Pytanie #1:
My parents know I'm responsible enough to have a pet, and I'm a walking encyclopedia about all of the pets I would like. My parents say they don't want me to have any more pets. They should talk. They have two dogs and a giant expensive aquarium filled with half the rarest fish in the world. I have a guinea pig I rescued, but he's really mean, bites me about 18 times a day, and I've had him for a long time but he's never liked me. (He likes my dad a lot though.) I really want a quiet pet that is really loving, lives a more than just 3 or 4 years, and is really soft and cuddly. My favorites are cats, rabbits,and flying squirrels/sugar gliders, though I'm leaning towards the rabbit. How can I convince my parents to let me get a pet?

Ironically, I ended up puking on my friend when we watched 2 Girls 1 Cup.
Yeah, neither of us found it very erotic.
When I saw G o a t s e I just kind of sat there with wide eyes and mouth agape in terror, yet I couldn't look away. Then my lunch started playing peekaboo with my throat.
I haven't seen too many shock sites, I've seen 2 Girls 1 Cup, I Love the Fishes, Lemonparty, Tubgirl, and G o a t s e , I think that's all, and most of them are a result of Encyclopedia Dramatica hyperlinks.

Estuary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Estuaries)
For other uses, see Estuary (disambiguation).
Estuary of Klamath River
An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.[1]
Estuaries form a transition zone between river environments and ocean environments and are subject to both marine influences, such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline water; and riverine influences, such as flows of fresh water and sediment. The inflow of both seawater and freshwater provide high levels of nutrients in both the water column and sediment, making estuaries among the most productive natural habitats in the world [2]
Most modern-day estuaries were formed during the Holocene epoch by the flooding of river-eroded or glacially-scoured valleys when sea level began to rise about 10,000-12,000 years ago.[3] Estuaries are typically classified by their geomorphological features or by water circulation patterns and can be referred to by many different names, such as bays, harbors, lagoons, inlets, or sounds, although sometimes these water bodies do not necessarily meet the above criteria of an estuary and may be fully saline.
Estuaries are amongst the most heavily populated areas throughout the world, with about 60% of the world’s population living along estuaries and the coast. As a result, estuaries are suffering degradation by many factors, including sedimentation from soil erosion from deforestation; overgrazing and other poor farming practices; overfishing; drainage and filling of wetlands; eutrophication due to excessive nutrients from sewage and animal wastes; pollutants including heavy metals, PCBs, radionuclides and hydrocarbons from sewage inputs; and diking or damming for flood control or water diversion.[3]

Okay so i have a twenty gallon tank and i have two iridescent sharks, two blue and red neon tetras, one yellow neon tetra and one pink neon tetra, i have two Serpae tetra. I know it is a bad idea to have two iridescent sharks in such a small tank but i didn't know that until after i bought them.

I know for sure they have it because all of the symptoms are there somebody please help.
I have three basic questions...
1. What is the most likely reason my fish came down with the disease?
2. Is it contagious, if so how do i treat the tank so the other fish don't get it? (I need to know specific things to buy and use so i can eliminate time wasting)
3. Will my two iridescent sharks survive even though they already have the white spots and and one with an ulcer already sticking out the sides?

Pagan Origins of Catholicism – The Fish Hat (Mitre)
“The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wears, when he sits on the high altar at Rome and receives the adoration of the Cardinals, is the very mitre worn by the priests of Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians.”
- The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p. 215
Not only does the pope wear this “Mitre” hat, but so do the Cardinals on certain occasions when they are dressed in their royal regalia.
The Mystery religion of ancient Babylon / Assyria, was noted for the priestly class of “Dagon” in much the same way that the “Mystery” religion of Rome has copied it.
“The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wears, when he sits on the high altar at Rome and receives the adoration of the Cardinals, is the very mitre worn by the Priests of Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians.”
- The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p. 215
There’s nothing in the Bible that indicates that Jesus wore such a hat.
Why does the Pope?
The fact is the origin of the hat goes back long before Jesus and can be traced to an ancient Babylonian fish-god named Dagon.
“…there are strong evidences that Dagon was Nimrod…. All scholars agree that the name and worship of Dagon were imported from Babylonia. ”
- The Two Babylons, Hislop, p. 215
“In their veneration and worship of Dagon, the high priest of paganism would actually put on a garment that had been created from a huge fish! The head of the fish formed a mitre above that of the old man, while its scaly, fan-like tail fell as a cloak behind, leaving the human limbs and feet exposed.”
- Babylon and Nineveh, Austen Henry Layard, p. 343
“The most prominent form of worship in Babylon was dedicated to Dagon, later known as Ichthys, or the fish. In Chaldean times, the head of the church was the representative of Dagon, he was considered to be infallible, and was addressed as ‘Your Holiness’. Nations subdued by Babylon had to kiss the ring and slipper of the Babylonian god-king. The same powers and the same titles are claimed to this day by the Dalai Lama of Buddhism, and the Pope. Moreover, the vestments of paganism, the fish mitre and robes of the priests of Dagon are worn by the Catholic bishops, cardinals and popes.
-The Wine of Babylon; Pg 9
The excavations done of ancient Nineveh and Babylon have shed light on the shocking connection between Dagon the fish-god and the Pope’s Mitre (hat).

