I. Drosophila Melanogaster

Christian Ettenhuber and his colleagues at the Technical University of Munich have successfully applied GeneHunter in the deconvolution of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy data, permitting a new way of elucidating intermediary metabolic processes in Drosophila Melanogaster and other organisms. We have no idea what that means, but we did find out from Dr. Ettenhuber that Drosophila melanogaster is a fruitfly, made famous a few years ago in California. That much of the study we now understand!

You can get more information on the exciting metabolic processes of Drosophila Melanogaster by visiting:

and looking for the title “GeneHunter in functional genomics, biochemistry and nutrition”.

II. The Bizarro World (by Steve Ward and Jerry Seinfeld)

I’ve always thought that there are many life lessons buried in Seinfeld episodes.

First from the “Bizarro Jerry” episode:

ELAINE
Yeah! An’ he is a friend, Jerry. He is reliable. He is considerate. He’s like your, exact opposite.
JERRY
So he’s Bizarro Jerry!
ELAINE
[pause] Bizarro Jerry?
JERRY
Yeah. Like Bizarro Superman. Superman’s exact opposite, who lives in the backwards bizarro world. Up is Down. Down is Up. He says “Hello” when he leaves, “Good bye” when he arrives.

Now from the “Opposite” episode:

GEORGE
Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable, I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but … I was perceptive. I always know when someone’s uncomfortable at a party. It all became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I’ve ever made, in my entire life, has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every aspect of life, be it something to wear, something to eat … It’s all been wrong.
( A waitress comes up to GEORGE )
WAITRESS
Tuna on toast, coleslaw, cup of coffee?
GEORGE
Yeah. No, no, no, wait a minute, I always have tuna on toast. Nothing’s ever worked out for me with tuna on toast. I want the complete opposite of tuna on toast. Chicken salad, on rye, untoasted … and a cup of tea.
ELAINE
Well, there’s no telling what can happen from this.
JERRY
You know chicken salad is not the opposite of tuna, salmon is the opposite of tuna, ‘cos salmon swim against the current, and the tuna swim with it.
GEORGE
Good for the tuna.
( A blonde looks at George )
ELAINE
Ah, George, you know, that woman just looked at you.
GEORGE
So what? What am I supposed to do?
ELAINE
Go talk to her.
GEORGE
Elaine, bald men, with no jobs, and no money, who live with their parents,
don’t approach strange women.
JERRY
Well here’s your chance to try the opposite. Instead of tuna salad and being intimidated by women, chicken salad and going right up to them.
GEORGE
Yeah, I should do the opposite, I should.
JERRY
If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be
right.

To find out more about what the Bizarro world has to do with trading, visit www.ward.net and look at the recent tip I put up on this topic in the Trader tips section. I’m keeping this tip secret except within the NeuroShell World, so I don’t want to publish the whole thing here.

III. Beat the rising price of gas!

Like the rest of you, we’ve been grumbling about the increase in gasoline prices. So we thought some extra $$$ in your pocket would be a good thing. That’s why we’ve had our special sale on this month. The sale ends after Monday, but if we find an online order on our website when we return Tuesday morning, we’ll honor the 15% discount. In fact if you call Tuesday morning and tell us you heard about the sale from this newsletter, we’ll also give you the discount then, since you may not have gotten the word earlier. Here’s where you can find more info on the sale and what’s covered:

IV. Monday is a holiday for Ward Systems Group

Ward Systems Group personnel will be out of the office like the rest of the USA to honor our fallen heroes on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31. We will return Tuesday morning.

V. Make sure you continue to get the news

We are still surprised that, many months after we sent out our June newsletter announcing release 4.0, users are still calling or emailing to ask when release 4.0 will be available. Seems they all changed their email addresses and never notified us of that. They could have been making money with the new features all of this time. There are many others, no doubt, who still don’t know about release 4.0.

After all these years we are also still getting tech support calls from NeuroShell 2 users who don’t know about the AI Trilogy and its components. So they’re stuck trying to impress their bosses with older technology.

Don’t be left behind – tell us when you change email addresses.
