If so, which ones do you hope are true?
•Eradication of cancer as we know it, using sound waves, photo sensitive drug therapy, and “self-addicting” cells.
•Robotic houses, controlled by computerized switchboard.
•Electrical cars with flotation ability for water travel to bypass freeways.
•Houses made from pressed paper with plastic coatings; interchangeable walls
•Separate body parts cloned for organ transplants; not an entire body.
•New form of painless tooth extraction, using a type of suction, with immediate replacement of new tooth.
•Diagnostic chambers which map the body’s electrical balance to predict health problems before the come.
•Cylindrical rooms in which people enter to see an automated projection of the clothing and color that would look good on them; select what you want, take your measurements, then two days later pick up the goods.
•Third floor of houses have rollback roofs to allow Hovercrafts to come and go.
•No more surgery with knives. Some type of molecular ionization device that knows how to take out the afflicted cells then seal the wound without a single scar.
•Remolding of the whole face structure, to duplicate any look that you wish.
•New exercise equipment that you sit or stand in, and it literally stimulates your muscles with electricity to achieve the same effect as physical exercise.
•Babies will be birthed in water all the time, with music, incense, and green and lavender lights.
•People will be able to simply “walk out” of their bodies upon death.
•There will be no US Presidency; our government will go back to a Greek Senate structure.
•No longer a single Pope, but a triumvirate of Popes, each assigned to a geographic collection of Catholics.
•Peace in the Middle East will prevail by 2050.

•The Hawaiian Islands will have upheaval and be the site of a large new landmass.
•Atlantis will begin to show itself by 2023 and be fully visible by 2026.
•After 2050, the “Age of the Messiah” is upon us. People turn totally toward Spirituality, peace will rein for a long time. People will return to community living, loving each other, and working together.
•Treatment for depression and mood disorders will come from a “control chamber” that emits sensory stimulation gently to the brain, including certain smells, which will elevate mood.
•Medicine in pill form goes away; instead we have air-injected delivery through the skin.
•Atomic batteries will run cars.
•No more gas propelled rockets in space; we will have nuclear powered cylinder shaped objects that travel everywhere.
•A moon base is created for people to visit, and as a stopping place for further trips.
By 2055 most people will live in domed cities due to poor atmospheric conditions.
•A virtual reality headset will stimulate brain waves so people can learn whole libraries of information within hours.
•Giant fruits and vegetables will be grown in hothouse environments. The nutrients will be synthesized into a highly condensed injection.
•Proteins are developed without animal meat, very powerful, builds immune system.
•Addictions will be a thing of the past because of a brain stimulation, which eradicates all addictions, with no side effects
•Execution for the death penalty will become a complete vaporization of the body.
•No separate governments, one planetary government will form.
•Great earth changes will occur and germ warfare will be used before the world finds peace. But eventually from all of the bad comes good. The pendulum will swing back to humanity and love.
•No world war is coming, but lots of civil disorder and small skirmishes. No nuclear holocaust.
•Peace will last from 2050 until 2100, and then I see nothing beyond, which could mean “the end will come like a thief in the night.”
•Toward the end of things, the veil separating our world from The Other Side will thin, so much so that most people will see decease loved ones and speak with their Spirit Guides.
•There will be many false prophets that rise up proclaiming to be Jesus on Earth, and try to lead people astray. We are already seeing this in the big rise of occultism.
•People will again find Spirituality, not so much in organized religion, but in the spiritual brotherhood of coming together and finding their Temple within.
•Four more comets will pass by before the end times.
•Aliens will begin to show themselves in the year 2010, they will not harm us, they simply want to see what we are doing to this planet. They will teach us how to use anti-gravity devices again, such as they did for the pyramids.

I believe they are at the very most 24 hrs old. This new family lives in a ‘CritterTrail X’ cage, and she decided to nest in the “Petting Zone”, the second highest floor of the cage. (Here’s the mfg’s site, http://www.superpetusa.com/index.html ; see the ‘tupperware’ shaped part with the green top, against the purple roof? Right there.) I’m concerned about the pups being up there and falling down the tunnel tube when they start moving about, especially after two weeks old. Also should we remove the wheel..?
