When the mentor is a lesson: we all deserve respect

Prior to season 3 of The Bear, I wrote Lessons from a mentor: every second counts about the parallels between Sydney and Chef Andrea Terry. While we don't spend much time with Chef Terry in The Bear, its clear that she is presented as a foil to Chef David Fields who appears throughout seasons 1-3 as one of Carmy's main abusers and an antagonist on the show.

Given Sydney's clear parallels with Fields' foil, Chef Terry, I've been thinking about contrasts made by the show between Sydney and Chef Fields and how these serve to highlight the path that Carmy should be choosing as EC of The Bear.

For me, the primary differences between Syd and Fields have to do with respect, namely who and what is worthy of it. Below are some specific contrasts made in the course of seasons 1 to 3 between the two of them in this regard:

Wasting food, time and labour

The wasting of food encouraged by Chef David Fields is seen most starkly in season 3.

Above: Chef Fields getting Carmy to bin exorbitant amounts of food he deems not perfect (screenshots from 3x01 Tomorrow).

Sydney knows that you shouldn’t waste food. In season 1, we saw her refusing to throw out her cola-braised short ribs even though Carmy’s view was that the dish wasn’t ready for service. Instead, Sydney gives her extra plate to a patron at The Beef, so that her food does not go to waste.

Above: Carmy cock-blocking Syd's dish from service and Sydney not letting it go to waste (screenshots from 1x06 Ceres). Below: Syd explaining to Carmy why her spare dish ended up with a patron.

So what does avoiding food waste have to do with respect? In giving the extra plate of her ribs to a patron, Sydney showed respect for the time and labour she invested in developing and cooking her dish. She is also showing respect for the labour and resources that went into growing its ingredients: the cow that would ultimately become the beef short rib (a single cow can take approximately 17,520 pounds of feed, 33,160 litres of water and 1-2 years to raise before its fit for slaughter), the rice that had to be sewn, grown and harvested before it turned into risotto, the aromatics like garlic, onion and carrot that make up the base of the sauce and stock, which take months to grow in the first place. I know the phrase "do you think X just grows on trees?" is meant to indicate something that is freely available, but any person who's successfully grown anything edible will tell you that it takes time, effort and work for that fruit to grow.

Below: picking cucumbers and strawberries at my in-laws' place. My father-in-law is a resolute gardener and tends to his fruit and veggie beds everyday: weeding, applying his own homemade compost, fending off pests, harvesting, irrigating... growing food is no joke!

When Fields and Carmy insist on throwing out dishes that aren’t “perfect”, they devalue all of the above. In an instant, they erase the months - in some cases years - that were given to create ingredients. They make invisible the creative energy, time and even love that went into developing the dishes in the first place. They also contribute to a work culture where the jump between devaluation of labour and time, to devaluation of workers themselves is small and ever-shrinking.

Devaluation of people

Once you start devaluing workers - the people themselves - you are well on your way to cementing a fascist work culture.

A precise definition of fascism is hard to pin down and its meaning differs slightly depending on who you speak to. Generally speaking, fascism is marked by dictatorial or autocratic control by a single leader, suppression of opposition, vehement fear and policing of difference (which makes fascist regimes almost always racist ones), and subsequent glorification of the nation over the individual (this nationalism is also almost always tied up with race). Does this all sound familiar? It should. There's a certain orange cheeto and his horde of ghouls that have recently done this fascist dance right into a second term at the White House.

But I digress. Back to The Bear.

Chef David's kitchen at Empire was a fascist one. He ran it like a dictator. He did not allow his staff to share any views on the food that differed from his own (recall him mocking Carmy for even taking the time to silently think about Fields' completely changing his paupiette of hamachi dish in 3x01 Tomorrow: "Just take your time thinking about that. Just wait longer for that to process."). He had such disregard and disdain for his staff that he did not hesitate to kick a chef out of his kitchen over a broken sauce (recall 1x02 Hands) or tell Carmy that he "should be dead" in the same episode. You can't get much more dehumanising than this shit.

