Chapter 21: File Not Found!? A Negative Missing Number!

This week’s nega-evolution was designed by @dai-rokuten-maou​ !

Guest appearances by Fanfancures by @salsasprecure​ and @bubblemahouhub ! 

“Hnnnngh…”

 With a grunt, Alice stretched herself as she leaned back in her chair, taking off her glasses briefly to rub her eyes. She got screen headaches much more quickly these days; she figured it was just a sign of getting older. But she still had more to add to her database; how could she possibly continue to be on top of her research into pokemon health if she didn’t keep up with the new information on nega-evolution provided by the Precure?

 A slight rumbling noise came from her lap, as she looked down to see Penumbra staring curiously back up at her; the Umbreon had been disturbed from its slumber when she stretched.

 “Oh…sorry,” she apologized softly, gently scratching her companion under the chin. “Though…seeing you sleepy like that makes me realize I should probably get some rest, too.”

 She looked back to her computer and navigated to the start menu, noting the computer wanted to update before shutting down. “Alright…there we go.” She selected the proper option before turning off the monitor, picking up Penumbra in her arms as she stood up. She couldn’t stop learning, now…for the sake of both people and Pokemon. And for the sake of the group’s new, reluctant ally in the form of a highly dangerous escaped genetic experiment, but he wasn’t there that evening.

 As she prepared to crawl into bed that evening, she stopped to lower the blinds on her window, obscuring her from the prying eyes outside.

  =====

 “Alice Pierce, pokemon researcher specializing in the field of pokemon health and medicine….” Bedlam muttered, arms crossed as he went over his gathered information aloud while lounging in a tree. “Yeah, I can see why they’d look to her for guidance.”

 “There you are!” Ataxia appeared on an upper branch, sitting daintily and looking displeased. “Return at once. Lord Tumult has informed us all of some strategic changes. All of us, that is, except for you.”

 “I’m assuming the changes aren’t all that different from the old strategies,” Bedlam shrugged, “Nega-evolve pokemon. Be defeated by a bunch of little girls. Swear revenge. Repeat.”

 Ataxia huffed. “If only you’d put a little bit more enthusiasm into this. Once Dys has enough sustenance to breach the worlds, we can expand, and create the paradise meant for us! Does that not appeal to you at all!? Don’t you want to succeed!? Don’t you want a world where everyone’s as wayward and lost as those Tumult has brought into his service? Where we can all be brought together by Dys, and never struggle or worry again?”

 “Quit with the preaching. Of course I wanna succeed,” Bedlam replied, “But frankly, I find it just a bit odd that Tumult hasn’t lifted a finger to do anything.”

 “Tumult answers directly to Dys!”

 “Whom none of us have seen up close. How do we know Tumult isn’t lying, or trying to screw us over so he looks better?”

 Ataxia sputtered. “A-are you…are you questioning your very mission, Bedlam!?”

 “I’m trying to figure out a new way, without Tumult. I’m going to strike at the heart of the Precure on this island….and if it works, then we can repeat the strategy across this world…”

 Ataxia watched him in silence for a moment. Then, she sat down next to him. “Well, then…be a team player. Tell me what you’ve learned so far, won’t you?”

 Bedlam looked back at her, briefly surprised. Then, he nodded.

 ===

 “Ready, and—!” Naomi set the volleyball, before leaping up as a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, staring down Kailani opposite her.

 Kailani, meanwhile, froze. “I’m beginning to think I made a mistake—“

 “—SPIKE!” Naomi slammed her fist into the ball, smashing it down into Kailani’s head as she let out an unladylike squawk and fell over into the sand. The girls were playing out on the beach on a weekend day, having finished some difficult exams (and balancing that with battling nega-evolutions). It had been about a week since the previous incident, and though the girls had been keeping the island safe, nega-evolutions were still cropping up across the globe, and Rotomi hadn’t shown any new developments ability-wise, despite continuing to absorb the nega-energy left behind after each purification.

 “Kailani! Are you alright?” Fae called from the blanket where she sat with Asuka and Clefable; Asuka was focused on a tablet in her hands, while Clefable was sunning herself.

 “I’m…okay…!” Kailani called out, finally sitting up and rubbing her head. “Come to think of it, anyone know where Raichu is?”

 “He’s over there,” Naomi pointed, seeing Raichu surfing with his tail on some small waves out on the water, Rotomi flitting after him. “Looks like he got tired of watching us.”

 “Poor guy…I’m sure he misses the waves in Alola; they were much larger than these. We used to surf together.”

 “I’m much more of a windsurfing person, myself,” Naomi said, “Anyway, you wanna try again? I won’t spike anymore.” She held out her hand.

 “Yeah, let’s try again…” Kailani accepted the hand offered to her, standing up.

 Back with Fae and Asuka, the former glanced to the latter. “You seem really focused on something. You haven’t even let any of your pokemon out like you said you would.”

