For information about records for non-Christian religions in Denmark, go to the Religious Records page.
The official Church of Denmark is Evangelical Lutheran which is stated in the 4th paragraph of the Danish Constitution. Religion plays a role in the lives of the Danish during events such as births and deaths. But like other Scandinavian countries, Denmark is largely secularized, and with the exceptions of occasions such as births and deaths, religion does not play a large part in public life. Still, approximately 80-85% of Danes are members of the Church of Denmark with about 5% of Evangelical Lutherans attending weekly services. In Copenhagen, around 66% of the population is counted among the church membership. Roughly 13% do not adhere to any particular religious belief.[1]
Religious freedom is strong in Denmark and many faiths can be found there. In addition to the Church of Denmark, 3% of the population is Roman Catholic and 2% are Muslim. [2] A small percentage adheres to the Old Norse religion which was established in the Middle Ages by the Vikings.
Some of the most common denominations have been:
In Denmark, the Reformation took a strong foothold, resulting in the near extinction of Catholicism in Denmark. The few vestiges that did hold on, were in the larger cities, including Copenhagen. The church records kept by the Catholic Church are nearly identical to the Lutheran church records. They consist mainly of christenings, marriages, and burials, and a few miscellaneous records such as confirmations. One of the few differences is that the occurance of the Latin alphabet and language is a lot more frequent than in the Lutheran records.
Church records [Kirkebøger] are excellent sources for accurate information on names, dates, and places of births, marriages, and deaths. Virtually every person who lived in Denmark was recorded in a church record.
Records of births, marriages, and deaths are commonly called vital records because critical events in a person's life are recorded in them. Church records are vital records made by the clergy. They are often referred to as parish registers or churchbooks. They include records of baptisms [Dåb], marriages [Giftemål], and burials [Begravelser]. In addition, church records may also include introductions, communions, absolutions, church accounts, confirmations, and lists of people moving into or out of the parish.
|You Can Use this Record to Find...
On May 20, 1645 King Christian IV sent a royal decree to the Bishop of Sjælland with instruction to have the ministers keep a record of births, marriages, and deaths. The following year, the same decree was issued to the Bishops of Jylland, Skåne, and Fyn, along with the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Some pastors began keeping records much earlier than this. The earliest parish record is for the city of Naksov, beginning in 1572.
Early on the Danish government recognized only the Evangelical Lutheran Church, with a few exceptions. The Reformed church was given official rights on 15 May 1747. The existing Mosaic (Jewish) congregations were officially recognized on 29 March 1814. The Catholics were served by the clergy attached to the Austrian Embassy. In the city of Fredericia, which enjoyed religious freedom from 1682, Catholic registers started in 1685.
Beginning in 1849, the Danish constitution recognized Christian dissenter churches. It did, however, require that everyone from all denominations notify the pastor of their local Lutheran parish of all births and death.
To guard against possible destruction or loss of church books, duplicate records were kept in separate places after 1814.
At first the record-keeping requirement was limited to baptisms, marriages, and burials. Confirmation registers of many parishes date from as early as 1736.
Until a standard form was established in 1814, no directions were given on how to keep church records. Before that date, the records vary greatly.
See also Parish Register Headings.
Children were generally christened within a few days of birth. Christening registers usually give the infant's and parents' names, status of legitimacy, names of witnesses and godparents (and often their residences), and the christening date. You may also find the child's birth date, the father's occupation, and the family's place of residence. Earlier registers typically give less information, sometimes listing only the child's and father's names and the christening date. See article: Denmark: Birth / Christening Records for additional information.
For more information about illegitimate births, see the article Paternity Cases in Denmark.
Some records have been indexed and are available on FamilySearch at Denmark Baptisms, 1618-1923. The article Denmark Baptisms - FamilySearch Historical Records describes the content of the collection.
See also Parish Register Headings.
Starting in 1736, the Danish church required that young people be instructed in Lutheran catechism and pass a test before taking their first communion. This usually took place between the ages of 14 and 17 years old.
Confirmation records kept during the 1700s generally lists the person's name, residence, and sometimes his or her age. After 1814, the parents' names, christening date and place, performance grade, and date of smallpox vaccination also appear. See article: Denmark: Confirmation Records for additional information.
See also Parish Register Headings.
Marriage registers give the marriage date and the names of the bride and groom and their respective residences. The record usually indicates whether they were single or widowed and gives the names of witnesses.
After 1814, the registers often include other information about the bride and groom, such as ages, occupations, names of fathers, and sometimes birthplaces.
Marriage records sometimes give the date of engagement and the three dates on which the marriage intentions were announced. These announcements, called banns, gave the opportunity for anyone to come forward who knew of any reason why the couple should not be married. Couples were generally married in the bride's home parish. Typically, the bride and groom were in their twenties when they married. See article: Denmark: Engagement and Marriage Records for additional information.
Some records have been indexed and are available on FamilySearch at Denmark Marriages, 1635-1916. The article Denmark Marriages - FamilySearch Historical Records describes the content of this collection.
See also Parish Register Headings.
These are records of persons moving in and out of the parish. Earliest records begin in 1814. In some cities these records do no begin until 1850 and often not all. The contain the name of person arriving at or leaving the parish, former and new residences, marital status, sometimes date and place of birth, relationships.
Burials were recorded in the church record of the parish where the person was buried. The burial usually took place within a few days of the death.
Burial registers give the deceased's name, death or burial date and place, and age. After 1814, the place of residence, cause of death, and names of survivors are often listed. Occasionally the deceased's birth date and place and parents' names are given. Between the second half of the 1700's till about 1800, the church death records may help you greatly in organizing families. At this time, death records often were quite lengthy documents giving names and detailed information regarding the survivors of the deceased.
Burial records may exist for individuals who were born before the earliest birth and marriage records. Stillbirths were usually recorded in church burial registers. See article: Denmark: Death / Burial Records for additional information.
Some records have been indexed and are available on FamilySearch at Denmark Burials, 1640-1917. The article Denmark Burials - FamilySearch Historical Records describes the content of this collection.
See also Parish Register Headings.
Communion – name of person receiving communion, residence, sometimes relationships.
Confirmation – name, residence name of one or both parents; often prior to 1814 only the name and age of the child being confirmed is listed, but after 1814 the child's age, christening or birth date are commonly listed, sometimes also names of parents, or name of employer.
Absolutions (early to 1767) – name of person absolved for transgression; residence; sometimes names of other persons involved, for example the father may be identified in the case of an illegitimate birth.
Index – in Denmark and Norway, from 1812 to 1814, many church books included an index near the back of the book containing the names of those included in the records. See the artcile Scandinavia Index for more information.
For more information about illegitimate births, see the article Paternity Cases in Denmark.
Parish Register Transcripts: (1814 to present) [Kirkebogsuddrag] – Entries are similar to those in the original parish registers; they cover losses in parish registers, often they include additional details not listed in the originals including birth dates of the bride and groom. NOTE: From 1814, general indexes were supposed to be kept in each parish with reference to christenings, confirmations, marriages, deaths, arrivals and removals. All these records are kept together in parishes and provincial archives.
To do effective research in church records, you must determine the parish that your ancestor's farm or village belonged to. To do so, see the postal guide listed in the "Gazetteers" section. Parish boundary maps can help you determine which parish church records to search. They can also help you identify neighboring parishes if you need to search more than one parish in a region. For more information, see the article Denmark Maps.
Microfilm copies of the records have been scanned and are available online at several sites.
FamilySearch has published partial indexes to the church records. They can be found at
Arne Julin has published online Registre til København kirkebøger
Johan Carl Louis Lengnick (1796-1865) published 77 volumes listing persons using fixed surnames or persons with high social standing using patronymic surnames. These individuals are grouped by parish, and there is a separate index of names for each parish. See the FamilySearch Catalog for a list of available works.
The Royal Danish Library has digitized Genealogier over adelige og borgerlige Familier. A list of them is available on the Danish Genealogical Society's Forum under the topic J.C.L. Lengnicks trykte stamtavler som PDF (11 bind).
As the Evangelical Lutheran Church (Den Danske Folkekirke) became the official religion of Denmark after the Reformation in 1536, records not currently in use are deposited at the National Archives (Rigsarkivet). For information about records still held by the parish contact the local parish. Contact information can be found on the Danske Folkekirken's website.