Below: Chef Fields being a heinous, abusive POS (screenshot from 1x02 Hands)

Given the close relationship between fascism and racism, its no wonder that aspects of white supremacy culture also leech into Chef David's kitchen. I've written here about the role of whiteness in Carmy’s racialisation as an Italian-American man. That meta also discusses Tema Okun’s work on white supremacy culture and how it manifests in organisations and workplaces. Okun noted the below identifying characteristics of organisational, white supremacist culture, including (but not limited to):

perfectionism;

either/or & binary thinking; and

a sense of urgency.

In The Bear, these characteristics are on full display at Empire (as well as in Carmy's kitchen in The Bear during season 3). This is so much the case that Carmy has sense of urgency tattooed across his knuckles (in the form of "SOU").

In contrast, Sydney was the first to advocate for a change in how they run things at The Beef. She wanted to break from the abusive patterns she had experienced in the past working at fine dining establishments and she asserts this all the way back in 1x03 Brigade during that alley chat between her and Carmy (which is still my favourite scene between the two of them - yes even more than them screwing under that wonky table with nothing wrong with it lmao).

Unlike Fields, Sydney recognises the humanity in her coworkers. She does not devalue them. She encourages them to take their time and get things right.

Below left: Fields terrorising Carmy to "go faster motherfucker" (screenshot from 1x02 Hands). Below right: Sydney gently reassuring Tina as she adjusts to working as a sous chef "Take your time, chef" (screenshot from 3x03 Doors).

Where Chef Fields refuses to compromise on a dish, Sydney provides suggestions to help her team improve on ideas that they've come up with themselves. Recall how Fields dismisses Carmy's hamachi, zucchini and blood orange dish (before stealing it himself) in 3x01 Tomorrow. In 3x05 Children, Sydney spots Tina working on a cauliflower and brussel sprout dish and instead of berating her about the dish or her technique, she listens to Tina's thoughts about wanting to support a local grower and offers a suggestion for how she might change her plating. In short, where Chef Fields dictates, Sydney collaborates. The former refuses to recognise - to respect - the people he works with and their ideas while the latter does the opposite: she recognises her coworkers as whole human beings worthy of respect and encourages them to think independently, nurturing the ideas they bring with them to work.

Below left: Fields turning Carmys' dish three shades of beige in 3x01 Tomorrow. Below right: Sydney mentoring Tina (your honour, I love them) in 3x05 Children.

Sydney's deep care for her team is never more apparent than in her concern for Marcus, particularly after his mother's death. She takes the time after a supremely chaotic Friends and Family night to not only support Carmy but to also call Marcus and check in on him. Sydney is the only one on the team to enquire after Marcus' welfare the following morning (when everyone else was too busy asking about fucking Claire /vom) and she takes the time to help Marcus when it comes time for him to sort through his mother's belongings.

Below left: Sydney calling Marcus to let him know he has The Bear's support (screenshot from 3x01 Tomorrow). Below middle: Sydney asking the only question I actually wanted the crew to answer following Friends and Family (screenshot from 3x02 Next). Below right: Sydney and Marcus watch on as removalists take his mother's furniture out of his home (screenshot from 3x05 Children)

Contrast the above with Carmy's experience of grief while at work at Empire under Chef Fields. Fields had created such a culture of fear in his kitchen that when Carmy finds out about Mikey's death at work, it appears that he tells no one and continues cooking. He even apparently burns his hand but continues to work through it (he has no gloves on before the call from Natalie in 3x01 Tomorrow but is seen wearing a glove on one hand as he plates Sydney's favourite dish following the call).

Below left: Carmy's hands, plating hamachi with fennel soubise before he finds out Mikey has died. Below right: A grief-stricken Carmy continues to work with a gloved right hand as he deviates from Chef Field's orders and retakes his hamachi dish (screenshots from 3x01 Tomorrow).

No one should have to work under the conditions that Carmy did at Empire. They were abusive, toxic and ultimately, in Carmy's words, "made [him] very, probably mentally ill." This is fascism: where people are treated as cogs in service of the machine - replicants (as Richie likes to call them - see @freedelusionshere reblog of Chaos and Consistency for more on this) that serve no other function than churning out products for consumption: their grief, their love, their humanity be damned.

