Biochemistry is the study of the chemical components in living things, and the interplay between such components.  As such its practical applications are virtually boundless.  Two of the biggest fields of work that require biochemistry knowledge are pharmaceuticals, and genetics. The pharmaceutical industry greatly relies on biochemistry because the chemical make-up of the body must be studied in relationship to the chemicals we might put in out body via prescription or over the counter drugs.  Certain medications have been developed specifically because of biochemistry research. For example, antidepressants like Paxil,  Zoloft and Prozac, called serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are used because there is an underlying medical assumption that in depressed people, serotonin gets used too quickly by the body.  This affects mood significantly.  By inhibiting the body’s quick grab for serotonin, more free serotonin is allowed to circulate and thus improves depression.

The  Lil Wayne / Birdman  drama is far from over, although it's quieted down for a minute. Weezy has still been taking every opportunity possible to  distance himself from his Cash Money  affiliates, and  he recently announced a release date for the  Free Weezy Album,  a non-apologetic jab at Birdman and CM, whom Wayne  previously said was holding him prisoner. Following Wayne moving his lawsuit against Birdman to New Orleans,  TMZ  has unearthed new details on the situation. According to documents filed by Lil Wayne, the rapper claims that Birdman and Cash Money have mismanaged  Young Money , including its biggest stars  Drake  and  Nicki Minaj . The documents allege that Baby/CM haven't paid people whom they owe money too, they haven't handed over profits either, among other things. Weezy claims that they've been mishandled so badly that both Drake and Nicki Minaj will probably leave Young Money. We'll keep you posted if this sees a reply from Birdman

Popular musician 2face Idibia has denied news making the rounds that he diverted cash generated at a special fund raising concert tagged, ‘Eargasm’ into his personal account. The multiple-award winning singer refuted the claims in an interview while reacting to questions raised, saying it was insane for anyone to think he would bring himself so low as to divert money meant for the downtrodden. He said, “My attention is focused more on the individuals and organizations concerned with providing support for IDPs; people who murmur about hidden agenda don’t matter.

Today, using Facebook is the most practical and popular thing you can do to promote your business. At the same time, it’s increasingly necessary to know how the site’s rules and regulations work so that you don’t end up getting blocked and wasting a ton of time and effort.  A minor “misuse” of the site, COULD in the worst case scenario, end with the closure of your account. A really popular urban legend has been going around lately: Facebook Jail. What is Facebook Jail?     Facebook Jail is when Facebook punish an account (profile or business page) -it could be that it blocks some features or disable the full account- because it breaks Facebook laws (post inappropriate content, post too fast, give too many likes, etc.). The penalties range from the impossibility of publishing for a few hours, 3 days, 6 days, a week until the removal of the profile or page. The problem is that reading the terms and conditions either ends up confusing us or flat-out putting us to sleep.

Drake's been making headlines for reasons beyond music lately, as a model's accused him of getting her pregnant. Now, sources close to the rapper are revealing just how he reacted to the news and it sounds like Drizzy isn't as bothered as many may think. According to TMZ, the "Passionfruit" rapper claims he did not get the Instagram model pregnant and "thinks her claim is so ridiculous" that he didn't even push his team to make the situation go away. The model in question, Layla Lace, recently made public claims that Drake got her pregnant while in London and once she shared the news with him, he went M.I.A.. Now, however, she's deleted all evidence of the allegations. After noticing that her tracks were scrubbed completely, many assumed Drake's team intimidated her and possibly threatened her with a lawsuit, forcing her to remove the posts. However, they claim this couldn't be further from the truth since the MC has

What are the disadvantages of condoms? In This Section In order for condoms to work well, you have to use them correctly, the whole time, every time you have sex, and they can take some getting used to. You have to use a condom every time you have sex. In order for condoms to be effective, you have to use a new one correctly every single time you have sex. That means putting on a condom before there’s any skin-to-skin genital contact, and keeping it on until you’re done having sex. If you only use condoms sometimes, or put them on halfway through sex, they won’t work as well. Having a supply of condoms and making sure they’re close by before you get busy can help you remember to use them. If you’re looking for birth control that gives you round-the-clock pregnancy protection with minimal effort, check out the  implant  and the  IUD , or take this  quiz to find the method that’s best for you.
