Fruit Fly problem in plant in office? I work in an office, and I have planted a Red Amaryllis plants. I got the plant in a box as a christmas gift kind of as a "Start your own" kit. The plant has been growing since before christmas, and now I am noticing a lot of fruit flies(or something like that) in the soil and flying around. Does anyone know how I can get rid of them without poisioning my plant?

How can a Biology graduate gain lab experience? Hi. I'm looking for work in plant/biomedical research ideally. I graduated with a 2:1 in Biological Sciences from a UK university last July and have been applying for jobs non-stop since then - only 9 interviews, and rejected by all so far. My interview feedback suggests this is due partly to lack of lab experience (even though I don't apply for jobs that have experience as an essential). How do I get any? It's a vicious circle... most lab jobs require experience, can't get it without a lab job.... I'm signed up to nearly every science recruitment agency going, have contacted all science graduates/people in the industry I know, and am applying for "low-level" less skilled lab tech jobs as well as graduate positions. Can anybody help me? Are there any MSc's which are particularly valued by employers? Would hospitals/universities take me on unpaid work experience? What do you suggest is my next step? I don't want to give up my dream, but I can't be an office temp for another year.

Could CO2 produced by plants at night be hazardous to your health if you are in an enclosed space? I am aware that photosynthesis in plants during the day produces oxygen as a by-product, but at night it is actually the reverse, plants expel CO2. However, some sources say that the CO2 produced at night is small that it may not be hazardous to your health even when you are in the same room with the plant. I just need to be assured that it is safe to have plants in an enclosed space at night and be in the same room with it, i.e.: at offices, bedrooms, etc... Is there a study that shows that it is truly safe to have plants in rooms at night and we do not need to take it outside when the day is over...

Does this story idea sound original? Well, it's about this man named Uriah who's part of an assassin group, he has a son (My main character) Riley and well Uriah asks Riley to go into the woods and to the oldest willow tree there, and put the silver stake he had in his office in it. Well, Riley does and after hacking into Dire Scepsisk's website (Dire Scepsisk is the assassin group) he finds out that they had a uranium mine underground in Russia, and that they were going to set nuclear bombs off, along with more missiles and things like that. All the Dire Scepsisk members were going to stay in an indestructable space shuttel. Everyone will die, and the Dire Scepsisk members will recreate the earth. They'd plant in plants, create more mountains etc. and start the whole world off again. Riley has to decide between living, watching the end of the world and becoming an eleven year old assassin, or dying, possibly saving the world and going to heaven. He tries to fight them, but before he could stop the missiles and the whole plan, his father shoots him and he dies. Then his father stops it all himself and he just shot Riley to distract them while he stops all the plan. The last paragraph would probably be like this: "Uriah ran out of the shuttle and dove down into the now safe world. The missiles self-destructed, the plan to release the nuclear bombs was stopped and Riley Tayson was dead." Riley has to die and his father has to kill him, because I don't want it to end too happily, and I don't want the world to you know, end. Uriah has to kill him for show, you know, just to distract the Dire Skepsis people.

How much is the USA responsible for the holocaust? Eugenics is a pseudo science that followed Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest. They argue that in order for men to survive only a selected few should procreate. Because if we let weak procreate they will weaken the entire race. Basically under Eugenics everyone is created different. “Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler was infamous for eugenics programs which attempted to maintain a "pure" German race through a series of programs that ran under the banner of "racial hygiene". Among other activities, the Nazis performed extensive experimentation on live human beings to test their genetic theories, ranging from simple measurement of physical characteristics to the horrific experiments carried out by Josef Mengele for Otmar von Verschuer on twins in the concentration camps. During the 1930s and 1940s, the Nazi regime forcibly sterilized hundreds of thousands of people whom they viewed as mentally and physically "unfit", an estimated 400,000 between 1934 and 1937. The scale of the Nazi program prompted American eugenics advocates to seek an expansion of their program, with one complaining that "the Germans are beating us at our own game".[13] The Nazis went further, however, killing tens of thousands of the institutionalized disabled through compulsory "euthanasia" programs.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics#Eugenics_and_the_state.2C_1890s.E2.80.931945 But Eugenics was partially homegrown right here USA!!! “The second largest eugenics movement was in the United States. Beginning with Connecticut in 1896, many states enacted marriage laws with eugenic criteria, prohibiting anyone who was "epileptic, imbecile or feeble-minded" from marrying. In 1898 Charles B. Davenport, a prominent American biologist, began as director of a biological research station based in Cold Spring Harbor where he experimented with evolution in plants and animals. In 1904 Davenport received funds from the Carnegie Institution to found the Station for Experimental Evolution. The Eugenics Record Office opened in 1910 while Davenport and Harry H. Laughlin began to promote eugenics.[16] During the 20th century, researchers became interested in the idea that mental illness could run in families and conducted a number of studies to document the heritability of such illnesses as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. Their findings were used by the eugenics movement as proof for its cause. State laws were written in the late 1800s and early 1900s to prohibit marriage and force sterilization of the mentally ill in order to prevent the "passing on" of mental illness to the next generation. These laws were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1927 and were not abolished until the mid-20th century. By 1945 over 45,000 mentally ill individuals in the United States had been forcibly sterilized.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics#Eugenics_and_the_state.2C_1890s.E2.80.931945 What concerns me is that Eugenics is still being followed right here in the USA. Modern Psychiatry alleges with out any evidence that the source of mental illness is genetical. “Compelling evidence exists that disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism to name a few have a strong genetic component.” http://www.psych.org/news_room/press_releases/mentaldisorders0339.pdf Just as German Psychiatrists told Nazi Germany that it was a scientific fact that he German race was a superior race; Americans are being told that the source of depression is a chemical imbalance with out any scientific proof. This theory is being challenge by many in the scientific community as being pseudo-science. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbTqjSfMPKA&mode=related&search= My concern is that once more modern day pseudo-sciences will destroy morality in society in the name of science?

Is carbon-14 dating accurate? (read the whole article or dont answer)?

Bio Question, impossible? I am the post office of the cell. I like to modify, store, and route cellular products to their next destination. I am pretty long and propel cells forward with my whip-like motion. I am like the stomach of the cell, I contain digestive enzymes that break down molecules. Just like a lunch bag, I like to hold all of the undigested food in a cell. I am only found on the very outside of plant cells. I help them maintain their shape! My main job is to create ATP for the cell. I am commonly known as the "power house". I am the "skin" of the cell. My phosopholipid bilayer allows some molecules into the cell while keeping others out. I carry out a very important job, even if I am like an assembly line - I make proteins! I provide structure to the cell through networks of microtubules and microfilaments. You can only find me in plant cells and I absolutely love the sun! My job is to carry out photosynthesis. I am the brain of the cell. I contain the DNA and tell everybody else what to do! I am the factory of the cell. I produce all sorts of molecules and then transport them to where they need to go. I am short and move the cell like the oars of a rowboat! Please help, i found this quiz impossible to answer.
