Question: Please help me come up with a topic for my paper!!? Your challenge is to provide a detailed example of how an evolutionary principle has
been applied to improve or enable a product or a technological advancement. A quick perusal of
the web will reveal many assertions of evolution applications in general terms, but few, if any,
that provide more detailed information on how an application of an evolutionary principle
facilitated or enabled a specific product or technology. We are not saying anything like,
“without evolution none of these products would have been possible,” but rather that the
understanding and explicit consideration of evolutionary principles during foundational research
or development improved the efficiency of the process or improved the final products.
I have no idea what to write about. I was thinking about genetic engineering with corn or some other type of vegetable. Any ideas??? Question: Help with topic for my evolution paper? Your challenge is to provide a detailed example of how an evolutionary principle has

d. work process engineering Question: Should I major in mechanical or chemical engineering? I'm trying to decide my major and I have to do it within the next few days! At this point I've taken both intro to mechanical and chemical engineering classes, but I still don't know which one I like better. Sometimes I like mechanics better, sometimes I like chemistry better. However, if I chose chemical I'd be a little behind because I have to catch up on organic chemistry, whereas with mechanical I am right on track already. Since I've taken more mechanics-related courses, going into chemical engineering would be stepping out of my current "comfort zone" in terms of the subject matter (although in high school I used to think I liked chemistry better after taking one year of it, then I took so many physics-type courses that now I am more comfortable with physics).
Part of the reason I want to switch to chemical is that I think the field is a newer emerging field, with more opportunities for innovation, while I've heard some say that mechanical engineering has all been done--most of the jobs are repetitively tweaking little aspects of designs like turbine blades, etc. At the same time, there are still lots of different kinds of mechanical engineering jobs out there since it's so broad, so I'm sure it can't be all repetitive. I think the product design, robotics, aerospace, biomechanical (designing surgical tools, replacement joints), and "Disney-imagineering" aspects of it are very neat. I'm also interested in the environmental, medical, and material/substance development part of chemical engineering, not so much the process control part (which, if my understanding is correct, is controlling the flow of chemicals through pipes in the factory plant, etc.), even though I do enjoy the mathematical work associated with heat/mass transfer.
One of my dilemmas is that most of my current "support group" is in the mechanical engineering department--the professors I know, the people and students I am friends with, etc. I think it's really important to have people you can rely on when you need help, companionship, or people to work together. I'm afraid that if I go into chemical, I am going to really have a hard time because I don't have anyone to collaborate with or talk to. Although of course I know I'd eventually make friends, I think at least for this next semester it would be rather difficult and I'd be mostly on my own. I would really miss the people that I've become good friends with. Every time I think I've made up my mind to switch to chemical, then I see people from my mechanical classes and realize how much I would miss them all.
Also, I don't know how specialized chemical engineering is. Is it possible to work in a more mechanical-related industry with a degree in chemical engineering, or is it possible to work in a more chemical-related industry with a degree in mechanical engineering?
Still, it's really tempting because I feel like chemical engineering might be a subject I'd really enjoy, once I got caught up in the curricula, plus it has a lot of new opportunities and research. Sometimes I get tired of the same old forces and vectors and moments routine.
As a side note, I don't know if I'll continue to permanently work in an industry. Actually, I've always been interested in becoming either a teacher or a professor.
I have no clue what to decide! Any suggestions? Thanks for reading this long post! Question: What is mechanical engineering? More specifically, what are the steps of the engineering process?
As I understand it, when an inventor or company wants to create a product or has an idea, engineers speak of the "development cycle," which I assume to go something like: Inspiration, brainstorm, do some initial design work and research, build a prototype, testing, refinement, and finally wrapping it all up with manufacturing.
I have a few ideas for inventions of my own, but as I'm not an engineer, I'm not too sure about the process to go about making my ideas into reality.
Could any of you engineers out there give me a little bit of general advice? What steps do engineers usually go through, after having an idea for a device, to see it through and make it a reality? What are some good tools for device / machine design, testing, and simulation, and how does one take the final design and turn it into the actual product? Question: What is the fundamental process of engineering / machine / device design? I'm a student of physics, and lately I'm becoming more interested in putting that scientific knowledge to practical use - aka, engineering!

Question: Please corect any errors you will find in my cover letter. Thank you very much in advance? I graduated from * university in June 2007 with a honor degree in Engineering with specialization of Computer Systems & Software.
During my education at |* I attended to a special courses organized by * company where I learned web technology ,data structures and object oriented programming, project management and worked on a real projects. Last two years of my education I attended Electronic Design Automatization courses organized by * company.This two companies played very important role in my professional development.
Recently, I completed my army service at a * Institute after *| where I was given the responsibility to do research in computer aided aircraft design. Now I’m working there as a senior specialist in a research laboratory.
While my present job has helped me develop some professionality , the environment that I am currently in cannot support my desire for research.
I therefore believe that I must return to the academic world for further growth.
I think * University will be ideal place to continue my education because the abundance opportunities which it gives to all his students.
The university web site revealed a very strong faculties involved in extensive research in the areas of Computer Sciense and Aerospace Engineering.
I have spoken to my professors, seniors and colleagues about my choice of university and they all agreed with my decision.
Also I found very much information about the university in visitors guide.
I love sport activities especially rock climbing . And how I found the * offers not only this but also skiing, hiking and other recreational activities. All this will help me to stay in good shape and this of course will affect positively in my study process.
All this facts has strengthened my resolve to study at * University .