Pagan Origins of Catholicism and Christmas, "Since the celebration of Christmas has come to the world from the Roman Catholic Church, and has no authority but that of the Roman Catholic Church, let us examine the Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 edition, published by that church. Under the heading "Christmas," you will find:
"Christmas was NOT among the earliest festivals on the Church...the first evidence of the feast is FROM EGYPT." "PAGAN CUSTOMS centering around the January calends gravitated to Christmas."
And in the same encyclopedia, under the heading "Natal Day," we find that the early Catholic father, Origen, acknowledged this truth: "...In the Scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast or held a great banquet on his birthday. It is ONLY SINNERS (like Pharaoh and Herod) who make great rejoicings over the day in which they were born into THIS world"."
The plain truth about Christmas link:

How many other churches follow this pagan custom and others like it knowing there pagan origins as well knowing the mother church it came from is deep in pagan worship not of the God of the Bible? Can they be genuine Christians if they follow counterfeit Christian teachings knowingly and love it that way? Who is the loving God of the Bible who gets ignored by all these churches? Is that Jehovah? And who today do worship only him? Are they imperfect sincere people willing to talk at your door about him and his loving will for us all and have nothing to do with pagan customs like others do? Do the greater number love the road leading away from life and if so why? Are they using their free will choice in a not so wise way? Why?
Why do Jehovah's Witnesses go out to a pagan world that hate them? See Matthew 28:18-20 "And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me [by Jehovah God] in heaven and on the earth. Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”" Why do Christians need to go out and teach? See Matthew 7:13,14 “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the [pagan] road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the [Christian] gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it." [Christian way not easy in a pagan world] We cannot force change, people have to see the need to change and do that for themselves. It is our job to find those!
User to.dd_r said, "Is quite interesting. If Christianity is the narrow gate why is there a church on every corner? Seems to me that the religions of the majority are Abrahamic ones, and our dualistic modern culture is result of it. Religions can change, a societies need to grow will force it to, one century may be dominated by one religions tenets, while the next another." Jesus himself made the narrow gate more narrow here:
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness."
to.dd_r, "That is why in the Christian faith one can find "Pagan"...practices." It is ungodly to add such Pagan things. (Rev. 22:18,19)

Pytanie #11:
Hello, Yahoo community.
With as much humility as I can muster, I come to you with a problem. Over the past years in my high school, I have been an overachiever. I have worked for every A+ that I could get my hands on, and I have taken the PSAT and SAT and scored a 2210 and 223 on them respectively. In addition, I applied and gained membership to MENSA when I was 14 years old. Because of this, my classmates have taken to really thinking of me as some kind of super-genius and frequently let me know so.
The thing is, I don't feel very smart. At all. Every time I get someone saying how they wish they had my grades or they wish they were a "genius" like me, I simply don't know what to say. I have met so many people in my life who are so much smarter than I am -- doctors and lawyers and scientists who have more drive and potential than I have and likely ever will. This is why I feel bad every time someone calls me "Einstein" or a "walking encyclopedia," because deep down I know that many of these kids have never seen a truly intelligent person, and I am just a slightly brighter light bulb in a box of dusty old incandescents.
I'm sorry if this sounds like a my-wallet-is-too-small-for-my-fifties-and-my-diamond-shoes-are-too-tight kind of problem. I really, really do not mean to come off as pretentious or gloating. It's just that I am afraid that if I let all of these compliments and laudations get to my head, I will get a false perception of how intelligent I really am (big fish in a small pond style), and I don't want that happening to me. (It's not a good state of mind to be in -- I've had it happen before.)

