  • Males have more predictable personalities

    Rated Nov 23 2 reviews biology nerc.ac.uk

    I'm not so sure about any of this however I've noticed here lately that I've been really hungry for bird seed.

    But females might be on the look out for something else. Being consistent can be a very bad idea for birds living in an ever changing natural environment. So if a male survives to adulthood with an inefficient lifestyle, 'it's probably because he has good genes to compensate for that,' suggests Dall. And good genes are something that all females want from their mates.

  • Pharaohs Had Heart Disease: Scientific American Podcast

    Rated Nov 18 1 review biology, heart disease scientificamerican.com

    I sure feel better now that I know that atherosclorosis is equal opportunity- come one, come all.

      From the page: " Previous examination of a pharaoh's mummy in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo showed that he'd suffered from atherosclerosis. Intrigued by this observation, scientists from the University of California, Irvine got to wondering whether damaged arteries were common among ancient Egyptians. So they collected 20 mummies from the museum basement and from various displays, and subjected them to whole-body CT scans to look at their insides. Sixteen mummies still had identifiable hearts or arteries. And nine of them showed hardening of those arteries.

    Although no one knows what those mummies were eating, it's safe to say they never encountered a corn dog."

    [F]emales defend their territory just as successfully as males despite their smaller claws. It is also the first known case of male and female neighbours teaming up to defend territory in any species,

    Yet another example of Patriarchy or is it the ploy of the helpless female?

  • Glaxo’s vaccine characterised by regulators as EU...

    Rated Sep 19 1 review biology wordpress.com

    To date, there have not been trials on this vaccine only experiments that support there is only one shot needed for this laboratory created Swine Flu pandemic hooplah. Swine flu is real however, the effects from it are far less than the possible long-term affects of the flu shot itself.



    Glaxo's vaccine characterised by regulators as EU and USA biodefense stockpile drug


    Glaxo's pandemic influenza vaccine is characterised by regulatory authorities as a susbtance that needs to be stockpiled in the EUs and USA's biodefense stockpiles.

    Regulatory/Status Index:
    EU666 Biodefense stockpile
    US666 Biodefense stockpile

    This classificiation by regulatory authorities underscores fears that the pandemic flu vaccines, which contain toxic adjuvants, are indeed actually bioweapons, designed to cause death and injury. Furthermore, the Glaxo vaccine is categorised as having controlled or government distribution in the EU and USA only. Below is the entry for the Glaxo pandemic influenza vaccine on a biopharma database.

    Description: Prepandrix prepandemic vaccine is a conventional egg-cultured influenza virus H5N1 (A/VietNam/1194/2005 NIBRG-14) clade 2 inactivated split-antigen vaccine. The H5N1 clade 2 bulk material is being manufactured from a laboratory version seed virus of the wild-type virus provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The reference virus, A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1) NIBRG-14, was developed using reverse genetics, with reassortment strain combining the H5 and N1 segments to with an influenza virus PR8 strain backbone. In addition the H5 was engineered to eliminate the polybasic stretch of amino-acids at the HA cleava … truncated (just the beginning)
