"Serving as a replacement workforce is a long-held suspicion about the function of 'lazy' ants," says one of the researchers, Anna Dornhaus, "but it was just an assumption and never had been empirically confirmed."
In other tests, when only the inactive ants were taken out of the colony, the ants opted not to allocate individuals to prop up their reserves department. So while the B team is always ready to step things up, that 'job' of being lazy was not considered something that needed bolstering from other, more active jobs around the nest.
”S’A Lazy Day
So, while some of us might pine for the idyllic, leisure-filled life of the lazy ant, it's not an existence without its own compromises: chiefly, being aware that in the eyes of your well-regarded, go-getter colleagues, you're an anonymous, disposable unit of labour.
manière (f.) [MAn YA-R] way. J'aime pas la manière qu'il me regarde. (I don't like the way he looks at me.)(adv.) kind of; sort of. Mon beau-frère est manière paresseux. (My brother-in-law is kind of lazy.)
As I mentioned in the comment, the somewhat tricky bit is that you don't want to accidentally force the computation of the state too soon. Unfortunately to get the mutual recursion right, you're also forced to temporarily make the computation's answers (which are flowing forward) lazy as well. So the basic rule of thumbs are:
I knew what he meant. We haven't gone that long without each other since our daughter Andi was born almost ten years ago now. Depending on our schedule, we go at it two to five times a week and can lose count on the weekends. We haven't been apart this long since we got married. His left arm wormed it's way between my body and the mattress to claim my left breast, while his right hand began moving down to caress my belly, setting a lazy course towards his ultimate goal.
For the most part, the extrovert in me enjoys visiting different places and meeting new people, while my introverted side fancies a lazy day at home with a warm cup of hot chocolate watching it rain from my bedroom window. I also enjoy experimenting with new cooking recipes and exploring various cafés and restaurants in the city.
Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. Some evidence suggests that taking citicoline by mouth might improve learning, memory and information processing (cognitive function) in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
Lazy eye (amblyopia). Early research suggests that giving citicoline as a shot for 15 days might improve vision in people with a lazy eye.
Bipolar disorder. Early research suggests that taking citicoline does not improve depression or manic symptoms in people with bipolar disorder and cocaine addiction.
Cocaine addiction. Early research suggests that taking citicoline might reduce cocaine use in people with bipolar disorder and cocaine addiction.
Glaucoma. Developing evidence suggests that citicoline might improve vision in some people with glaucoma.
Vision loss due to blockage of the optic nerve (ischemic optic neuropathy). Early research suggests that taking a specific citicoline product (Cebrolux-Tubilux) for 60 days might improve vision in people with ischemic optic neuropathy.
Memory. Early research suggests that taking citicoline might improve memory, learning, and speaking ability in people with brain injury due to trauma. Other research suggests that citicoline might improve some aspects of memory in elderly people.
Muscle strength. Early research suggests that injecting citicoline intravenously (by IV) might improve muscle strength in people recovering from a type of stroke called a cerebral hemorrhage that was not caused by trauma.
Parkinson's disease. Some research shows that giving citicoline as a shot along with usual treatment might improve some of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but not shaking (tremor).
Recovery after surgery. Early research suggests that taking citicoline 24 hours before surgery and for 4 days after surgery might reduce symptoms of delirium after surgery in elderly people.
Vascular dementia. Taking citicoline does not seem to improve symptoms in people with vascular dementia.
Attention deficit-hyperactive disorder (ADHD).
Head trauma.
Other conditions.
More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of citicoline for these uses. 2ff7e9595c