I'm basically trying to find a kids science encyclopedia so my kid can research the pufferfish. Of course wikipedia is not usable, nor any other user submitted content site. I tried helping her google this but have gotten inundated by millios of hits. Any help would be appreciated to save a trip to the library.
Pytanie #13:
I really like fish-out-of-water type books, fiction or non, like an immigrant's autobiography of moving to Canada or America. I also like reading about Canadians' or Americans' autobiographies by immigrating to China or Japan or India, any Asian nations.
Another topic of interest are stories of time-travel (and yes, I loved and read the Outlander books and The Time-Traveler's Wife).
One last topic of interest is immersion journalism - like AJ Jacobs's experiments - The Year of Living Biblically (he literally obeyed the bible) and The Know-it-All (he read the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica) and The Guinea Pig Diaries (he tried several different experiments, including outsourcing his business and personal life to India, and trying Radical Honesty for a month - he had to remove the filter between brain and mouth, and say exactly what he was thinking, however rude or awful it may be). He is a very funny writer.
Another immersion journalist I like is Norah Vincent - in Self-Made Man, she lived a year disguised as a man. In Voluntary Madness, she spent a year checking herself into various mental facilities - from a cheap, government hospital ward, to a private hospital, and lastly, to an alternate-therapy unit.
Both authors write about their experiences.
Okay, so you know what I'm looking for - does anyone have suggestions? Anyone know of any other immersiojournaliststs, fiction including time-travel, or fish-out-of-water type immigrant autobiographies?
Thanks so much in advance!
And oh, one last thing, please, no soppy romance suggestions. The Outlander series are somewhat romantic, but the author (Diana Gabaldon) is a very funny writer, in a dry humour sort of way, and no heaving bosoms.
Thanks!

Fraud rediscovered
It has long been known that one of the most effective popularizers of evolution fudged some drawings, but only now has the breathtaking extent of his deceit been revealed.
by Russell Grigg
Most people have heard of or been taught the idea that the human embryo goes through (or recapitulates) various evolutionary stages, such as having gills like a fish, a tail like a monkey, etc., during the first few months that it develops in the womb.
The idea has not only been presented to generations of biology/medical students as fact, but has also been used for many years to persuasively justify abortion.
Abortionists claimed that the unborn child being killed was still in the fish stage or the monkey stage, and had not yet become a human being.
This idea (called embryonic recapitulation) was vigorously expounded by Ernst Haeckel from the late 1860s to promote Darwin’s theory of evolution in Germany, even though Haeckel did not have evidence to support his views
Data manufactured
Lacking the evidence, Haeckel set out to manufacture the data.
He fraudulently changed drawings made by other scientists of human and dog embryos, to increase the resemblance between them and to hide the dissimilarities. We reported on this particular fraud in a recent issue of Creation magazine
Haeckel’s German peers (notably, in 1874, Wilhelm His Sr, professor of anatomy at the University of Leipzig) were aware of this fraud and extracted a modest confession from him, in which he blamed the draughtsman for blundering—without acknowledging that he himself was the draughtsman!
Most informed evolutionists in the past 70 years have realised that the recapitulation theory is false
Nevertheless, the recapitulation idea is still advanced as evidence for the theory of evolution in many books and particularly encyclopedias and by evolutionary popularizers like the late Carl Sagan
But wait—there’s more
Haeckel’s famous (infamous) set of 24 drawings purporting to show eight different embryos in three stages of development, as published by him in Anthropogenie, in Germany, 1874
When evolutionists say that the recapitulation theory is false, they usually do not mean to admit that comparing embryos gives no evidence of common ancestry
In fact, they still frequently highlight the assumed similarities between embryos in their early stages (called embryonic homology) as evidence for evolution. This assumption is based on the idea that such similarities are ‘common knowledge’
This alleged similarity of embryos has for years been resting, consciously or unconsciously, on a set of 24 of Haeckel’s drawings which he first published in 1866 in his Generalle Morphologie der Organismen, and then repeated in 1874 in his more popular Anthropogenie (see below)
These purport to show embryos of fish, salamander, turtle, chicken, pig, cow, rabbit, and human in three stages of development.
The various stages, particularly the earlier ones, show substantial similarity. Ever since these drawings appeared, it has been assumed that they have given us something close to the truth about embryos of vertebrate species. So much so that they still appear in textbooks and popular works on evolution
In fact, no one has bothered to check—until now
It turns out that Haeckel’s fraud was much worse than anyone realised
It did not just affect the idea of recapitulation, it turns out that the similarities are much, much less than anyone thought.
Fraud examined and exposed
Top row: Haeckel’s drawings of several different embryos, showing incredible similarity in their early ‘tailbud’ stage
Bottom Row: Richardson’s photographs of how the embryos really look at the same stage. (From left: Salmo salar, Cryptobranchus allegheniensis, Emys orbicularis, Gallus gallus, Oryctolagus cuniculus, Homo sapiens.)
Many modern evolutionists no longer claim that the human embryo repeats the adult stages of its alleged evolutionary ancestors, but point to Haeckel’s drawings (top row) to claim that it repeats the embryonic stages
However, even this alleged support for evolution is now revealed as being based on faked drawings
Michael Richardson, a lecturer and embryologist at St George’s Hospital Medical School, London, has exposed this further fraud, in an article in the journal Anatomy and Embryology, recently reviewed in Science and New Scientist
Richardson says he always felt there was something wrong with Haeckel’s drawings, ‘because they didn’t square with his [Richardson’s] understanding of the rates at which fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals develop their distinctive features’
He could find no record of anyone having actually compared embryos of one species with those of another, so that ‘no one has cited any comparative data in support of the idea’
He therefore assembled an international team to do just that—examine and photograph ‘the external form of embryos from a wide range of vertebrate sp