My biggest(!) concern is that her cage is in the living room… barely two meters from the tv. Should we move the cage (although this would be a major disruption to her), move it to the floor from the desk it’s on, block it off visually with boxes…?
My retired father also likes to watch news channels and although a fairly intelligent person, is somewhat… insensitive, usually talks loudly on the phone and won’t always remember that the mother needs quiet during such a sensitive time. I’m not sure what to do with her cage location because of all this. Any timely advice would be very helpful.
What I already know:
1. Babies no touchy (for at least two weeks).
2. Cooked eggs, tofu, carrots and apples for mom’s extra nutrition in addition to regular fresh food & water. (Scrambled/fried eggs too greasy..? Can the tofu be uncooked?)
3. No cage cleaning for at least two weeks.
4. Added white tp for soft nesting material.
5. Other than feed and water, no disturbances.
6. Weaned at about 3 weeks, separate to male/female from mom before 4 weeks, or to be on the safe side, individually to prevent breeding.

This is going to sound Cliche, but I’m at that point where I’m not a little girl anyone but I’m not a fully-self sufficent everything-has-its-place woman, so I want something that can mature with me and not have to be replaced in a few years when I move out. I dont need new furniture, and recarpeting is a no-go, otherwise I can do whatever I want.
So my question is what are some good sites to go to to get ideas? Stuff I can take with me when I move out that fit a 20-something without being too stuffy or matronly?

The largest human cells are about the diameter of a human hair, but most human cells are smaller — perhaps one-tenth of the diameter of a human hair.
Run your fingers through your hair now and look at a single strand. It is not very thick — maybe 100 microns in diameter (a micron is a millionth of a meter, so 100 microns is a tenth of a millimeter). A typical human cell might be one-tenth of the diameter of your hair (10 microns). Look down at your little toe — it might represent 2 or 3 billion cells or so, depending on how big you are. Imagine a whole house filled with baby peas. If the house is your little toe, the peas are the cells. That’s a lot of cells!
At a microscopic level, we are all composed of cells. Look in a mirror — what you see is about 10 trillion cells divided into about 200 different types of cells. Our muscles are made of muscle cells, our livers of liver cells, and there are even very specialized types of cells that make the enamel for our teeth or the clear lenses in our eyes!
If you want to understand how your body works, you need to understand cells. Everything from reproduction to infections to repairing a broken bone happens down at the cellular level. If you want to understand new frontiers like biotechnology and genetic engineering, you need to understand cells as well.
Quick Review
All life is made of cells.
Most scientists divide life into 5 separate kingdoms (Plants, Animals, Protists, Moneran, & Fungi) based on their similarities and differences.
Some life forms are very simple and made of only one cell (Moneran, Protists, some Fungi).
Other life forms (Animals, Plants, some Fungi) are made of many cells that work together
In the last lesson we saw what most cells have in common. When you hear the word cells or study cells you can put a picture in your mind of what a cell looks like. You are familiar with the basic parts of all cells, like a cell membrane, the nucleus, and the mitochondria.
In this lesson, our purpose is to see how cells are different. We call this cell differentiation. In the nucleus of each cell you will find small structures called chromosomes. These hold the plan, like a set of blueprints, which decides what a cell will look like and what its job will be.
A maple tree is an example of a complex organism. It has many cells, but some of the tons of cells do one job, while some of the tons of cells do another job. That is why if I handed you a piece of a maple tree you could tell right away if it was a piece of bark, root, or a leaf.
Each of those parts are made of cells. Each type of cell (leaf cells, bark cells, etc.) has a special task to do so the tree can survive. The leaf gathers sunlight to make food for the tree, but obviously the roots, being underground, away from the sun, don’t do the same job. They bring water to the leaves and anchor the tree in place. A leaf cell can only make more leaf cells and a bark cell can only make more bark cells.
