mimicked heredity? (eating habits - an all sports issue)

mimicked heredity? (eating habits - an all sports issue)
again, a google search here will not return this above chosen title, ... yet...

could this be that much needed story for changing lifestyles, or is it just out of
an impulse against a possible bad heredity?

ex:
the author would like to point out in advance here, that this ex.:
- uses analogy, to "go" from mouse models to cancer issues...
- in its novelty, has purely the purpose of keeeping our readers informed.
- tackles only mimicked heredity, be it as a connotation for us all, or not..
  (for cancer pathologies, strictly speaking, pls. address your gp at all times.)  

- uses conclusions given in two scientific works, below, namely:
   "vertically transmitted faecal immunoglobulin a levels determine
    extra-chromosomal phenotypic variation." (2/16/15)
    authors: Clara Moon, Megan T. Baldridge, Meghan A. Wallace,
                 Carey-Ann D. Burnham, Herbert W. Virgin &
                 Thaddeus S. Stappenbeck, (nature)  
   "risk factors and prevalence of helicobacter pylori infection in persistent
    high incidence area of gastric carcinoma in Yangzhong city." (1/14/14)
    authors  Yangchun Zhu, Xiaoying Zhou, Junbei Wu, (hindawi)
   
the question here:
if the results in the 1st work (published 2/16/15), showed that female mice 
can pass down a bacterium (sutterella), to their offspring, that causes them to 
have intestinal problems, mimicking a genetic disease, what can be said then, 
with regard to the results in the 2nd work (published 1/14/14), about the 
spreading of this other bacterium (helicobacter pylori (immunoglobulin g))?

our emotional moment on skate1st...

our emotional moment on skate1st...

sometimes, right in the middle of our work, someone, maybe completely
unknown &/or possibly inspired (or not :) ) by one of our ideas, gives us a sign,
a thumbs-up (or down :) ), a tweet, an e-mail... and this changes us forever...
and, as of today, on skate1st, maybe this someone might find himself, here below,
as our friend.

therefore, ...would like to take this opp. and kindly thank to:
Mr.. Cory Lee (t:: coryleetweets); he took a moment, not only to "push" the
twitter "follow" button for skate1st (t:: catun_)
but, here's what Mr. Cory Lee says about himself on: curbfreewithcorylee
"...also happen to have wheels for legs (not literally)..."
".. want to share my accessible (and to my dismay, sometimes not so accessible)
 adventures with you."
"...hopefully ...can inspire you to start rolling around the world."

Mr. Cory Lee,  you just made our moment emotional,
thanks!

the engineer "malgré lui"?

the engineer "malgré lui"?

this is in no way an anti-engineering satire, as it was Moliere's anti-médicale satire:: 
"le medicin malgré lui"
on the contrary dear reader, don't you think it's time to give engineers & you, the
respect they & you, really deserve?

written...in recognition of Rodney Mullen's (t: mullenrodney) extraordinary achievements
as a skateboarder; he is one of those who created & still creates what never was,
without having an engineering background.
in this respect, he was & is an engineer "in spite of himself", or as they would say in
french: "malgré lui".   
check out some of his tricks, the: "darkslide", "kickflip", "underflip", "heelflip",
do you think that he made them possible & generally repeatable, using his
... "geometrical thinking and intelligence?" as defined in skate1st's post, written 7/6/14? :)

... more here than meets the eye...

also have your say here...
in the wake of higher education systems becoming more expensive pretty much
everywhere, tell others like you (engineers or not), what your present concerns.
might be...