Well, that's really all I have to say for this post. I guess I have been at a loss for words lately! :D It probably has something to do with this pregnancy. Today was a rough day. Not only was I sick but I was dizzy too. YUCK! I am so ready for 2nd tri to be here! Anyway, enjoy your Thursday! We have our church small group tonight, something I always look forward too! Hopefully I start feeling better so that I can actually enjoy it! Bye, bye for now!

Recognized your name on Karen's SSSC links and have missed you at the Verve Release parties (though it does make winning some Verve a bit easier now LOL!) so thought I'd pop over.
It's been killing me to know if you are preggers yet (you mentioned being in the trying stage the last release party you were at) and lone behold you post confirmed it :D So sorry to hear you are feeling sick. I lucked out on both my pregnancies with no morning sickness at all (not that you want to hear that right now... sorry). It's all worth it in the end, trust me :D Holding that new born life that God has created and blessed you with is a feeling I will never forget.
Oh, and darling card too :D

These Are The Best Vitamins, Minerals, & Herbs For Sleep
A lot of sleep-deprived patients come to me looking for a quick fix for their restless, sleepless nights. It pains me to say it, but I often have to tell them that there's no silver bullet that instantly solves sleep problems. Sometimes, there's an underlying medical condition that needs attention. For healthy people, sleeping well is the product of a lot of small but important everyday decisions. Eating healthfully, exercising regularly, managing stress, and sticking to regular bedtimes and wake times are the foundation of good sleep hygiene.
Supplements can also play a role in improving sleep. I get asked all the time about what supplements I think work best to create better nightly rest. I've put together this list of my top recommendations for natural sleep remedies. There are no silver bullets on this list. But used in conjunction with smart sleep routines, these are the supplements I see making real improvements to my patients' sleep:
1. Magnesium
I talk often with my patients about the importance of magnesium, and its critical, underrecognized, role in sleep and overall health. Unfortunately, it's thought that about half of adults in the United States are deficient in this essential macro-mineral. In addition, we're more inclined to have low magnesium as we age, and women are particularly vulnerable to magnesium deficiency.
People with low magnesium often experience restless sleep, which means that replenishing the body's magnesium can be helpful for sleep. Magnesium plays a role in supporting deep, restorative sleep by maintaining healthy levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and a good night's rest. Research indicates supplemental magnesium can improve sleep quality, especially in people who sleep poorly. Magnesium can also help insomnia that's linked to the sleep disorder restless leg syndrome. This mineral can also ease symptoms of both mild-to-moderate anxiety and mild-to-moderate depression, which in turn may help you rest better.
2. Melatonin
It's no surprise that melatonin makes my list. This hormone, produced naturally by the body in response to darkness, is essential for sleep. Melatonin does not work as a sedative. Instead, it promotes sleep by helping to regulate the body's sleep-wake cycles. That makes it easier to sleep on a regular schedule—and consistency is a cornerstone of healthy sleep. Research shows that melatonin can help you fall asleep faster, sleep longer, and improve the quality of your sleep. Studies also show melatonin may increase REM sleep. Melatonin can be helpful in reducing the impact of jet lag: Take this supplement about 90 minutes before you want to sleep, and follow your night's rest with some light exposure first thing the next morning. Melatonin can be taken every day, especially if you have a melatonin deficiency, which often occurs as you get older.
3. Valerian and hops
Both valerian and hops have well-documented benefits for sleep and long histories of use as natural sleep aids. Why am I talking about them together? They're frequently paired in therapeutic use. Hops appears to work most effectively for sleep when it is used in conjunction with valerian. Valerian and hops both have mildly sedative effects that can make it easier to fall asleep, reduce symptoms of insomnia, and increase overall sleep time. These two herbs also function as anxiolytics—anxiety reducers—that elevate levels of GABA, an important brain chemical for sleep and relaxation.
Related Class
It seems like CBD oil is everywhere these days, doesn't it? CBD is a cannabinoid, a group of chemical compounds found in cannabis—which includes both marijuana and hemp—that have captured a lot of attention for their benefits in the treatment of pain and disease. Unlike THC, another well-known cannabinoid, CBD does not have any mind-altering effects. Instead, CBD is one of the most calming and stress-reducing of the natural compounds derived from the cannabis plant. New research shows CBD can significantly reduce insomnia symptoms.
CBD also can ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and pain—all of which often interfere with sleep. I was especially encouraged to see this new study showing CBD can exert calming and anxiety- and stress-reducing effects without causing changes to healthy sleep-wake cycles. CBD is available in supplement capsule form and also as an oil, cream, or in the form of Epsom salts that you can add to your bath. While some people report that CBD promotes wakefulness, I have at least a dozen patients on CBD to help with their sleep and none of them have had that issue.
5. Jujube
Jujube is densely packed with nutrients—so much so that this small, shrublike plant has been used for centuries as a natural remedy to treat insomnia, anxiety, gastrointestinal problems, and pain. I often recommend jujube as a supplement for my patients with insomnia or other sleep issues. I find jujube especially effective for people whose insomnia and other sleep problems are related to stress and anxiety.
