meng once said that if u want good karma u shouldn't do things with the thought of only doing it only for the karma.
and still

i feel so uncomfortable and out of my own skin without it.
i really hope i left it at work and didn't lose it

Pair
'in blackjack when you get a perfect pair,
you call it luck
but in real life when you find your perfect pair,
you call it a miracle'
-mh
i wonder if the words repair and pair are related.
like,
to repair a broken heart you'd pair the two pieces together.

Omission
'it's what you don't say
that i care about.'

Your random word is: omission
I really hope i did well for Auditing.

"Information is material if its omission or misstatement could influence the decision-making of users taken on the basis of the financial statements."

Communicate
'because sometimes we just need someone to talk to.'
-mh
the lack of my methods of communication does not change my study habits
just makes me watch all these movies i've been missing out on

ANHB
I need to know:
- the WTH ratio in adult human females is the result of a naturally selected pattern of fat deposition for more successful reproduction in women and is the basis of a sexually selected preference trait in males for a WTH ratio of 0.7
- according to hamilton's rule, for the kin selection of "altruistic" behavior there needs to be more benefit to the recipient, or less cost to the actor, if the actor and the recipient have a lower coefficient of relatedness
- there is no backflow from the left ventricle into the left atrium during systole because the left atrio-ventricular valve is closed during systole
- blood flow into capillaries is controlled by the contraction and relaxation of precapillary arterioles
- the heart muscle is supplied with arterial blood by the right and left coronary arteries
- bile is stored in the gallbaldder
- enterocytes are important for absorption of nutritional molecules in the small and large intestine
- the liver produces and secretes most of the serum proteins
- the nephron is the smallest morphological and functional unit of the kidney
- a thirsty person usually has increased secretion of ADH by the pituitary gland
- the parasympathetic nervous system plays a role on the contraction of the muscle of the urinary bladder
- pygmies and nilotic africans are both adapted to hot climates
- humans who move from a cold climate to a hot one, greatly increase their sweating capacity after a few weeks
- different characters produce different racial classifications
- the bronchial circulation delivers systemic blood to lung tissues
- activation of stretch receptors in the lungs causes inhibition of inspiration
- the upper airway usually collapses at the pharynx in sleep apnoea
- sleep loss results in prolonged reaction times
- sensory fibers are found in motor nerves, axons reach muscles via ventral roots and spinal nerves, the pattern of nervous control reflects developmental organization, a motor unit is one axon and all the muscle fibers it supplies
- somatic sensation can be accurately localised
- the autonomic nervous system innvervates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands
- neuroglia are the supporting cells of the nervous system
- segmental organisations of the nervous system is most obvious in the spinal cord
- grey matter in the spinal cord contains nerve cell bodies
- the rate of genetic drift is inversely related to effective population size
- natural selection is adaptive
- in HIV infection, the HLA system in humans is under the force of heterozygote advantage
- most genetic daa supports the single origin model of early human evolution
- given a constant value of heritability for a particular trait, if the co-efficient of relationship declines, the correlation coefficient decreases
- steroid hormone receptors can become activated transcription factors when bound by a hormone
- catch-up growth is an example of a compensatory response
- association and linkage studies identify minor gene effects in complex traits
- in polygenic traits, the mode of inheritance is hard to distinguish
- hypothalamic neurons do not secret gonadotrophins directly into the blood
- triglycerides are not made up of three glycerol molecules plus one fatty acid
- activation of PPAR-δ is unlikely to reduce the long-term effects of ageing
- senescence is not due exclusively to the downstream effects of oxidative stress
- viewed from the front the two vemues of an adult are not parallel from hip to knee
- adult human femurs have longer necks than those of apes
- premature babies can have difficulty breathing because they lack surfactant in their alveoli
- continuous positive airwaves pressure is the gold-standard treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea
- obstructive sleep apnoea is associated with daytime hypertension
- the sinoatrial node of the heart is located in the wall of the right atrium
- the pulmonary trunk does not supply or drain the heart itself
- once filtered by the glomerulus, the primary urine is collected by the proximal convoluted tubule
- urine that is produced by the kidney is not further concentrated by the renal pelvis
- the pancreas does not secrete biliary salts for the emulsification of fat molecules to support chemical digestion in the small intestine
- the colon does not secrete digestive enzymes for the digestion of waste products
- T-lymphocytes do not contribute to the body's first line of defence
- T-lymphocytes are not phagocytic cells
- single nucleotide polymorphisms are a rare DNA variation
- the hardy-weinberg formula is: (p+q)² = 1
- the direction of genetic drift cannot be predicted (random fluctuations/sampling result in RGD)
- a high mutation rate is not a prerequisite for Natural Selection to occur in a population
- the coefficient of inbreeding is the probability that at a locus, an individual receives two genes identical by descent
- heritability is the ratio of genetic variance to genotypic variance (H = Vg/Vp, where Vp = Vg+Ve)
- the rooting reflect facilitates nursing by an infant
- sexual dimorphism is an adaptive response to the evolution of larger brains
- early birth does not allow human females to reproduce more rapidly
- sexual dimorphism in the human pelvis does not result from sexual selection
- the anterior pituitary gland is supplied by blood vessels draining the hypothalamus
- the stress response results in a rapid increase in adrenal catecholamine secretion
- more than just the products of glucose metabolism can enter the krebs cycle
- leptin does not inhibit metabolic rate
- maximal growth occurs during the pre-natal stage
- androgen supplementation is not a common therapy in aged men
- the lumbar region of the spinal cord has 5 pairs of nerves emerging from it
- the hypothalamus has a centre for temperature regulation
- the vagus nerve supplies sensory, motor and parasympathetic fibers to the areas it innvervates
- lumbar puncture involves taking CSF from the lumbar region
- anterior divisions of a limb plexus supply the flexor compartment
- the dorsal column tract is an ascending spinal cord tract
- there are many features of homo sapiens that indicate it evolved in a tropical environment
- genes can be transmitted vertically and horizontally along with culture
- natural selection has not been able to decrease the frequency of deleterious genes that are only expressed in people over 50 years in age
- sometimes siblings have been classified into different races
- i hate human biology

Subway
'I get on the subway and take a seat.
Legs crossed, I take out my book and start to read.
As I turn the page, I peak over my book to see a girl,
a pretty girl, no less, with her soft brown hair gently resting upon her shoulders
and her eyes perfectly accentuated by a subtle yet mastferul use of a dark eyeliner.
I cannot help but stare, and allow my eyes to linger a bit longer than appropriable.
She notices this, and looks at me.
As our eyes meet I smile, and instinctively, she smiles back.
It is at this moment I smirk and slowly shake my head, with an air of disgust.
As I bring up my book to continue where I had left off,
she looks down to quickly inspect herself, noticeably confused.
Noticing nothing wrong or out of the ordinary, she sits in silence,
embarrased and self-conscious, wondering what had just happened.
As she gets off the subway, she takes one last quick glance back at me.
I do not acknowledge her departure as I continue to read.
As the doors close and the subway train heads to its next destination,
I smile to myself.
Riding subways is fun.'

Trebuchet
'You built your wall tall and strong,
so I tried to knock it down.
I ran myself into it, but your wall would not crumble.
I tried using arrows, but your wall would not crumble.
Then a battering ram, but your wall would not crumble.
But then I saw, with such surprise,
A gate in your wall,
It was open this entire time.
I stood there staring at the inviting entrance.
Maybe this trebuchet will knock your wall down.'
