  • Publish Your Novel on the First Try

    Rejection. This scary word plagues virtually every writer this side of John Grisham. It stops many writers in their tracks and often leads them to a new line of work. If your one of the millions of Americans who have a passion for writing and dream of seeing your novel on the shelves of Barnes & Noble and Borders Books, don't let fear of Rejection scare you off. Follow this simple formula, and you can publish your novel on the very first try.

    The secret to getting published is both simple and complex. The simple part is two-pronged. First, you need a modicum of writing skill. Now, you ...

  • An Introduction to Gastric Bypass Surgery
    Obesity, once seen as akin to laziness and overeating, is now understood as a complex disorder having to do with genetics and hormonal as well as lifestyle factors. People seem to have very different energy requirements; some can eat half as much as others and weigh the same.

    By some estimates, as many as 20% of Americans are obese with 6-10% classified as morbidly obese (having a body mass index of 40 or greater, or being more than 100 pounds overweight), a health problem with severe consequences that can include hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, ...

  • Science and Religion (Part 1)
    Could life have evolved by accident? Are we alone in the universe? These are the questions which have pounded the consciousness of individuals. Plus this no less persistent question: what is the purpose of life? Dinosaurs have come and gone. Modern man—Homo sapiens—has landed on the moon. Satellites map our solar system. New planets are being discovered on a regular basis. New theories proposed. Old ones discredited. Genetics, a new field of study—though not so new—ready to re-invent this singular species: mankind. Men of science and of faith are no further apart as a test tube from a pulpit. ...

    An insecure role for Securin in chromosome segregation
    A paper published in the open access journal PLoS Biology shows that previously reported chromosome instability and loss due to Securin gene knockout is a transient effect; human cells may have compensatory mechanisms to overcome Securin gene loss.


    Y Chromosome May Not Be Doomed
    The human Y chromosome -- the DNA chunk that makes a man a man -- has lost so many genes over evolutionary time that some scientists have suspected it might disappear in 10 million years. But a new study says it'll stick around. By Associated Press

  • The Secret of Solving Problems & Manifesting Your Dreams
    Everything in our lives we have had a hand in creating.
    What we think, feel and believe deep inside becomes real in
    the physical world.

    Take for example the war in Iraq.

    Cases of kidnapping and car bombings have skyrocketed in
    recent months. Despite the best efforts of our armed forces
    and the appointment of Iraq's Interim Government, the
    situation on the ground is rife with violence and terrorism.

    Rightly or wrongly, the justification for war was based on
    two things. First of all that Saddam was stockpiling
    weapons of mass destruction that posed a thr ...

  • A Stitch In Time Saves Nine - Prevention not Cure

    It is a sad fact that most people pay little attention to their health until it is at risk. It is only then that people truly realise that health and wellbeing is far more important than money, and that all the money in the world cannot always buy health.

    From an early age we learn that prevention is better than cure - a stitch in time saves nine. Nowhere is this more true than in caring for our health, and with our health we don't always get a second chance if something goes wrong.

    With the exception of some factors determined by genetics our general state of health is essentia ...

  • Lab Tests - What Can They Tell You About Your Health?
    (NC)-It's one of the most common phrases you hear from your doctor:

    "I just want to run a few tests." Laboratory tests are among the most important aspects of modern health care. The College of American Pathologists estimates that "laboratory services drive more than 70 percent of clinical decisions from diagnosis through therapy and prognosis."

    Lab tests are carried out to measure or detect substances in a person's body. These tests are important and are used by doctors to make informed decisions about your health and the appropriate treatment required. For some conditions, there is jus ...
