Should scientists be allowed to play around with the human genome? Should we be screwing around with our own DNA? Is it right to experiment with stem cells? Should we allow robotic parts, computer human interfaces and artificial hearts, lungs and kidneys? What will the future bring and will it be an ethical future or will we cause irreversible evolution and forget what it is to be human?

Presently we see that the BioTech industry is attempting to use that which we already have to make us better. It is competing against the robotic field of medical implants. Which is better for humanity? Should we allow either, both or only one in our future, as many believe that the entire future of the species is at stake? That is to say what it is to be human in the first place you see?

Well in this argument we see real needs for instance as there are injured and maimed Soldiers coming back who are fighting the murderers and International Terrorists and they are happy to get artificial parts to enjoy their life without too much hardship. I myself have a steel rod in my Femur Bone from a motorcycle accident. Most would agree that there is nothing wrong with that right?

Yet where do we draw the line? Do we say no artificial brains, hearts or reproductive organs? Yet what about pieces of them to help the function when they are damaged or what if they are not damaged but one wants an enhancement? Think of implants people get to better their appearance are those really wrong if it helps someone feel better about themselves? Some say it is others argue it is choice. So when do you perceive that it will be wrong? Where would one draw that line? What is humanity anyway? There is no good definition. Will humans become our own Gods, re-designing ourselves? If not then should we continue? And if so, then when will we become God and once we do, will we still be human? Think on this.

Olives and olive oil have a long history. It has been suggested that olives and olive oil have been around as long a 6000 years. The Bible even references olive branches in the story of Noah’s Ark. It is unknown as to when people started to eat olives and their oil but its origins of use suggest that initially it was used in lamps as fuel as well as for cooking.

There are two main types of olive oils, extra virgin olive oil and olive oil. The term extra virgin denotes oil that contains less than 1% acidity and has no treatment using heat or chemicals. Extra virgin also signifies the oil is from the “first press” or “cold press”. The tastes can range from a domestic mild or slightly rustic flavor to a peppery classic from Tuscany.

Olive oil is often labeled as “pure olive oil”; this oil is refined with chemicals and steam. The oil is then blended with a higher quality oil to give an improved flavor and aroma. Often times this less expensive choice is used in recipes and for sautéing. If you desire a purer flavor stick with the extra virgin varieties.

Surprisingly enough olive oil lends itself well to chocolate. The high cocoa butter content in chocolate allows it to blend easily with oil and the olive oil flavor recedes nicely to the background. By using olive oil in place of dairy it becomes easy to create rich and creamy non-dairy chocolate deserts.

When purchasing olive oil bring home the bottle and replace the lid with a pouring-spout stopper designed for use with liquor bottles. This will allow for spill proof pouring and more control over the stream of oil.

The oil should always be stored in a cool dark location and used within a years’ time. This distinctive choice in oil can turn rancid if left on the shelf too long.

Are you a whiz at calculating financial information? Not the easy
personal stuff, like figuring out your monthly mortgage based on
a fixed interest rate for x number of years, or how much money
you have available each month after all your bills are paid. (You
can probably use your fingers to figure that one out!)

But the hard stuff, you know, the things you need to know when
you’re running a small business. Things like company and stock
valuation, loan consolidation, cost of capital or even the
average cost of capital, variable cash flow, operation value with
different rates, those types of things?

You’ve probably heard of these terms but if you’re like most
small business owners, you wouldn’t know how to calculate these
results if your business depended on it. Well, guess what? Your
business does depend on it!

Before your business idea even gets out of your head and onto
paper, you need to be prepared to figure these types of numbers
out. If you’re planning to do a business plan, which, by the way,
is a very good idea, you will need to include an entire section
of the business plan devoted entirely to finances. You need to
know the break-even point; the break-even point determined using
various scenarios, start-up valuation, ROI-ROE, the capacity for
growth and more.

And if you ever need to take out a loan for your business, you’ll
hear terms like payment schedule, even capital amortization,
discount notes, rate and payment objectives, refinancing and
prepayments. Is your head swimming yet?

You’ve also probably got an investment or two that you’re trying
to keep better track of. Stocks, bonds, real estate - they’ve
each got their own language and their own ways of calculating
profit or loss. Do you know how much volatility is involved and
the amount of yield of your portfolio? Perhaps at this point you
don’t even really care!

Then when you go home after a hard day’s work, you spouse might
even want to talk about if and when you’ll be able to buy a new
car, or save for the children’s college, or plan for retirement.

Sure, you can hire financial analysts to figure out all these
numbers for you and handle this type of work as it occurs, but it
probably won’t be cheap. And if you’ve got your business on a
budget, hiring someone who specializes in numbers certainly will
be out of the question.

