Why Are We So Fat? The Real Reason For The Obesity Epidemic
Copyright 2006 Tom Venuto
Why Are We So Fat? That’s the question asked in the cover story of a recent issue of National Geographic magazine.
“Americans enjoy one of the most luxurious lifestyles on Earth: Our food is plentiful. Our work is automated. Our leisure is effortless. And it’s killing us,” says Geographic senior writer Cathy Newman.
Some of the latest facts and statistics about obesity revealed in the article are chilling:
* One out of three Americans is obese, twice as many as three decades ago
* The Center for Disease control and Prevention (CDC) h ...

Paternity Testing - Are You Raising Someone Else's Child?
The dawn of the DNA test
Back in the 1700s, the best way to determine paternity was by a good hard look and the child, followed by a good hard look at the father. Enough coincidences and maybe a relationship could be proposed. A hundred years later, eye color was discovered to be a paternity identifier. This theory has had its flaws exposed because of recent DNA advances. We now know that eye color is determined by at least six alleles, or genetic markers. Paternity testing has become a lot easier and affordable over the past few years due to advances in DNA science. Although a ...

Birth abnormality rates could increase if proposed changes to prenatal testing go ahead
A proposed change to the type of prenatal genetic testing offered to couples in the UK could result in certain chromosome abnormalities being missed, suggests a study published online today (Thursday June 30, 2005) by The Lancet.
Genetic Testing Still Smart Choice
Screening embryos for genetic diseases during in vitro fertilization offers couples the best chance for a healthy child, but a genetic glitch could potentially cause doctors to misdiagnose a small fraction of them, University of Florida scientists say. Citing concerns about the accuracy of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, the method a number of practitioners use to pick the healthiest embryos during IVF, UF scientists set out to study the procedure. Their work, described during a recent meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, reveals the technique is actually highly reliable. But because there is a slim chance a genetic abnormality can cause doctors to misdiagnose embryos, some concerns still need to be addressed, the scientists said.......
RE: Who is Jesus Christ? A God or a Man?Where is He today?
Marie Glck: Dear Nana, Thanks for answering. I find this a very good argument on your part. " he did not inherit any genetic material from his mother Mary, or if he did, she too must have been perfect, if human. " Yes, indeed Jesus did not inherit any imperfection from his mother Mary. It was possible for the ...
GA Playground - Genetic Algorithm Toolkit in Java
The GA Playground is a general purpose GA toolkit implemented in Java, designed for experimenting with genetic algorithms and handling optimization problems. New problem definition requires only coding of a fitness function and supplying parameters by an Ascii file (similar to Windows ini file). However, the structure of the program is very modular and supports overwriting of any GA operator or function, if required.

An Interview - on history and educational media
AN INTERVIEW:
1. Can you briefly summarize why you think history is a weapon of war against people?
Briefly?, not really, except to say Sun Tzu wasn’t the first to notice that propaganda was the first and most important part of conquest. Caesars won more through secret deals and blackmailing the likes of Herod and the Sanhedrin than they ever did through force of arms. We saw how guerillas work against a conqueror in Vietnam and even in Iraq at the present. I have written about fifty books. The framework for a new history that is based on forensics and science or artifacts rather tha ...

Documenting the Undocumented with RFID Chips or Cards
Here is an idea which came out of one of our recent thinking groups meetings regarding border security, which seems to be appropriate. First we seal off the borders and only allow crossing thru certain border check points. Robots patrol, if they see you they warn you to stop and go back in Spanish, then warn one more time. Then shoot non-lethal shot. If the perpetrator continues to the next zone, they are warned to go back twice and then if they continue they are shot dead. Running persons in reverse direction and back the country can continue without hassle as long as they keep moving out ...

5 Fitness Myths That Are Responsible For Thousands of Fitness Failures
Unfortunately, many people are misinformed and are also misled by the many promises of the weight loss industry.