 “Huh? Oh! Ohh!!” Asuka hurriedly took out two pokeballs, releasing her Cyndaquil and Scizor. “I should shuffle my team more…I’d release the whole team but we shouldn’t crowd the beach.”

 “What’s on your mind? You’ve been glued to your tablet…” Fae tipped her head a bit as Asuka glanced back at the tablet.

 “It’s…this news from the Galar region. A nega-evolved dynamax pokemon appeared.”

 “Dynamax!? Those are huge, aren’t they!? That must have been absolutely massive once it nega-evolved!”

 “It was stopped by two Cures—Cure Monarch and Cure Phantasm. What luck they showed up…”

 “Nega-evolved and dynamaxed…the Cures in Galar must really have it tough.”

 “You’re telling me…” Asuka frowned as she looked back at the article on the screen. “And we already know that they can nega-evolve people…”

 Fae watched her face for a bit, trying to read her expression. “It’s okay, Asuka. I’m scared too. We’re all scared.”

 “We just…need to go over all the information we have,” Asuka muttered. “Maybe…maybe I’ll feel a bit better after we do that.”

 Asuka always preferred cold, hard facts. She liked being well-informed before making decisions. Being a Precure hadn’t always given her the luxury of that, but since they seemed to have some downtime, it was time to catch up.

 Nega-Evolution was spreading like a disease.

 More Precure were popping up, as if her world was creating antibodies, of a sort, to combat it.

 Darkness was a sickness…and they were the cure for it. It made sense. To her, anyway.

 As she was pondering this, Fae got an idea.

 “I’ve got it!” Fae tapped a fist in her palm. “Why don’t we go to Dr. Pierce’s place later and ask to see her collected notes? I know she’s been trying to keep things organized for us…”

 A rustling sound came from Fae’s bag as Rotomi burst out of it. “I need her to update her database from the Cure Dex anyway!”

 Asuka looked at the pair of them, as a smile began to cross her features. “That…would help a lot.”

 ===

 Meanwhile, in Johto…

 “Brace!” Cure Faith shouted—the trio of Sacred Beast Precure crossed their arms in front of them to absorb the blow of a shockwave caused by a Nega-Stantler, skidding back from the impact. The beast leered at them with a piercing, enraged glare, its sharpened, hooked antlers ready to gore anyone who got too close. It was rather small for a nega-evolution, but was still larger than the average Stantler; this beast stood about one story tall, and was making up for its smaller stature with pure rage. It dug a hoof into the ground angrily, before charging.

 “Shining—“ with a twirl, Cure Cascade sent a jet of water toward it to force it back, “—Torrent!”

 “How ‘bout this!?” Flash shouted, and with the snap of her fingers, she electrified the jet of water. A gruntlike, pained roar emitted from the nega-evolution, but as the jet of water ended, the creature still stood, its antlers beginning to glow with a sinister aura.

 “That’s a problem…!” Faith ran forward, before digging her fingers into the earth with unnatural strength and hurling a large chunk of solid earth at the beast—not only did the chunk break into smaller pieces as the incoming blast from its antlers was fired, but the chunks smashed into Nega-Stantler’s head, causing it to stagger.

 “Nice!” Flash pumped a fist, “About time we caught it off-guard, right?”

 “Let’s hurry!” Faith turned to face the other two. They shared a nod, holding out their hands as three large, golden, intricate fans appeared in their hands.

 “Open!” They declared in unison, opening the fans with the snap of their wrists. “Miracle Matsuri Fans!”

 “Precure!” They began to dance a choreographed routine, with grand, sweeping gestures, the fans seeming to leave trails of light as they moved. “Miracle Matsuri Refresh!”

 In a brilliant flash of sparkles, Nega-Stantler was defeated, the original Stantler left dizzily standing in its place. Shaking the dizziness away, it approached the Precure, seeming to understand the situation and nuzzling Faith before giving her a hearty lick on the face.

 “Ack—!” Faith made a face, as it scampered off into the brush.

 “Done and done.” Flash dusted off her hands, before flipping her massive, swirling ponytail.

 “At least it wasn’t more than one this time…” Cascade rubbed her temple with a hand.

 “Wait, what about the Shadowlings our pokemon were dealing with!?” Faith yelped in realization.

 “Grrrowf!” A voice declared, as Faith’s Growlithe ran toward them, joined by an excited Azumarill; Noctowl swooped down to join them.

 “Oh, thank goodness….!” Faith knelt down to catch Growlithe in her arms, sighing in relief.

 “Come on, we better hurry back to the National Park,” Flash grinned as she ruffled Noctowl’s feathers. “We might be able to catch the end of the Bug-Off! We can update the group doc later!”

 It seemed, even without someone like Rotomi to guide them, the Precure across the other regions were developing their own ways to learn and keep track—be it with technology or simply word of mouth. As the girls reverted to their true forms and headed back toward the National Park, the girl who was Cure Cascade was already pulling out her phone, accessing where they kept their notes, eager to jot down the information before it had a chance to leave her memory.

