B chromosome

**B chromosomes** are chromosomes which are not needed for the life of a species. They are also called 'supernumerary' or 'accessory chromosomes'.

In addition to normal chromosomes (the karyotype), many species have B chromosomes. Wild populations of many animal, plant, and fungi species have B chromosomes. These chromosomes are not essential for their life, and are lacking in many individuals. So a population might have individuals with 0, 1, 2, 3 (etc.) supernumeraries.

Most B chromosomes are mainly or entirely heterochromatic, and so do not code for anything. Some, such as the B chromosomes of maize, contain sizeable euchromatic segments, and therefore do code for some products.

It seems unlikely that supernumeraries would survive in a species unless there was some positive advantage. In a few cases this has been identified. For instance, the British grasshopper _Myrmeleotettix maculatus_ has B chromosomes with a satellite DNA. They occur in warm, dry environments, and are scarce or absent in humid, cooler places.

It is thought that B chromosomes are parasitic elements like selfish DNA. Various scenarios have been suggested as to how they arose.

Yigal Amir

**Yigal Amir**, Hebrew: יגאל עמיר , (born May 23, 1970 in Herzliya) is an Israeli murderer.

Amir is serving a life sentence in prison for assassinating Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on November 4, 1995.

His motivation was political. He was strongly against the Oslo Accords and targeted Rabin because of his peace efforts with the Palestinians, which he saw as against the interests of Israeli Jews.

Amir is an Orthodox Jew from a Yemenite Jewish background. At the time of the murder he was studying law and computer science at Bar-Ilan University and also Jewish law.

Because he murdered the country's head of government, this made Amir an assassin. He was found guilty and sent to prison, where he still is. Israel does not have the death penalty.

Lüscher color test

The **Lüscher color test** is a psychological test invented by Dr. Max Lüscher in Basel, Switzerland. Lüscher believed that sensory perception of color is "all shared by all", but that color preferences are not. This difference allows subjective states to be objectively measured by using test colors.

Lüscher believed that because the color selections are guided in a specific manner, they reveal the person as they really are, not as they perceive themselves or would like to be perceived.

## How it works

|Colors|Meanings|
| --- | --- |
|Blue|“Depth of Feeling” passive, concentric, tranquility, calm, tenderness|
|Green|“Elasticity of Will” passive, concentric, defensive, persistence, self-esteem/assertion, pride, control|
|Red|“Force of Will” ex-centric, active aggressive, competitive, action, desire, excitement, sexuality|
|Yellow|“Spontaneity” ex-centric, active, projective, aspiring, expectancy, exhilaration|
|Violet|“Identification” unrealistic/ wishful fulfillment, charm, enchantment|
|Brown|Bodily senses, indicates the body’s condition|
|Black|Nothingness, renunciation, surrender or relinquishment|
|Grey|Non-involvement and concealment|
