April 25, 2003 - USA, China, France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom
The Human Genome Project to determine the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up DNA of the human genome consisting of 20,000-25,000 genes started in 1990 is published. The project started in the US with James D. Watson who was head of the National Center for Human Genome Research at the National Institutes of Health but over the next 10 years geneticists in China, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom all worked together on the project helping the project end two years earlier than planned. One of the most important aspects of this research is it available to available to anyone on the Internet and not owned or controlled by any one company or government.
DNA THE "SECRET OF LIFE"
April 25, 1953 - England
April 25, 1953 - England
Two Cambridge University scientists "James D Watson and Francis Crick" publish an article in Nature Magazine explaining the structure of DNA and that DNA is the material that makes up genes which pass hereditary characteristics in all life from one parent to another. They conclude that it consists of a double helix of two strands coiled around each other and could even be considered the "secret of life".

The Revolution

This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution...."
by Thomas Jefferson

about Eyesight Myth and Fact
Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable.
about Stolen On New Year's
More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)
A Little Mixed Up :
ARTICLE INFORMATION :
Just a line to say I'm living, That I'm not among the dead
Though I'm getting more forgetful And more mixed up in the head.

ARTICLE CONTENT :
Just a line to say I'm living, That I'm not among the dead
Though I'm getting more forgetful And more mixed up in the head.
For sometimes I can't remember When I stand at foot of stair, If I must go up for something, Or if I've just come down from there, And before the frig so often My poor mind is filled with doubt Have I just put food away, or Have I come to take some out.
And they're times when it is dark out, With my night cap on my head, I don't know if I'm retiring, Or just getting out of bed So, if it's my turn to write you There's no need of getting sore I may think that I have written, And don't want to be a bore.
So, remember I do love you, And I wish that you were here;
But now it's nearly mail time So I must say "Good-bye, dear."

There I stood beside the mail box With a face so very red,
Instead of mailing you a letter, I had opened it instead !