I think this is a place I have been looking for, a place where my background, experience, and skills can be put to use and make things happen.
With my academic background and relevant experience, I am confident that I am qualified and able to perform well in your university.
I want to thank you for consideration of my application. I look forward to your positive response. Question: Will my career meet a ceiling because I do not have a PhD? A few years ago I was pursuing my PhD degree in Engineering. Due to a sudden health issue, I had to shorten my graduate school experience to a M.S. I currently work in Biotechnology field and there are many PhDs around me (50-70%).
I am at a juncture that I can choose my future career to two different paths. One offer is is about technology transfer between manufacturing sites. Another offer is about process development and scientific research.
There are many challenges if I want to go back to get a PhD. I may eventually obtain a MBA instead. Given this circumstances, should I worry that my career path will be stalled somewhat in process development department, because I do not have a PhD? I understand that in life, degrees are not the only thing that matters. However, I do want to know if anyone feels that ceiling and tell me is it hard to break it.
thank you!
I am Question: How would you rate my resume? I'm applying for a part-time adjunct faculty position (part-time professor) in Information Technology.
The job posting says "bachelor's degree required, master's preferred."
I've worked at this school before as a Computer lab assistant.
How would you rate my resume? What changes would you make to it?

— Roger Pielke Sr.
There has been a development over the last 10-15 years or so in the scientific peer reviewed literature that is short circuiting the scientific method.
The scientific method involves developing a hypothesis and then seeking to refute it. If all attempts to discredit the hypothesis fails, we start to accept the proposed theory as being an accurate description of how the real world works.
A useful summary of the scientific method is given on the website sciencebuddies.org.where they list six steps
• Ask a Question
• Do Background Research
• Construct a Hypothesis
• Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
• Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
• Communicate Your Results
Unfortunately, in recent years papers have been published in the peer reviewed literature that fail to follow these proper steps of scientific investigation. These papers are short circuiting the scientific method.
Specifically, papers that present predictions of the climate decades into the future have proliferated. Just a two recent examples (and there are many others) are
Hu, A., G. A. Meehl, W. Han, and J. Yin (2009), Transient response of the MOC and climate to potential melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet in the 21st century, Geophys. Res. Lett., 36, L10707, doi:10.1029/2009GL037998.
Solomon, S. 2009: Irreversible climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Published online before print January 28, 2009, doi: 10.1073/pnas.0812721106
Such studies are even reported in the media before the peer reviewed process is completed; e.g. see in the article by Hannad Hoag in the May 27 2009 issue of Nature News Hot times ahead for the Wild West.
These studies are based on models, of which only a portion of which represent basic physics (e.g. the pressure gradient force, advection and the universal gravitational constant), with the remainder of the physics parameterized with tuned engineering code (e.g see).
When I served as Chief Editor of the Monthly Weather Reviews (1981-1985), The Co-Chief Editor of the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences (1996-2000), and as Editor-in-Chief of the US National Science Report to the IUGG for the American Geophysical Union (1993-1996), such papers would never have been accepted.
What the current publication process has evolved into, at the detriment of proper scientific investigation, are the publication of untested (and often untestable) hypotheses. The fourth step in the scientific method “Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment” is bypassed.
This is a main reason that the policy community is being significantly misinformed about the actual status of our understanding of the climate system and the role of humans within it

Question: Should an engineering student work before pursuing graduate studies? I will soon be matriculating as a Chemical Engineering major and foresee graduate school in my future. Is is better to hop right into graduate studies or take a few years to work and develop some job experience? I'm very interested in Research and Development and not so much into industrial process and design.
Question: Why are so many Christians against stem-cell research? Christians qualms about embryonic stem cells are obscene. Here are the facts: stem cells research is one of the most promising developments in the last century of medicine. It could offer therapeutic breakthroughs for every disease of injury process that human beings suffer for the simple reason that embryonic stem cells can become any tissue in the human body. This research may also be essential for our understanding of cancer along with a wide variety of developmental disorders. Given these facts, it is almost impossible to exaggerate the promise of stem cell
research. It is true, of course, that research of embryonic stem cell research entails the destruction of 3-day old human embryos. This is what worries Christians. Let us look at the details: a 3-day old human embryo is a collection of 150 cells called a blastocyst. There are, for the sake of comparison, more than 100,000 cells in the brain of a fly. The human embryos that are destroyed in stem-cell research do not have brains, or even neurons. Consequently, there is no reason to believe that they can suffer their destruction in any way at all. It is worth remembering, in this
context, that when a person's brain has died, we currently deem it acceptable to harvest his organs, provided he has donated them for this purpose. If it is acceptable to treat a person who's brain has died as something less than human being, it should be acceptable to treat a blastocyst as such. If you are concerned about suffering in this universe, killing a fly should present you with greater moral difficulties than killing a human blastocyst. Perhaps you think that the crucial difference between a fly and a human blastocyst is in the laters' potential to become a fully developed human being. But almost every cell in your body is a potential human being given our recent advances in genetic engineering. Every time you scratch your nose, you have committed a holocaust of potential human beings. This is a fact. The argument from a cells potential gets you absolutely nowhere.
Question: Could I disclose my confidential information to the company, which would like to give me a contract? A company would like to give me a contract. Before signing the contrat, I am asked to sign a confidential agreement to agree to disclose my commercially valuable information and trade secrets to the company, including database schema, computer source code, object code, functionality specifications, engineering details and reports, flow charts, logic diagrams, drawings, processes, models, formulae, data, know-how, research and development plans, the identities of employees, contracts and agreements with third parties, potential technology and marketing partners, partners, business plans, pricing information, marketing plans, financial data and technological information, and other valuable business information not generally known to the public. For sure the company will also disclose its confidential information to me. And we will agree to keep these confidential information not to be disclosed to any other third party.
