Biological Breakthrough: Mutated Zebra Fish

The scientists, are now able to clone fish, with a pretty good understanding of what will come out of it. They do this by dumping a male fish into the chemical mutagen ethylnitrosourea. Then when offspring are produced, the embryos are mutated. and after born, a mutated fish is produced.

I feel that this is a pretty big biological breakthrough in the cloning field. However, I cant predict an outcome of the whole thing. The idea of cloning and mutating fish is just something that is very new to this society in my opinion. But, i think the scientist's know what their doing, and by doing this it can be done for a good cause.

Entrepreneur Blog: My dad, a Florist (owner)

My dad is the owner of the Powell Flower Shop in chinatown. His job is to make floral arrangements for funerals, weddings, and all sorts of holidays. He works day and night, during weeks with many orders, and has no time for a lot of things because of this. He earns his living through a lot of hard work, but he gets it done.

After thinking about what my dad does as his job, I feel that he's a hard worker and I should learn this important quality from him. The money he makes is hard earned and helps the community, so it's for a good cause too. I predict that my dad knows what he's doing and his business will work out.

Sorry Mr. Olson, but my dad's business is only about 7 months since it opened and he does not have a site yet, hopefully you can understand since I don't have a link.

Your belly fat could be making you hungrier

After reading this article, it really makes me think about obese people and how they eat a lot. Nowadays we see obesity everywhere, and its a stereotype that all obese people eat loads of food. But after reflecting on the article, maybe you can consider that they can't help themselves, because the article states that the brain naturally produces it, and then studies show the abdominal fat also produces it leading to even more hunger. The article also shows that they can use this as a way to save obese people, because they say that the hormone that makes people hungry goes into the circulatory system and by that, they can take blood samples looking for the hormone and then send the person to therapy because they get very obese. So, in total I learned about obese people and why they made eat a lot.