One of the strongest benefits of jujube is its ability to calm the mind, quiet neural activity, and help induce and sustain sleep. Scientific studies show jujube extends sleep time in mice. Both flavonoids and saponins—bioactive compounds found in jujube—have been shown to increase sleep time. One of the flavonoids in jujube can increase time spent in slow-wave sleep and REM sleep, the two most restorative stages of sleep.
6. L-theanine
L-theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves. While tea is the most common dietary source for L-theanine, this compound is also found in some types of mushrooms. (In foods, particularly green tea, L-theanine is thought to be a source of umami, the savory, brothy taste.) L-theanine elevates levels of GABA, as well as serotonin and dopamine, neurochemicals that regulate emotions, mood, concentration, alertness, and sleep, as well as appetite, energy, and other cognitive skills. At the same time it is increasing chemicals that promote feelings of calm, L-theanine also reduces levels of chemicals in the brain that are linked to stress and anxiety.
L-theanine appears to trigger production of alpha waves in the brain, which enhance relaxation, focus, and creativity. One of the appealing aspects of L-theanine is that it works to relax without sedating. That can make L-theanine a good choice for people who are looking to enhance their "wakeful relaxation" without worrying about becoming sleepy and fatigued during the day. With its ability to increase relaxation and lower stress, L-theanine can help people fall asleep more quickly and easily at bedtime. Research also shows L-theanine can improve the quality of sleep.
7. Magnolia bark
Magnolia bark has a centuries-long history in traditional medicine as a stress-reliever, anxiety-soother, and sleep-promoter. Like other natural remedies on this list, magnolia bark extract works to increase GABA activity in the brain. GABA is important for sleep, and people with reduced GABA activity are prone to insomnia and other sleep problems. Research shows at least one bioactive compound in magnolia bark can increase the amount of time you spend in both REM sleep and NREM sleep and reduce the time it takes you to fall asleep. Magnolia bark's ability to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol also make it an effective natural sleep aid for people who tend to be wired and anxious at night.
8. 5-Hydroxytryptophan
5-Hydroxytryptophan—commonly known as 5-HTP—is a compound made naturally in the body. 5-HTP is created as a by-product of the amino acid L-tryptophan. Our bodies don't make L-tryptophan naturally—we absorb this essential amino acid from the foods we eat. 5-HTP is produced as a supplement from the seeds of a plant, Griffonia simplicfolia.
5-HTP helps the body produce more serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood and sleep-wake cycles. Because of its role in creating serotonin, 5-HTP is indirectly involved in producing melatonin, a hormone that is critical for sleep. Melatonin helps the body's bio clock stay in sync and regulates daily sleep-wake cycles. A strong bio clock and regular sleep-wake routines are the cornerstone of healthy, restful, rejuvenating sleep. Research suggests that 5-HTP may help shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and increase sleep amounts. 5-HTP can be effective in improving mood and easing symptoms of stress and anxiousness, which can, in turn, interfere with sleep. 5-HTP may also be effective in helping to reduce sleep terrors in children.
GABA is a substance that is produced naturally in the brain, and can be in supplement format (like melatonin). GABA is a neurotransmitter I call the "Brakes of the Brain" because when your body produces it, your central nervous system slows down, which makes a person feel more relaxed, and in many cases sleepy. In fact, most of the current sleep aids increase GABA levels in the brain!
The body's own GABA activity is important for sleep. GABA enables the body and mind to relax and fall asleep, and sleep soundly throughout the night. Low GABA activity is linked to insomnia and disrupted sleep. Many of the other supplements I have written about in this article effect internal GABA ( L-Theanine, Magnesium, and Valarian) as well. GABA can be found naturally in many different foods or there are some foods that boost GABA production (fermented foods like sauerkraut are one good example). There is debate about how GABA supplements work in the body, and how the mechanisms of action may differ from the body's own internally-produced GABA. But like CBD, GABA helps reduce anxiety, which could be beneficial for sleep.
10. Glycine
You might not know it by name, but the tiny amino acid glycine is hard at work in your body right now, maintaining strength and support in your muscles and bones, helping keep your metabolism functioning right, supporting a healthy brain, and contributing to a good night's sleep. Glycine (also known as 2-Aminoacetic Acid) is an amino acid and a neurotransmitter. The body produces glycine on its own, synthesized from other natural biochemicals, most often serine but also choline and threonine. We also consume glycine through food. This amino acid is found in high-protein foods including meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and legumes. A daily diet typically includes about 2 grams of glycine.
Research shows oral glycine elevates serotonin, reduces symptoms of insomnia, and improves sleep quality. Glycine can help you bounce back to healthy sleep cycles after a period of disrupted sleep. A recent study of the effects of glycine as a supplement showed it triggered a drop in body temperature and at the same time helped people both fall asleep more quickly and spend more time in REM sleep. And glycine may help you move more quickly into deep, slow wave sleep.
I hope you find a right-fit sleep supplement for yourself on this list. Remember, sleep problems don't typically appear overnight, which means they don't disappear instantly either. It can often take a few weeks for the effects of a supplement to appear. Be patient, and pack your days (and nights) with plenty of sleep-supporting habits. You'll be sleeping better sooner than you think!

