You Are What You Eat - Genetically Modified Food
Whenever we sit down to eat, we assume that the foods we consume are good for us, like milk, vegetables, fruits, and grains. Well, think again. In the last decade the foods we know (corn, tomato, potato, soybean, strawberries) have drastically changed due to the introduction of genetically modified (another word is genetically engineered) organisms in 1994. Over 60% of the items on your local grocery store shelves these days are genetically modified, and these items are not labeled as such. On the surface, these genetically modified foods look and taste similar to what we ate before 1994, b ...

How To Overcome Stuck States In Personal Growth
Although many of us use self-help tools like affirmations, visualizations, NLP techniques, and spiritual invocations, we sometimes find that nothing happens. This, to say the least, is disheartening.
After many years as a psychotherapist, I found that the brain can be compared to a computer. Since the computer was founded to replicate some of the features of our brains, the analogy also works the other way.
In a computer, a corrupted file, a virus, or any other type of malignant software is sufficient to slow the computer down, create frequent crashes, and cause difficulties ...

snRNAs as the catalysts of pre-mRNA splicing.
Publication Date: 2005 Dec PMID: 16242989Authors: Valadkhan, S.Journal: Curr Opin Chem BiolThe spliceosome, the gigantic molecular machine that performs pre-mRNA splicing in eukaryotes, contains over 200 different proteins and five RNA molecules. The central role played by the spliceosomal RNAs in splicing has led to the hypothesis that, like the ribosome, the spliceosome is an RNA-centric enzyme and a relic from the RNA world. Recent structural studies have provided the first glimpses of the structural features of spliceosomal RNAs, and mutational analyses in vivo and in vitro have uncovered new functional roles for a catalytically essential domain. An emerging model for the active site of group II introns, a closely related class of natural ribozymes, is likely to provide a wealth of insights on structure and function of the active site of the spliceosome.

Building A Better Body, One Brick At A Time
Copyright 2005 Tom Venuto
The quest to develop a stunningly fit, lean and attractive body is a long, slow journey. It's not something you achieve overnight by popping a few pills or strapping an electric gizmo to your belly.
Which reminds me, did you know that by the time the FTC finally blew the whistle on the electronic ab belt scam, the makers of those "ab zappers" had swindled over $100 million dollars from unsuspecting consumers? Fortunately, some of those companies had to pay it back, and then some! The FTC charged three companies - Fast Abs, Ab Tronic and Ab Energizer - w ...