In You love taking care of people: Fine Dining in the Time of Late Stage Capitalism, I wrote about how colonialism and the wealth it generated gave colonising nation-states the time and resources to develop food cultures that they would then proclaim as the epitome of global "fine dining." Colonialism itself was (and continues to be) driven by racist dehumanisation: the devaluing of Indigenous and Global South peoples to the point that they could be used as slave labour and their resources stolen. Colonialism's dehumanisation also necessarily involved devaluation of the cultures of the colonised, including their foodways. This is another point of difference between Chef Fields and Sydney.

Devaluation of foodways

I don't think its a coincidence that the writers of this show had Chef FIelds turn Carmy's hamachi dish into literally the whitest plate I've seen on The Bear. I've noted here that originally, the plate featured the colours of the Italian flag (green, white and red) - indicative of Carmy's culinary ancestry - but that gets wiped and replaced by whiteness once Fields swoops in and steals the dish. I think this was a deliberate choice by the writers to indicate Fields' allegiance to the old guard of fine dining - where the food cultures of white Europeans are valorised above all else (and before you say anything, yes Italians are racialised as white but that hasn't always been the case - see my meta here on this).

The show then makes purposeful distinctions between Fields' preferences and views as compared to Sydney's when it comes to food. Some notable examples are below:

Chef Fields hates black pepper - the spice that Christopher Columbus was trying to find in India and which ended up sending him to the Americas instead. Sydney loves pepper. It features in her cola-braised short ribs as well as in a recipe she was workshopping during 1x08 Braciole.

Above left: Sydney's recipe for cola-braised short ribs includes 1tsp of black pepper. (screenshot from 1x08 Braciole). Above middle: Carmen on Fields’ hatred of the most commonly traded spice in the world: “He hates black pepper for some reason I'll never understand.” (Screenshot from 3x10 Forever). Above right: Sydney's notebook as she workshops a recipe at home in 1x08 Braciole: “more…pepper?”

We also see Fields berating Carmy for the number of components he has in an early version of the hamachi dish in 3x01 Tomorrow. He dismissively compares the dish to nachos. This bullshit rubbed me so furiously the wrong way because of its racism and classism. Nachos were created in the 1940s in northern Mexico, near the border and are now ubiquitous in America as an affordable and much loved snack. The original dish featured fried corn tortilla chips, Colby cheese and pickled jalapenos - a mix of ingredients that have their origins in Indigenous food cultures, as well as Mexico and the United States, reflecting the nature of cultural exchange at the border (there is also the fact that that border was imposed on communities that were already established in the region. i.e. they didn't cross the border, the border crossed them). The original nacho dish also uses ingredients that were economically affordable. This remains the case today.

So when Fields compares Carmy's dish to nachos, what he's implying is that the food is "common" and not elevated or refined enough to be served by Empire. This sentiment has its roots in a history of racism and classism. In Colonization, Food and the Practice of Eating, Dr Linda Alvarez notes that when the Spanish colonised the Americas, they considered Indigenous foods - like tortillas - "famine food" - to only be consumed if European food was not available to eat.

Above: Chef David Fields being a racist and classist sack of shit (screenshot from 3x01 Tomorrow).

In stark contrast to Fields' bullshit is Sydney who loves and respects food, period: whether its being served at Empire or Michael Jordan's Steakhouse. Recall her chat with Marcus in 1x08 Braciole and her wish to open a spot that would make the second-best bacon on Earth (because, well, how could she unseat Jordan? lol).

Below: Sydney and Marcus chatting about her dream spot (screenshots from 1x08 Braciole)

So, in conclusion:

Chef Fields is a fascist, regarded with no love by anyone (as far as we've been shown on The Bear anyway). Sydney is not a fascist. She gives grace and respect wherever she can. She honours people in their wholeness. So be like Sydney and resist fascism: in your homes, in your workplaces and in your government. Now, more than ever.