Mayakkam Enna is a lot about what Selvaraghavan refuses to show us. For example as soon as the second half begins there is a remarkable plot accelerator. I loved that. All the menial aspects of getting to a story milestone were dispensed off with. The story just gets to the point. Then there is another twist that elevates this from a happy-go-lucky movie to something serious. Not that the first half was by any means less good. It dabbles decently on the subject of making a career out of your passion versus having a career and no passion. My wife does not like Selvaraghavan because he has 'vakkra buddhi'. Maybe she has seen more Selvaraghavan movies than I have. But I like his perversion. This movie has a softer version of the same 'vakkra buddhi' seen in Pudhupettai. In that movie the ape just grabs the female from another male. This movie had splendid opportunity to explore this sort of forbidden love. But it plays it down.
What I didn't like about Mayakkam Enna was the angst part. Dhanush's angst wasn't brought out well. The movie spends a lot of time in trying to show it. But it comes off as a little superficial. Instead of showing the angst of a talented wildlife photographer being screwed out of a career, Dhanush shows the angst of a 8th fail boy who has been deprived of a great opportunity to stick Rajinikanth movie posters on the walls of public toilets. Angst has class too. The nick name 'genius' exists for no particular reason. Similarly if in the first half Selva was planning on showing 'carpe diem' as the reason why Richa falls in love with Dhanush then it doesnt come off well. Maybe he wasn't and I was imagining stuff with all that talk about passion and career. I almost felt like the reverse psychology of 'he hates me so much, I gotta love him' was what made Richa fall in love.
I didn't like all this dating, 'I have bought a ring to propose to her' kind of stuff. I also didn't like the 5-6 friends being so close that they live , eat, cry, fry, shit and die together kind of stuff as well. It felt artificial. It seems a little Amerikka wannabe. People who say 'it really happens in India' probably like to think it happens more often than it really does. Even if it really happens, it is so amerikka wannabe that it is an unpleasant sight. There is a cliche with 'wild life photography' being a sole example of having a different career. But since this is the first main stream movie to touch it - I guess we will have to wait until Nanban before really calling it a cliche. I suspect this career will become something like 'I want to be an astronaut' that all 3rd standard kids reply when asked about career choices. The market size for this sort of employment is in single digits yet every school child wants to become one.

Rained Out
Toronto's game against Cincinnati in Sarasota was rained out on Friday afternoon. Roy Halladay was scheduled to start, but he'll pitch in a Minor League game on Saturday now. Lefty Gustavo Chacin's regularly scheduled turn is also on Saturday, when the Jays host the Tigers. Toronto plans on holding Chacin back, though, since he's slated to start the third game against Detroit in the season's opening series.
Halladay, A.J. Burnett and Chacin will start the Jays' first three games. A starter for the fourth game hasn't been announced, but Halladay is scheduled to pitch in the fifth game of the year on Saturday, April 7 at Tampa Bay. That means the Jays won't need a fifth starter until April 8. That also means Burnett would be the starter for Toronto's home opener on April 9.
UPDATE: Blue Jays pitcher Gustavo Chacin was arrested early Friday morning for driving under the influence in Tampa, Fla.
Toronto confirmed a report on SI.com that said the left-hander was stopped by Tampa Police at 3:43 a.m. ET and booked on the misdemeanor charge. Police reports indicated that Chacin's blood alcohol level measured .150, which is much higher than the legal limit of .08. The pitcher was released on a $500 bond.
"The club is aware of the situation, but for us to say anything at this time would be premature," a team offifical said Friday night.

Do you remember seeing if Rios is still using that shin guard? I remember during the first few games of ST that Gibbons told him to use it and it didn't bother him running the bases
What legal implications do you think are waiting for Gustavo? Are we going to see him continue his spring training schedule and cross the border North with the Jays normally?
I'm not sure if the team will hand out its own punishment to Chacin or not, and we don't have all the details yet on th legal implications. So you'll just have to stay tuned I guess. I'm off today, but the guy covering for me will probably be getting some more info — if the Jays have any more to give yet.
How do you think this affects Chacin's status as the #3 starter? With many other pitchers throwing so well, could Chacin not make the rotation?
I personally doubt this will affect Chacins chances at the rotation. If its his first offence he will probably get a slap on the wrist. Everyone makes mistakes, hopefully he learns from it. Being a professional athlete im sure he can afford a good lawyer to look after him.
Along the lines of pitching, now that were about half way through spring training, I was wondering what peoples thoughts were on who they think should win the rotation spots? Personally, I would like to see Zambrano and Towers for #4 and #5. Its all so close right now though. Ohka and Thompson have both had good and bad outings. Its going to be a tough descision to make, but its a good problem to have.
I don't really know what to make of Toronto's rotation so far. However, I am starting to believe that Chacin is not a number three starter. Rather, he would be a more productive 4th or even 5th starter. Your thoughts?

your post on The Paris Gourmet. Fantastique! Where can I buy the book in Paris? Do you think WH Smith have it?ReplyDelete
Many thanks for the great advice. I find that you are always in the know about things, while I'm totally clueless - until I get your posts. But by then, I've missed the event/market/exhibit/fete, etc. The Duck thing? I saw posters for that everywhere and had no clue what it was - until I got your post. The food fete on Alma (right in my neighborhood)? No clue until your post. What guides or sources do you use to get info on what's happening?

