One gene comes in two versions, brown (B) and blue (b). The other gene comes in green (G) and blue (b). All eye color and inheritance was thought to be explained by this simple model. Except of course for the fact that it is obviously incomplete.
The model cannot, for example, explain how blue eyed parents can have a brown eyed child. Yet this can and does happen (although it isn’t common).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two of the most important genes in eye color are OCA2 and HERC2. Both come in versions that can cause blue eyes. And they need each other to work. (In genetics, a relationship like this is called epistasis.)
These two facts provide one explanation for how blue eyed parents can have a brown eyed child. To understand how, a little genetics refresher course is in order.
People have two copies of most of their genes. They get one copy from mom and one copy from dad.
These genes can come in different versions (or alleles). For the sake of this discussion, we will say that OCA2 comes in brown (O) and blue (o) versions. Reality is actually a bit more complicated and this will be dealt with in the second article of this series.
HERC2 also comes in two different versions, brown (H) and blue (h). Since people have two copies of each gene, there are nine different possible genetic combinations. They are:
Only this combo can do it:
What it really says is that it is a one in a million chance. He was quick to translate that into 350 in the united states. Don’t you love it!
11/23 Saturday.
My sister in Ogden told me of her fear and trepidation last week as she prepared this talk for her ward and how she felt she needed to get personal but wanted to keep it doctrinal. She gave in and added the personal.
**Gayelinn's talk**:
GRATITUDE
I am grateful to be given the opportunity to speak today. I pray that the Holy Ghost will accompany me, and that the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon us in Power and Abundance.
I would like to begin by reading Jesus’ parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard found in Matthew 20:1-15.
“1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?”
When I was praying about how the Lord would like me to present a talk on Gratitude, I immediately opened my scriptures to this parable. In the margin I have written, “Gratitude = Enough for All” and “Never Compare.”
We often hear the quote in General Conference: Comparison Is the Thief of Joy. This is saying is attributed to Theodore Roosevelt.
If you notice in the parable, in verse 2, the first Laborers hired agree to work for a penny a day. In verse 4, the Householder tells the next laborers hired “and whatsoever is right, I will give you.” To the last laborers in verse 7 he tells them to work, “and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.”
As we move through experiences in life, are we able to trust God that He is giving us whatsoever is right? Do we receive with gratitude whatsoever is right?
D&C 78:17 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you;
18 And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours.
19 And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious;”
I am so grateful for Our Father’s Plan. As I was considering all the many things I am thankful for this week, it was a wonderful experience. The Gospel, Our Savior, His Atonement & Grace, My Children, Priesthood Power, Covenants, Temples, Scriptures, Prophets, The Holy Ghost, Revelation & Gifts of the Spirit, Food, Clothes, Shelter, This Beautiful Earth, My Body & Gift of Life, Friends, Talents, Knowledge…
All these are Gifts to me because of the Plan of Salvation. Most of us are familiar with 2 Nephi chapter 2. It is where Lehi explains God’s Plan to his son Jacob before he dies. He teaches of Agency, & the need for the Holy Messiah; he tells us that men are that they might have Joy, and in verse 11 “ For it must needs be that there is an opposition in all things.”
During our Mortal Probation we learn through paradox. Often it is the hard times that define the good things of God. “And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious;”
“The Prophet Joseph Smith said that one of the greatest sins of which the Latter-day Saints would be guilty is the sin of ingratitude.”
I would prefer to give a talk consisting of scripture and doctrine, but being prayerful, I realized that a talk on Gratitude would be empty and void without personal life experiences. The stories of others always help me, and I remember them and feel strengthened by them. I am so thankful to be part of the Family of God. As each of us adds our own harmony to the melody of Jesus Christ, we create a beautiful symphony. Our unique selves add much to the Lord’s storehouse. D&C 82:18 “And all this for the benefit of the church of the living God, that every man may improve upon his talent, that every man may gain other talents, yea, even an hundred fold, to be cast into the Lord’s storehouse, to become the common property of the whole church.”
The month I graduated from high school, authorities in Southern Utah became aware of the abuse my parents subjected their grandchildren, my siblings, and myself to. Before the investigation was completed, my parents took my youngest brother and left, escaping to the deep woods of the Idaho panhandle. My mother was not a US citizen & my father had dealings with secret societies, so they were unable to be found. I made it through graduation & my best friend helped me move to Salt Lake. I had unscrupulous roommates who stole my portion of the rent money for their own purposes and I ended up homeless, not once but twice. I was so thankful for the shelter, a place to shower and sleep. I was so thankful for my job, so I didn’t have to stay long at the shelter. I also was incredibly grateful for the beautiful hills & trails around Salt Lake where I could hike and breathe in the sanctity of nature after work every day before returning to the shelter to sleep. The Love and Peace of the Abundance of this Majestic Earth have become an integral part of my soul. It is a Blessing that is mine. D&C 104 reads “I, the Lord, stretched out the heavens, and built the earth, my very handiwork; and all things therein are mine.

