementation for 3 months prior to conception reduces risk of open neural tube defects (ONTD) by ~70%

individuals at higher risk (epilepsy, pre-gestational diabetes, increased BMI, previous child with NTD) should receive increased doses of folic acid 1-5 mg po od (different guidelines exist) for first 12 weeks of pregnancy

folate supplementation is generally continued throughout pregnancy and for 4-6 weeks postpartum (or while breastfeeding)

productive arguments use [...] tense, the language of choices and decisions.

Answer someone who expresses doubt about your idea with “Okay, let’s tweak it.”

Now focus the argument on revising your idea as if the group had already accepted it.

This is a form of concession

Rhetoric is the art of influence, friendship, and eloquence, of ready wit and irrefutable logic. And it harnesses the most powerful of social forces, argument.

SYNCRISIS: Reframes an argument by redefining it. “Not manipulation— instruction.”

“commonplace”; is one of the building blocks of persuasion.

The Romans were using the “But wait, there’s more” pitch a couple of millennia before infomercials. They gave it a delectable name: dirimens copulatio, meaning “a joining that interrupts.” It’s a form of amplification, an essential rhetorical tactic that turns up the volume as you speak. In a presentation, you can amplify by layering your points: “Not only do we have this, but we also …”

The most effective rhetoric disguises its art.

Arguments grand prize is the consensus

​Rhetorical device of pretending to refuse.

The oh-you-shouldnt-have figure.

Pretend disinterest, while actually desiring it. (akkismos affectation).

Accismus is showing disinterest in something while secretly wanting it. It's a form of irony where one pretends indifference and refuses something while actually wanting it.

In Aesop's fable, the fox pretends he doesn't care for the grapes. Caesar, in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, is reported as not accepting the crown.

the accismus -- a fake refusal -- makes you look like less of a jerk than you really are.

Quote: "Mum can’t talk to you now; she’s just got the Pulitzer surprise." Nine-year-old son of Geraldine Brooks, author of the prizewinning book “March,” in USA Today.

Figure of Speech: malapropism(MAL-a-prop-ism) or acyrologia (a-keer-o-LO-gia), the fortunate mix-up.

Brooks’ Civil War novel won the Pulitzer, beating a better-known Civil War book by E.L. Doctorow (titled, coincidentally, The March).

So credit Brooks fils with an excellent malapropism. It’s an eponym named for the addlebrained literary character, Mrs. Malaprop. But credit the Greeks for coining the figure two and a half millennia before. The acyrologia ("unauthorized speech") swaps a word with a like-sounding but fortuitously wrong substitute.

As good as young Master Brooks is with the figure, its reigning master is Yogi Berra.

Quote: "Well, I think they're just engaging in politics." White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan

Figure of Speech: ad hominem (add HOM in em), the character attack.

Looks like Karl Rove is back in the saddle. After a couple of weeks of uncomfortable forthrightness, the White House is back in campaign, i.e., attack, mode.

At yesterday's press briefing, a reporter asked McClellan to comment on some Senators' concerns about "unchecked invasions of privacy," given the revelation that the White House ignored legally established secret courts to spy on American citizens. Instead of answering the question, McClellan attacked the Senators' motive. The president used the same words in a speech yesterday.

In logic, that's a fallacy. In political debate, it's a given. But, guys, can we have a debate?

Snappy Answer: "Unlike the White House. Ask Karl Rove."