Your have a fluid way of writing, I enjoyed reading it. I like how you incorporate your sketches into your blog. Nice wall pieces to perk the interest. Have been working on finishing touches to my paintings. Have decided that I need to carry a small sketch book with me to try quick ideas as you do. Keep up the good work.ReplyDelete
While in Paris I really savored the taste of a breakfast crepe made to order at the open market on Sunday in the Bastille section of Paris. Hope you have had a chance to try it.
Sybil, artist, cyclist
That's what I call research!ReplyDelete
You're very lucky to have found the book & that neighborhood. Lots of delicious looking food there :)
This looks like a fabulous book! I have to get a copy so that I am ready to try some new places on my next trip!ReplyDelete
This looks great Carol, thanks for the headsup! I know I'll need to read this before the next trip.ReplyDelete
Yet another one to add to the shelf -- it looks terrific! And good luck with the watercolor lessons!ReplyDelete
Love this blog. An love being in Paris, of course.ReplyDelete
I jumped online and ordered this book because who couldn't use another foodie book about Paris! It's a fun, well-organized food tour through Paris and the dog-eared pages are adding up fast! Thanks for the rec. x KatieReplyDelete
Scrumptious photographs, but I'm afraid I have to admit that I cannot buy or eat a fish that still has its head on it.ReplyDelete
Reading this post makes me feel exactly like that furry guy outside - looking in!ReplyDelete

This question already has an answer here:
We all carry two copies of each gene (outside of male sex chromosomes). If the two differ from each other often one is dominant and one recessive. How does this mechanism work on a molecular level? What mechanism determines which gene gets expressed?

More quotes from CU and Arizona after Buffs Pac-12 tournament title
"To say I'm proud of these guys is probably the biggest understatement I've ever made," CU coach Tad Boyle said. "It wasn't easy. But I'm telling you, before this game, we talked about it as a group. If you believe in destiny, you believe in the Colorado Buffaloes because it was meant to be for us."
"We didn't finish the game very strong, we turned it over, missed some free throws," Boyle said. "But you rely on your defense. We beat this Arizona team in Boulder the same way, with a (defensive) stop. It's appropriate it ended that way."
"It's hard to explain in words what it means," said Dufault, a senior. "There have been so many ups and downs for the last four years. The tough ones have only made me a better person, along with my teammates. We couldn't have gotten to this point without going through the ups and downs."
On getting the 12-point lead early in the second half:
"We came out in the second half being aggressive, executing on offense and defense. Guys were making plays. Guys were making the right reads."
"Last year was definitely a heartbreak. I still have the picture on my phone just to remind me, even thought I didn't contribute (while sitting out as a transfer from Utah), I still understand how it felt. I told these guys at halftime, there is nothing like the feeling of winning a tournament championship and cutting down the nets. I'm the only person that's been to the NCAA Tournament (with the Utes). I know how it feels. I wanted these guys to feel it."
"I can make the argument that there's been no greater gift to college basketball in the Pac-12 than adding Colorado," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "They are well-coached, play extremely hard, very good on defense. I feel like they have some really talented players coming in (with the incoming recruiting class). I wish them the very best in the NCAA Tournament. Whoever draws them is running into a hungry, well-coached, disciplined team."

After being halted for more than a year, land acquisition for the showpiece Rs 52,000-crore Posco steel plant in Odisha resumed on Sunday amid clashes between police and protesters.
The acquisition process for the South Korean steel major's mega project amid tight security in Jagatsinghpur district was marked by claims and counter-claims on the violence following allegations of police crackdown on project opponents and injuries to some villagers due to lathicharge.
"Land acquisition process began in Gobindpur village in the proposed project site near Paradip. It will continue till all betel vineyards of the cultivators willing to hand over their land is completed," District Collector S K Mallick said.
Betel-vines and land of only those who had already given their consent are being acquired, Additional District Magistrate Surjit Das said.
Anti-Posco protesters indulged in stone throwing for sometime damaging at least five vehicles of the police and administration, sources said, adding police sealed all the entry points to Gobindapur.
They also sealed the Gobindapur-Dhinkia road. Protesters from nearby areas like Ersama, Kujang and Jagatsinghpur were gathering in order to chalk out their strategy.
Leaders of Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti, agitating against the project since 2005, alleged that police launched a crack down on villagers trying to resist entry of acquisition team into Gobindpur injuring about six people in lathicharge. Das, however, refuted the charge saying no force was used.
Das said the work progressed peacefully and claimed no one was hurt in the incident.
Around 400 police personnel were deployed in the area where anti-Posco activists had been sitting on dharana at Balitikira of Gobindapur for the last 20 days.
As the police personnel cordoned the area, demolition of betel-vines and tree felling was undertaken at Mathsahi locality of Gobindapur. Officials of Odisha's Industrial Infrastructure Corporation and Posco-India were present in the area during the work.
The operation was initially resisted by several anti-Posco agitators who tried to block the acquisition team and police from entering into the village. The protesters were chased away after a brief scuffle, sources said.
PPSS leader Abhay Sahu alleged that some villagers were also detained by the police.
The fresh operation is aimed at acquiring an additional 700 acres of land required for Posco's mega project, the ADM said, adding the administration had earlier taken into possession 2,000 acres.
Land acquisition work had been halted more than a year ago following violence during construction of a coastal road near proposed project site in December, 2011 and formation of human chains by women and children in the area.
Six teams were engaged in the exercise and altogether 22 betel-vines were demolished and about 45 trees cut, the ADM said, adding payment was made immediately.
Accusing the administration of forcibly acquiring land and demolishing betel-vines, CPI leader and MP Bibhu Prasad Tarai, his supporters and other anti-Posco activists staged a dharna at nearby Patna Chhak.
Demanding withdrawal of police force from the area, Tarai said since the villagers are protesting in a peaceful manner there is no need to deploy force.
Meanwhile, CPI workers also staged a demonstration in Bhubaneswar in protest against police deployment in proposed Posco area near Paradip. They demanded immediate withdrawal of police force.

