Disruptive Technology - Genome Research By Dr Venter

The Dimbleby lecture on BBc tonight was awesome. Dr J Craig Venter spoke of the apathy towards science and popular movement towards regression from fundamentalists in todays society.

He spoke of disruptive technology, ie, A disruptive technology or disruptive innovation is a technological innovation, product, or service that eventually overturns the existing dominant technology or statud quo product in the market.

We have relied on fossil fuels for so long, wouldnt it be fantastic for there to be an instance of disruptive technology and innovation to bring about new energy sources. Not alternative energy like windmills and water power, but Dr Craig Venter speaks of biological means. With the decoding of the genome, it is possible to create new species, design new species, and although that probably strikes fear into some hearts, in actuality that means we can create organsisms that produce energy. An actual renewable source of energy, just by altering the DNA structure of bacteria that can be mass produced, as far as I could understand.

Its fantastic, but it is actually underway, and it is actually a really great thing that might just protect the future of mankind and our planet as we know it!

If you get a chance to see the Dimbleby Lecture by Dr Craig Venter then its really clearly explained there and its really exciting, I do not think anyone could fail to be excited by what he is saying , what he is doing and what this means for the future!

Jagannath Temple Puri Admission Policy

Jagannath Temple Puri Admission Policy Is totally non Hindu....and I mean that the policy is non Hindu, to deny entry to people based on skin color and geographical location, is a non Hindu attitude of intolerance that is totally unbecoming such a leading Hindu Holy Place.

Many of those who are allowed to enter, are meat eaters, drinkers, even alot of the Pujari are inoxicated on drugs like Marijuana/Bhang that is legal in Puri. So when did all this hypocrisy begin and when will it end?

Water Fasting Brightens Eyes

I did a 3 day water fast last week, taking nothing but water, no food or anything else, just water for 3 days and its amazing what the water fast has done to my eyes.

For ages I have complained of tired sore eyes and I have blamed fact that I work so much on pc staring at a screen all day. I even got a prescription for some glasses with an anti glare in them.

I didnt do the fast for my eyes, I had no idea it would have any effect, but the effect on my eyes is amazing. They feel so fresh and cool and they look really white as well, i did a google check on water fasting and eyes afterwards and apparently it is a common beneficial effect of a water fast that it is really good for the eyes.

It is always nice when you have done something tough like a water fast to get a noticable benefit, I wasnt expecting this, but am really pleased as it means I can work longer and better due to less eye soreness and stuff, don't mind looking a bit better too, that never hurts.

The other amazing effect I had was one on PMS, i have always suffered real bad for the 4 days of my monthly, with terrible cramps and weakness, this water fast coincided with my period and again I had no prior knowledge that it would have an effect, but googling it now I see others have had same benefit, which was that I had absolutely NO period pain during the period whilst on the water fast. I just funcioned normally, which is usually impossible for me during period.

So I dont really know all the benefits of a short water fast like that, but these are just 2 effects that I was amazed at.

I have read of people who do water fasts for several weeks, I was pretty weak by day 3 so unless it is possible to really just sit and do nothing after that, I can't imagine I could do a water fast whilst continuing to work for longer than 3 days. When I broke the fast with some grain, it tasted heavenly like I have never tasted before.