Pytanie #18:
Hi Guys,
So this has nothing to do with it, but last week on Thursday my rabbit past away I was upset then but now Im more over it but still sad. I've asked for another rabbit and my parents say no, same goes for asking for a horse. I have a dog and fish but my dad mostly says "You don't bother about the dog" would proving I do bother about it help? I am really desperate for a horse. I have two encyclopedia's, I live on a farm which my uncle owns and my dad's friend owns horses who I have ridden. I know this may not sound right but I really want one. It's not fair as I am middle and I don't get much, my brother and sister do. Now I don't want to go into detail about that as it'll sound like Im moaning. Anyway, any tips or advice on persuading parents to buy you a horse?
All appreciated!
Thanks,

you are all very rude
and need lives
if all you can do is copy and paste encyclopedia articles, and be rude to people,
then you're sad
what most of you write is unoriginal
so my question is WHY are you all so mean?

you are rude!
and what do you mean " tell you what you want to hear!"
i have never asked a question about fish
just tried to help other people out and other people who are answering email me rude emails!

I'm highly experience in freshwater fish keeping, and I've heard that is real helpful, so I'm now going into marine fish keeping! I can't wait, I've wanted to go have a few saltwater specimens since I saw Finding Nemo when I was a kid, lol. I bought the Complete Encyclopedia of the Saltwater Aquarium by Nick Dakin, and it has most of the information I need but I really wood like to ask a few extra questions...
1. How mature does my saltwater have to be to hold a few hardy fish such as clownfishes, damsels, or living rock?
2. What invertebrates ARE easy to care for?
3. If my tank has a few cracks and broken glass in it, will a good cleaning and patching up cracks with silicone fix the situation?
4. I know their not some weird aquatic plant, their living, breathing, delicate invertebrates, but what do they mean by "not for beginners, best for experts only". What special needs DO they really need? I know they need very mature water, but what else?!
5. For an experience person in freshwater keeping going into marine fish keeping, would you recommend I get a 20 gallon tank or a large, 180 gallon tank in which I can grow my tank to a large size and what not?
6. If I get a 180 gallon tank, do you suggest I get a heater for that size or have a few, smaller heaters so I don't bring my water to a boiling point?
7. How can I adjust my lighting to go from bright in the day and to fade away as it get darker outside, and then fade back to light the fallowing morning slowly?
8. After my tank water is three months old, what other fish can I put in it? Preferably does that live in the Indo-Pacific or Pacific Ocean?