LONDON (MarketWatch)—European stocks moved higher in holiday-type trading on Tuesday, after data showed a surprise improvement in U.S. manufacturing activity, while banks rose after well-received earnings from Lloyds Banking Group PLC.
Most bourses were closed for May Day.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index (SXXP) rose 0.4% to 258.37, after trading with no clear direction for most of the day.
The index was sent higher in afternoon trade as a report showed the U.S. manufacturing sector unexpectedly expanded at a faster pace in April. The Institute for Supply Management's index climbed to 54.8% from 53.4% in March. U.S. stocks reversed direction after the data and traded higher on Wall Street.
In Europe, Chemring Group PLC CMGMF, -2.19% CMGMY, +0.00% posted the biggest gain, with shares surging 20% after the defense company announced a U.S. Army contract worth $161 million. Chemring gets $161M U.S. Army radar-system pact
Also higher, Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RR.) RYCEY, +1.39% gained 3.6% in London. The firm won a $315 million contract from aircraft engine maker Pratt & Whitney to supply the Rolls-Royce LiftSystem for 17 F-35B Lightning II aircraft.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 (UKX) added 1.3% to 5,812.23, with London one of the few European markets open for trade.
The index opened higher, but came shortly off its intraday peak in midmorning trade as data showed manufacturing activity in the U.K. expanded at a slower pace in April. The Markit/CIPS manufacturing purchasing managers' index fell to 50.5 in April from 51.9 in March, below economist expectations.
The manufacturing data confirmed that recovery "will be a long and hard road," said Richard Hunter, head of U.K. equities at Hargreaves Lansdown.
"Things remain the same and there are still concerns about the European debt situation and how to solve it."
"The new month should not make any difference on sentiment and it continues to be driven by economic data. The U.S. reporting season might give markets a [boost], but we are still waiting for the next big thing to turn it around," he added. "Investors are unwilling to commit cash long term and it's a question of getting short-term profits where possible. We almost daily see a mix of risk-on and risk-off trade."
Banks, however, helped lift the U.K. index, with Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LLOY) LYG, +1.67% rallying 8.3% after it reported a first-quarter profit compared with a year-earlier loss.
Net revenue from interest on loans fell 34%, net fee revenue dropped 13%, and revenue from trading jumped. The company said that cost controls, reduced risk and a stronger balance sheet are offsetting a "subdued U.K. economic environment."
HSBC Holdings PLC (HSBA) HBC, -1.51% tracked Lloyds higher and added 1.8%, while Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS) RBS, +1.40% gained 4.2%
Imperial Tobacco Group PLC (IMT) ITYBY also traded higher, up 3.7%, after the company reported higher half-year revenue on the back of price hikes on cigarettes, although profit dropped slightly. Imperial Tobacco half-year profit and volumes fall
British American Tobacco PLC (BATS) BTI, -0.52% rose 1.3%.
Weighing on the British index, BP PLC (BP.) BP, -0.10% dropped 0.8%. The oil group reported a 13% decline in first-quarter adjusted profit to $4.8 billion as production lagged, missing markets earnings expectations. Read more on BP's profit falls 12.8% as production still lags
And shares of Man Group PLC (EMG) MNGPY sank 5.5%. The Investment manager reported a $1 billion net fund outflows in the first quarter as investors' sentiment remained fragile. Read more on Man Group's first-quarter fund outflows total $1 billion.

You can run Web Server in one of the following modes:
Multi-process mode is deprecated for Java technology-enabled servers. Most applications are now multi-threaded, and multi-process mode is usually not needed. However, multi-process mode can significantly improve overall server throughput for NSAPI applications that do not implement fine-grained locking.
In the single-process mode, the server receives requests from web clients to a single process. Inside the single server process, acceptor threads are running that are waiting for new requests to arrive. When a request arrives, an acceptor thread accepts the connection and puts the request into the connection queue. A request processing thread picks up the request from the connection queue and handles the request.
Because the server is multi-threaded, all NSAPI extensions written to the server must be thread-safe. This means that if the NSAPI extension uses a global resource, like a shared reference to a file or global variable, then the use of that resource must be synchronized so that only one thread accesses it at a time. All plug-ins provided with the Web Server are thread-safe and thread-aware, providing good scalability and concurrency. However, your legacy applications might be single-threaded. When the server runs the application, it can only execute one at a time. This leads to server performance problems when put under load. Unfortunately, in the single-process design, there is no real workaround.
You can configure the server to handle requests using multiple processes with multiple threads in each process. This flexibility provides optimal performance for sites using threads, and also provides backward compatibility to sites running legacy applications that are not ready to run in a threaded environment. Because applications on Windows generally already take advantage of multi-thread considerations, this feature applies to UNIX and Linux platforms.
The advantage of multiple processes is that legacy applications that are not thread-aware or thread-safe can be run more effectively in Web Server. However, because all of the Web Server extensions are built to support a single-process threaded environment, they might not run in the multi-process mode. The Search plug-ins fail on startup if the server is in multi-process mode, and if session replication is enabled, the server will fail to start in multi-process mode.
In the multi-process mode, the server spawns multiple server processes at startup. Depending on the configuration, each process contains one or more threads, that receive incoming requests. Since each process is completely independent, each one has its own copies of global variables, caches, and other resources. Using multiple processes requires more resources from your system. Also, if you try to install an application that requires shared state, it has to synchronize that state across multiple processes. NSAPI provides no helper functions for implementing cross-process synchronization.
When you specify a MaxProcs value greater than 1, the server relies on the operating system to distribute connections among multiple server processes (see MaxProcs (UNIX/Linux) for information about the MaxProcs directive). However, many modern operating systems do not distribute connections evenly, particularly when there are a small number of concurrent connections.
Because Web Server cannot guarantee that load is distributed evenly among server processes, you might encounter performance problems if you set Maximum Threads to 1 and MaxProcs greater than 1 to accommodate a legacy application that is not thread-safe. The problem is especially pronounced if the legacy application takes a long time to respond to requests, for example, when the legacy application contacts a back-end database. In this scenario, it might be preferable to use the default value for Maximum Threads and serialize access to the legacy application using thread pools. For more information about creating a thread pool, see thread-pool-init in Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator's Configuration File Reference.
If you are not running any NSAPI in your server, you should use the default settings: one process and many threads. If you are running an application that is not scalable in a threaded environment, you should use a few processes and many threads, for example, 4 or 8 processes and 128 or 512 threads per process.
To run a UNIX or Linux server in multi-process mode, set the MaxProcs directive to a value that is greater than 1. Multi-process mode might provide higher scalability on multi-processor machines and improve the overall server throughput on large systems such as the Sun Fire T2000 server. If you set the value to less than 1, it is ignored and the default value of 1 is used.
Use the MaxProcs directive to improve overall server throughput for the following types of applications:
NSAPI applications that do not implement fine-grained locking
Java applications that do not require session management
Do not use the MaxProcs directive when Web Server performs session management for Java applications.
You can set the value for MaxProcs by editing the MaxProcs parameter in magnus.conf.
You will receive duplicate startup messages when running your server in MaxProcs mode.

