Rachel Carson is good and EVIL

Rachel Carson's motives were good, however they way that she pushed the fact that DDT is such an evil product it made it impossible for people in Africa to have access to it.  She sounded a false alarm because DDT is dangerous however used correctly is would be a great pesticide.  So she is good in the fact that she made everyone aware that it is fine to eat, however by making it sound poisonous she has made it unavailable for people in other countries. 

Statistics Yo on underage drinkin

Alcohol use is a continuing problem on most college campuses, where nearly 73% of the students drink at least occasionally.  Also, one in four young adults, ages 18-34 binge drink and  33,379 male undergrads on 53 U.S. campuses in 2005, consumes 7.39 drinks – a bottle of beer, glass of wine, shot or mixed drink – per week, while the average female has 3.86.  This has its affects on academics as well, 31% of college students missed a class due to substance abuse, according to the Core statistics, and 22% tanked an exam or essay. And some 159,000 of the nation’s current freshmen will drop out of school because of alcohol or drug use.  Overall the message is know your limits.  

3 diets for 3 different blood types

The blood type diet was advocated by Peter D'Adamo a nautropathic physician, he used the research from prior scientists.  His approach boils down to the blood types being broken down like this.  

D'Adamo groups those thirteen races together by ABO blood group, each type within this group having unique dietary recommendations:

• Blood group O is believed by D'Adamo to be the hunter, the earliest human blood group. The diet recommends that this blood group eat a higher protein diet. D'Adamo bases this on the belief that O blood type was the first blood type, originating 30,000 years ago.
• Blood group A is called the cultivator by D'Adamo, who believes it to be a more recently evolved blood type, dating back from the dawn of agriculture, 20,000 years ago. The diet recommends that individuals of blood group A eat a diet emphasizing vegetables and free of red meat, a more vegetarian food intake.
• Blood group B is, according to D'Adamo, the nomad, associated with a strong immune system and a flexible digestive system. The blood type diet claims that people of blood type B are the only ones who can thrive on dairy products and estimates blood type B arrived 10,000 years ago.
• Blood group AB, according to D'Adamo, the enigma, the most recently evolved type, arriving less than 1,000 years ago. In terms of dietary needs, his blood type diet treats this group as an intermediate between blood types A and B.

What is Life?

Mitochondrial Eve

Mitochondrial Eve is the woman from which all humans are descended from.  The proof of this is in the mitochondrial DNA which is passed on from mothers.  Hopefully she was as attractive as this lady.
Native American- Traits that are common for Native Americans
Almond shaped almost oriental looking eyes. Lazy eyes in children. Heavy "fat" eyelids where the eyelid appears to have an extra fold. A melanin (pigmentation) in the back of the eye on the retina peculiar to Native Americans.
Teeth that have a ledge on the backside. Run your tongue across them, they feel almost like a shovel shape. Large front teeth with a slight or more than slight gap. Lack of the Carrabelli cusp on the maxillary first molars, which is missing in Native Americans.
Large heavy earlobes. Crooked fingers particularly the little finger or pinky. An inverted breastbone. Often called a Chicken Breast. The bone actually makes an indentation in the chest.
Little toes that lie under the next one. A second toe longer than the big toe. A wider space between the big toe and second one. An extra ridge of bone along the outside of the foot.

Extreme Enviorments!!!!

Acidophiles are Microbes, including certain types of bacteria and archaea, which thrive in acidic environments, such as sulfuric pools, where the pH values are in the range 1 to 5. Acidophiles are a type of extremophile. Because high intracellular acidity levels would destroy essential molecules, such as DNA, these organisms have evolved the ability to pump hydrogen ions out of their cells at a constantly high rate. The result is a mildly acidic internal pH of about 6.5 compared with a typical external pH of about 2. 

My plant

Day 1: Got my plant and named him Jesús.  I over watered him and poked holes in the bottom of the cup to drain him.
