Offering gifts for life

چکیده
It can be a symbol, a sign or an example. The doctors and students in medicine not only fight to prolong the life of the patients but also fight to offer quality to their lives by giving for life. It was not for the first time in my live when I witnessed an act of normality, which, maybe, only the ones who give themselves or will give themselves to assure the health of their kind are able to do it. Everything started from an initiative of “Elena Vacarescu” Gymnasium School, “Kinderakademie” Kindergarten and “Pisicile Aristocrate” Kinndergarten, with the help of the School Inspectorate of Bucharest (ISMB), to organize a charity fair for Christmas, at Verona Garden, for Tessa Serban, a 6-year-old girl who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The initiative of organizing the fair for Christmas gave reasons for many reaction echoes, among which, we will particularly mention one. Mirela Timiras, who took part in the organizing team of the Christmas Fair, decided to be more than only a member of the team and organized, together with the members of Proiectul Tivodar and Journey Pub, a charity concert to sustain this case. All the funds that have been raised as a result of the event being transferred to Tessa’s parents. “Proiectul Tivodar” Band held an acoustic concert for Tessa on December 9, 2104, in the welcoming and intimate atmosphere of Journey Pub in Bucharest.

In this species, males without gifts experience a reducti...
متن کاملSensory exploitation as an evolutionary origin to nuptial food gifts in insects.
Nuptial food gifts given by males to females at mating are widespread in insects, but their evolutionary origin remains obscure. Such gifts may arise as a form of sensory trap that exploits the normal gustatory responses of females, favouring the selective retention of sperm of gift-giving males. I tested this hypothesis by offering foreign food gifts, synthesized by males of one cricket specie...

So everybody’s happy? Not necessarily. Although the term ‘gift’ may have a positive ring to it, female fitness may not only be enhanced, but also remain unaffected or even reduced by receiving nuptial gifts. The term ‘Medea gifts’ has been used to refer to gifts that reduce a female’s lifetime fitness. Drosophila melanogaster males, for instance, transfer seminal fluid proteins that may acceler...