Super Bowl XLVII: Ravens vs. 49ers – Who has the edge?
WHEN THE RAVENS RUN THE BALL: Ray Rice is the name everyone recognizes because he's Baltimore's lead back and has great ability to pop a big play. But keep an eye out for Bernard Pierce. He's Baltimore's change-of-pace runner and that change is a bigger, stronger version of Rice with the ability to break a long run as he did in the playoff win over Indianapolis when he had a 43-yard run. Pierce is averaging 6.3 yards per carry in the playoffs — better than either Rice or the 49ers' Frank Gore. The 49ers were among the league's elite defenses in the regular season, and one reason is they stop the run. They were fourth best in the NFL in that category, allowing 94.2 yards per game. The 49ers enjoy forcing their opponents into a pass-oriented approach so they can unleash Aldon Smith and Justin Smith on the quarterback. But when teams are able to work play-action, as the Ravens like to do, it stalls the Niners pass rush. That's the reason it is important for the Ravens to remain balanced, and to do that, they must run effectively. ADVANTAGE: Baltimore.
WHEN THE RAVENS PASS THE BALL: Quarterback Joe Flacco proclaimed himself an elite quarterback earlier this season, but his 22 touchdown passes in the regular season didn't exactly prove the point. His NFL-playoffs-leading eight touchdowns without an interception have made the point in much bolder fashion. Flacco is completing only 54.8 percent of his passes in the playoffs, but he has attacked defenses over the top with deep completions to Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith. Flacco has 15 completions of 20-plus yards and five completions of 40 yards or more during the Ravens' playoff run. Even possession receiver Anquan Boldin's yards per catch average has grown to an impressive 17.3 yards, which is deep-threat average. The 49ers are the best defense Baltimore has faced, and they simply do not allow bombs over their heads with 30 seconds to play in the game, as Denver did. They are a great — not good — tackling defense, and they do a good job of rushing the passer, as well. ADVANTAGE: San Francisco.
WHEN THE 49ERS RUN THE BALL: The San Francisco "Pistol" offense is the latest, hottest thing in the NFL. It is a mixture of the spread option and veer and pro-set. It asks the quarterback — in this case Colin Kaepernick — to not only be an option in the running game, but also actually be the first option of the running game. Let's see how long that lasts in the NFL. Kaepernick, who runs a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, is the perfect catalyst for the attack. The 49ers have also had great success running the look because Kaepernick can hand to Frank Gore, and he's only the franchise's all-time leading rusher. The creative blocking schemes the team uses are executed by an offensive line that boasts three former first-round draft picks and has been together for a while. If the Pistol can be stopped, the Ravens are a good bet to be the team to do it. They have had two weeks to figure it out. The Ravens looked at what the St. Louis Rams did in two games against San Francisco. The Rams were 1-0-1 against San Francisco this season and quite successful in playing assignment football on defense. If the Ravens can keep their gap and assignment discipline, they might force the 49ers to become one-dimensional. That's what Baltimore wants to do. ADVANTAGE: San Francisco.
WHEN THE 49ERS PASS THE BALL: No, Colin Kaepernick is not a classic passer. His motion is a bit jerky, and he doesn't always have good footwork. He is largely still unproven because Super Bowl XLVII will be only his 10th career start. But the second-year player is on fire in the playoffs. His 105.9 quarterback rating is the second-best of any playoff quarterback. His 9.54 yards per pass attempt is the best of any playoff quarterback, and he shows is not afraid to throw deeper balls. The Niners have an array of weapons in the passing game, but it seems odd that perhaps their most gifted pass-catcher — tight end Vernon Davis — has watched his stats decline since Kaepernick took over the starting job from Alex Smith. Wideout Michael Crabtree, meanwhile, has become San Francisco's most dangerous player in the passing game. The Ravens are not a great pass-rush team as in years past. They aren't particularly adept at causing turnovers, either. But they don't give up plays over the top of their defense. They force teams to play error-free. ADVANTAGE: Baltimore.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Wouldn't it be ironic if Ted Ginn Jr., a former Dolphins first-round pick and bust, factored into the outcome of this game? He gets his chance returning punts for the 49ers. The more recognized returner, however, is Jacoby Jones, who was signed by Baltimore off the Houston roster to be a threat as both a punt and kickoff returner. One thing is certain: If this game comes down to a field goal try by the 49ers, they better get kicker David Akers very close. Akers connected on only 69 percent of his kicks this season — second-worst in the NFL. He connected on only 9 of 19 attempts from 40 yards out or more. ADVANTAGE: Baltimore.
COACHING: Both teams had a two weeks to prepare for this game which means something significant is about to change. Both Harbaugh brothers — Jim and John — have never lost an NFL game following a bye. Ravens coach John Harbaugh is 6-0 while brother and San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh is 3-0-1. Both of these coaching staffs are highly experienced and full of quality football minds. It's a toss-up. ADVANTAGE: Even.

Collection Item Summary:
This is the Gorgon II-A, one of the U.S.'s first liquid-fuel rocket-powered guided missiles. It was developed as an air-to-air weapon by the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer) during late World War II, but did not become operational. With a range of 18 miles, the Gorgon II-A utilized a television guidance system to locate a target and was controlled by radio signals. 21 Gorgon II-A's were built and flight tested during 1945 and 1946. This is one of the few surviving examples.
The Gorgon was one of the first U.S. attempts to use television in guided missiles for target tracking and perhaps the first in a rocket-propelled vehicle. The Gorgon II-A motor produced 350 pounds of thrust for 130 seconds. The Gorgon II-A program was cancelled in 1946. This specimen contains original electronics, except for the TV transmitter.
The U.S. Navy, Bureau of Aeronautics transferred this Gorgon to the Museum in 1965.