D&C 104 reads “I, the Lord, stretched out the heavens, and built the earth, my very handiwork; and all things therein are mine.
For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things,” (14 & 17)
I am grateful for God creating this Earth and providing for all that I need.
When I was 23, I got married and had my oldest child, a son. Our marriage only lasted 2 1/2 years, he started drinking alcohol on our wedding night and struggles with that addiction & others still. I know the evils of substance abuse, and am so grateful for God revealing the Word of Wisdom to us in these latter-days. D&C 122 tells us after a long list of awful things that the prophet Joseph Smith went through “that all these things shall give thee experience and shall be for thy good.” In my young adulthood, I studied many philosophies from the I-Ching, Buddhism, Judaism, to Christianity. I saw that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had a good program for raising a family. I became active & have prioritized the suggestions of FHE, prayer, scripture study, and service. Jesus tells the Nephites: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do;” (3 Nephi 27:21)
The word DO is found 5 times in that verse. I did not have a testimony of the Gospel when I began attending church as a single mom, but putting the Gospel into action has given me a testimony that this IS God’s Kingdom here on Earth. Although I have to admit the 13th Article of faith still brings me some trepidation. You know the part about “we have endured many things and hope to be able to endure ALL things.” Well, I am still working on that.
I am not yet like Joseph Smith who said, “And as for the perils which I am called to pass through, they seem but a small thing to me,… deep water is what I am wont to swim in. It all has become a second nature to me; and I feel, like Paul, to glory in tribulation;” (D&C 127:2)
Nor am I like Paul who said, “for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Phillipians 4:11-13)
I am grateful however, for the Gift of Prayer, to come to know my Father, the designer and creator of the universe. He is always available and desires to commune with me. I am grateful for His Son, my Savior, who has paved the way for me and does strengthen me. Prayer anchors my soul. As Paul says in Hebrews 4:16 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
As a young mother I relied heavily on that Grace. My oldest son exhibited behavior disorders and we began counseling when he was only 3. A number of years later, when I delivered my 3rd baby, I contracted bacterial meningitis and spent some time in the ICU, where I was eventually released to go home with a PICC line inserted to administer medicine directly into my heart. While I was hospitalized and very sick, my son had acted out in dangerous behaviors to some children in the family, and some neighborhood children. CPS was involved and my son was removed from my home and placed in state’s custody. At this very dark time I was given one of my life’s greatest gifts. The Power of the Temple. As I went regularly and often, I felt the peace and healing that the Temple gives. In a portion of prayer (D&C 109:22) the Prophet pleads, “And we ask thee, Holy Father, that thy servants may go forth from this house armed with thy power, and that thy name may be upon them, and thy glory be round about them, and thine angels have charge over them;”
In the Temple we see love in action. There is always someone willing to help, always kindness, always a smile. Miracles happen in the Temple. Through the ordinances the power of God is manifested. I know that the Temple IS the house of the Lord. I developed a stronger trust in my Savior. Abraham 2:8 says “My name is Jehovah, and I know the end from the beginning; therefore my hand shall be over thee.” I am so grateful that He knows the end from the beginning and that His Hand is over me and my children.
I love the promise in D&C 123:16-17 “You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves.
17 Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.”
I know that the work we participate in in the Temple is so much larger than we can fathom - bringing about God’s Glorious Plan blessing all His Children on both sides of the Veil! I thank my Father for the honor and privilege to live NOW in the history of the Earth, and to live HERE where we have an abundance of Temples. I am super grateful to be part of the Gathering of Israel. I LOVE this part of God’s Plan. I love President Nelson inviting us to participate in this as we prepare for the Savior’s Glorious 2nd Coming.