 ===

 “It’s a lot more to look at than I expected…” Asuka admitted as she sat before Dr. Pierce’s computer. The Cure Dex was connected nearby, Rotomi humming contentedly inside.

 “It’s not just notes we’ve gathered,” Dr. Pierce explained, “I’ve been keeping up with news headlines, and speaking to colleagues located in other regions to learn about their own experiences. Don’t try and overwhelm yourself, Asuka; it’s best to do things in bits and pieces.”

 “Hang in there,” Kailani reassured her, “If you find anything new or interesting, let us know! We’d hate to crowd around you while you’re trying to read. We’ll just help Dr. Pierce around the house.”

 Asuka looked over her shoulder at them, giving a smile and a nod. With that, she got to reading, looking at files that had names that piqued her interest—she was fortunate that most of them were fairly easy to read; they didn’t use a lot of complicated language like she was expecting. All this information now at her disposal…and more.

 But as she went over a headline regarding the spreading nega-evolution cases, something occurred to her.

 “Rotomi?”

 “Yes?” Rotomi’s voice came from the Cure Dex.

 “Your whole world suffered from this nega-evolution thing, right?”

 A pause, then a sad reply. “Yeah. Yeah, it did.”

 “…we’ve never bothered to ask you what it was like, have we? A world entirely nega-evolved.”

 A longer pause. “It’s really sad. I didn’t wanna bring it up in detail unless someone asked.”

 “Well…” Asuka debated opening up a word processor to note down what she was about to hear, but opted instead to just…listen. “…I’m asking now.”

 Rotomi exited the Cure Dex, looking down at the floor before floating into Asuka’s hands.

 “It’s dark. It’s hard to breathe, the air is so thick with…not something physical, but…just..this unease. This unfixable feeling that nothing is right. That nothing will ever be right. The people and creatures nega-evolved are shells of who they used to be. There’s no warmth or comfort. No satisfaction. It feels like whatever the solution is to whatever ails them…is just out of their reach.”

 Asuka listened, her stomach dropping. “That sounds horrible. I’m so sorry…”

 “It’s supposedly to feed ‘Dys.’ Whoever that is; I’m not sure. But what kind of person…what kind of thing…feeds off the misery of others? That’s just…that’s terrible. And…” Rotomi’s eyes saddened even further. “To think that…that Amaranth might be going through the same thing right now…”

 Asuka brought Rotomi to her chest, as if to hug her. “It’s okay. It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay to not know, and to worry. I’m sure Amaranth is worried about you, too. But we’ll find a way to save your home. And to help the people and pokemon here who were nega-evolved. And you’ve been getting stronger by absorbing the leftover energy, so maybe you still have things you’ve yet to figure out you can do! Even then…you’re safe, and you’re with people who will stay by your side until this is over.”

 Rotomi looked up at Asuka, smiling a bit. “…thank you.”

 “Of course, Rotomi. Any time you need reassurance, just tell me.”

 Asuka looked back at the screen, setting Rotomi carefully on the desk as she got back to skimming the notes; the little fairy flew back into the Cure Dex.

 Some time later, the girls were gathered around the coffee table while Dr. Pierce set down some tea and cakes. Asuka was sharing her notes with the group as they enjoyed the snack.

 “Dr. Pierce has been keeping notes on not just the nega-evolutions we’ve defeated, but any that her colleagues have encountered,” Asuka began, “Thankfully, some of said colleagues are also working with Precure…”

 “I’m currently adding their data to your Cure Dex,” Dr. Pierce explained as she looked over from her computer.

 “We were correct in assuming they just use warped versions of moves the pokemon knows,” Asuka continued.

 “Like Mr. Mime’s Trick Room, that shuffled the rooms at school!” Naomi piped up.

 “Exactly. But now there’s the matter of Shadowlings…”

 “They’re not physical pokemon, thankfully,” Kailani said, looking at the notes Asuka had written, “But they can be battled like any normal pokemon. I think we should be able to just leave those to our own pokemon in most situations.”

 “Chu-chu!” Raichu threw a little cake in the air in joy, as it landed on his head when he was unable to catch it and seemed to forget he had psychic powers.

 “…you’re lucky you’re cute,” Kailani sighed.

 “That reminds me,” Fae started, “There’s apparently this place in Sinnoh that, if you don’t take a ‘cute enough’ pokemon…”

 As the conversation started to derail, Asuka tried to get the group back on track. Dr. Pierce watched quietly, before hearing a knock at her door.

 “Hold on…” Dr. Pierce stood up to answer the door. “I’m coming!”

 However, the moment she opened the door, the girls heard her cry out in alarm. “Dr. Pierce!?” Kailani called as they stood up from the table, rushing to the foyer to find her in the process of sitting up, looking up in shock and fear at the new arrival…

 “Hello, ladies.” Ataxia waved a hand daintily as she stepped into the room, heels clacking on the hardwood floor. “Or, should I say, Pretty Cure?”