Remember those bones found under a car park (parking garage, I think?) in Leicester, England? At the time, I wrote archaelogists were guessing they were the bones of Richard III. Today, the speculation has ended!
Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch's family. Lead archaeologist Richard Buckley, from the University of Leicester, told a press conference to applause: "Beyond reasonable doubt it's Richard."
Richard, who died in battle 1485, will be reinterred in Leicester Cathedral.

Over the past 50 years, our average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history. That is fact, not opinion. Scientists say that under current trends, average US temperatures could be 3 to 9 degrees higher by the end of the century.
This is not abstract, nor are the effects limited to the developing world. These changes will have — indeed, are already having — major effects on our cities, suburbs, and towns. Chicago is becoming warmer. So is Orlando. So are Spokane and Dallas. So are smaller towns such as Louisville, Colorado and suburbs such as Gaithersburg, Maryland. Everyone has weather, and everyone's weather is getting warmer. By fits and starts, to be sure; but, if you don't believe it, ask a landscaper. The serious impacts beginning and yet to come are not pretty and, as my colleague Kim Knowlton has reported, even the insurance industry is noticing.
There are many things we can and must do to reduce the warming trajectory. First among these is reducing emissions of carbon dioxide, the most common and potent greenhouse gas, particularly by transitioning to a clean energy economy. But turning this ship around is going to take time, even under the best scenarios.
Meanwhile, there are also measures we need to take right now inside our communities so that we are as prepared as possible for the warmer climate ahead. Some of them are related to technology, of course, perhaps including personal technology. But that isn't my personal strength as an environmental observer. This article focuses on a few things that we can and should do for our cities, suburbs and towns that are low-tech. What's below is by no means a definitive or complete list, but it's a start:
- Bring more vegetation into neighborhoods. I've written often about the benefits of green infrastructure — green roofs, roadside plantings, rain gardens, swales, and so forth — to stormwater management, and I've applauded the way these practices can bring bits of nature into our neighborhoods. But they also lower the temperature, compared to hard surfaces, and absorb carbon dioxide from the air. So do street trees and parks large and small.
- Plant city-scaled community gardens. One type of vegetation that is a special case is gardening, including small urban orchards (such as the one incorporated into the plan for Via Verde in the South Bronx). These, too, can help lower temperature, and growing some of our own food right in our neighborhoods can also reduce the number of errands we need to run, while increasing health and fitness. Health and convenience are good things in a warming world. But note my caveat that they must be the right scale, to enhance and complement walkable urban densities, not displace or preclude them.
- Use drought-resistant landscaping. It's going to be not just warmer but also drier in many communities. We should use native species and xeriscape wherever possible, so that homes, offices and neighborhoods can enjoy the benefits of attractive landscaping without exacerbating water shortages. In fact, when practiced collectively, drought-resistant planting can help stave off the water shortages likely to come more frequently with warmer temperatures.
- Use light-colored roofing and pavement. Dark surfaces absorb heat, while light-colored surfaces reflect it. Writing in Clean Technica, Zachary Shahan reports that, on the hottest day of the New York City summer in 2011, a white roof covering was found to be 42°F cooler than the traditional black roof it was being compared to. That is an amazing difference that not only helps reduce the on-site temperature but also lowers electricity demand for air conditioning, which in turn reduces carbon emissions from power plants. This finding was part of a study led by scientists at Columbia University and announced by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Earth Science Division. (Shahan also notes that an earlier study that claimed a net warming effect in the atmosphere globally from white roofs failed to account for the reduced energy demand.)
- Get serious about sea level rise and storm surges. It's making less and less sense to build in low-lying parts of coastal areas. As my colleague Dan Lashof recently wrote, what used to be a storm of the century is becoming a storm of the decade. Last week, researchers at Climate Central published studies and released an interactive map that shows increasing flooding risk for the entire US coastline. Anyone who lives near the coast can enter her zip code and see a localized map of the areas that will flood at various storm surge levels. Dan examined a map of Virginia Beach, for example, showing that a four-foot storm surge (which has about a one-in-three chance of occurring in the next twenty years as sea levels rise) could flood more than 10,000 homes and affect almost 30,000 people. We should make sure that flood plain demarcations take account of warming trends, and keep future buildings out of those zones.
- Save older buildings. New construction generates heat and disrupts existing vegetation while frequently failing to generate carbon-reduction benefits over older buildings, even with newer and more efficient technology. Our older buildings also remind us who we are as a community, and tend to knit together existing neighborhoods.
- When building new, follow "Original Green" practices. Especially in a warmer climate, it is important that buildings be constructed and sited to take advantage of natural processes. Bring back real front porches. Plant deciduous trees on the south side, where they provide shade in summer while allowing sun in the winter. Plant evergreens on the side that will benefit by protection from winter winds. Use close-to-the-source materials and naturally insulating design. Place new buildings in walkable settings with everyday conveniences nearby.
- Keep the regional footprint small and well-connected. Sprawl exists, and it will take some time to repair or retrofit it into a more sustainable pattern. But, in the near term, we absolutely should not add to it. This means no more leapfrog development, period. Instead, we should accommodate growth by inclusive revitalization, grayfield and brownfield redevelopment, and the right kind of infill that enhances neighborhoods without overwhelming them. Internally to our communities, we must make public transit robust and walking and bicycling to common destinations easy.
- Update our zoning and building codes to facilitate resilience. As I observed just last month in my article on DC's current zoning update, in most communities it will take affirmative code amendments to make walkable, diverse neighborhoods legal again. Let's do it.
While this article focuses on strengthening communities in the face of climate change, these steps also provide other kinds of resilience. Since fuel prices will continue to rise, for example, reducing demand for electricity and gasoline through smart building and growth management conserves financial resources. So does obviating the construction of infrastructure expansion to accommodate sprawl and employing green techniques to manage stormwater instead of building larger concrete sewer and drainage pipes.
As I wrote at the outset, this isn't meant to be a definitive list. Nor is it intended as an antidote to global warming. Rather, it's meant to start a conversation about the reality of a warming climate and what we can do with our built environment to respond to it in the most realistic and sustainable way. What would you add to the list?