“God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” In these plain and pointed words the inspired author of the book of Genesis made known to the
world the truth concerning the origin of the human family....
“God created man in His own image.” This is just as true of the spirit as it is of the body,...
-----------------------------------------
There are also some quotes by church leaders as well (not nec. given as doctrine, but which seems to match the doctrine just the same) Ex:
Joseph Fielding Smith, The Signs of the Times, p22-23 - Things started off good and fell (The Fall). Now, the Lord says when He had finished these works He pronounced them “very good.” All right, if everything was very good - and can you imagine the Lord creating anything that was not good? What in the world are you going to do with these theories of men that place this world for millions of years in a condition of trouble, of death, of change, of strife; what are you going to do about it? I ask you that question.
(He was quoting Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.)
and also there was an important talk given at the BYU Sperry Symposium by Boyd K. Packer called “The Law and the Light”
The purpose of that talk was to dispel the false doctrine that was common at that time of:
[ first there was slime/ big bang/ amino acids which evolved into fish to amphibians to animals/ apes to man and THEN man was placed into the garden of Eden.] His talk was to make clear that that is not how man originated.
He gave 6 reasons:
1. The revelations from God. The revelations testify of the separate creation of man in the image of God—this after the rest of creation was finished.
2. An understanding of the sealing authority. The sealing authority with its binding of the generations into eternal families cannot admit to ancestral blood lines to beasts. Let me repeat: An understanding of the sealing authority with its binding of the generations into eternal families cannot admit to ancestral blood lines to beasts. That should be reason enough for any endowed and sealed Latter-day Saint!
3. Statements of the prophets and apostles. When the First Presidency speaks, we can safely accept their word. Twice the First Presidency has declared the position of the Church on organic evolution. The first, a statement published in 1909 entitled “The Origin of Man” (75-81), was signed by Presidents Joseph F.Smith, John R. Winder, and Anthon H. Lund. The other, entitled “‘Mormon’ View of Evolution,” signed by Presidents Heber J. Grant, Anthony W. Ivins, and Charles W. Nibley, was published in 1929 (1090-91). It follows very closely the first statement, indeed quotes directly from it. The doctrines in both statements are consistent and have not changed. One paragraph from the first will give you a feeling for their content.
It is held by some that Adam was not the first man upon this earth, and that the original human being was a development from lower orders of the animal creation. These, however, are the theories of men. The word of the Lord declares that Adam was “the first man of all men” (Moses 1:34), and we are therefore in duty bound to regard him as the primal parent of our race. It was shown to the brother of Jared that all men were created in the beginning after the image of
God; and whether we take this to mean the spirit or the body, or both, it commits us to the same conclusion: Man began life as a human being, in the likeness of our heavenly Father (“The Origin of Man” 80; see the full texts of both statements in Appendix A below).
4. There are moral laws of force and validity which govern that spiritual part of man, the power to reason, the conscience, which animals do not possess.
5. Beauty itself cannot be imagined as having come by accident. The precision, harmony, and symmetry of the physical universe and the compelling interrelationship of natural laws with the spirit and emotion of mankind
Ethan - Can I get some bonus points for length, because I just got cut off...I had more...really!
Some of my stuff got cut off...but what I was kind of getting at, is that I hear of Mormons believing in evolution and I wonder where they are coming from...and how they can believe that and say they are a Mormon....
many good answers - thanks!
Old Timer Too - "I believe that the Garden of Eden was not part of the mortal universe" - what do you think about the statements about the Garden of Eden being in present day Missouri?
-There have been several suggestions or hints that it isn't related to salvation - but I think it is in a way - the General Authorities have felt the need to make statements about it...also the reason I believe it is pressed hard by the adversary is because if he can take the element of "The Fall" out of the equation, then that would negate a lot of things...(existence of good and evil for example), which he can use to convince people that there is no such thing...etc..anyway I think it is relevant to consider/ salvation related in a way at least...
cogito - I like that question - interesting, good link too.
strplg warrior mom - yes that was the time frame...did you go to that? (thanks for the additional background of what was going on)
10 cane - thanks for that - I like in the packet (towards the end) where it talks about avoiding contention in these matters! That is definitely something relevant about this issue to keep in mind I think, because passions can run high! - "The less a thing can be proven, the angrier people get who argue about it."
RKd6 - "Officially, the church takes no position on evolution. Some Church leaders have also spoken in favor of evolution, including Talmage and Roberts. " = these are the kind of statements exactly that I am referring to. I admire you and your intelligence and great answers...I just wonder how you can say " the church takes no position on evolution" ? it seems to me like they have??? also I would be interested in the Roberts and Talmage sources you mentioned!