You can begin surfing the Internet where you’ll probably find
instructions for properly calculating each of these and other
types of figures. You can keep your fingers crossed and hope that
you followed the instructions precisely and that the numbers you
come up with are the numbers you and others want to see and can
rely on.

Or, if you already own a copy of Microsoft Excel, you can
purchase a powerful add-on product called Financial Advisor for
Excel. This product contains formulas for calculating 73
different types of financial calculations; the types you’ll need
to run your small business and your growing family.

Financial Advisor for Microsoft Excel is really easy to use, too.
For most of the calculations, all you need to do is plug in the
numbers. The software then handles all of the calculations and
presents them neatly in graphs and tables. And it does all this
far more quickly than any professional you will hire and who you
will pay by the hour.

Financial Advisor for Microsoft Excel truly does make good
financial sense. So do yourself a favor and get yourself a copy
today.

Death is your destiny and Birth was your history: You are
gifted with two things in life, your birth and death. You should
embraced both as the gifts that they are. Without them you
wouldn’t be here now. Every experience in-between them is your
unique perception of life.

I can not remember what I was doing, or where I was before
birth. I guess I didn’t exist. Many people believe this will non
existence will be your fate after death. The equation that
causes a problem with this belief is that you have most
certainly lived, and another question must be asked. Do these
memories of experiences die with you, or do they live on?
Science has proven that the atoms that make up your whole body
will live on. They will form new matter in the universe and will
transform themselves into anything from a coffee cup to a worm
that survives off your decomposing body.

In fact, if sciences theories are correct, which they most
certainly are no where near being correct. Almost everything
that makes up you and your body was made during the big bang.
Almost every part of you has existed for trillions of years. You
may be a 22 years old in human form, but everything that makes
up your human form has been around since a lot longer..

Nobody knows what happens after you die. There are many cases of
near death experiences, and they are the best evidence a third
party experience can give us. Without our own personal
experience with a near death experience, we are simply analyzing
what other people tell us about their own near death experience.
Go to
http://www.near-death.com/experiences/experts13.html to find
out what people with near death experience say about their
experience.

There is a problem with believing these near death experiences
are accurate descriptions of death.

1) Was the person dead long enough to actually pass on to
another existence? 2) Was the person brain dead? 3) There are
plenty of cases of people who have near death experiences who
remember nothing.

If a person is brought back to life after having a near death
experience, the person has not experienced death to its fullest.
The person did not die, they only came close and can not give an
accurate description of death at its fullest.

Did the brain die? Once believe the brain is the key to weather
someone is in fact dead or not. When a large portion of critical
brains cells start dying, it becomes harder to save a persons
life. Many believe that people who have these near death
experiences simply haven’t suffered major brain death to report
on the experience of death at its fullest.

There are plenty of cases of people who come close to death and
remember nothing about it. Maybe these people did not die to the
point of other near death experiences and didn’t have the
experience because they were brought back to life before it
happened.

People believe what happens after death what they were taught,
what their best intuition is, or what they have learned. Most
people have no direct personal experience with death, or do they?

Your atoms come into play again. Just because you can not see
them with your macro eyes doesn’t mean they do not exist. You
have billions of atoms just on the tip of your finger. The
numbers are staggering, however the number of trillions of atoms
that make up your body are real objects we can look at and
measure with scientific equipment.

These atoms make up almost every part of the physical you, but
they use to make up a whole lot of other stuff as well. Most of
them have been here since the beginning of the universe. They
have taken on many forms throughout history, and they were once
probably a part of another human being.

So if atoms and everything inside atoms were once a part of
another human being. Obviously in a physical perception life
lives on through reincarnation to some degree. What about your
memories and life experiences? Are these a part of those atoms,
or do they die when the brain dies?

Well I guess it’s all about how you look at it. Your perception
right now is everything. Image yourself without any memories or
life experiences. You would be truly lost and without identity.
If you are unable to remember these past memories of
experiences, then are these memories now dead? Are you dead?

I believe yes and no. I believe we are powerful enough to
communicate with powerful forces of nature and ask these
questions. You’re not going to get any accurate answers from
anyone else. Your best bet is to practice meditation.

Learn to ask these questions during meditation or prayer, and
most importantly, learn to hear and interpret the answers. The
answers will come, maybe not in the traditional sense you’re
accustom to, but they will come.

Good luck after your death, I hope you find everything you were
expecting to find.