Question: The Origin of Aids....Please someone tell me if it's true!? The Manmade Origin Of AIDS
By Paris and Dr. Kwame Nantambu
Yes, you read it correctly. AIDS is manmade. Here you will read, explicitly, that the US government funded the creation of this virus that would "lead to yet another method of massive killing of large populations" and "be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease." Yes, there is most definitely a war going on, and it is much scarier than you probably ever imagined. Read on:
The Development of the AIDS virus was funded in 1969 through funds obtained by the United States Defense Department via House Bill 15090. The Bill, which called for the US Defense Department to receive $10 million dollars to research, test and develop the virus, was reviewed in Hearings before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives during the ninety-first Congress in review of the Defense Appropriations for 1970. Copies of the full text of the Bill are not available in any public library and are impossible to locate online, although many other Bills are.
Part Five of H.R. 15090 was entitled RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION, sponsored by the Department of the Army, the Advanced Research Project Agency (now DARPA), and Defense Research and Engineering.
The Feasibility program and laboratories were to have been completed by 1974 - 1975 and the virus between 1974 - 1979. The World Health Organization (WHO) started to inject AIDS - laced smallpox vaccine (Vaccina) into Africans in 1977. Over 2000 young white male homosexuals were injected with laced Hepatitis B vaccine in 1978 through the Centers for Disease Control and the New York Blood Center. The development of the virus apparently had a dual purpose: (1) As a political/ethnic weapon to be used against black individuals and (2) one of the programmed efforts at de-population.
For the record it must be stated emphatically that the origin of AIDS has absolutely nothing to do with the green monkey, African people nor the Haitians.
The stark reality is that, according to The Strecker Memorandum (1983):
-AIDS is a man-made disease
-AIDS is not a homosexual disease
-AIDS is not a venereal disease
-AIDS can be carried by mosquitoes
-Condoms will reduce the chances of, but not prevent AIDS
-There are at least six different AIDS viruses in the world 1
AIDS represents the most potent medical weapon in the armory of Europeans to annihilate, decimate and castrate African, Hispanic and Asian peoples under the rubric of European supremacy.
Why and How was AIDS Created?
The AIDS virus was created 'as a political/ethnic weapon to be used mainly against Blacks.
2 "AIDS is biological warfare at its Euro-supremacist zenith," according to Malcolm Turner in his book AIDS is Biological Warfare: A Warning to African People. "AIDS is not an act of God against homosexuals; it did not appear out of thin air and it did not come from Africa. It was designed to kill people of color and a review of the statistics show that this is exactly what is happening...it is the creation of a sick, demented white racist power structure...
3 The creation and subsequent deployment of the AIDS virus by the World Health Organization was not just a diabolical scientific exercise that got out of hand. It was a cold-blood successful attempt to create a killer virus which was then used in a successful experiment in Africa.
4 The creation of AIDS "was not an accident?. It was deliberate.
5 AIDS is nothing less than genocide by white racists against the rest of humanity.
6 The Real Origin of AIDS
The AIDS virus was created by the United States government at Fort Dietrich in Maryland, a biological warfare laboratory in building number A550 in the P4 lab. The sum of US $10m was requested by the Defense Department to build the lab under the House of Representatives Bill number H.R. 15090 in the 91st Congress in 1970.
7 Dr. Theodore Strecker writes, "The US National Cancer institute, in collaboration with the World Health Organization, manufactured the AIDS virus in their laboratories at Fort Detrich, Maryland. They combined two deadly retroviruses, the Bovine Leukemia Virus and the Visna Virus, and injected them into human tissue cultures. The result was the AIDS virus, the first human retrovirus known to man and now believed to be 100 percent fatal to those infected.
8 Dr. Strecker further contends that AIDS couldn't have engineered itself, and reiterates that it was produced in a laboratory by virologists. "The World Health Organization (WHO) called for scientists to work with these deadly agents and attempt to make a hybrid virus that would be deadly to humans. An attempt was made to see if viruses could in fact exert selective effects on immune function. The possibility was looked into that the immune response to the virus itself would be impaired if the infecting virus damaged, more or less selectively, the cell responding to the virus?
9 The AIDS epidemic was triggered by the mass vaccination campaign which eradicated smallpox.
10 In fact, the WHO itself has studied "new scientific evidence suggesting that immunization with the smallpox vaccine Vaccinia, awakened the unsuspected, dormant human immuno defense virus infection (HIV).
11 Pearce Wright, an advisor to the WHO, writes, "I thought it was just a coincidence until we studied the latest findings about the reactions which can be caused by Vaccinia. Now I believe the smallpox vaccine theory is the explanation to the explosion of AIDS?.
12 The fact of the matter is that the WHO concluded that "in the relation to the immune response, a number of useful experimental approaches can be visualized?.
13 As a result, "they suggested that a way to do this would be to put their new killer virus (AIDS) into a vaccination program, sit back and observe the results.
14 The WHO used smallpox vaccine as their vicious vehicle to spread the AIDS virus and the geographic areas chosen were Uganda and other African countries, Haiti, Brazil and Japan. The present "AIDS epidemic coincides with these geographical areas.