 “Ataxia!” Rotomi cried out, “You…you’re here!?”

 “I thought today I’d take a bit more of a direct approach.”Ataxia rotated her wrist, the Nega-Ring flashing briefly on it. With a flourish, she prepared to summon a ring of nega-energy.

 “Not so fast…!” Kailani and the girls pulled out their compacts, while Ataxia was already in the motion of preparing to cast it toward them—only to turn and direct it at Dr. Pierce.

 “Wha—“ “NO!” Rotomi shot out of the Cure Dex and smashed her tiny body into Dr. Pierce, knocking her over as the force knocked the Cure Dex off the table—which landed in the dark circle that had formed where Dr. Pierce once stood.

 It shook, rattled, as the darkness spread down the cable connecting the Cure Dex to the computer. The lights flickered, the air grew tense, and numerous error messages appeared on the screen. Before, finally

ERROR: MISSING_NO.();

 The darkness shot out the window.

 “Wait!” Kailani darted past Ataxia, who quickly vanished while the remaining girls tried to register what just happened. Kailani came to a stop outside, finding the group’s foe.

 The beast hulking before her was an amalgamation—vaguely carrying the traits of pokemon she knew, yet all the same crossing way into the uncanny valley.

 “NEEEGAAAAAA….” It rumbled, its voice distorted, as if trying to speak through a poor speaker, or a damaged sound card. Ataxia reappeared sitting on top of the roof, legs crossed daintily.

 “My,” she remarked, “That’s an unusual nega-evolution, for sure.”

 “It’s a…computer error, or something!?” Naomi tried to comprehend as the other girls caught up to Kailani. “It Nega-evolved the Cure Dex itself!”

 “Missingno!” Asuka reasoned, “It’s…some kind of error that pops up in pokedexes sometimes when it can’t find what it’s looking for!”

 “How can a computer bug be Nega-evolved!? It’s just code!” Naomi argued.

 The creature seemed to glitch in response to this, as if angry. Then, it raised its misshapen hands in anger. “NEGA!”

 “Alright, enough!” Fae pleaded, “We need to deal with it before things get out of hand!”

 “Right…!” Kailani gripped her compact.

 “Precure! I! Choose! You!”

 “Swarm it!” Sunrise declared, the quartet of girls rushing Nega-Missingno at once. It glitched away just as Sunrise and Starlight lunged, the two crashing into each other.

 “What a surprise,” Starlight mumbled, “That didn’t work.”

 “Wish whimsy….” Wish started up an attack, when Nega-Missingno glitched in front of her. “Ohh—!”

 “NE!” Nega-Missingno swatted her away, giving off a sinister aura of binary code and nega-energy.

 “Gotcha—!” Willow caught her.

 “Thanks…” Wish muttered dizzily.

 “Wake-Up Shock!” Sunrise clapped her hands together, sending the bolt toward Nega-Missingno. It glitched in place, and the electricity had no effect when it struck. “Huh!?”

 “That thing’s made from a modded Pokédex; why isn’t electricity scrambling it!?” Starlight summoned Absol. “Type: Dark! Precure Wicked Whirl!”

 As the duo’s summoned cyclone of darkness approached Nega-Missingno, it glitched in place again, giving off a bright pink burst of light as the attack struck…once again, no effect.

 “Oh, come on!” Starlight complained. “What’s going on!?”

 “That pink light was almost like a fairy-type aura….” Wish muttered.

 “Like a fairy-type…and dark types can’t affect fairy-types….” Willow murmured. “…hey. I wanna try something. Dr. Pierce!” She turned toward the house.

 “Huh!? Y-you need me!?” Dr. Pierce cried out from the window.

 “You have a regular Pokédex, don’t you? Scan the nega-evolution!”

 “Scan it!? Oh, yes…!” Dr. Pierce came outside, holding a standard Pokédex as she aimed it at Nega-Missingno.

 ERROR: MISSING_NO.();

 “It’s coming up with the Missingno error!” Dr. Pierce called out, “…but…it’s showing a fairy-typing!”

 “Someone attack it!” Willow called out.

 “On it!” Sunrise whistled, as Raichu zapped out of the house. “Type: Psychic! Precure PK Spectacle!”

 Master and pokemon placed their hands to their temples, as a spiral of psychic energy launched itself toward Nega-Missingno. The nega-evolution gave off a dark aura as the attack struck. No effect.

 “Scan it again!” Willow ordered.

 “Same error! But….dark-type!?” Dr. Pierce called back.

 “That’s it!” Willow pumped a fist. “I know what’s going on! It’s changing type once it realizes what type the incoming attack is! That nega-evolution is literally a walking database of pokemon typings!”

 “Then how do we beat it!?” Sunrise asked, letting out a startled yelp as she dove away from an incoming swipe.

 “I’ve got an idea! Huddle!”

 The four Precure immediately moved into a huddle, much to the confusion of Nega-Missingno.

 “Nega?” It comically leaned in, trying to eavesdrop from multiple angles, before jumping back as the girls parted.