A healthy diet and exercise… diet and exercise… diet and exercise! This is the mantra that most healthy people practice and preach daily. As such, it is no wonder that health clubs are very popular. But wait… before you dive in and get a membership subscription from the smooth-talking health club “consultant”, take a moment to understand exactly how they were able to convince you.

Many health clubs are employing rather dubious techniques to lure unsuspecting customers into their fold. Do all these marketing tricks really make you save money - or does the opposite happen? Below are some of the classic techniques used by gyms and health clubs to downright fool customers into spending more than they were led to believe.

See Behind those Health Club Marketing Tricks

Get a Free Year - Ever hear those health club gimmicks that allegedly give you 1-year of free membership when you pay for an entire year in advance? You are probably just really paying for two years worth of subscription. Ask around and see other health clubs and you’ll see that you’re not really getting much of a bargain. Don’t forget that gyms and health clubs are high-maintenance businesses. They need a lot of income to ensure optimal service for their clients so throwing in a full year of free health club access may indeed be too good to be true.

Low Monthly Rates - Is there really no catch to those extremely low monthly subscription rates? Well, no - most of the time there is a catch. And this usually comes in the form of very long contracts. These, of course, are not good. What if their service deteriorates a few months since you’ve started? This effectively puts you in a trap where you would have to pay for the entire duration of the contract regardless if you wish to leave later on.

Win a Free Membership Raffle - Fill a form for a chance to win a free membership to the health club. Few people have ever heard of anybody winning these dubious raffles but plenty have heard from unrepentant sales people over the phone trying to convince you to sign up in their health club! This is of course, thanks to the telephone number you conveniently provided to them by filling out the so-called raffle stub.

Free Training Sessions - Spending time with their exercise or fitness trainers won’t provide you with much information, but you’ll get plenty of sales talk. If they offer free training sessions, prepare yourself for a lot of hard selling and incessant talk about getting a membership. Let’s face it, after being entertained for so long, you’ll probably feel guilty not to sign up! You would do better by inspecting the premises instead.

Exaggerated Advertising - Ever see such low rates being advertised by certain health clubs? How about those money back guarantees? Or how about those state of the art gym equipment that promise to make your workouts painless? You would be surprised how far some health clubs go just to make a sale. Yes, many would stoop to lying just to make you get a membership. Always try to validate all their claims. Check the facility. Ask for specifics about the service agreement. Read the entire contract. If there is even a hint that they are lying about any of their services, then exercise (pun intended) your right to refuse their offerings.

I can never watch any version of a Christmas Carol any more
because I keep getting bugged by one nagging question: If that
damn Bob Cratchit thinks he has it so bad with Scrooge, why the
hell doesn’t he get out there and get himself another job?

You hear so much in the story about how miserly Scrooge is with
his, but you know what? I’ll bet Scrooge must have been paying a
competitive wage for his clark. If Cratchit thought he should be
getting more for his work, then he should have found the
employer who would have paid him more and treated him better.

But he didn’t. And do you know why? It’s because he was a
slacker. Maybe Scrooge was paying less for his clarks then
anyone around him - that’s possible - but that was because no
one would pay even as much as he did. Cratchit was plain lucky
to have Scrooge pay him what he did and keep him on for as long
as he did at any salary at all.

Should we feel sorry for Bob Cratchit because he had a large
family to support? Well, who told him to have all of those kids
in the first place? I’d bet you if he and his wife had
paracticed some sound family planning and had perhaps only half
as many children, then the money would have stretched a lot
further. Anyways, he was able to put a roof over his families
head and food in their mouths. They weren’t in the poor house or
anything close to it.

But that was the thing: The guy was just a complainer. Look at
it from the Boss’s perspective. Would you want someone under you
who was always complaining about everything? Like, the office
was just too cold for Cratchit, so, of course, he has to waste
precious coal so that he can be toasty warm. What about the
company? Scrooge and Marley is paying good money for that heat,
bucko. Wrap your muffler and take one for the company. Be a team
player for a change.

Or how about all that extra time off that Scrooge’s clark kept
asking for? Back in Victorian times, Christmas was a minor
holiday at best. Nobody was really asking for Christmas off.
Most Victorians worked on Christmas so that they could have an
extra day away from their family. It would be like me asking for
Captain Kirk’s birthday off. What sane boss would grant that
request? It was the same with Christmas back then.

I get so angry at the end of a Christmas Carol. Everybody thinks
it’s so wonderful that Scrooge turns his mean, bitter life
around but all I can see is him giving this lazy Bob Cratchit a
big Christmas goose and a pay raise when he really should be
giving him a pink slip and a boot out the door.

