I'm just human. Our task is to try. Being a Death Warrior is all in the trying. --DQ
Francisco X. Stork (The Last Summer of the Death Warriors)
1. Who is a Death Warrior? Anyone can be a Death Warrior, not just someone who is terminally ill. We are all terminally ill. A Death Warrior accepts death and makes a commitment to live a certain way, whether it be for one year or thirty years. 2. When does one become a Death Warrior? There is a specific moment during which you can decide to become a Death Warrior. That moment is when death shows you that you will die. 3. How do you become a Death Warrior? Once you accept that life will end, you can become a Death Warrior by choosing to love life at all times and in all circumstances. You choose to love life by loving. 4. What are the qualities of a Death Warrior? A Death Warrior is grateful for every second of time given and is aware of how precious each second is. Every second not spent loving is wasted. The Death Warrior's enemy is time that is wasted by not loving. 5. Why should you become a Death Warrior? So you can live and die with truth and courage, and because life is too painful when you're wasteful with the time given to you. --The Death Warrior Manifesto, by DQ

Imagine you can see the whole Number Line and every one of the infinite individual points it comprises. Imagine you want a quick and easy way to distinguish those points corresponding to rational numbers from the ones corresponding to irrationals. What you're going to do is ID the rational points by draping a bright-red hankie over each one; that way they'll stand out. Since geometric points are technically dimensionless, we don't know what they look like, but what we do know is that it's not going to take a very big red hankie to cover one. The red hankie here can in truth be arbitrarily small, like say .00000001 units, or half that size, or half that half,...,etc. Actually, even the smallest hankie is going to be unnecessarily large, but for our purposes we can say that the hankie is basically infinitesimally small-call such a size (infinitesimally small symbol). So a hankie of size (infinitesimally small symbol) covers the N.L.'s first rational point. Then, because of course the hankie can be as small as we want, let's say you use only a (Infinitesimally small symbol)/2-size hankie to drape over the next rational point. And say you go on like that, with the size of each red hankie used being exactly (1/2) that of the previous one, for all the rational numbers, until they're all draped and covered. Now, to figure out the total percentage of space all the rational points take up on the Number Line, all you have to do is add up the sizes of all the red hankies. Of course, there are infinitely many hankies, but size-wise they translate into the terms in an infinite series, specifically the Zeno-esque geometric series (1/2^0 +1/2^1 + 1/2^2 +1/2^3 +1/2^4 + ...; and, given the good old a/1-r formula for summing such a series, the sum-size of all the infinite hankies ends up being 2*(Infinitesimally small symbol). But (Infinitesimally small symbol) is infinitesimally small, with infinitesimals being (as we mentioned in Section 2b) so incredibly close to 0 that anything times an infinitesimal is also an infinitesimal, which means that 2*(Infinitesimally small symbol) is also infintesimally small, which means that all the infinite rational numbers combined take up only an infinitesimally small portion of the N.L.-which is to say basically none at all-which is in turn to say that the vast, vast bulk of the points on any kind of continuous line will correspond to irrational numbers, and thus that while the aforementioned Real Line really is a line, the all-rational Number Line, infinitely dense though it appears to be, is actually 99.999...% empty space, rather like DQ ice cream or the universe itself.

90 percent of people with celiac disease have the DQ2 gene, which is more common among those of Northern European descent. Nine percent of them have the DQ8 gene, which is a more common among those of European/Mediterranean descent.” The DQ1 and DQ3 genes are associated more often with gluten intolerance than celiac disease. All combined, it’s estimated 43 percent of Americans are genetically predisposed to celiac disease, and 81 percent are predisposed to gluten intolerance. When it comes to diagnosing celiac disease, other markers to consider are positive antibodies against: • Gliadin, a protein in gluten • Transglutaminase, an enzyme in the intestines • Endomysium, a muscle sheath When any or all of these is positive, it indicates a person is not just gluten intolerant, but has celiac disease.

Other naturally sourced contenders include resveratrol, a compound found in the skin of grapes; curcumin, one of the chemicals which makes turmeric yellow; aspirin, which on top of its many other physiological effects was recently found to enhance autophagy; and quercetin, which we met very recently as half of the D+Q duo. None of these quite has the firm evidence base to suggest that healthy people should take them preventatively, but there’s plenty of biochemical diversity there for researchers to explore.

F.B. «C'è ancora qualcuno che parla dei siriani? Spariti, inghiottiti dal silenzio. Tutti pensano che la guerra laggiù sia finita.» D.Q. «Invece hanno dovuto "arrangiarsi", cercare rifugio in Francia o in Germania. Oppure li abbiamo venduti a Erdogan, abbiamo pagato il sultano turco perché li trattenesse lì. Gli afghani invece li venderemo agli ayatollah iraniani, costruiremo con fondi europei dei bei campi profughi con le tende allineate, e con altri soldi pagheremo gli iraniani perché non li facciano uscire. Sì, siamo capaci di fare anche questo...»

In the past, doctors would only diagnose celiac disease based on positive intestinal biopsy. But Dr. Alessio Fasano of the University of Maryland School of Medicine suggests a more inclusive way to diagnose celiac disease and gluten intolerance or sensitivity. He suggests that any four out of the five factors below are diagnostic.22 I would agree for full-blown celiac, but except for only a positive gene test, I think any of these factors warrants a trial of a strict 100 percent gluten elimination diet for six weeks. And I believe if you have just three out of five criteria, you should be gluten-free for life. 1. You have symptoms of celiac (any digestive, allergic, autoimmune, or inflammatory disease including diabesity). 2. You get better on a gluten-free diet. 3. You have elevated antibodies to gluten (anti-gliadin [AGA] or tissue transglutaminase [TTG] antibodies). 4. You have a positive small intestinal biopsy. 5. You have the genes that predispose you to gluten sensitivity (HLA DQ2/8).

The LAPD crime lab had just recently begun to do DNA testing. None of its technicians was all that experienced in the process. They were perfectly capable of performing the simplest test, called PCR DQ alpha. But it had to be done correctly. When contamination occurs, you get wildly erratic results. That was why I breathed a sigh of relief when I read Collin’s report: in this case, the results were perfectly consistent. Every blood drop on the trail at Bundy displayed O. J. Simpson’s genetic markers, and only his genetic markers. Bull’s-eye.