 “Ready!” Wish and Willow narrowed their eyes, each summoning a pokemon—Charizard appeared proudly behind Wish, as Cyndaquil joined Willow.

 “Type: Fire!” they cried out in unison. “Precure Passionate Inferno!”

 As the heart-shaped, rose gold-tinted blaze spiraled toward Nega-Missingno, it seemed to shift in place, before the flames struck, with no effect.

 “Ground-type!” Dr. Pierce called.

 “Now!” Willow shouted. Sunrise and Starlight leapt up from behind with Brionne and Sharpedo.

 “Type: Water! Precure Wild Geyser!”

 Before Nega-Missingno could react, the pastel-colored, sparkling geyser of water struck it in the back; as it impacted the ground, Fae’s Charizard flew up and unleashed a flamethrower, predicting it would then change its type to grass, burning it in the process.

 “Now!” Sunrise shouted as the girls regrouped.

 “Precure Quartet Refresh!”

 As the refreshing attack purified Nega-Missingno, it seemed to stare at the group, in silence, before slowly fading away…leaving the Cure Dex behind.

 “Ohhh…!” Ataxia stomped a foot, crossing her arms, before glancing at Dr. Pierce. “…..” she vanished.

 ===

 “That was some quick sleuthing you did, Asuka!” Kailani beamed; the girls were seeing off Asuka as she was waiting for the ferry to head home.

 “It was just standard type-advantage logic…” Asuka replied sheepishly.

 “We even have an entry on Nega-Missingno now!” Rotomi piped up from inside the Cure Dex.

 “But now we have a bigger problem,” Naomi spoke up.

 “Yeah,” Fae began, “It looked like Ataxia was specifically targeting Dr. Pierce….”

 “We’ll be sure to check on her every day, then!” Kailani pumped a fist. “And if Mewtwo comes back, he’ll be sure to check on her, I bet.”

 “If he comes back,” Naomi emphasized, “He doesn’t seem keen on forming any kind of bond with us, though.”

 “He wants to keep himself updated on Dr. Pierce’s research, so I’m sure he’ll return,” Asuka reasoned, “Don’t worry…”

 The ferry arrived, and Asuka boarded, waving to the group as the boat set sail. She replayed the day’s battle over in her head—despite it being an amalgamation of code and data, she couldn’t help but feel bad for Nega-Missingno. For the fleeting time it existed, it only knew to fight and defend.

 She sighed, then nodded to herself. That was likely how all nega-evolved pokemon felt. And that was terrible. Stepping away from the rail and going to sit down, that realization was all it too to reaffirm her mission—she would do whatever it took to keep any pokemon for feeling that way for long. She had to work faster, undo the nega-evolutions faster.

Genetics And Windsurfing - Loudness War

[evoldir]