Pytanie #25:
Africa provides a comprehensive and contigious time line of human development going back at least 7 million years. Africa gave humanity the use of fire a million and half to two million years ago. It is the home of the first tools, astronomy, jewelry, fishing, mathematics, crops, art, use of pigments, cutting and other pointed instruments and animal domestication. In short Africa gave the world human civilization.
Millions of years ago human life started in Africa, Australopithecus aphaeresis and Australopithecus africanus and Australopithecus robustus were all key rungs in the development of humanity. These fossils were found in East and South Africa (Azania). Some of the fossils may be as old as 5 million years. For example Australopithecus robustus fossils found in an East Turkana Kenya site were at least 4 million year old.
It is generally accepted that the Homo habilis were the first full fledge tool makingancestor of humans. The earliest archaeological evidence of toolmaking comes from the Koobi Fora section of East Turkana. These Homo habilis are believed to be at least 2.5 million years old. The name Homo habilis comes from the Leakeys. They found what they believed to be conclusive fossil evidence of the first humans in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania and gave these ancestors that name called Homo habilis.. The Olduvai Gorge Homo habilis existed at least a million and quarter years ago
More important than tool making in human evolution is the mastery of fire. Nearly 2 million years ago early East Africans had mastered the use of fire. This was a revolutionary step in the development of humanity. This critical innovation insured the survival and spread of the species around the planet. It gave us an advantage over animal predators such as the big cats, hyenas and allowed human settlements in less accommodating climates. These people have been named Homo erectus by archaeologists. It is generally accepted that the final leap from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens sapiens as having occurred in Africa over two hundreds thousand years ago.
The Encyclopedia of World History describes the use of mtDNA found in fossils as a means of revealing the processes involved in this final leap. (The acronym mtDNA stands for mitochondrial DNA*.)
olecular biologists like Alan Wilson and Rebecca Cann have studied the human family tree using this form of DNA, which is inherited through the female line without being diluted with paternal DNA. Thus, they argue, it provides a unique tool for studying ancestral populations. They compared mtDNA from Africans, Asians, Europeans, and Southeast Asians and found that the differences between them were small. They formed two groups: one was the Africans, the other the remainder. Wilson and Cann concluded that all modern humans derive from a primordial African population, from which populations migrated to the rest of the Old World with little or no interbreeding with existing archaic human groups. By calculating the rate of mtDNA mutations, they argue that archaic Homo sapiens evolved from Homo erectus in Africa by about 200,000 years ago. Then Homo sapiens sapiens, anatomically modern humans, appeared some 140,000 years ago. Mitochondrial DNA is still controversial, but there is some archaeological evidence from Africa that supports the biologists' scenario. Highly varied, early Homo sapiens populations flourished in sub-Saharan Africa between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago, some of them displaying some anatomically modern features. At the Klasies River Caves on the Indian Ocean coast of South Africa, anatomically modern human remains date to between 125,000 and 95,000 years ago. They are associated with sophisticated, versatile tool kits that were, if anything, superior to those used by the Neanderthals in Europe at the time.
Many scientists believe that Homo sapiens sapiens, modern humans, did indeed evolve in tropical Africa sometime after 150,000 years ago, as the geneticists argue. Ecologist Robert Foley has theorized that modern humans evolved in a mosaic of constantly changing tropical environments, which tended to isolate evolving human populations for considerable periods of time. Some groups living in exceptionally rich areas may have developed unusual hunting and foraging skills, using a new technology so effective that they could prey on animals from a distance with finely made projectiles. With efficient technology, more planning, and better organization of both hunting and foraging, our ancestors could have reduced the risks of living in unpredictable environments in dramatic ways.

Teenage DNA Sleuths Expose New York Fish Fraud
ACCRA (Reuters) - Up to a quarter of fish in stores and restaurants in New York City was mislabeled as a more expensive variety, according to samples collected by two U.S. teenagers and tested with modern genetic identification methods.
In the worst cases, two samples of filleted fish sold as red snapper, caught mostly off the southeast United States and in the Caribbean, were instead the endangered Acadian redfish from the North Atlantic, according to the tests, revealed on Friday.
"We never expected these results. People should get what they pay for," Kate Stoeckle, 18, told Reuters of the project with Louisa Strauss, 17.
The two classmates from New York's Trinity school collected and sent off 60 fish samples to the University of Guelph in Canada. Of 56 samples that could be identified by a four-year-old DNA identification technique, 14 were mislabeled.
In all cases, the fish was labeled as a more costly type, apparently ruling out simple chance. It was the first known student use of DNA barcoding technology in a public market.
"We really like sushi and we'd take home fish samples and put them in alcohol," Stoeckle said of fish bought in shops and restaurants in Upper Manhattan.
Stoeckle's father Mark is an expert in genetic barcoding -- a system that produces a unique readout of a species' genes similar to the black and white barcode stripes often used to identify items sold in shops.
"Americans spend an estimated $70 billion per year on seafood and we think authorities should do routine DNA barcoding of fish," Louisa Strauss said in a statement. Costs of barcoding run to tens of dollars per sample.
The DNA of fish from a sushi restaurant called "white tuna" turned out to be Mozambique tilapia, a cheaper variety often raised on fish farms. One restaurant offered "Mediterranean red mullet" but the DNA matched spotted goatfish from the Caribbean.
The project did not give the names of the restaurants and shops since it was unclear if they were knowingly to blame or had been deceived by suppliers.