When you’re getting started on your CCNA studies, learning the different router modes is key to passing your Intro and ICND exams. But keeping those modes straight can be very difficult. (At least it was for me!) Let’s take a look at the various router modes you’ll need to know about to pass your CCNA, and use IOS Help to illustrate the different uses of each mode.

The first mode you’ll see on a router (if the person before you logged off as they should have) is user exec mode. This is also the default mode a user is placed into when using Telnet to connect to a router. The prompt will look like this:

R1>

You can’t write or add to a configuration in this mode, but you can run quite a few show commands. This is a good mode to have users in who need to see the configuration, but shouldn’t be allowed to change it.

To get to the next level, type enable at the user exec prompt:

R1>enable

R1#

Notice that the prompt changed. This mode has two names, the official one being privileged exec mode. It’s more commonly referred to as enable mode, since “enable” is what you type to get into this mode.

This mode gives you more options for show and other commands, but you still can’t configure anything. To configure global commands, use “configure terminal”, or “conf t”, to enter global configuration mode.

R1#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

R1(config)#

The prompt has changed again, and now global configuration commands such as hostname and no ip domain-lookup can be entered.

From here, you’ve got a lot of options, but we’ll look at three you need to know for your CCNA exams. To apply configuration commands to an interface, enter interface configuration mode, as shown here:

R1(config)#interface serial0

R1(config-if)#

You must be in global config mode to get into interface config mode you cannot go from enable mode straight to interface configuration mode.

R1#interface serial0

^
% Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker.

Interface configuration mode allows you to apply an IP address to the interface, as well as many other commands related to frame relay, ISDN, and dynamic routing protocols.

For the CCNA, you need to know about two other configuration modes. To configure console commands (such as password protection), enter line configuration mode as shown here:

R1#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

R1(config)#line console 0

R1(config-line)#password cisco

R1(config-line)#login

The prompt “(config-line)” indicates that you’re in line configuration mode. Your console line is not the only line you’ll be configuring for the CCNA, though your vty lines are used for incoming telnet connections and must be configured in a similar fashion.

R1#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

R1(config)#line console 0

R1(config-line)#password cisco

R1(config-line)#login

R1(config-line)#line vty 0 4

R1(config-line)#password cisco

R1(config-line)#login

Notice that you do not have to exit one interface mode to go to another one. Let’s say that you’ve configured your vty lines and now want to put an IP address on your Ethernet interface. You don’t have to go out with ctrl-z and then start again you can go straight to interface config mode from line config mode. Just make sure you see the prompt change!

R1(config-line)#line vty 0 4

R1(config-line)#password cisco

R1(config-line)#login

R1(config-line)#interface ethernet0

R1(config-if)#ip address 15.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

When you’re preparing for CCNA exam success, there’s a lot to absorb. Just take it one piece at a time, get some hands-on experience to go with your theory, and before you know it you’re moving around in the different Cisco router configuration modes without giving it a second thought. Keep studying and your CCNA exam success is assured!

Using too many colors or the wrong combination of colors on your
website could alienate or turn off customers completely. Out of
any form of non-verbal communication, color is the quickest way
to communicate a message and meaning. And, marketers spend
oodles of time and money determining the colors to best market
their product: the colors that will prove the highest amount of
return on investment.

Choose Colors with Care

The right colors can mean bigger profits for your website. You
may even want to hire a professional web designer to help you.
Make sure the web designer you hire is not just a programmer,
but also a graphic designer and/or marketer. After all, the
reason why 99% of all websites fail is because it was created by
a technician, rather than a marketing expert.

So, What Colors are Best for Your Website?

That is hard to say. Again, you may want to hire a professional
to help you. However, the following tips will help you
understand the underlying meaning behind color so you may be
guided to make the right choice. Keep in mind that depending on
its value or intensity, one color can give very different
emotions.

Red - Stimulating. Exciting. Energizing. Appetizing. When you
eye sees red, chemical responses in your body cause your blood
pressure, pulse rate, and adrenaline to increase. Fire engine
red is more energetic than a more traditional burgundy.

Pink - Happy. Romantic. Spirited. Youthful. Best used for less
expensive and trendy products. Vibrant pinks are common in the
cosmetic industry. Bubble gum pink can be considered immature,
but fuchsia or magenta are considered more sophisticated.

Orange - Friendly. Adventurous. Energizing. Inviting. Of all the
colors, orange is the hottest. Similar to red’s arousing effect,
orange is often associated with bright sunsets or fall foliage.
Orange contains the drama of red with the cheeriness of yellow.
Neon orange tends to be load and is the most disliked color, but
a more tempered vivid orange is highly effective for
point-of-purchase graphics and specials.