Job: ULjubljana_Slovenia.ConservationBioinformatics

Researcher - Bioinformatics (with relation to Genetics, Ecology and Wildlife Conservation) University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Dpt. of Biology, Animal Ecology Research Group Application Deadline: 7 May 2018, or until the position is filled A full time post-doc or doctorate researcher position is available at Dpt. for Biology, Animal Ecology Research Group. We encourage applications from highly-motivated post docs or researchers with good programming skills. We will also consider candidates with the required skill set but without a finished PhD, with a possibility to enroll in graduate studies at our institution. Starting date: as soon as possible, but no later than June 2018. Duration: 1 year, with possibility of extension. Location: Ljubljana, Slovenia. Keywords: Bioinformatics, Genetics, Wildlife Conservation, Ecology, Brown bear, Ursus arctos, Eurasian lynx, Lynx lynx. JOB DESCRIPTION We invite applications from highly motivated candidates with advanced computer programming / informatics background and passion for wildlife ecology and conservation. The work will be related to two international Life projects, LIFE DINALP BEAR and LIFE LYNX, with strong emphasis on conservation genetics of brown bear (Ursus arctos) and Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx). Specifically, the candidate will work on programming a stochastic simulation system for brown bear population dynamics in Northern Dinaric Mountains and stochastic genetics / population dynamics simulations of lynx population augmentation. Some programming work will also be required in optimization/programming of bioinformatics pipelines for analysis of next-generation sequencing data. Since we're a multidisciplinary and dynamic group, the candidate will also have a possibility to engage in other activities of the group (e.g. fieldwork, other research) when the main obligations will permit. The candidate will also have the opportunity (but not obligation) to develop hers/his own personal research interests within the scope of the work we do. We are looking for candidates that are able to work independently on specific tasks but still function as a part of the team. The working language is English, everyone in the research group speaks it and we have other foreigners working with us. RESEARCH GROUP DESCRIPTION Were a dynamic, multidisciplinary group that combines classic approaches in animal ecology and conservation with molecular genetics and social sciences. While some of our projects are oriented in basic ecology, much of our work is conservation oriented, mainly in conservation of European large carnivores: the wolf, the bear and the lynx. We have considerable laboratory, computing and field resources, and engage in a variety of research projects. Some of our past/current projects (the ones that have nice webpages :o) ) http://bit.ly/2vFDyW3 http://bit.ly/2qT00pH http://bit.ly/2vFDzt5 http://bit.ly/2qSnYl6 EXPECTED SALARY, LIVING The total net salary would be between 1100 V 1500, depending on the academic title (different for BSc, MSc or PhD). The salary is not great compared to western European countries, but enough for a decent living in Slovenia. Living costs in Slovenia are not that high, and Ljubljana is a nice place to live V there are both mountains and the Adriatic Sea close by. A one to two hour drive can take you sailing / swimming / diving / windsurfing / fishing in summer, and a 1/2 hour drive skiing in winter, or hiking / rock climbing in summer. The city is very green, and wildlife areas start right at the outskirts (we've had bears enter city proper). It's a small city which makes it easy to move around, it's relatively bike-friendly, but being a capital we get much more culture (concerts, events, festivals...) than most other cities of this size. It's also clean and safe. http://bit.ly/2vFDA07 REQUIRED SKILLS AND LEVEL The skills listed below are a must to apply to this position. Please list references or some verifiable information, or explain how we can confirm your proficiency. Biology / Life Sciences or Mathematics / Statistics / Computer sciences background, with appropriate achieved degree (typically a PhD, but MSc and BSc candidates will be considered). Computer programming, advanced level. Our preferred programming languages are R, Python and C/C++. Since we do a lot of our simulation programming and analysis in R, any candidate should be either already an advanced R user or demonstrably (e.g. through showing proficiency in another programming language) willing/able to learn R to an advanced level through self-study in a very short time. Linux use and administration, intermediate/advanced V we have a small HPC running CentOS Linux as our primary number cruncher which we administer ourselves, and the candidate should be able to do intermediate maintenance tasks to keep it running. He or she should also be able to use bioinformatics tools in Linux, so an understanding of this OS is a must. DESIRED SKILLS Any of these skills would help you in getting the job: Manipulation and analysis of next-generation sequencing data. Experience in molecular genetics and analysis of genetic data. Experience in genomics and analysis of genomic data. Advanced statistical modelling. Modelling of population dynamics. GIS Mark-recapture modelling Machine learning APPLICATION PROCEDURE An interested candidate should send his/her C.V. and a cover letter explaining why he or she would like this job to tomaz.skrbinsek@gmail.com. Selected candidates will be invited for an interview, in person if feasible, or via Skype. Tomaz Skrbinsek via Gmail

Keep off the pounds by outsmarting your DNA

Natalia Snajdr has constantly been delicate regarding her weight. "I was bigger-boned than the ladies I adulted with, and I battled a lot in senior high school," says the 33-year-old Ottawa environmentalist. It didn't matter whether she occupied jogging, windsurfing or tennis-- absolutely nothing ever appeared to make much difference. Natalia blames her DNA. "Both my moms and dads have solid Eastern European origins, and I have actually always been just what we describe in Czech as 'full-thin.'" Currently, research study shows she may be on to something.

Scientists have uncovered that some genetics make us even more vulnerable to weight gain, while others influence just how well our bodies reply to the time we browse through the treadmill. Don't misery: Whether you're a skilled yo-yo dieter or an irritated gym-goer, there are tested methods you can use to defeat your hereditary makeup.

Don't let your DNA get you down Research recommends that your risk of inheriting a greater body-mass index varies from 40 to 70 percent-- as well as a great deal does depend on your parents. "We understand your threat of obesity increases when one parent is obese," states Ruth Loos, program leader in the MRC Epidemiology System at the Institute of Metabolic Scientific research in Cambridge, UNITED KINGDOM And, she adds, you're up to five times most likely to battle with your weight if both moms and dads are overweight.

" This recommends that there's a familial component in your genetic susceptibility to weight problems," she claims. The concept that a higher threat for weight gain is all in your genetics is questionable-- and Loos is fast to include a caution. "The study has to be interpreted with caution, due to the fact that we discuss not just genetics with our moms and dads, but likewise a common way of life in the method we eat as well as exactly how literally energetic we are."

That said, there are 32 alleles (different versions of the same gene) linked with obesity, as well as every one lugs the risk of practically an extra pound of body weight. "Although it's feasible to bring duplicates of 64 risk alleles, few individuals-- much less than one percent of the total population-- are that unlucky," claims Loos. "Yet we can't inform just by checking out people whether they carry more or less danger alleles." Nor can you tell by taking a journey to the medical professional's workplace, although scientists are dealing with it.

In the meanwhile, should you merely back out, leave the treadmill and also defer to your DNA? Never, says Loos. As a matter of fact, her research shows that if you're physically active every day, you could minimise your vulnerability to excessive weight by 40 percent. "Thirty mins of a minimum of mild activity [like strolling the canine or cycling to function] every day is all you need to reach that decreased degree of danger," she says.

