  • Successful Weight Loss After Pregnancy

    How fast you lose weight will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of weight you gained during your pregnancy.

    Most women will lose anywhere from 10-14 pounds within the first 2 weeks of delivery. This weight may be attributed primarily to the loss of excess fluid in the body, the baby's weight, the placenta and amniotic fluid. Some women might lose a little bit less, and others might lose a little bit more.

    As the uterus shrinks back down to its normal size and your hormone levels continue to fall, you will lose weight. Most women gain at least 7 pounds of fat du ...

  • Anti-Wrinkle Lifestyle Tips

    Experts say that, when it comes to getting wrinkles, 10% is genetics -- but the other 90% is environment and lifestyle. This is great news! Why? Because it means that you have A LOT of control over your skin and how badly - and quickly - it wrinkles. In fact, you can begin today to make lifestyle changes that will literally save your skin and prevent wrinkles as long as possible. Specifically, the following lifestyle tips are proven to protect and nurture your skin:

    1. Protect your skin from the sun - Without a doubt, the sun is your skin's worst enemy. The ultraviolet radiation in su ...

  • Secrets of The Mathematical Symmetry of Nature and Patterns of Erosion

    As scientists and theorists study patterns, design, chaos, complexity they often turn to nature for examples and there is plenty of examples in nature too. The stripes on a zebra, patterns on a butterfly, spider webs, leafs on a tree, scales on a fish, seashells, brain waves, muscle structure, texture of granite, spider webs, Earth cycles, waves on the ocean, wind flow, clouds in the sky, Rainbows, Solar System, structure of a meteorite and even DNA itself.

    One pattern of nature we often do not discuss is the patterns of erosion, which we can see better from an airplane, satellite pho ...

    Awakening gene therapy with Sleeping Beauty transposons.
    Publication Date: 2005 Aug 3 PMID: 16084771Authors: Essner, J. J. - McIvor, R. S. - Hackett, P. B.Journal: Curr Opin PharmacolSleeping Beauty transposons have the potential for use as chromosome-integrating vectors for non-viral gene therapy. Recent preclinical data from mouse models for human genetic disorders have shown efficacy for the Sleeping Beauty transposon system in the treatment of hemophilia, tyrosinemia type I, junctional epidermolysis bullosa and type 1 diabetes. Methods have also been developed to deliver Sleeping Beauty transposons to the lung, liver and tumors for treatments for cystic fibrosis, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and cancer. Recent studies characterizing site selection for integration and insertional mutagenesis indicate that the Sleeping Beauty transposon system may be a safer alternative than viral approaches for gene therapy.


     
    		 
     


  • The Monster's Mother

    Somewhere in the world, every eight seconds, a mother is throwing her hands in the air and declaring that her child is a little monster. But for Echidna it was the literal truth.

    Echidna was called the mother of all monsters, although her children numbered no more than a dozen or so, and many were exemplary offspring and a pride to any parent. They may still roam the earth in the quiet unseen places, waiting the day when a new Hero will come to challenge them.

    There are many arguments about Echidna's exact lineage, but who amongst us can vouch for every union in our own backgrou ...

  • Increase in Solar Radiation and Skin Cancer of Pilots

    There has been a recent increase in the past decade of skin cancer among pilots; it is an interesting phenomena. Some say we have only recently noticed this because people are living longer and we are flying more international flights and planes are flying at higher altitudes. If you are a airline pilot or Military pilot check and see if what has been observed relates to your own personal observations.

    It has been noticed that more and more people have red faces than before. Especially pilots, bus drivers, construction workers and even a few of us work outside types. It has been obser ...

  • Heretical Chinese House Churches

    One of the more insightful warnings Christians can receive bears on relationships with other Christians. It goes something like this: Do you want to ignore what other Christians say and do? That’s like giving your charitable donations to donkeys and reindeer.

    That’s an alarm more deafening than the siren of a nearby fire station when you consider what’s happening among some house churches in China, as reported in the ‘Outlook” section of The Washington Post on Nov. 28, 2004.

    Three Grades of Servants, a house church that claims to have several million followers, is organized arou ...
