He is confident that Kepler will find hundreds of Earth-like planets, many of which will probably be "inhabited with something." ----- Considered a leader in the search for planets outside our solar system, Alan Boss says we are at a turning point in our search for extraterrestrial life. He expects we are on the verge of finding many different Earth-like planets across the universe, and he expects it will be common to find life on those planets. He shares his ideas for how the United States can be on the forefront of the next great discovery: life on another planet. Alan Boss is an astrophysicist and a research scientist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and a member of its Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, where he does research on planetary and stellar formation. He is also a member of the Science Working Group for NASA's Kepler Mission to determine the frequency of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way Galaxy and serves on the Kepler Science council, the group that will oversee Kepler's planet discoveries. One of the world's leading authorities on the formation of stars and planets, he has been elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. UC Berkeley's Center for Integrative Planetary Science's professor Geoff Marcy writes, "Rarely is the history of science so accurately told as in this lively and authoritative book. Alan Boss offers insights about our terrestrial origins, our extraterrestrial brethren, and our destiny in the Galaxy, placing our Earth in the cosmic context for the first time."

The Earth is inhabited by millions of different life forms, and all have been connected through common ancestry in The Tree of Life. The Tree describes the diversity and interconnectedness of all living things on Earth. This video shows the current research that is being done to fully discover the Tree of Life. Produced for the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History with the support from the U.S. National Science Foundation through the CIPRes and Angiosperm Tree of Life Programs.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DOWNLOAD THIS AND POST TO YOUR OWN CHANNEL WITH THIS MESSAGE ----- This is an important message about genetically modified foods, and the implications for human health and the biosphere of our planet. These technologies have not been properly tested, and I ask you to do your own research into the issue, this is simply an introduction. Wake up world. The awakening is here. ----- We are what we eat: Do you KNOW what is in your food? It is very important that we avoid GMO foods. They have not been adequately tested for human / biosphere safety. These countries are top GMO food producers. The most common modified foods are: soybeans, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Start reading labels. You should note that corn syrup and soy lecithin are present in most foods. (I'm going to rant about Monsanto, but they're not the ONLY company. Keep it in mind) Monsanto is best known for it's pesticides (Round up). They also have produced some of the most toxic chemicals / chemical weapons. They are now trying to gain a monopoly over our food supply. Watch The World According to Monsanto or The Future of Food Do some more research and you will find they are not a company to be trusted. Much of Europe has banned GMOs. In Canada, a bill that would require labels for GMO foods was shot down in parliament. Yet, they say they're concerned about our health and safety. Bullshit. This is disturbing, but what can we do? The first step is to go organic. I know it's much more expensive :( Fresh organic foods do not contain GMOs. They are also free of pesticides. Going organic is only part of the solution. A more sustainable long-term solution is to grow your own food. Collect seeds, we should all have a personal seed bank . If you don't have land, try to organize a community garden or look into ones already set up. There are often farmers markets as well, you can ask the farmer directly if they use GMO or pesticides. Eating locally is really the best solution, but it must be organic to avoid GMO. Another long-term solution is to organize grassroots activism to influence political action. Parliament must act if enough public outcry is costing them votes. It is important to get labels on GMO foods. Contact your MP and the Prime Minister. The Minister of Health or Agriculture are also good choices. Contact the media and state your concern about GMOs and government inaction. Together, we can change this world. It starts with one person, everything you think or do, it DOES make a difference. Every small change makes a difference. Namaste friends. ----- Apologies to the visually impaired, I need a microphone or a better voice simulator.

GMO's should not be in baby food and that is what Theresa Kiene is talking with NewBaby.com about today. Theresa has spent over seven years creating homemade baby food meals for her three children. However, as word spread of her uniquely delicious, nutritious meals, she soon found herself providing baby food for her friends’ infants as well. Homemade Baby derives from Theresa’s twin passions that all babies receive the best nutrition possible and that parents have a convenient way to provide nutritious meals. Vetted by a professor of pediatric nutrition, Homemade Baby now offers a delicious, rich assortment of freshly prepared, organic, kosher dishes that are convenient for parents to serve.

By now most people know that GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organisms. But how do GMOs affect us, the food we eat, and the environment? Jeffrey Smith, founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology provides a solid general overview in this interview.

[ http://www.oloscience.com ] DNA replication is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA molecule. This process is important in all known life forms and the general mechanisms of DNA replication are not the same in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. As each DNA strand holds the same genetic information, both strands can serve as templates for the reproduction of the opposite strand. The template strand is preserved in its entirety and the new strand is assembled from nucleotides. This process is called semiconservative replication. The resulting double-stranded DNA molecules are identical; proofreading and error-checking mechanisms exist to ensure extremely high fidelity. In a cell, DNA replication must happen before cell division. Prokaryotes replicate their DNA throughout the interval between cell divisions. In eukaryotes, timings are highly regulated and this occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle, preceding mitosis or meiosis I. A related process called DNA synthesis is the process of creating DNA synthetically in a lab while the process has similarities with the natural replication of DNA and can be used to replicate existing sequences of DNA it is also used to create new sequences as well. When natural replication of DNA creates new sequences intentionally in reproduction we call it recombination. If the new sequence is created durring replication, we call it mutation.