15 As an addendum, "there is also substantial evidence" to show that a confidential source in the WHO has revealed that there is "a strong correlation between the proportion of people in different central African countries who consented to the smallpox vaccine program and the proportion of those now infected with AIDS.
16 The stark reality is that "the AIDS virus must be a man-made, bio-engineered virus.
17 Hence, it's no great surprise that the WHO, in true Euro-supremacist modus operandi, "started to inject AIDS-laced smallpox vaccine (Vaccina) into over 100 million Africans (as part of its global non-European population reduction program) in 1977.
18 Dr. Theodore A. Strecker further writes, "If the African green monkey could transmit AIDS to humans, the present known amount of infection in Africa makes it statistically impossible for a single episode, such as a monkey biting someone, to have brought this epidemic to this point. The doubling time of the number of people infected, about every 14 months, when correlated with the first known case, and the present known number of cases, prove beyond a doubt that a large number of people had to have been infected at the same time. Starting in 1972 with the first case from our mythical monkey and doubling the number infected from that single source every 14 months you get only a few thousand cases. From 1972 to 1987 is 15 years or 180 months. If it takes 14 months to double the number of cases, then there would have been 13 doublings, 1 then 2, then 4, then 8, etc. In 15 years, from a single source of infection there would be about 8,000 cases in Africa, not 75 million AIDS infected people. We are approaching World War II mortality statistics here without a shot being fired.
19 The fact of the matter is that under the current European global policy of annihilating people of color, "AIDS is expected to kill more people and orphan more children than all the wars of the 20th century combined.
20 The Global Impact of AIDS
The spread of the AIDS virus is omnipresent among African peoples and people of color. AIDS is without any doubt, the largest epidemic in human history. The global magnitude of the impact of AIDS is such that as of June 2001, "more than 70 percent of the people with the virus that causes AIDS are in sub-Saharan Africa, the poorest region in the world.
21 AIDS has transformed Africa into a "killing field.
22 In fifteen years, "AIDS has killed 11 million Africans, more than 80 percent of the world's AIDS deaths.
23 AIDS "has struck some 36 million people, 25.3 million of them in Africa, and orphaned 13 million children.
24 According to the United Nations in 1998, there are 5,500 AIDS-related funerals every day in Africa.
25 In Zimbabwe alone, 1,200 die each week from AIDS. As of February 2001, there are 5.8 million AIDS cases in South/Southeast Asia, 1.4 million in Latin America, and 640,000 in East Asia. In fact, in June 1991, it was reported that "by the end of this decade, Asia will be the epicenter of the worldwide AIDS epidemic, host to the fastest-growing AIDS population in the world.
26 As of February 2000, the Caribbean has as high as 700,000 people infected with AIDS, thus making the region "the second largest incidence in the world after Africa.
27 In the case of the United States, African-Americans account for about 11 percent of the national population but 57 percent of the AIDS cases. In 1999, African-Americans and Hispanics accounted for almost 70 percent of new HIV infections. However, strangely enough, death rates in Europe of people infected with the virus that causes AIDS have fallen 84 percent since 1985.
28 The reality is that two-thirds of the people in the world infected with AIDS today are in sub-Saharan Africa, but only about 2 percent are in Western Europe. That is no accident. It is genocide. The sole purpose of this heinous man-made virus is to reduce the global population of African peoples and people of color through AIDS decimation, annihilation and castration, by any and all means necessary. AIDS represents a medical intifadah declared against African people and people of color.
The Tuskegee Experiment
A relevant comparison analysis is the Tuskegee Experiment that was conducted by the U.S. government on innocent and unsuspecting African-American males from 1932-1972. In 1932, the United States Public Health Services solicited and recruited about 400 African-American males as guinea pigs in "one of the most notorious medical experiments ever" on the study of the effects of syphilis in Macon County, Alabama.
29 These subjects never gave informed consent for their participation in the study. "The Black men were never told they had syphilis nor were they told their disease could endanger their families.
30 In the fall of 1932, handbills were posted and circulated at several church gatherings in the poor county, where even the one black doctor served only those who could afford to pay. The ads promised "special treatment" for men with "bad blood," which, to local folks, could mean anything from VD to anemia to indigestion. Eager to take advantage of any kind of medical care that was free, men signed up in droves.
Sadly, even when a penicillin treatment cure for syphilis became available in the 1940s, the men in the Tuskegee syphilis experiment "were not allowed to receive the antibiotic.
31 By U.S. government decree "other doctors in Macon County were forbidden to treat any of the men in the study.
32 These Black men were sharecroppers with no formal education. "Many had never seen a doctor, much less been treated by one. Anything white people asked them to do, they did.
33 The U.S. has stated that "the purpose of the study was to record the destructive effects of untreated syphilis and to follow closely the medical progress of the group until each man died.
34 However, according to Martin P. Levine, the experiment was easily justified by physicians and scientists because "it was widely believed that Black racial inferiority made them a notoriously syphilis-soaked race.
35 These physicians and scientists were convinced that: "(The) smaller brains (of these Black men) lacked mechanisms for controlling sexual desire, causing them to be highly promiscuous. They matured early and consequently were more sexually active, and the Black man's enormous penis with its long foreskin was prone to venereal infections. These physiological differences meant that disease must affect the races differently.
36
Conclusion
In sum, the U.S. government-sponsored Tuskegee Experiment is germ-biological warfare committed on its own citizens for 40 years. It must be noted, however, that in 1974, a US Civil Rights attorney won a $10m settlement from the government for the Tuskegee victims and their heirs, and another $2.1m payment was received in 1976. On May 16, 1997, then-President Bill Clinton issued an official public apology on behalf of the U.S. government to the victims of the Tuskegee experiment.