The truth about jock genes For some people, the most awful part of an exercise isn't really the sweating, the muscular tissue pain and even the struggle to just find time to hit the fitness center-- it's that they do not see the outcomes of regularly they spend in spandex. Just as your genetics affect your risk of having a higher BMI, they influence exactly how well your body replies to functioning out. "We have good proof from twin as well as family members studies revealing that there is a significant genetic part influencing just how people react to exercise," claims Tuomo Rankinen, associate professor with the Human Genomics Laboratory at the Pennington Biomedical Study Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. "The wellness advantages from exercise are not one size fits all."

His study identified "reduced" and "high" responders when it pertains to exercising: A low responder is somebody that does not get the exact same physiological gain from workout as average and also high responders, he says. "For instance, a 20-week fitness program could raise aerobic ability by an average of 17 percent in a group of formerly sedentary individuals," he discusses. "However those improvements could vary from no percent for a reduced responder around 50 percent for a high -responder."

How a lot you enjoy developing a sweat could additionally rely on your DNA. "Plainly, there's a genetic component affecting how active we are and how we react to exercise," states Rankinen. "In both cases, we discovered that genetics do play a role, however we do not know the number of are involved or which ones they are."

The key to making one of the most of your DNA Despite Rankinen's findings, your genes aren't a factor to ditch your health club subscription. The opposite is true. "Being a low responder for one characteristic does not suggest you won't have any health and wellness advantages from regular exercising," he claims. "Even if it's more challenging to boost your cardiovascular capacity with workout, you will certainly still experience various other benefits, including reduced blood pressure as well as higher heart-healthy HDL-cholesterol degrees." And also although it could take you longer to check the outcomes you want, the dangers of not working out (consisting of obesity, diabetic issues as well as cardiovascular disease) are simply a few even more reasons to lace up your running shoes.

" Just like lots of lifestyle-related conditions, obesity seems a timeless situation of nature and also nurture," claims Christopher Schofield, a teacher in molecular chemistry at the University of Oxford who has researched the hereditary web link in between genes and body weight. "Both our genetic make-up and also our encounters are crucial." His guidance? Do not fret the research.

" The difference in between individuals who are obese as well as those who are slim is likely a mix of their genetics and, more importantly, their way of life routines," he claims. "Although a person's genetics can impact weight, body-mass index and also enhanced danger of weight problems, they are only component of the tale-- lifestyle selections, such as clever eating and regular exercise, are essential to maintaining a healthy weight."

To decrease your chances of being obese, you just should work with the body you have as well as locate a fitness regimen that's the most effective suitable for you. (Occasionally speaking to an individual trainer, a dietitian or even your family physician can help.)

Natalia Snajdr at some point visited an accredited individual trainer for insight. "I found out about the type of exercises that I need to do, in addition to at just what intensity and also for exactly how long." She started integrating cardio and also weight training 5 days a week and also used a heart screen to track the intensity. With the aid of a much more customized health and fitness program and also healthy diet, Snajdr lost 19 pounds as well as is healthier-- and trimmer-- compared to before. "I always believed it really did not matter what I did, that I would certainly constantly be bigger because that's simply the way I was birthed," she states. "Currently, it feels actually excellent to see positive results after all my difficult job."

Training for your body type Tired of exercising to no get? "If you set reasonable goals, personalize your exercise as well as continually eat well, you'll notice adjustments," claims Pam Mazzuca, a Toronto-based individual trainer and athletic specialist. Below's the best ways to obtain the results you want with the body type you have.

Long & Lean: Ectomorph. Despite their slim form as well as reduced body fat, ectomorphs have the tendency to have a less industrialized muscular system. "Although ectomorphs don't need to do cardio training for weight control, it's still vital for heart health," says Mazzuca. Trainer tip: "This type of body will profit from strength training and Pilates to build muscle and also boost pose."

Strong & Solid: Mesomorph Mesomorphs have the tendency to be organic athletes that are very muscle with big bones and also thick joints. "Due to the fact that mesomorphs react well to exercise, variety is especially useful for them," says Mazzuca. Trainer tip: "This type of body develops muscle a lot more quickly compared to the various other 2 kinds, so it is very important to consist of extending and yoga as component of their regular physical fitness regimen to stay clear of short, bulky-looking muscle mass."

Soft & Round: Endomorph Endomorphs have the tendency to have a fuller form as well as can obtain weight quickly, yet they are also skilled at building muscle. Trainer tip: "Endomorphs must include regular cardio training as component of their programs and train at a greater heart rate to maximize calories burned. Highintensity period training is great for them. Toughness training must be composed of total-body exercises with brief bursts of cardio in between collections for ideal results."