In the Book of Mormon, Alma counsels his son Coriantumr about this life being a probationary state, a time for men to prepare to meet God, and explains again the Plan of Redemption and the law of opposition with justice and mercy, endless punishment and eternal happiness dependent upon repentance. Amulek also testifies of the importance of this plan of redemption saying, “For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.” (Alma 34:32)
Mormon exhorts us to be “true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure.” (Moroni 7:48)
We are taught that we came to Earth to receive a body and to be tested. Sister Linda Reeves in Oct. 2015 Gen. Conf. said, “Sisters, I do not know why we have the many trials that we have, but it is my personal feeling that the reward is so great, so eternal and everlasting, so joyful and beyond our understanding that in that day of reward, we may feel to say to our merciful, loving Father, “Was that all that was required?” … What will it matter,…what we suffered here if, in the end, those trials are the very things which qualify us for eternal life and exaltation in the kingdom of God with our Father and Savior?
In closing, One time in the Bountiful Temple, I opened the Bible to Revelation. In it, the word ‘Overcometh’ was marked in red. Listen to these promises:
(2:7) To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
(2:11) He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
(2:17) To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
(2:26&28) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: … And I will give him the morning star.
(3:5) He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
(3:12) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
(21:7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
(3:21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Imagine for a moment, sitting with Jesus in His Throne, sitting with our Father in His Throne. Where are you exactly if you are sitting with Him in His Throne? Can you see yourself on His lap, or sitting close to Him? I testify that this promise is real. It is true. I know it. I am His Daughter. You are His Child, He has a Perfect Plan for each of us. He has provided the way through His Only Begotten Son. It is my hope that I can receive whatsoever is right with Gratitude. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next come my responses:-v
Jesus’ parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard found in Matthew 20:1-15 <That parable is so advanced. It does not make any logical sense. What a way to start!
When I was praying about how the Lord would like me to present a talk on Gratitude, I immediately opened my scriptures to this parable. In the margin I have written, “Gratitude = Enough for All” and “Never Compare.” < Aha! You are one of those people who pray about their talks.
As we move through experiences in life, are we able to trust God that He is giving us whatsoever is right? Do we receive with gratitude whatsoever is right? < Nope. Not me. I don't dare trust Him yet.-v
During our Mortal Probation we learn through paradox. Often it is the hard times that define the good things of God. “And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious;” < PARADOX what a creative/clever way to remind us of living by faith.
I would prefer to give a talk consisting of scripture and doctrine, but being prayerful, I realized that a talk on Gratitude would be empty and void without personal life experiences. The stories of others always help me, and I remember them and feel strengthened by them. I am so thankful to be part of the Family of God. As each of us adds our own harmony to the melody of Jesus Christ, we create a beautiful symphony. Our unique selves add much to the Lord’s storehouse. D&C 82:18 “And all this for the benefit of the church of the living God, that every man may improve upon his talent, that every man may gain other talents, yea, even an hundred fold, to be cast into the Lord’s storehouse, to become the common property of the whole church.” < You told me about this. And it surely makes sense. In a way you are warning everyone that what you are about to share makes you vulnerable. Nice job with that, for me, unfamiliar but potent scripture.
I had unscrupulous roommates who stole my portion of the rent money for their own purposes and I ended up homeless, not once but twice. <$10 word, unscrupulous <This makes me groan. <Look at you. . . you are daring to share your nitty gritty ugly bugly challenging adolescent story! WOW! No wonder you needed courage!
I was so thankful for the HOMELESS shelter, a place to shower and sleep. I was so thankful for my job, so I didn’t have to stay long at the shelter. I also was incredibly grateful for the beautiful hills & trails around Salt Lake where I could hike and breathe in the sanctity of nature after work every day before returning to the shelter to sleep. < LIVING IN A SHELTER AND FEELING GRATEFUL. . . wait a minute, this doesn't make sense. Adrian does the same thing. He feels gratitude so deeply for the smallest of things. You are definitely a "half full cup" person.
The word DO is found 5 times in that verse. I did not have a testimony of the Gospel when I began attending church as a single mom, but putting the Gospel into action has given me a testimony that this IS God’s Kingdom here on Earth. < great point!!! Do. Plus a confession. . . so sweet and vulnerable.
Although I have to admit the 13th Article of faith still brings me some trepidation. You know the part about “we have endured many things and hope to be able to endure ALL things.” Well, I am still working on that. <This one makes me giggle and makes you very relate-able/ human.
I am not yet like Joseph Smith who said, “And as for the perils which I am called to pass through, they seem but a small thing to me,… deep water is what I am wont to swim in. It all has become a second nature to me; and I feel, like Paul, to glory in tribulation;” (D&C 127:2)
Nor am I like Paul who said, “for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Phillipians 4:11-13)<<These make the point well. Nice quotes! Man you must be brilliant!
Prayer anchors my soul. < Mine too. Sometimes I have to stop and visit with HF once an hour. And I know he doesn't mind. That is when I am feeling particularly insecure or unsafe.
