Everyone knows that some men (a tiny minority) are able to instantly attract women. It used to be known as "animal magnetism". Scientists now say this natural attraction is due to pheromones - body smells that are not consciously detected, but that effect the behavior of others towards the person giving off these chemical signals. It's natures way of attracting the opposite sex. Scientists have now isolated and synthesized two natural Attractants- androstenol and androstenone pheromone. Carefully controlled experiments show they work and have been widely reported on television and in both the British and international press. Androstenone pheromone has been successfully tested on BBC TV's "TOMORROWS WORLD" and by Desmond Morris (Author of "The Naked Ape" and "Manwatching" and renowned human behaviorist) on BBC TV's "Friday Night... Saturday Morning." New improved formula PURE INSTINCT from ICT Research Technology contains both ANDROSTENOL and ANDROSTENONE pheromone and produces and undetectable scent that subconsciously attracts women to the wearer. PURE INSTINCT is the world's number one selling and the most concentrated (5 - 7 x normal active strength) pheromone spray for men - don't be misled by cheaper (or more expensive) imitations. WHAT THE PRESS SAY: * Lowell Ponte, a former consultant on exotic weapons and a Readers Digest science writer, said in an interview that "use of the recently discovered chemical Androstenone should be banned. Congress should pass a law making it a crime to use this chemical to influence voters by making politicians appear more lovable. - The San Francisco Chronicle - * "The stuff attracts women like you wouldn't believe" - Colorado Telegraph * "And now this pheromone has been marketed, we've tested it - and good grief it works" - Koave * "pheromones influence human behavior in a subtle way. Women are attracted to the smell" - The Daily Telegraph * "Pure Instinct is likely to produce a state of sexual excitement or arousal" - Men Only (Vol. #44 No. 4) Much of our sales of PURE INSTINCT are reorders from existing users, reports confirm success. "PURE INSTINCT really does seem to work! The most dramatic instances have occurred when wearing it at discos. Girls just drift towards me and start flirting." -DT Cardiff "I Knew PURE INSTINCT wasn't a gimmick when one of the girls at work, quite out of character, started to seduce me when we were alone in the office." -SD Nottingham PURE INSTINCT comes in a discreet 15ml pocket roll on container with full instructions, Ideal for any man who wants to join that lucky few who have more than their fair share of sex appeal. 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE If you are not 100% delighted with the results from using PURE INSTINCT simply return remainder within 30 days for a full refund- No questions asked!

I am currently writing this message from Nanjing, China where I am the curator of the Chinese medicinal garden at the Nanjing Institute of Botany. The director of this institute is Professor He Shan-an. Director He asked me if I would try to see if there was anyone I could discover via the Internet who was working in the field of research on grasses. We have here a very knowledgeable and highly qualified researcher of grasses who is currently working on some research on grasses at this institute. Her name is Liu Jian-xiu. She would very much like to communicate and exchange ideas with other researchers in the study of grasses. I found the web site, Grasses-Science/bionet.biology.grasses, in my efforts to try to locate some contacts for Ms. Liu. I was very excited when I discovered this site. I must say that I highly applaud your efforts to filter out all the spam that is present in your site. It is indeed quite disturbing and inappropriate in this site. In any event, if you could possibly send me any list of contacts who Ms. Liu (or I, on her behalf) might try to contact regarding the above-mentioned purpose, we would be very grateful here at this institute. Or if you know another site or person I should contact which/who might have such a list (or would be able to link Ms. Liu, organizationally, to other researchers, through some type of "bulletin board" or similar concept--whereby I could post a message asking for interested individuals to contact me here and other grass researchers would be able to find the message and respond), that would also be greatly appreciated. I have no doubt that Ms. Liu would have much of value to contribute informationally to others in this field, so I am fairly certain this would not be a one-sided process. Thank you very much for your time and consideration of this matter. I look forward to hearing from you.

I know the beetles like to inhabit graineries (along with the definitive host of the tapeworm, the rat). However, my advisor has had difficulty convincing the owners of these graineries that he is a zoologist and not the health inspector. Thus, he has been unable to do any sort of collection/survey in these places. Does anyone have any ideas how I could get around this? Does anyone know of a site where the beetles, the rats and the tapeworm occur together?

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.

We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method.