Kayla Kingsley for @heysimbutt‘s Gallagher MMBC

The young fairy Kayla, 21, is a main source of energy among her countless friends, but in her family she feels somewhat lonely because her younger siblings - two sisters and two brothers - would rather spend time at home playing games than go for a jog with her or take up various new hobbies. Basically, she is rarely even seen at home. Kayla is sure that you’ll never change the world unless you make effort and start with your surroundings. It didn’t come as a huge surprise when everyone found out she signed up for a new BC with a lovely bachelorette Rory, because there isn’t a single project in the world where Kayla hasn’t sent her resume. Only this time, she actually got accepted! Kayla can’t wait to meet new people in the house and start making friends - she believes the key to Rory’s heart is to be as noticeable and outstanding as possible, however at the same time she wants to stay herself. But will she have a chance to show her cheerful personality? Is this challenge just an ordinary love competition, or is there something more to discover once they settle down in the house?...

TOU: Don’t claim her as your own or reupload, don’t change her genetics and face features. You can change anything else in her look (hairstyle, makeup, clothes, your own defaults etc.). Tag me if you use her :)

Private download unless she’s murdered.

CC: hair / eyebrows / blush #8 / eyeshadow / eyeliner / lipstick

Interview under the cut.

1. What is your name and preferred pronouns?

I’m Kayla, I go by she/her pronouns.

2. Tell me about yourself.

When I’m asked to list all of the activities I’ve ever done, it can last forever because I have so many stories to share! My personal favourites are extreme things to-do, like bungee jumping, windsurfing, parascending. I’m a fairy and have wings that always ensure my safety, so I’m not afraid of all this stuff! Basically, no single day of mine goes without trying something new, and I'm pretty sure that’s what’s life about.

3. Music is kind of my life, so what’s on your go-to playlist?

Everything! But mostly old rock hits and modern indie rock, like Imagine Dragons and Arctic Monkeys.

4. Describe yourself in three words.

Full of risks!

5. What’s your biggest fear? (Mine’s forgetting my lyrics on stage!)

My biggest fear has always been that one day my life becomes boring and emotionless, which luckily doesn’t seem to be happening.

6. Have you ever committed a crime?

Not really a crime, but... Once me and my friends grabbed a big pack of candies from the grocery and were about to leave, because we’ve always wanted to try how it feels to be chased by police, like in movies. However, no one chased us except for an elderly lady who worked there, and we had to give the candies back because I looked into her sad eyes and knew I can’t do this to her. Quite an unpleasant memory, I must say - I felt bad for days afterwards, but being engaged in new exciting activities quickly helped me to deal with guilt. That’s basically my way of coping with problems.

7. What made you decide to sign up for The Bachelorette Challenge?

Rory seems like someone who wouldn’t call me crazy for my variety of hobbies, unlike people who I dated before. Hopefully the good impression will last, I can’t wait to meet her in person!

8. Lastly, are you sure you’re ready to leave everything, your entire life, behind if/when you win?

As you already know I’m a risky person, so... for someone I really care for, I’d do this. Yeah.

“By joining the current season of The Bachelorette Challenge, I, Kayla, am voluntarily participating in the various activities and challenges that go along with this at my own risk. I, Kayla, am aware of the risks, which may include, but are not limited to, physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, economic or emotional loss, and death. I, Kayla, understand that these injuries or outcomes may arise from my own or others’ negligence and assume all related risks, both known and unknown to me, of my participation in the current season of The Bachelorette Challenge, including travel to and from this activity.”

The main 'prize' of the Cape Verde is actually concealed under the water: the ocean in the location of the island chain teems with daily life, so it is a really good area for water sporting activities as well as diving. Coastal waters are quite deep-seated as well as loaded with reef with a myriad of aquatic life as well as undersea caverns, a labyrinth of passages as well as caves. In the course of the transfer, packs of whales usually seem off the coast of the archipelago at a fairly brief proximity, and oceanic fish shoals help in sporting activity fishing. The Cape Verde can easily boast possessing outstanding coastlines, attribute and high-end, yet several vacationers happened below to obtain away from human being Trek In Cape Verde. http://actourtrekking.com/

 The capital of the country is actually Praia, certainly not abundant in any sort of building views, however it has 2 beautiful beach fronts to the west of midtown region. The so-called Old Town, the initial settlement of Europeans in the island chain, is actually famous for its picturesque Portuguese barrier. As well as to the north of the principal city, there is Tarrafal, a beloved holiday area of townspeople and site visitors to the nation, known for its beautiful beaches.

 The opted out isle of Sal, which has a worldwide airport, gives an excursion through watercraft to several Cape Verde of the archipelago. Listed here one can go to excellent restaurants along with nearby and also Portuguese food or even devote time on tiny, but relaxing seashores of the island.

 Mindelo in Santo Vincente island is actually the biggest metropolitan area in the country and also the simply deep-seated water slot of the island chain.

Journeying through speedboat coming from the isle of Sal is the most ideal way to come to Boavista, the primary tourist center of the island chain Trek In Cape Verde.

 Santa clam Lucia is the only uninhabited island on Cape Verde. Its small dimension - the island is just 5 kilometers broad as well as 13 kilometers in duration - carries out not meddle with the isle's being actually a prominent location in Cape Verde.