I, funnily enough, have been made a part of the wolf pack in two playthroughs and still don't know Black Wolf well. They... don't have a lot of content. They will protect their mate but also share their mate with the WHOLE PACK. They don't appreciate you petting them like a dog cause they are NOT tamed, thank you. They are wild. Grrr.

GREAT HAWK. Listen, listen, listen. I became a birb wife in one playthrough, and Great Hawk is honestly so sweet. They are just really lonely and want to have a mate. They will gather food and gifts for you, you two can bathe each other, sing together, cuddle, they will teach you how to fly. They adore you. You are their amazing mate. They wanna be so so good to you.

...But I'm not that into the harpy tf and Great Hawk is so inconvenient to meet soooo. Oops. I only got them once cause I specifically wanted the Harpy tf.

Just a general question! Which characters in DOL do you not know much of but are curious about?

Oooh ok ok so the one i know least about are. ..Black Wolf (the alpha🤨📸) and The Great Hawk🫥

Like like i don't venture into the forest muuuch really, only for the projects and like. For Mason and ONCE AND ONLY ONCE EDEN BC I WAS CURIOUS ABT HIM BUT HE ISNT SUBMISSIVE AND BREEDABLE ENOUGH FOR ME

[confessioncivilization]

I saw someone say that Pvp! Evbo is a calf not a lamb, and it just altered my brain chemistry. I love it so much.

On that note, it got me thinking about how hybrids would work here. I think it would be amazing if swordciv genetically became prey animals or cattle, ie sheep, pigs, cows. Maybe insects as well. While all the others would be some form of predator or something and in swordciv they masquerade as prey (wolf in sheep's clothing style) its just a little thought in the back of my mind.

Speaking of uncouth women who can't seem to stop themselves from interrupting Eli-chan's performances, shouldn't Tamamo know better than to walk in on one of her rehearsals with those massive tits on display? They're spilling out of her kimono and practically begging for someone to claim them, and now that she's starting to lose her inhibitions, there's no way Eli-chan would simply stare at them without taking any initiative...

"Taaammmmmy, what happened to all that fervor from earlier~? Strutting around like you owned the place with these fat jugs, wobbling about like meat? You had so much fire until just a few hours ago~."

Elizabeth doesn't expect an intelligent response. Though, why should she? When fat fucking idoldick is buried 2 feet into someone's sopping, gushing foxpussy, usually someone isn't too capable of speech. The cow-figured Tamamo-no-Mae is certainly not an exception, with her plump hentai-curves that wobble when she so much as breathes. Ass clapping, udders pounding together with every inhale and exhale...is it any wonder Eli-chan reached the end of her rope?

Of course she brutally fucked the foxmeat bimbo the moment she even got near her studio! Her thick, heavy, hulking idoldick wouldn't allow her to do anything else!

"HOOOOOIIIIUUUUUUUGHHHHHH!~ GH-DIIICKKKK-!~ GHHHGHKKKKK!~ UUUWOOOGHHHH!!!!~"

Tamamo has, predictably, lost herself to lust. At first she valiantly attempted to resist Elizabeth's selfish, dickbrained urges, like a good Servant. She really, truly did! Fighting back with whatever words she could as Elizabeth molested her sweating, jiggling body, trying to resist the heat in her womb that told her that the hung idolstud currently grinding her massive, leg-sized bulge against Tamamo's porntummy was her ideal hubby. With every violent hump from the horny, low-IQ idol, however...her brain started to give. Her resistance to fate weakened.

When her new husband, Elizabeth Bathory, dropped her skirt in that moment of weakness, and her kimono-clad chest was SMACKED by bloated Elicock....Tamamo permanently turned her back on Chaldea.

Why would she care about it, when her idolhubby agreed to generously let her marry his heavy dickmass? Elizabeth was all that mattered, and with every whorish cry into the air, she proved it to herself.

"HHHUUBBBYYYYYY!!!~~~~ GOSHUJHIN-SHAMAAAAAAAA!!!!~ LOSINNGGGGGG!!!!~~~ I LOVE YOUUUUU!~"

No point in fighting back. No point in holding herself back.