Yellow - Warm. Sunny. Cheerful. Vibrant. Yellow is equivalent to
enlightenment and imagination. This color is especially
effective for food service industries because of the association
to bananas, custards and lemons. Pale yellow is an excellent
choice for point-of-purchase materials (materials at the cash
register or reception area) because the eye sees the highly
reflective yellow before it notices any other color.

Brown - Rich. Sheltering. Durable. Sensible. Brown is an earth
tone and is related to the earth’s nurturing qualities and
stability. Generally speaking, brown provokes a positive
response, but the wrong shade could lead to customers relating
it to dirty, which could be detrimental for a product in the
fashion industry, for example. Brown works well with food
products since customers also relate it to root beer, coffee and
chocolate.

Blue - Cool. Trusting. Serene. Consistent. Similar to the earthy
color brown, blue is related to the sky and water, both
dependable constants in our lives. Blue is an ideal color for
websites, especially e-commerce websites. Many banks and
financial institutions use blue in their marketing because it
makes customers feel more trusting. Blue also can generate a
cold, distant, corporate feeling, the opposite of generating a
personal relationship with the customer. Green - Refreshing.
Healing. Fresh. Soothing. Green offers the most variety of
choices out of all the colors of the rainbow. Green works well
for personal hygiene or beauty products because of its soothing
and flattering tones. Most people link green to nature; they
think of foliage or grass. Mint green is seen as fresh while
bright greens are associated with grass. Emerald greens are
elegant and deep greens are linked to money and prestige. Green
is also combined nicely with many other colors and can also work
as a neutral.

Purple - Elegant. Sensual. Regal. Mysterious. Purple is seen as
sensual and spiritual as it combines the sexuality of red and
the sereneness of blue. It is best used with creative products,
new products, or cutting edge products. Deep purple is
associated with regal sophistication and lavender has a more
subtle nostalgic appeal.

Neutrals - Classic. Quality. Natural. Timeless. The neutral
tones of beige, gray and taupe emulate the psychological message
of dependability and timelessness. They are regarded as safe and
non-offensive and will not go out-of-date as they are always in
style.

White - Pure. Bright. Pristine. Simple. While white can signify
clean elegance, it can also be considered generic and stark,
unless you have stylish graphics to compliment the white.

Black - Strong. Classic. Mysterious. Powerful. Black is most
closely associated with the night. Black is seen as powerful,
dramatic, elegant and expensive. In food packaging, a customer
will actually pay more for a gourmet image. Although black is
associated with mourning, its positive associations far outweigh
its negative. Warning: too much black can be overkill.

Mountain hiking demands great gear and more education than your typical trail hike. Why? Because as you ascend breathing becomes less efficient, passage grows rugged, and rescue becomes more challenging. So consider your mountain equipment to be your life support system.

Where in day hiking you may be able to get away with wearing light-weight boots or shoes, in remote mountain hiking it’s a good idea to wear heavier supportive boots to protect your ankles and feet. Walking with a sprained ankle on a day hike is inconvenient compared to trying to limp out of the back-country mountains with the same problem and a heavy pack. Thinking ahead and being prepared with the right mountain gear, guides, and information can literally mean the difference between a minor mishap and at times death. Take your safety seriously.

As elevation increases the atmospheric pressure decreases (amount of oxygen doesn’t actually drop until over 50,000 feet) which means there’s less pressure to ‘push’ the air into and fill your lungs. Because there is less air going into your lungs you’ll fatigue more quickly. How much does the pressure really change? According to an academiclibrary.com article (that can be applied to mountain hiking) the barometric pressure can drop by 40% between sea level (average 760 millimeters of mercury) and 12,000 feet (483 millimeters of mercury). Obviously having 40% less oxygen available to your body (because of the pressure drop) will impact you.

Now if you had a 40% decrease in your ability to deliver oxygen to your body during an average day wouldn’t you be concerned? Add in the fact you’re asking more of your body in terms of keeping you warm in a cooler/cold environment, you are constantly losing water from your system, your reactions are slowed, and your not around the corner from the nearest hospital. Your mountain hiking equipment becomes a more important consideration the higher the altitude and the more remote your location.

Depending on how cold the temperatures you might encounter are you’ll probably want some good insulated hiking boots (depending on the altitude and temperature you may need mountaineering boots), hiking clothes, sleeping bags, camping tents, and other equipment used for hiking rated for lower temperature than what you think you’ll actually experience. This will give you an extra margin of safety. Also keep in mind that mildly uncomfortable mountain hiking gear will become a bigger problem…
