Marazion Beach and Red River
Looking out over 'Red River' as it flows across Marazion Beach. As you can see it isn't very red any more - it was originally named because of discolouration from mining spoil.
Oh, and there's St Mic...

The western end of Marzion Beach as it blends into Longrock beach and curves around to Penzance in the distance...
Broken Down Old Hut
I believe Stonefly posted a photo of this same old broken down old building a couple of years back.
Anyway, here it is again!...
Has anyone seen this, I know there was something posted on here about DNA before.
Apparently they can work out your ancestry from the Y chromosone which is pasted down the father's line.
They are also doing a Celtic study
Do you think it is possible to pass emotional memory down the line. Some people believe in reincarnation, I reckon that if you can share the looks of your forbearers then maybe thoughts and memories can be passed down, this would give good reason as to why people can have feelings of familiarity with places that they've never been to before.
Err, no, not really, given that these things are shaped by synaptic processes, whereas, by and large, all DNA does is give instructions to make proteins and stuff.
besides, with the 2m of DNA in (almost every) human cell, imprinting stuff at a molecular level will take LOADS of space up.
If it did, though, would you really want to relive the moment that you were conceived?
Masterclass - they say the use of Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA is better than just the use of the former (which reflects father parental line). Any comments on this?
They use this for "sorting out" spreads of Viking, Saxon and Celts and similar bods. then they try and correlate this to archaeological findings
While investigated astrological theories of how transiting planets trigger off events/sequences in a person's life by forming angular relationships to the positions of planets at the time of birth, I read an interesting article that related the 'fixed' position of planets when your born as described in an astrological birthchart, to a pattern stored in DNA, and that the supposed effects of a planetary transit to these 'fixed' positions were the domain of RNA. That is, RNA plays a genetic role that is time specific, and possible in some way affects the outcome of what DNA is doing to the body at the time.
Geneticists have recently discovered a plant that 'fixes' it's own inherited genetic faults and attributes this to RNA behaving in a similar way to having a back up copy of an original, faultless' version of the DNA. Just like you can re-install a software program if you mess up your current version.
Could Shaz's memories from the past, or deja vu even, be down to RNA releasing partial information from the past by accessing this 'back up script'?
the central dogma is DNA goes to RNA goes to protein. That's the simple answer (as regards your article, I'll have a proper look see tomorrow, as it is a bit late to go into explanations)
Right, I'll keep this as short and simple as I can, although i am happy to go into greater detail:
If you want an answer to a "who came from where" question, then looking at the Y chromosome is a good start. This is because it's a fairly short stretch of DNA, which, luckily for us, contains repeating regions (imagine when a newspaper accidentally reprints a sentence so it looks a bit newspaper accidentally reprints a sentence so it looks a bit newspaper accidentally reprints a sentence so it looks a bit newspaper accidentally reprints a sentence so it looks a bit newspaper accidentally reprints a sentence so it looks a bit and so on, you get the idea).
It is possible, then to look for these repeat sequences, across the Y chromosone and track it down. To when the repeat sequences either a) changed, or b) stopped or c) something other than.
Mitochondria are, by and large ( I do no of exceptions) passed on from the maternal line, and given that there is a known error rate in the copying of the DNA, one cana ge it by comparing it to a baseline.