Tamamo-no-Mae BATHORY loses. Elizabeth Bathory wins.

An AFK Adventure with Idol VaLoR

"Pwede ba ako dyan?"

Yan ang una niyang sinabi sa akin, naghahanap kasi ako ng ka Ygg duo sa guild chat nung araw na un - naaalala kong desperado na ako sa Eden coins kaya ayokong masayang ang pagkakataon magawa ang instance na un.

Naisip ko pa, aba, may nagoyo akong sumama sa akin.

Low DP kasi ako, alam mo na, di trip kasama ng majority. Tipong walang papatol sa iyo pag nagahanap ka ng kaparty sa world chat. Who you ka, kapal feys!

Sabihin na natin napahiya ang bida niyo at di kami umabot ng level 30. Expected ko na di na ako papansinin pagkatapos pero aba nakipagkwentuhan.

Ewan ko ba, pihikan naman ako sa kausap pero magaan naman ang loob ko sa kanya kaya ayun, mag iisang buwan na kaming regular na magkakwentuhan sa gabi sa 23.

Friendship Monthsary?! Michael Jordan? LoL.

Bakit ko alam? Eh inadd ko sa FB nung araw na un at nag message, un kaya ang date.

Okay, oo, golden rule. Wag basta basta add ng add ng friends sa FB. Eh wala naman ako tinatago and well, mabuti malaman na niya ng maaga sino kausap niya, ipagtagpi-tagpi na lang niya ang mga makikita at basa niya, hahaha. I mean, di naman ako scammer o chixi at kung tatanungin niya ako balang araw kung open minded ako at magkape kami minsan, eh sorry, hindi ako mahilig lumabas ng bahay, yayain na lang niya ako mag PVP at katayin na lang niya ako ng attack speed niya ng paulit-ulit (someday idol, maiisahan din kita, hahaha).

Anyway, sa present time.

Nakatulog siya nung isang gabi habang magkakwentuhan kami sa party chat. Naaliw ako at finorce follow ko siya na sundin ako sa buong mapa ng Rune Midgard. Ayun, nakapag MVP, TR, mini, at elite ang idol nating afk na si VaLoR. Kagabi naman, pinagbigyan niya ako at nag scripted afk siya.

non-verbatim: sige na, sa office na ako magwowork bukas ng gabi eh, 2 gabi ka rin makakatulog ng maagaa :P

(insert daming tawa here)

Siyempre, tuwang-tuwa lola niyo, kahit parang baliw na may nasunod na kapwa sniper (na malakas btw), G lang!

Adventure 1: Sinayawan Ko Siya

"Kinendeng mo kaso deadma" - koya, tip po, Jupe at ET run lang.

Bago siya natulog, ubos na raw comm tickets niya. Eh may 40 pa ako kaya ayan, ako na lang sumayaw...sinayawan ko si idol. Yes pwede ung 40 kahit afk kasama sa party, basta 2 kayo.

Adventure 2: Habol ng MVP at TR

Dharma best ghorl. AFK yarn.

(teeheehee GTB lang yan)

Adventure 3: Ikot Ikot Lang

Habang cooldown mga MVP, ikutin ang Rune Midgard!

Ulitin ko, afk si idol VaLoR. Today, di siya mamatay sa GH kasi nakakaKafra na siya.

Adventure 4: Inabutan ng Maintenance sa Huling MVP of the Day

Nagising siya na hinihintay na lang umappear ang OL.

Akala mo katapusan na ng mundo at pa maintenance na ng 7am, hahaha. Daming bilin, hanash, at paulit-ulit na "ingat ka, kumain ka, mamaya, sa Sabado, etc" kaming nalaman.

Ending, nag close ung app ng 7am at nag usap pa kami saglit sa messenger, hahaha.

Btw, twinning kami, "partner" costumes. Pinagbigyan kami ni ROO na magkaroon kami ng costume galing sa same gacha, hahaha.