37 So you see, the notion of waging biological warfare on so-called undesirable populations is not a foreign one to the US Government. This is it's legacy - the greatest homicidal and genocidal killing machine in the history of civilization.

note to all :- I HAVE NOT MADE UP MY MIND!
I just read this and was like wut the hell, where did this come from. I don't know what to think but honestly you really can't put nyfin past politics can you?
Lol to the American Haters comment. :')
Question: Where is the best place for a scientist to begin exploring the cancer research literature? Complex modern problems like understanding the development of cancer invariably require a multidisciplinary approach. Biologists and physicians will be instrumental to this process, but other sciences have already and will continue to play a role in the development of this field.
Fortunately, there are many physical scientists, engineers and other technology-savvy individuals who are interested in having a good foundational understanding of how cancers develop at a mechanistic level.
But many of us have no clue where to start. Are there any cancer researchers out there who have suggestions about where someone with a reasonably solid (say, bachelor of science level) background in physical and life sciences should begin a foray into the cancer research literature?
Question: Migrating to Australia? My wife and I are considering the possibility of migrating to Australia from the US. She has a MBA in Business Management and has worked with and for a major computer manufacture for 10+years. I worked in general aviation for 10 years in research and development and the most recent 10 years have been in supply chain management handling imports from overseas and inventory control for the same computer manufacture as my wife. I am also an audio engineer and working musician. We are just starting the process and it’s a bit overwhelming. I guess my question would be does our family fit the skills that are required to obtain a permanent work visa? Mostly looking for some moral support for our decision I suppose.
Question: Both Believers of God and Godless people require a HUGE leap in faith...? As a university educated engineer(a real one), I present the following for discusion(I also do medical research and product development).
It's 2007, and the best and brightest minds cannot to begin to ascertain how life less atoms/molecules/complex molecules assimilate into life. Now by "chance" this was suppose to happen by accident, then this "life", by accident then self-actualized, and knew it was...life. Now, after it knows it's "function", it will have to protect itself, it will have to self-metabolize, it will have to "feed" itself, it's semi-permiable membrane(by accident) also has to keep those nasty chemicals brewing in the very same ocean out, so it can survive, while allowing the "good stuff" in...by accident.
In 3-4 weeks, it will undergo a extremely complex process of, now get this...REPLICATION, and instructions have been laid out, by accident, ahead of time, exactly the sequences, RNA/DNA sequencing/ripping appart, and so forth. Great leap of faith? Or accident?
I real feel sorry for people who have a tainted view of God...
Man bastardizes God, not the other way around.
Sorry for presenting something that seems to have gone over the heads of most people.
Ambiogenis is a failed theory at best...
Because you might see little green men out the end of a telescope does not validate or invalidate the existance of God...The Big-Big can be another observable universe created for just that purpose.
I am WELL aware of the experiments done in the lab to create the amino acids, etc.
But, as stated, ask the BRIGHTEST scientists in 2007 how, and I repeat HOW they come together at the most fundamental level, it's like the deer caught in the head-lights...
Someone is a freshman in Bio 101, yet I posses several patents related to MY work...you are at the infancy of knowledge...the more you know...the more you realize how little you actually DO know...understand, freshman?
Oh, yee, of little faith Atheist "Jesus"...spell check applies to the title, and by "accident", I didn't copy and paste to the original question, please forgive me Atheist "Jesus", for I have sinned.
That "virus" one was a good one! Sure when you already HAVE a virus model to begin with(and manipulate it like a lab-rat(Oh, did one make the RAT too?)...and those "cures"...FORGET it...we can't even touch a common COLD virus, nevermind AIDS, more like snake-oil treatements...
NO BIOLOGIST or ANY scientist as of this date can explain the orgin of life. As stated, ambio-genisis is as DEAD as Freudian analysis...
Biologists have a very narrow bandwidth of how the universe REALLY works, and I run circles around them.
Because I spelled a failed paridigm, ambio-nonsensical incorrectly, some still fail to grasp or understand the crux of the original statement, or is spell-check ones only claim to fame? I can validate the existence of God better as an engineer who does scientific research, than a lay-person who has no concept of either science or God. It's probably the lack of accountability you seek in your "faith", which makes it so cozy, and convienient. Some need to follow mainstream "progressive" sheepherded mentality.

War in Iraq update
This war has been going on for a few years now. Many wonder, “When will it end?” For some new updates I went to Http://www.cnn.com and clicked on the war in Iraq.
Here is a story broadcasted on CNN:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The system for delivering badly needed gear to Marines in Iraq has failed to meet many urgent requests for equipment from troops in the field, according to an internal document obtained by The Associated Press.
Of more than 100 requests from deployed Marine units between February 2006 and February 2007, less than 10 percent have been fulfilled, the document says. It blamed the bureaucracy and a "risk-averse" approach by acquisition officials.
Among the items held up were a mine-resistant vehicle and a hand-held laser system.
"Process worship cripples operating forces," according to the document. "Civilian middle management lacks technical and operational currency."
The 32-page document -- labeled "For Official Use Only" -- was prepared by the staff of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force after they returned from Iraq in February.
The document was to be presented in March to senior officials in the Pentagon's defense research and engineering office. The presentation was canceled by Marine Corps leaders because its contents were deemed too contentious, according to a defense official familiar with the document. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss it publicly.