While I was hospitalized and very sick, my son had acted out in dangerous behaviors to some children in the family, and some neighborhood children.< Just the right amount of tact balanced with exposure.
The Power of the Temple. As I went regularly and often, I felt the peace and healing that the Temple gives. In a portion of prayer (D&C 109:22) the Prophet pleads, “And we ask thee, Holy Father, that thy servants may go forth from this house armed with thy power, and that thy name may be upon them, and thy glory be round about them, and thine angels have charge over them;” < And this blessing can be available to us all if we are willing. As you know I ended up here every week to invite God to shoulder my burdens for decades. I was proud of myself but when I look at how many times you sometimes went each week and still do, my efforts pale in comparison. But Comparison is the thief of joy, like you said.
In the Temple we see love in action. There is always someone willing to help, always kindness, always a smile. Miracles happen in the Temple. Through the ordinances the power of God is manifested. < Great declaration and then that thoughtful scripture phrase. What is the power of God? It is the power to bless us and that's what happens in every ordinance!
I know that the Temple IS the house of the Lord. I developed a stronger trust in my Savior. Abraham 2:8 says “My name is Jehovah, and I know the end from the beginning; therefore my hand shall be over thee.” I am so grateful that He knows the end from the beginning and that His Hand is over me and my children. <Tease: what is all this witnessing? What is all this meat? Give us a rest, Gayelinn. So powerful.
I love the promise in D&C 123:16-17 “You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves.
17 Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.”<Pretty. Beautiful. And that little helm can give us hope. Here Jesus, take over, guide me.
I thank my Father for the honor and privilege to live NOW in the history of the Earth, and to live HERE where we have an abundance of Temples. < In my vmail tonight I shared the partying declared in these verses:71 And the Lord of the vineyard said unto them: Go to, and alabor in the vineyard, with your might. For behold, this is the blast time that I shall cnourish my vineyard; for the end is nigh at hand, and the season speedily cometh; and if ye labor with your might with me ye shall have joy in the fruit which I shall lay up unto myself against the time which will soon come.
75. . . my vineyard is no more corrupted, and the bad is cast away, behold ye shall have djoy with me because of the fruit of my vineyard.
Guess who we get to party with? The Lord of the vineyard!!
‘Overcometh’ < These promises go way way deep! Rewards we can't even understand.
(3:21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Imagine for a moment, sitting with Jesus in His Throne, sitting with our Father in His Throne. Where are you exactly if you are sitting with Him in His Throne? Can you see yourself on His lap, or sitting close to Him? I testify that this promise is real. It is true. I know it. I am His Daughter. You are His Child, He has a Perfect Plan for each of us. He has provided the way through His Only Begotten Son. It is my hope that I can receive whatsoever is right with Gratitude. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.<Way to challenge us! What powerful words and statements and promise. You are such a blessing to have speak to a ward. Your studies and deliberations have given you power. Or you are gifted. Or both.

I have been watching Youtube vids. I watched the beginning of the following video and started reading the comments. I watched them eating those meals. They ate with their fingers and they had one flat wide bowl of greenish soup. It was gross.-v And yet one of the guys commented that he went to school just for the food! Amazing.

I just wrote a question/ complaint to Indexing. This is what I wrote:
I have been working on Costa Rica-registros civiles, nacimientos, Parte C. This next sentence is a HUGE complaint: Under field help:Birth Place it says,"Do not type the province in this field." But both of the examples, BOTH, use the provincia:Alajuela!!!
I work at the FSC in Saint George. As i helped Brother Heaps today, who also works here, I saw that sentence that said: Do not type the province in this field.
I am so forlorn. I have put thousands and thousands of provinces in these last two or three months while reviewing because that is what both examples showed. Argh!!
:(
The good news, if they already had the city or district or canton, at least I did not erase it. I just added Puntarenas or Alajuela or San Jose or Guanacaste or Heredia or Limon. As you can see I know the provincias.
Help!

PS. Let's get our act together.

Type the name of the birth place as it was written. Do not correct misspellings or expand abbreviations.
Do not include punctuation, except hyphens and apostrophes when they were written as part of the place-name.
Do not type the province in this field.
Many types of localities may have been recorded. Type only the following localities, according to this priority. (If multiple place-names were mentioned, type the one that is highest in the priority list.)
- Birth city or town (according to the record type of the document).

So when you looked at the JS timeline did anything stick out to you? @ I watched an anti mormon JS video on Youtube that said JS was never persecuted and never told anyone his story. Ouch. This caption really jumped out at me.
