Current Replications Of The Strange Situation

I really need help on these 4 questions , help?

1. Mitochondria would be my first answer as most insecticides act on them: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19278...

Ribosomes would technically be correct too(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10732... but mitochondria would be a more obvious pathway when you consider the importance of mitochondria to energy production.

2. Competition would occur. However, the question says they temporarily are in the same niche. This is implying that something would change, such as changing nesting behavior. The most correct answer would be competition since the question doesn't provide evidence for nest changing behavior.

3. Biotic factors. Biotic factors are basically any living component that effects another organism. That's what food chains are describing.

4. Chemical structure. All three are proteins, and proteins act by binding to receptors. This is a lock and key mechanism where the chemical structure needs to correct. If there is a slight difference, they will not be able to bind to their receptor.

Is it disrespectful for a professional tattoo artist to work on the original art of a fellow tattoo artist?

To me it depends on the situation. If I know the other artist I’ll always ask the artist in question if it’s cool. That’s where the respect thing comes in. Sometimes I don’t know the artist, but respect their work. In that case it depends largely on what the client says. Maybe they had some falling out with the artist, the artist moved, quit tattooing (I can’t fathom it but it does happen), etc. Any of those and I’ll do it.Sometimes people want things added to another piece because they like how the style of the original artist will flow with my style added into it. I’ve got pieces like that myself. different artists styles fusing into one another because I like the flow.Other times it’s just a bad or regrettable tattoo. If it’s badly done then it’s understandable why they want someone else to work on it. If it’s regrettable (like and ex’s name) then I usually ask why not get the original artist to cover it. Some artists won’t cover their own stuff like that even when they know full well that it’s probably gonna be a future cover up.Another example that happened a few years ago: This chick got some work from a friend of mine. Later on she got with a dude who hated tattoos and paid to have them lasered off. After her and the dude broke up she came back to my friend wanting more work done. She tried to apologize and explain why she had her ink lasered. He called her a dumbass and refused. A couple weeks later she came to me. I refused for the reasons of how much she disrespected my friend and his art by having it lasered just to please some dick that wouldn’t accept her for who she was.

During the thirteen days after a death in a Hindu family, does the soul remain present with their family members?

Hindu death rituals are explained in Grihya Sutra which I have not read. There is some coverage about it in Garuda Purana which talks of a 11-day sraddha and not 13-day mentioned in the question.Here are some passages from Garuda Purana that talks about what happens during the 11-day period.No sraddha can propitiate the soul so long as it does not enter the body. If the soul is not propitiated daily during the ten days (after it leaves the body) it will have to wander in the ether without food, agitated by hunger.The soul (of the deceased) stays in the water for three days, in the fire for three days, and in the ether for three days, For one day, it stays in Indra's heaven.When the body has been burnt in fire, the descendent should offer water libation to the departed soul. The mourners should take bath and feed upon the cake or the rice-meal.They shoul perform the Nautaka sraddha on odd days, viz., the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and the eleventh.Whether at the threshold of the house or at the cremation round or in a holy place or in a temple, wherever the first days's rites are performed, the concluding rites too should be performed there.The Sraddha on the eleventh day is common to all castes. There is a ceremonial ablution for purification.After performing the eleventh day sraddha they become free from impurity accruing from death. After the ceremonial bath, they should gift a bed to the Brahmana. This releases the dead from pretahood. If there is no member of the same clan for the performance of the rite, another man can perform the same.Garuda Purana, Dharma Khanda, Chapter XXXIVThe reasons for the 11-day sraddha as given by Garuda Purana are:(1) to prevent the deceased from wandering about in space without food;(2) to free the descendents of the deceased from the impurity accruing from death; and(3) to release the dead from pretahood.