The document's claims run counter to the public description of a process intended to cut through the layers of red tape that frequently slow the military's procurement process.
The Marine Corps had no immediate comment on the document.
In a briefing Wednesday, Marine Corps officials hailed their "Urgent Universal Need Statement" system as a way to give Marines in combat a greater say in weapons-buying decisions.
"What we all liked about [the urgent requests] is they came from the operators out on the ground and there was always a perceived better way of doing things," said Maj. Gen. Dennis Hejlik, who was a commander in Iraq from June 2004 to February 2005.
The document lists 24 examples of equipment urgently needed by Marines in Iraq's Anbar province. One, the mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle, has received attention as a promising way to protect troops from roadside blasts, the leading killer of U.S. forces in Iraq.
After receiving a February 2005 urgent request approved by Hejlik for nearly 1,200 of the vehicles, the Marine Corps instead purchased improved versions of the ubiquitous Humvee.
The industrial capacity did not exist to quickly build the new mine-resistant vehicles and the more heavily armored Humvees were viewed as a suitable solution, Marine Corps officials said.
That proved not to be the case, as insurgent elements in Iraq developed more powerful bombs that could penetrate the Humvees. The mine-resistant vehicles are now a top priority for all the military branches, which plan to buy 7,774 of the carriers at a cost of $8.4 billion.
Brig. Gen. Robert Milstead, chief of Marine Corps public affairs, said cost was not a factor in choosing the Humvee.
"This was not a budgetary decision," Milstead said Wednesday. "You can take that to the bank."
'Delays cause ... deaths and injuries'
The internal document, however, states that the cost of building new vehicles was a primary reason the request was denied by the Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico, Virginia.
Needs of the deployed troops are "competed against funded programs," the document states.
"Resistance costs time," it adds. "Unnecessary delays cause U.S. friendly and innocent Iraqi deaths and injuries."
A second example cited is the compact high power laser dazzler, an inexpensive, nonlethal tool for steering unwelcome vehicles away from U.S. checkpoints in Iraq. The dazzler emits a powerful stream of green light that stops or redirects oncoming traffic by temporarily impairing the driver's vision.
Safety procedures block laser purchase
In June 2005, Marines stationed in western Iraq filed an urgent request for several hundred of the dazzlers, which are built by LE Systems, a small company in Hartford, Connecticut. The request was repeated nearly a year later.
"Timely purchase and employment of all systems bureaucratically stymied," the document states.
Separate documents indicate the deployed Marines became so frustrated at the delays they bypassed normal acquisition procedures and used money from their own budget to buy 28 of the dazzlers directly from LE Systems.
But because the lasers had not passed a safety review process, stateside authorities barred the Marines from using them.
In January, nearly 18 months after the first request, the Marines received a less powerful laser built by a different company.
Titus Casazza, president of LE Systems, criticized the Marine Corps' acquisition process.
'Bureaucrats and lab rats'
"The bureaucrats and lab rats sitting behind a desk stateside are making decisions on what will be given to our soldiers even if contrary to the specific requests of these soldiers and their commanding generals," he said.
There are successful examples listed in the briefing document. A December request for an airborne surveillance system -- Angel Fire -- is expected to be filled this summer. The system provides constant overhead surveillance of large urban areas, such as Ramadi or Falluja, and is able to track the movement of people and vehicles.
Len Blasiol, a civilian official with the Combat Development Command, said the speed with which requests can be met is largely dependent on how much research and development work needs to be done.
"The first question is, 'Is this something we can go out right now today and buy? Is it sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting for us to buy?' And if it is, then we figure out how to buy it," Blasiol said.
As you can see… there is much going on in the war. When will this stop? I don’t know for sure, one thing I do know is that we are just entering our fifth year of combat.
Question: Why are we pushing gas-electric hybrids when diesel vehicles are already better for the environment? Companies such as BMW and VW produce diesel vehicles receive 36mpg (with 425ft pounds of torque) and 55mpg (with $250 worth of mods) respectively. While diesel engines are still a little more pricey, they last longer, producing less waste. We've had engines that last over 500,000 miles for a few decades and the public is still floored that Toyota often gets over 300,000 miles on a single engine. Also, diesel is not refined as thoroughly as gasoline, making the process to produce (and also to burn) easier on the environment.. Luxury automakers such as Lexus have been piggybacking electric motors on top of engines (instead of vice verse) and engineers from Ferrari are starting to follow suit. In my opinion, extracting 450+ horses out of 30mpg (15:1 power to mileage efficiency) sounds like a larger achievement than a whopping 130 horses from 55 mpg (2.4:1 efficiency) in many hybrids. Why not cut the power by 65% and back it up with some low-end torque from a motor? Performance, value and mileage rolled into one vehicle.. So why is it that we are investing most of our research and development into a weak vehicle who's lithium ion battery is heavy, unsafe in crashes and the resources to produce this quintessential building block is running out quickly?
Question: What ever happened to environmental modification { EnMod } ? After 3 weeks of research into Environmental modification or EnMod I found many things suprising and thought I would share and see what is you take on this - Environmental modification or EnMod was researched in the beginning of the 1970s and portions of the U.S. government and/or military viewed weather and climate modification research as having transitioned from the "basic research" stage to the "operational" stage. Experiments were occurring - or had occurred - in 22 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Iran, Israel, Kenya, Italy, France, South Africa, Congo and the U.S.S.R. Airborne seeding programs were undertaken to combat drought in the Philippines, Okinawa, Africa and Texas. Fog clearing had become a standard operation at airports, as had hailstorm abatement, which had been proven successful in several parts of the world. Forest fire control had been carried out in Alaska and watershed seeding was widely practiced, while lake storm snow redistribution was under extensive investigation. By 1973 there were over 700 degreed scientists and engineers in the U.S. whose major occupation was environmental modification (EnMod).