Pytanie #33:
Part of some research I found the other day:
Dean Burgon, in his Letters from Rome, wrote: “I question whether a cross occurs on any Christian monument of the first four centuries.” Mons Perret, who spent fourteen years doing research in the catacombs of Rome, counted in all a total of 11,000 inscriptions among the millions of tombs. According to him, “not until the latter years of the fourth century does the sign of the cross appear.” Among the signs that do appear are the dove, a symbol of the holy spirit; the lyre, a symbol of joy; the anchor, a symbol of hope and the fish.
The Encyclopædia Britannica, Vol. 7, of edition 11, page 506, says: ‘It was not till the time of Constantine that the cross was publicly used as the symbol of the Christian religion.'
Question: Modern Christians highly venerate the image of the cross, but why was the same attitude not held by first century Christians with regards to veneration of the cross symbol, and what caused the adoption of that image?
To Worker4IAM:
Besides the fact that you ignored the actual question, I must must also point out that you misunderstand the Scripture you attempt to use against me.
For the speech about the torture stake [Jesus’ ransom sacrifice] is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is God’s power. For it is written: ‘I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectual men I will shove aside.’ Where is the wise man [such as the philosopher]? Where the scribe? Where the debater of this system of things? Did not God make the wisdom of the world foolish? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not get to know God, God saw good through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing." (1Cor 1:17-21)
God's power is not in the torture stake/cross (whatever you want to call it), God's power is in the preaching about Jesus' sacrificial death.
1Cor 1:18
ὁ λόγος γὰρ ὁ τοῦ σταυροῦ τοῖς μὲν ἀπολλυμένοις μωρία ἐστίν, τοῖς δὲ σῳζομένοις ἡμῖν δύναμις θεοῦ ἐστιν.
o logos gar o tou staurou tois men apollumenois mōria estin tois de sōzomenois ēmin dunamis theou estin
The Greek word "staurou," which is rendered as "cross" in many Bibles, can actually mean numerous things, including a simple upright stake or tree. (See Acts 10:39)
Each of Big Guy's points have been addressed in a private response. I did not post it here because it was 886 words long. If anyone wished for a copy of that response, please feel free to email me and I will be happy to send you a copy.
As for the nails through the hands:
The illustration given by Justus Lipsius (1547-1606) in his book De cruce libri tres shows an image of a man fasted to an upright stake with BOTH his hands impaled by the same nail, and with both his feet held in place by one large nail. Thus it is indeed possible to have multiple nails and multiple holes in the hands on a torture stake, or "crux simplex" as Lipsius calls it.

Why have some fish developed lungs as well as gills?
6 species of Lungfish: "Some do this even though they also use gills while others have developed a type of lungs that allows them to breath air which is gulped from the surface of the water. Of interest is the fact that these lung type organs are much like those of the ancient amphibians."
Click Here
Northern Snakehead: "Snakeheads can breathe air and survive for up to four days out of water. They are capable of traveling over land to new bodies of water."
Click Here
Or how about a fish that climbs trees and walks on land: Anabantidae possess a labyrinth organ, a structure in the fish's head which allows them to "breathe" atmospheric oxygen.
Click Here
The bible certainly doesn't say anything about fish traveling over land it just says they live in water. So where did these critters come from?
Why is it unreasonable to think that, over time, the fins these fish are walking on might develop into something more like feet and they might spend more and more time on land, eventually becoming a new amphibian species?

Which is true? Capernaum is a city of ancient Palestine or Israel?
Who claims this area ? Who lives there?

Capernaum -city of ancient Palestine, situated on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee

Douai Capharnaum , modern Kefar Nahum ancient city on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Israel. It was Jesus' second home and, during the period of his life, a garrison town, an administrative centre, and a customs station. Jesus chose his disciples Peter, Andrew, and Matthew from Capernaum and performed many of his miracles there. The long dispute over Kefar Nahum's identification with Capernaum…