...at least di ung moo-moo costume, may do do ng cow eh.

Hanggang sa susunod, na trip, abangan, hahaha.

[riddlesmoon]

i just. suddenly remembered. some of my old ocs. this group of ocs i called elementals cuz i made them when i was 13 based off the different elements. and i would just stick them in every media franchise i got into because i was unoriginal. i kinda forgot about them since i got into yume'ing but i just suddenly remembered and was like what if they were in DOL

so i guess im just gonna ramble. for myself

the elements i use are air/earth, fire/light, and water/darkness. i dont wanna hear it i made them when i was 13 okay. so theyre each a pair of siblings. this is because i really liked mahoushoujo winx club shit back then so i was like yes lets make a full magical girl sister squad. then i became Woke and was like oh diversity so i stopped having them all be sisters so they could be different races. and gender'd them up. idk. 13yo me never heard of found family i guess (this may be a consequence of growing up lonely but no one really knows!)

anyway lets just go through each pair

AIR/EARTH

actually these two are not related by blood. the original idea was that Air is the oldest of the group of 6 and Earth is the youngest, and Air takes care of Earth after finding her out on the streets or whatever. except she is supposed to be kind of dumb and literally airheaded, or just... loses control easily (think tornados) so shes not very good at taking care of a kid... but she cares! not gonna lie... ive actually forgotten what i named her... Pearl. i dont know why i chose that. i still dont think its great but whatever. anyway, in DOL she'd probably be a harpy tf... though how does she get it at all... ideally i thought she'd actually be a harpy/a hawk but i dont want to overwrite the existing great hawk... ohh lol what if shes an offspring since GH has pregnancy content. btw we're gonna ignore the existence of a PC for now. but shit i also wanted her to be old. GH's MOM??? we'll come back to this.

and then Earth... Terra (very unoriginal ik) would probably be... i want to say raised by the wolves but i wanted to give Fire a wolf tf... what about fox tf...? idk i havent really decided i just want her to be wild and probably live in the forest. maybe actually part wolf?

WATER/DARKNESS

Aqua is cat tf. although, now that i think about it, something something cow tf something milk something liquid. but cat kinda stereotypically fits her. shes kind of a party girl who knows shes pretty and uses it to get her places. she has some issues, yeah. also genderfluid(haha) and very open to crossdressing and all that. shes def working at the brothel as a dancer.

her twin Luna isnt as flashy and prefers to stay in the shadows. and also, i did say the ocs started as mahoushoujo, so usually Luna has prophetic powers. not sure how much magic i wanna give them here but i like to think they play cards with Wren and it gives them an edge. also agender

ALSO Aqua is obsessed with the Ivory Wraith 💯

FIRE/LIGHT

okay so... i made these ocs in 2013, and yk... frozen came out then... so the original concept was, uh. Aiden accidentally set their house on fire and his twin Candidus did a "watch out!" move a la Elsa and hit him with a beam of light, blinding him. and then Candidus died 👍 but she becomes a ghost and "haunts" Aiden

soooo hm. maybe that orphans them? and im torn between having Candidus being a hallucination only Aiden can see or an "angel" everyone can see but shes like, not tangible.

anyway Aiden is a hotheaded mf who is ready to fight anything and everyone. doggg tf. maybe with demon...? unsure. would be a hilarious contrast with Candidus tho. like Aqua he knows hes hot(haha) but isnt as happy about getting attention for it. he'll act like its all according to keikaku but inside he wishes he could beat you up. half the time he does. if Aqua reacts by acting submissive (and coy) Aiden would start punching. hed call Aqua a whore while theyre both getting ready for a show or something. if he even worked there...

uhhhhhh. yeap. i should probably actually play dol again and see what the new stuff about the church is. im not religious at all so any angel motifs on Candidus are so made up lol. and also theres pirates(???) in the ocean? idk

also theyre supposed to be dysfunctional. the (homestuck influenced) "mirror versions" of the group are ages flipped where Terra is a much more capable of handling a volatile Pearl, Aiden doesnt have to grow up so fast (and ideally Candidus is still alive lol), and Aqua and Luna... er. i dont know actually they have the least issues of the group anyway.