And then it all changed. In 1978 The United States became a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (EnMod Convention or ENMOD for short). The EnMod Convention prohibits the use of techniques that would have widespread, long-lasting or severe effects through deliberate manipulation of natural processes and cause such phenomena as earthquakes, tidal waves and changes in climate and weather patterns.
Independent journalist Keith Harmon Snow wrote a massive report entitled: "Out of the Blue: Black Programs, Space Drones & The Unveiling of U.S. Military Offensives in Weather as a Weapon." In it he tells us: "In 1976, U.S. government officials outlined 50 experimental projects and 20 actual pilot programs costing upwards of $100 million over the next eight years. It was an explosive subject, up [through] the 1970s but, after 1977, EnMod interest seemed to disappear almost overnight. In other words, after decades of intense research and development, after billions of dollars of investment, after major institutions and governmental bodies were created and charged with oversight of EnMod and its many peripheral issues, and after the entire reorganization of the U.S. Government to channel and guide and map out the future of this new and promising military and civilian 'technology' - said to be more important than the atom bomb - everything stopped.
Or did it?
It was as if a huge curtain fell over the subject as all research, all institutional interests, huge salaries and thousands of jobs - vanished. And the mass media stopped reporting anything and everything as if struck by plague. That - sudden and total silence - is perhaps the most telling and suspicious indication of the secrecy and denial that the EnMod arena was shackled with. Today it is almost as if it never happened."
Could it be that the US government said, "Oh gee, we can't do that any more" and just gave up on military EnMod - or did the whole program go "black"?
Question: Any advice what references to use for studying Aeronautical Engineering and related subjects? Hi! I will be soon take a licensure examination for Aeronautical Engineering. I would like to ask for any advice on how can I prepare for such examination. I am really looking deep in the internet for references I can use. And by the way, our professors advised use to look for test guides and other types of reviewers (with question and multiple choice answered portions). I am also looking more information on the following which is included in the coverage of our review:
1. Non-Destructive Testing (for aircraft and its components)
2. Air Transport Economics
3. Research and Development (in relation to the field of aeronautical engineering)
4. Aviation Industrial Organizations (background, operation, etc.)
focusing on MRO / Repair Stations (maintenance), Airlines, and others
5. Aircraft Manufacturing (background, processes involved, etc.)
6. Aircraft Maintenance topics
And lastly, can anyone share links on available TEST GUIDES focusing on aerodynamics, aircraft maintenance topics, etc.? Thanks!
Question: Why is Human Cloning Illegal ? ? Why are Goverments Banning Human Cloning ?? WHY ??
What's so wrong about it? They allowed the cloning of animals & plants. Why not Humans too??
I mean we have the technology to clone humans. Why Banned it ??
Most Nations from all over the world will Ban Human Cloning. But Why ?? What's their Main Reason for Banning Human Cloning ??
Oh, they can't ban Weapons of Mass Destruction from advancing.
But they can Ban the technology of creating life from advancing ???!!
Seems pretty Stupid to me doesn't it?
Ban technology that creates Life, But Don't Ban Technology that creates Death & Destruction ??
I mean:
Human cloning could produce many benefits. Human therapeutic cloning could provide genetically identical cells for regenerative medicine, and tissues and organs for transplantation. Such cells, tissues, and organs would neither trigger an immune response nor require the use of immunosuppressive drugs. Both basic research and therapeutic development for serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, as well as improvements in burn treatment and reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, are areas that might benefit from such new technology.
Human reproductive cloning also would produce benefits. Antinori and Zavos hope to create a fertility treatment that allows parents who are both infertile to have children with at least some of their DNA in their offspring.
Some scientists, including Dr. Richard Seed, suggest that human cloning might obviate the human aging process. How this might work is not entirely clear since the brain or identity would have to be transferred to a cloned body. Dr. Preston Estep has suggested the terms "replacement cloning" to describe the generation of a clone of a previously living person, and "persistence cloning" to describe the production of a cloned body for the purpose of obviating aging, although he maintains that such procedures currently should be considered science fiction.
In Aubrey de Gray's proposed SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) one of the considered options to repair the cell depletion related to cellular senescence is to grow replacement tissues from stem cells harvested from a cloned embryo.
I know Human Cloning is still in the developmental stages, but the Government is getting in the way for the cloning technology to advance.
But WHY ??? WHY ??
& Give me a good reason of Why to stop cloning technology from advancing.
Why is it Illegal ??
You don't believe me the government's getting in the way?
Rad this:
In January, 2008, Wood and Andrew French, Stemagen's chief scientific officer in California, announced that they successfully created the first 5 mature human embryos using DNA from adult skin cells, aiming to provide a less-controversial source of viable embryonic stem cells. Dr. Samuel Wood and a colleague donated skin cells, and DNA from those cells was transferred to human eggs. It is not clear if the embryos produced would have been capable of further development, but Dr. Wood stated that if that were possible, using the technology for reproductive cloning would be both unethical and illegal. The 5 cloned embryos, created in Stemagen Corporation lab, in La Jolla, were later destroyed.
Hey User: sgoldperson.
I know Cloning Humans is not possible Today, but Why Ban the technology from advancing?
