      Are Your Vitamins Or Supplements Synthetic? Does That Matter?
      Do You Take Synthetic Vitamins? Are They Making You Sicker?Most vitamin and nutritional supplements that are available today, even in most so-called "health" food stores, are not natural, whole food based supplements. Most of them are actually synthetic, derived in a lab like a chemical, even if they are labeled 'natural'! What exactly does that mean, synthetic, and what is wrong with synthetic?F

A synthetic scale is a scale that is not diatonic to the major or minor scale, rather, a scale a composer constructs. There are several ways to construct a synthetic scale, there are 12 possible tones and you can select any combination. One really great way.

      People Against Synthetic Supplements (PASS)
      Have you ever wanted to change something so much you would do anything to make it happen? That's how I feel about synthetic vitamins. Do you take them? I used to, but not anymore. I got so worked up after I learned what they could do to a person that I started PASS. Remember MADD? I feel like a version of Candy Lightner, the mom who founded MADD in 1980. She was driven to it after a repeat drunk-driver killed her daughter, Cari. Candy started as one mother with a passion and clear mission to protect other moms from drunk drivers killing their child. Today MADD is recognized worldwide. I want to do the same thing with PASS Bring about awareness about the possible dangers of synthetic multi vitamins see here and here and offer people who care, an alternative that's whole-food based instead

      Synthetic Stock - inexpensive alternative to buying shares
      The following is a hypothetical example that can be applied to any stock, index, ETF, etc.Suppose you thought that MSFT has found support at 27 and therefore felt that MSFT (currently at 29) had little downside risk but decent potential upside.You could purchase 100 shares of MSFT for $2,916.Or you could buy an ATM call for $211 while simultaneously selling an ATM put for ($281) for a total capital outlay of negative $70. Keep in mind though that you will be required to have $940 in your account as collateral for the naked put you sold.What this strategy does, is it frees up about $2,000 of capital while your risk/reward profile is the same whether you own the stock or the 'synthetic stock'. This is a perfect example of leverage. Suppose MSFT climbs to $35 anytime before October 2008.

      Synthetic Estrogens Wreak Havoc On Your Reproductive System
      Researchers are developing a clearer understanding of why the synthetic estrogens found in many widely-used plastics can cause damage to a developing fetus, fertility problems, and vaginal and breast cancers. Past research has shown that exposure to the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) alters the expression of HOXA10, a gene necessary for uterine development. By studying the DNA of the offspring of 30 pregnant mice injected with DES, researchers found changes in certain regions of the HOXA10 gene that continued beyond the time of development and persisted into adulthood. HOXA 10 protein expression was shifted to the bottom portion of the uterus in the female offspring, indicating that DES is actually changing the structure of the HOXA 10 gene.

      SYNTHETIC SEA: No, trash doesn't magically disappear just like barrels of oil don't magically grow on trees

Albatrosses will feed plastic mistaken for marine food to their chicks, which die slowly from a diet of indigestible trash.Other marine life suffers from our wanton behavior towards trash. Sea turtles can die from plastic impacting within their gut. Marine debris also impacts other marine life such as fish.Need proof that trash such as plastic adversely influences marine wildlife?

      Could Synthetic Bodies Make Humans Immortal?
      If a human brain were to be hooked up to a synthetic body, how many years could that person last? Even if they kept up with upgrades and replacement parts for their new physique, is there a limit to how long the human brain can function normally? Even if all brain diseases are cured, would the mind eventually break down?I've read that we get old because of limitations in our cellular makeup. Basically, the DNA or something can only divide so many times before it doesn't have the ability to copy itself any longer. That happens for many different types of cells, and eventually the groups of cells that have stopped replenishing themselves have bigger and bigger problems. This contributes to aging.Cancer cells can divide indefinitely. Can cells of the brain divide at all?

      Synthetic Beauty
      The old adage, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is so true. When it comes to the entertainment industry, looking good is paramount when it comes to the success of their careers. At least that is the mentality of the majority of celebrities and the powers that be. Does it even matter how "natural" or "synthetic" beauty is these days? In general, the public doesn't seem care how their favorite celebrity got to look the way they do. Does anyone really give a flip that Tom Cruise has a much better nose than he had when his career started? Did anyone even notice that Enrique Iglesias burned off that massive mole from his face? Ultimately, it shouldn't matter because at the end of the day talent and skills will prevail most of the time. Sometimes you just can't stop lady luck. Some people

      Researchers a Step Closer to Synthetic Life
      Researchers at the Venter Institute in Rockville, Md., have completed phase two of a three-part plan to create synthetic life. Craig Venter, the scientist-entrepreneur who founded the institute and jump-started the race to map the human genome, announced the achievement Thursday. The research team succeeded in creating a man-made copy of the genome for a bacterium, the first time that's been done. A genome is the complete set of DNA in the chromosomes of a living organism, the instruction set for how an organism works. But while they were able to copy the genome of an existing organism, they weren't able to create a brand new one. Essentially, they managed to write the "software code" for a bacterium but they haven't yet figured out how to turn it on and make it live. Once that

A synthetic diamond is basically a rock that has the durability, refractive index and hardness of a natural diamond – but it is made by man. A synthetic diamond should not be confused with stimulant diamonds, such as glass, cubic zirconia, or moissanite. Although the technology for synthetic diamonds came into play in 1954,

      Oregon Lawmakers Propose Tougher Restrictions on Synthetic Stucco (EIFS)
      EIFS stands for Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems. It is a synthetic exterior siding that looks like stucco, has been used on Oregon homes and businesses for years and has had its fair share of issues.  Proposed Oregon House Bill 2112-B is an attempt by Oregon’s lawmakers to address those issues by severely restricting the use of EIFS and reinforcing the ban on earlier versions of the product. The problem found with EIFS is that, if it’s not installed correctly, water can seep behind the siding. In a wet climate like Oregon’s this water has no way to dry out. The moisture stays, mold grows, and the claim is, it can make people sick and potentially damage the building. In addition, it can be a perfect environment for termites to tunnel behind if installed too close to the ground. Manufacturers say the updated versions of the product no longer have the same issues as before. If you are considering buying a house with synthetic stucco on the exterior be sure to

      How to Create Synthetic FOREX Currency Pairs
      When trading FOREX, investors usually have major currency pairs at their disposal, but if they wish to trade in some of the exotic currency pairs, their options are somewhat limited. The problem that traders face most often is that these exotic currencies are paired up against either the US Dollar or the Euro; therefore, if someone wishes to trade the Mexican Peso against the Japanese Yen, he would be out of luck. Nevertheless, this trade is possible—it just requires a little extra work on the trader’s behalf. In the above example of using the Mexican Peso and the Japanese Yen, a trader could accomplish the desired trade by tying the USD/JPY and the USD/MXN together. The idea in doing this would be to have the zero USD exposure, giving the trader the synthetic MXN/JPY pair. For instance if a trader wanted to go long $5,000 worth of Mexican Pesos against the Japanese Yen, he would need to go short 5,000 units of the USD/MXN (short USD/long MXN), giving them a $5,000 short exposure t