yaaaaaay omg i actually made this bc i wanted to think about how theyd interact with the game npcs. Aiden/Candidus are school age and Aiden for sure fights Whitney (or maybe he is part of Whitneys gang?? idk...), thinks Kylars shit, Sydney prays for him bc poor guy lost his sister etc. Aqua and Luna are out of school, Pearl is also older (30s...?) and Terra. er. for legal purposes she has to be 18 right. which sounds kind of stupid theres no way rapechestershire gives a fuck about the age of consent since they dont give a fuck about consent. but honestly it still fits because i originally made Aiden/Candidus follow my age, so by now Terra absolutely should be 18. not a big deal anw i dont think she encounters the majority of townsfo—THE PLANTPEOPLE. hm. thonking. (about making her a plantperson. idk)

also wat if they were like the LIs and could be genderswapped. hmmm! ok whatever

also this is separate from my yume self ins who actually is a PC

[cytgen]

Abstract A polymorphism (g.2141C>G) of the growth hormone (GH) gene was studied in the populations of cows of the Ukrainian red-spotted dairy, Montbeliard breeds, and crossbreeds obtained from the crossing of Ukrainian red-spotted dairy cows with Montbeliard bulls, and the analysis of reproductive traits of individuals with different genotypes was conducted. Genotyping of the growth hormone gene was carried out using a PCR–RFLP method. Both L and V alleles were detected in the experimental cow populations. The ratio of the frequencies of LL/LV/VV genotypes did not differ from the theoretically expected one for each of the experimental groups (χ2 = 0.91, p < 0.05; χ2 = 1.41, p < 0.05; χ2 = 1.66, p < 0.05, respectively). In the experimental populations of the Montbeliard breed and crossbred animals, the VV genotype frequency was 0.03 and 0.06, respectively; no VV genotype was detected in the population of the Ukrainian red-spotted breed. According to the traits of reproductive function, the cows of the experimental groups with the LL genotype variant had better indices as compared with their peers with the LV genotype: an earlier age of first insemination, lower index of insemination, and shorter intercalving period. According to the live weight at birth and growth dynamics in each experimental group of cows, the carriers of the LV genotype had an advantage. Regardless of the genotype, higher indices of live weight at birth and average daily growths were established in animals of the crossbred origin as compared with purebreds. The established polymorphism of the growth hormone gene (SNP g.2141C>G) indicates a feasibility of further studies and prospect of using it as a genetic marker of reproductive ability in marker-assisted selection of dairy cattle direction of productivity.

Fun Fact!

the hindi alphabet is in fact organized by where in the mouth you pronounce it!

So first of all, vowels and consonants are arranged separate.

The latin??? alphabets go a b c d e f and so on, with consonants and vowels all mixed willy nilly (is that how you say that).

In hindi, they are separated into two sequences. All vowels have an alphabet, all consonants have an alphabet.

Disregard the vowels for now

there are 33 consonants, arranged in 5 groups of 5, and then 2 groups of 4

each row of 5 is basically all the sound you can make from a particular part of your mouth, and the row of 4 is how an open sound is made in those parts in that order (I'm explaining more below, dw)

eg. the first row is

क for the c sound in cow,

ख for a much harsher, throatier c sound, like the kh in khan

ग for g soung like garden

घ for the gh sound of ghost

ङ is that one sound you make if you try to say the n sound but at the same space you say the prev four sounds, like ng in sing

Basically the velar region in the image by @allthingslinguistic

this pattern stays for the first five rows, the 2nd row covering ch as in chew, its throatier version, j as in jug, its throatier version, and the weird 'if you pronounce n in that area" (palatal region)

and so on

3rd -> t as in tinkling + throatier, d as in down + throatier, weird n -> alveolar region

4th ->th as in think + throatier, d as in hindi + throatier, n as in no -> interdental region

(5th -> p + throatier(which is basically f), b + throatier and ma) -> bilabial