Who lives there today, Palestinians or Jewish people? Who controls this area?
*********************
Maya - Jesus taught how, when, where and to whom we pray and worship. I believe He was God manifested in the name of Jesus. He told the people their religious leaders were hypocrites, the religious leaders proved it…read Matthew 26:57-64 ...they found Him guilty without a trial, they beat Him and the high priest rent his clothing….all against the law. The religious leaders enforced the law, but didn’t live by it. He wasn’t just another man claiming to be the son of God, in His words and actions He shows us who He is. Read Matthew 1.…When you deny Christ …you deny God.
****************
americaa - I pray for Israel and peace there too. I know God gave that land to the Israelites, but my interest is in who is claiming it. There is a reason I wanted to know about this specific area. I feel bad for all who are suffering, but the fact is….it’s not as much about the land as it is about the annihilation of a people. If you study as I do, then you know how peace will come about in Israel, and you know what comes along with it.
***************
Me - Genesis 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Israel has been around and named by God …you need to go further back in history. You can not study the Torah or Bible for very long and not know how important Israel is to God. You look only at the land and the statehood…but there is much more to Israel than land and statehood.

Is it controlled by Jewish, Palestinian or Christians who have made it a tourist area?

Thank you all so much for your impute. I love history and when studying the Bible is very important, but what I’m studying deals with the future.

I already went to school, but now I'm curious about how mammals (or fish or reptiles) are classified. But the problem is, I don't want to get a book on, say, squirrels and only learn a squirrel's structure.

Pytanie #46:
Tina Turner
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search
“TINA! If you don't get yo big, black ass back here, I'm gonna have yo dead carcus rollin' down the river!”
~ Ike Turner on Tina Turner
“Tina Turner made me marmalade puree for my homeless fish!... I'll never forget her.”
~ Oscar Wilde on Tina Turner
“ I LOVE Tina because she reminds me of a man in drag. She has some sexy legs man...very sexy! Keep it going Tina!”
~ Oprah on Tina Turner
“ DADDY WHOOPED YO ASS!!!”
~ Ike Jr. on Tina Turner
Tina Turner is a rock singer who's voice is certified by the Tinnis Book of World Records as the loudest noise originating from a mammal on the planet.
Tina Turner in her Private Dancer phaseBorn Ike Turner, in the small mining village of Andy Rooney, Turner grew up white. She overcame the prejudices and rampant sexual come-ons that being white comes with by dying her skin with Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, which she tastes like until this very day.
[edit] Four Equal Signs and Read This Shit, too
When Turner was 94, she was caught having sexual relations with Rolling Bones lead singer Click Jagger during what was supposed to be a charity concert to raise funds for the Romanovs, Oldenburgs and other deposed European Royalty. Keith Richards watched on and laughed a smoker's hack, coughing up the Afghani poppy crop for the year 1969. After rolling over, Turner was quoted as saying to Jagger "You know, you're simply the best. Better than ALLL the rest" and a hit single was born.
Noted for her goodwill efforts to help spread the legs of Sharon Stone, Turner is today a prominent ingredient of many of the 31 Flavors and is currently married to the president George W. Bush who is actually her cousin, or father (it's the South!). They had many children but decided on aborting them after birth via a space time rip, thus leading to the "Turner-Bush-Paradox" they never happened (oh but they did!!!).
[edit] Walk On the Wild Side, or How To Finally Catch Moose and Squirrel
Turner is also a noted leg. Some of the most famous in the world, her legs are often photographed and have in the past been deep fried by the Kentucky Colonel himself. If you turn the right one three times to the right and stop at 32, once to the left and stop of 12, and once more to the right until you reach 3, Baby Jesus will free my soul.

Pytanie #48:
I read this on Encyclopedia Mythinca under "Labuna":
In Islamic popular tradition, the big fish which swims round and round in the lower ocean. On its head stands the giant earth bull, holding the earth between its horns. Labuna eats 70,000 fish every day, which are especially created for it, each lasting it for three days' travelling. A specially created angel flies daily down from heaven to bring fresh food.
I have never heard of this figure before, but I would like to know more. Has anyone ever heard of this or does anyone know anything else about it? Thanks.

Pytanie #50:
Among the Roman Catholic Church's most highly venerated relics have been pieces of the "true Cross". So many of these were scattered throughout Europe and other parts of the world that Calvin once said that if all pieces were gathered together, they would form a good ship-load; yet the Cross of Christ was carried by one individual! Are we to believe that these pieces miraculously multiplied as when Jesus blessed the loaves and fishes? Such was apparently the belief of St. Paulinus who spoke of "the reintegration of the Cross", i.e. that it "never grew smaller in size, no matter how many pieces were detached from it"! [The Catholic Encyclopaedia, Vol. 4, p. 524]