I mean they allowed the cloning of Plants & Animals.
Why not Humans too ?
& if Human Cloning is immoral.
Why isn't War that Kills Millions of people Immoral too?
Why isn't the creation of Weapons of mass destruction also immoral too?
Question: please please can you check if I have any mistake.? At present my plan after grade 12 is to continue study for the PHD degree of Computer Hardware Engineer, because I really enjoyed making games, application and work with mathematical problems. I think Computer technology evolved dramatically over the years, thus significantly changing the component of employment in our society. Technology transformed the nature of work, enhancing social functions previously difficult or impossible to execute. Computers allow substantial increase in productivity, especially in researching and searching for existing information. In addition, this has permitted freer access to career opportunities that is appropriate for their lifestyle. Computers revolutionized the job-search process, alleviating the once arduous and painstaking task of finding a career. Another aspect of careers that has been influenced by computers is the development of career. The revolution of computer has impacted the career mechanism, forever changing the way people approach their career, including how a career is located and developed. Finally, I can achieve my dream of helping people around the world and make things easier to use for people.
please i have any mistake tell me or if you think to word it in other words please do so.
Question: The atheist pretend game? In 2009, in Arlington, Virginia, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Maryland is researching miniature acoustic sensors and sound localization techniques using the hearing mechanisms of flies as a model. Such research could benefit the Air Force by leading to the development of an artificial fly unmanned aerial vehicle with combined hearing and vision for navigation to inaccessible locations. A news release said, "Dr. Miao Yu, team lead for the project funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, said her team has found that the fly ear represents a NATURE DESIGNED optimal structure for obtaining the best acoustic directional cues . . . ."
There is an alternative to the Air Force actually remaking the Fly Ear. Let’s play pretend for a moment. Imagine if they had the time to wait for evolution make one for them. I know that we are speaking a huge amount of time, but let’s pretend anyway. After all, this is how evolution did it in the beginning.
Evolution made everything over millions or even billions of years, for no reason. But the Air Force Fly Ear has something more going for it than the process of evolution had in the beginning. The Air Force want it to happen, so that may help.
Imagine being a fly on the wall and watching when the process starts. I wonder how long it will take for something to begin, from nothing.

Question: Can u edit my Staement of Purpose:? STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Purpose of Study & Professional Plans
The boundless possibility of trying out and the instant knowledge of the outcome that stimulates one for further analysis of a rationale in question, is what I find most appealing about Computer Science. Keeping up an inquisitive and explorative attitude, I believe, leads to a constant learning process. This approach adds to the already immense potential for innovation that exists in this field.
As I have been brought up in a family which has strong inclinations towards development, My father is a K.S officer, whose works for the development of rural areas and my mother is a Teacher and social worker, who has always worked for poor children. I have developed a fascination for science from my childhood. This inclination towards science was further increased by my active participation in science fair and seminars in my school days. I had a special interest towards science and appreciated its innovative ideas and I want to dedicate my life for man kind with the help of latest technological tool “Computer”. My penchant for science rightly guided me to take up the science stream at the pre university level from which I drew inspiration to imbibe the true spirit of Computer engineering. I took up Computer Engineering as my undergraduate major as it had tremendous potential to becomes a dominate force in this Millennium affecting all walks of human life. Also Computer revolution ushered in an area that heralded the beginning of an all round progress of the planet.
As a student in the First year of undergraduate study for a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science, I look to graduate study to refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. I believe it will also serve to give direction to my goal of a career as a research professional at an academic, research-oriented organization. I intend to pursue a BS degree in order to reach that goal.
Academic Background
In my undergraduate studies of one year as an AUPP (Australian universities pathway program) student, I have benefited from the breadth of NICE MMC College that has given me a comprehensive exposure to the core areas of Computer Science and a strong conceptual understanding of the same. In this year of study, I have strived to maintain an approach of expending independent effort in all my endeavors. Learning by me and sharing my knowledge with others has been most worthwhile, when comprehending a concept.
AUPP is an Australian universities pathway program; I found it the best way of getting into a good university in Australia .As it is not only cost saving and time saving but it is also well planned. This route of AUPP aroused a desire in me to acquire a professional degree in Technical studies from Australia via AUPP.
My quest for the right path can get me to Australia, a highly developed and technically advanced country, which has always opened its welcoming doors to deserving students of all nationalities. Truly it is land of academic opportunities the flexibility offered by its educational system is amazing. Excellent infrastructure, advanced equipment and conductive environment, where individuals Merits and abilities are given due recognition are the strongest reason for me to study in Australia.
One person’s life influences the lives of an unbelievable number of people, one of the most important lessons I learned, being a student and ambassador of NIIT during my secondary level (11th and 12th standard). Working as the youngest ambassador ever of NIIT Kashmir turned out to be a confidence booster. It taught me that the basis for good work is self-reliance and very importantly, time management. Not all of my work was devoid of shortcomings. I learned to accept both criticism and praise with a positive frame of mind. My work involved organizing various events, that brought with them the opportunity to work and interact with various kinds of people. This was a distinctively gratifying experience for me, which I feel would stand in good stead in the future, especially in lieu of any teaching experience.
In conclusion, I would like to add that the essence of University education lies in the synergetic relationship between the student and his department. I feel that bachelor study at Ballarat University will be the most logical extension of my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my objectives. I would be grateful to you if I’m accorded the opportunity to pursue my bachelor studies at Ballarat University and am able to justify your faith in me.