All types of complex organisms have different cells to do different jobs. To better understand cell differentiation we are going use an example with which you are very familiar — your body.
FUN FACT: All cells are 90% water.
How are Cells organized?
Every living thing is made of separate cells. They can do their specific job, and work together.
Cells in your body are organized like a school district is organized. In a school there are levels of organization. Students are organized into classes. Classes are organized into grade levels. Grade levels are organized into schools. Schools are organized into a school district.
Life forms have a similar arrangement. Individual cells join together to form tissue, like muscle tissue, bone tissue, or skin tissue. Tissues join together to form organs, like your lungs, your brain, or your intestines. Organs join together to form a whole body system, like the skeletal system, nervous system, or the digestive system. All the body systems join to form the organism.
Comparing cells to schools would look something like this:
Example in a person
Level of organization in a person
Level of organization in a school
Muscle cell
Cell
Student
Muscle tissues
Tissues
Classes
Heart muscle
Organs
Grade Levels
Circulatory System
Organ Systems
Schools
Person
Organism
School District
Let’s Get Moving!
What happens when you run, jump, swim, just tap you fingers on the desk, or even yawn? Muscles help your body do these actions. Plants don’t move around so they don’t need muscle tissue which is made of muscle cells. These long stringy fibers can pull together and then relax. When a muscle cell in your body contracts, it is using energy to move some part of you. You know muscle cells in your arms are working when you pick up a heavy box. But they’re even busy extending and contracting when you smile, frown, breathe, or laugh.
Your heart muscle cells NEVER get a break, keeping your heart beating even when you are asleep.
ONLY SKIN DEEP??
Plants have a layer of outer cells to protect what’s inside, just like that plastic sandwich bag protects your bologna and cheese sandwich. You have a protective layer, too — your skin cells. Touch your hand and you’re touching many thousands of skin cells. All of your outer cells (the ones you can touch) are dead. But just underneath this surface are neat rows of living skin cells.
Squeezed in between those skin cells are other types of cells; nerve cells, which allow you to feel things; fat cells that keep you warm; and capillary cells that make sure all the cells are supplied with oxygen and nutrients from your bloodstream. Skin cells are shaped a little like building blocks, all fitting neatly together and holding all of you together.
The Eyes Have It
Your eyes have nerve cells that turn light into electrical impulses and then send them to your brain. Cone shaped cells pick up bright lights and colors and rod-shaped cells respond to dimmer signals. The retina of your eye contains about 137 million light-sensitive cells in an area about one square inch. There are 130 million rod shaped cells for black and white vision and 7 million cone cells for color vision. Dogs also have special light sensitive cells called cones, which are needed for color vision. However dogs don’t have as many cones, or as many types of cones, as people do. Dogs see greenish-blue colors as white or grey. They can tell the difference between blues and reds, but confuse colors ranging between greenish yellow and red. This means your dog may have a hard time spotting a red ball on a green lawn.
Bone Cells & Fat Cells
Bone cells aren’t all hard and brittle, like you might think. Like your other cells, they are soft and surrounded by membranes. But these cells need calcium and are grouped to form bony tissue. Without our bony skeleton to hold us up, we’d sink to the ground in a big heap.
Fat Cells look like a bunch of bubbles. They store energy and help insulate the body from cold. When you eat more calories than your body can use that day, your body stores that extra energy as fat, for later. If you run a long race or participate in a strenuous sporting event, you may need more energy than your body has taken in that day. You fat cells are ready to keep your body energized for those intense times.
Your body has many other types of cells. Each type has a specific job and looks different from other cell types, but does look like other cells of the same type. Bone cells look like other bone cells, but look nothing like liver cells.
Tools for Viewing Cells
A magnifying glass can magnify a cell 10-20 times.
An average microscope can magnify a cell 40, 100, & 400 times. An advanced optical microscope can magnify a cell 2,000 times.
An electron microscope can magnify a cell 1 million times.
